4. Approval of January 6, 2015 LCZ Committee minutes
Action: Motion / second by Maszk/ Langenhahn to approve the minutes as distributed from the January 6, 2015 meeting.
Motion carried by voice vote, no dissent.
5. Public Hearings, possible action, possible recommendation to County Board for consideration
A. Michael Bourke on behalf of Equity Cooperative Livestock Sales Association – A-1/2 General Agricultural to
M-2 heavy Industrial – Town of Frankfort
Discussion: Bourke said they have outgrown the current site north of Stratford on State Highway 97, which borders
the Big Eau Pleine River. The proposed site is on State Highway 97 ½ mile south of State Highway 29. Plans for the
structure have not been finalized but estimate about 70,000 square feet. Construction is not likely to take place this
year. Town of Frankfort recommends approval citing consistency with their comprehensive plan.
Ryan and Karen Ellenbecker live across State Highway 97 (Town of Wien) and object to the facility at this site, which
is at the bottom of the 29/97 overpass and on a steep grade. Their concerns include traffic safety and noise of engine
braking from trucks. They say the current site as an example of how traffic gets backed up entering and exiting, even
with a turn lane, and can foresee traffic backed up onto State Highway 29 on busier days. Cars coming from the north
along State Highway 97 at a speed limit of 55 mph may create accidents because of not being able to see slow or
stopped traffic until too late, particularly in less than ideal road conditions. Ellenbeckers think Equity should have
purchased a 20 acre parcel further south at the intersection of State Highway 97 and Elderberry Road. They feel a
reduced speed limit and turn lanes would be necessary, and request a traffic study of accidents in the area before a
decision is made.
DOT has issued Bourke two driveway permits for ingress (north driveway) and egress (south driveway). This site will
allow traffic to exit the highway and travel around the back of the structure, removing traffic from the highway. He
does not anticipate an increase in traffic from that at the current facility. The structure will have an auction area,
holding pens, office, and restaurant. Bourke is working with CPZ to address manure management.
The issue of safety on a state highway is the jurisdiction of WI DOT, and is subject to DOT standards. The proposed
site has a greater usable area than the existing. The Board of Adjustment has no role in this application since it is a
permitted use in the M-2 district. Accident statistics may be available from the Sheriff’s Department.
Action: Motion / second by King / Cihlar to postpone a decision until the next meeting in order to try to obtain
traffic accident statistics. Motion carried by split vote: Aye – King, Maszk, Cihlar; Nay – Kraus, Duerr.
Follow through: Staff will attempt to obtain traffic accident statistics for the area. Rezone request will be placed on
the March agenda.
B. Blanche Wix / Kelly Bohman – A-4 Agricultural Transition to RR Rural/Residential and A-4 Agricultural
Transition to A-1/2 General Agricultural – Town of McMillan
Discussion: Bohman is asking to separate her mother’s property into two parcels so the residence can be sold to a
family member and the remainder stays in agricultural zoning. The residence cannot be sold separately under current
zoning due to lot size restrictions. Town recommends approval citing consistency with their comprehensive plan.
Bujalski said that the agricultural zoning on the remainder parcel is consistent with the surrounding mix of urban and
rural uses.
1
Action: Motion / second by King / Duerr to recommend approval of the Wix/Bohman rezone request to the County
Board. Motion carried by voice vote, no dissent.
Follow through: Forward the Wix/Bohman rezone to County Board for action at their next regularly scheduled
meeting.
C. Dan Higginbotham on behalf of Eau Claire River LLC – SW Shoreland Wetland to General Shoreland – Town
of Stettin
Discussion: The site is +/- 98 acres on the border of the Town of Stettin and the City of Wausau, with about 24 acres
of upland and about 50-60 acres of floodplain. The intent is to mine sand from the floodplain and create a pond. The
wetlands have been delineated, and Army Corps of Engineers concur with the findings. The plan must still go to the
Town of Stettin and the DNR for approval. Approval at this hearing would remove the area from wetlands, and
update wetland boundaries and maps as field verified. Stettin addresses land use. Marathon County has jurisdiction
of all shoreland, wetland, and floodplain areas in unincorporated areas of the county.
Action: Motion / second by King / Duerr to recommend approval of the Eau Claire River LLC rezone request to the
County Board. Motion carried by voice vote, no dissent.
Follow through: Forward the Eau Claire River LLC rezone to County Board for action at their next regularly
scheduled meeting.
6. Policy discussion and possible action.
A. Zoning Comprehensive Revision
Citizen Task Force
Discussion: Nineteen applications were received to serve on the task force. Staff was pleased with the qualifications
and experience of all of the applicants. After review of all the applicants the Committee chose twelve to serve on the
task force, with the goal of selecting a wide range of experience, background, and locale.
Action: Motion / second by Kraus / Langenhahn to select Arnie Schlei, Keith Langenhahn, Richard Lawson, Joe
Pyzyk, John Bujalski, Don Genrich, Marilyn Bhend, Dennis Dieringer, Richard Duerr, Jim Servi, Laura McGucken,
and Kelly King. Motion carried by voice vote, no dissent.
Follow through: Staff will contact the selected members and begin the process of facilitating the task force.
Cihlar excused at 2:12 p.m.
Public Hearing on Re-Structuring Chapter 17 Zoning Code
Discussion: D. Johnson is requesting a public hearing in order to separate the shoreland, wetland, and floodplain
regulation language from the zoning code. It is confusing because, unlike the zoning code, there is no local
jurisdiction in the shoreland floodplain regulations.
Action: Motion / second by King / Maszk to approve holding a public hearing in March to move shoreland, wetland
and floodplain text from the zone code to a new code. Motion carried by voice vote, no dissent.
Follow through: Staff will prepare for the public hearing in March.
Maszk excused at 2:20 p.m.
Policy discussion on future comprehensive revisions
Discussion: D. Johnson asked if LCZ would like to include a time frame for regular comprehensive revisions to the
zone code as a part of the new zone code text. If so, it would make sense for a revision to occur concurrently with the
comprehensive plan revisions (10 year intervals). It may encourage towns to adopt county zoning if they knew it
wasn’t a “forever” commitment. Kraus questioned whether staff was implying a mandatory or suggested revision.
Action: Motion / second by Duerr / Langenhahn to forward this topic to ERC to discuss whether to include a term of
revision within the revised zone code. Motion carried by voice vote, no dissent.
Follow through: Topic will be forwarded to ERC for policy discussion.
B. Land and Water Resource Management (LWRM) Plan – Request for extension
Discussion: Marathon County’s LWRM plan was approved and adopted in 2010. A five year extension from the WI
Land and Water Conservation Board (LWCB) is required to fulfill the plan’s ten year horizon and for Marathon
County to access state Soil and Water Resource Management grants. The request for extension to the LWCB
will allow staff opportunity to share the status of LWRM implementation accomplishments and advise of possible
upcoming policy considerations such as the Eastern Lakes, manure management, farmland preservation, zoning,
Fenwood Creek pilot project, and the Managing for Results scorecard.
Action: Motion / second by Langenhahn / Kraus to approve the 5 year extension. Motion carried by voice vote, no
dissent

2016 CPZ service fees
Discussion: Daigle advised that the department will be reviewing and recommending adjustments to department fees
over the next couple months in preparation for the 2016 budget.
Action: None
Manure management policy considerations
Discussion: A. Johnson presented policy and administrative recommendations to address soil and water concerns,
identifying the need for balance between education and regulatory services. He recommends requiring (state
performance standards) nutrient management plans for all manure and commercial fertilizer applications, as well as
regulatory rules (state prohibitions) for overflow of waste storage facilities, unconfined manure piles in water quality
management areas, and direct runoff from feedlots or store manure into state waters for every livestock operation in
the county. Topics to address are the costs to implement and bring information out to the community, employee
development and expanded responsibilities, balancing costs and service levels, and setting priorities and customizing
services to be more effective.
A. Johnson also suggests administratively addressing citation authority, requiring and enforcing operation and
maintenance (O&M) plans, and education to increase awareness of resource concerns. Specifically, education topics
would include: identifying and reporting spills, having emergency response plans, improving monitoring and
inspection of waste management practices and structures, and coordinating with local, state and federal agencies for
programming and assistance available to producers.
Action: Motion / second by Langenhahn / Duerr to forward the policy (memo items 1 & 2) and administrative
considerations (memo items 3, 4, & 5) to ERC.
Kraus feels that is a huge amount on a first pass, and suggests completing one item, specifically nutrient management
plans, before moving on to the rest. LCZ should do some groundwork before passing all to ERC.
Motion / second by Kraus / Langenhahn to amend the motion to forward to ERC the proposed policy consideration
of state performance standards nutrient management plan, as well as the proposed administrative considerations; not
to include the state prohibitions listed under the policy considerations. Some of the administrative concerns may
develop into policy decisions and coordination with the Board of Health.
Amendment to the motion carried by voice vote. Aye – Duerr, Kraus, Langenhahn, and King.
Motion, as amended, carried by voice vote. No dissent.
Follow through: State Performance Standards - Nutrient Management Plan, and Administration considerations of
citation authority, operation and maintenance plans, and education to be forwarded to ERC for policy discussion.
Citations – Schedule of deposits for Animal Waste and Livestock Licensing Ordinance
Discussion: Daigle presented a schedule of deposits for violations of the Animal Waste Storage and Nutrient
Management and the Livestock Facilities Licensing ordinances. The General Code of Ordinances must be amended to
allow CPZ citation authority for these ordinances.
Action: Motion / second by Duerr / King to move to ERC to discuss amending the General Code of Ordinances to
include CPZ citation authority for the Animal Waste and Livestock Facility ordinances. Motion carried by voice
vote, no dissent.
Follow through: Forward to ERC to request citation authority for the Animal Waste and Livestock Facility
ordinances.
Private Onsite Waste Treatment Systems (POWTS) priorities, service levels, and costs
Discussion: Enhanced level of service could be accomplished by the department obtaining agent status from the
Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services to review mound plans “in-house” rather than the plan
being submitted to a state office. The department already has agent status for holding tank review. The costs to the
applicant would remain the same, since the review fee would be paid to the county rather than the state. Plan review,
in most instances, would be complete within 2 weeks rather than the current 4-6 weeks at a state office. The resulting
revenue could cover part of the cost of transitioning the current part-time onsite waste position to a full-time position.
This would also assist in becoming current on holding tank maintenance and inspections of failing systems.
Action: Motion / second by Kraus / King to provide enhanced service by applying for POWTS agent status with the
State. Motion carried by voice vote, no dissent
Follow through: Staff will begin the process of applying for agent status for mound systems and moving forward with
transitioning the part time onsite waste position to full time.

The County Farmland Preservation Zoning district amendments are at the State waiting for signatures. Town of
Mosinee, which is town zoned, has requested an extension to allow the town to update their district.
Town of Stettin, which is town zoned, has allowed their Farmland Preservation ordinance to lapse, resulting in a loss
of 2014 tax credits for up to 3,000 acres of farmland for the farmers in that town.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Marathon County Land Conservation and Zoning Committee
FROM:
Dean Johnson, Marathon County Zoning Administrator
DATE:
February 27, 2015
SUBJECT: Requested Traffic Data for the Equity Livestock Site
At the February Land Conservation and Zoning, (LCZ) committee meeting it was requested that the Conservation
Planning and Zoning, (CPZ), staff obtain traffic data near the proposed Equity Livestock site on State Highway 97.
The first request was to locate traffic count numbers for the area where Equity proposes the new site and at their
existing site. CPZ staff was able to acquire the Annual Average Daily traffic count from the Department of
Transportation’s (DOT) website. The following are the traffic counts for the two areas:
-Proposed Area (From the STH 29/97 interchange to County Road N) – 3,500 cars
-Existing Location (County Road P to the Village of Stratford boundary) – 4,400 cars.
The second request was to look at accident data for the area near the interchange of State Highway 97 and State
Highway 29. We received crash data from the Marathon County Sheriff’s department for Marathon County
crashes from 2009 to 2013. We extracted the crashes that occurred between the interchange of STH 29 and 97
and Elderberry Road which is 1 mile south of the interchange. The attached chart shows incidents. A brief
summary of the chart is:
Total # of Accidents:
50
Out of the 50, number of accidents reported on Highway 97:
20
Out of the 20 Number of Accidents listed as Deer crashes:
7
The third and final request was to contact the WisDOT and see what the process of the approval was for the 2
driveways for Equity Livestock. Attached to this memo you will find the email from Rich Handrick, North Cental
Region Access Engineer for WisDOT. This explains what they did as part of the approval for the Equity Livestock
access permits.

Good morning Dean,
WisDOT does have a structured procedure for review and approval/denial of access requests on the
state highway system.
Our process for the review of the Equity Livestock access request was as follows:
1) Permit applications received by WisDOT – Kelly Nicolaus.
2) Kelly routed information and field review forms to Andy Manty, our Marathon County
Maintenance Engineer.
3) Andy performed a field review, sight distance measurement, etc. of the proposed access
locations.
4) I reviewed the applications and field reviews, discussed with Kelly and Andy, and wrote up
additional permit provisions specific to the site and proposed land use.
5) The additional provisions include a requirement for the northern access point to be an
ingress only, and for the southern access to be an egress only. The reason for this is to
separate the turning movements for entering and exiting traffic to prevent the ‘shadow
vehicle’ effect that can obscure through traffic from turning drivers, thereby creating safety
hazards.
The permits are also provisioned so that if total hourly trips accessing the parcel (entire parcel, not
each driveway) exceeds 100, WisDOT will revisit the permits and may require movement,
consolidation, or other changes.
The permits also contain a safety and operational clause that WisDOT may address if the parcel and
it’s access points display safety or operational issues.
In summary, WisDOT believes the access points, if used as applied for and permitted, should
function safely and efficiently. If the access points do not, WisDOT will revisit the permits, the site
conditions and traffic volumes, and potentially require modifications in order to preserve highway
safety and capacity. Hope that answers your questions – please let me know if you need anything additional.
Thanks!

Kelly,
I am contacting you in regards to the Equity livestock site on Hwy 97 in Marathon County. As you
may remember they just purchased a 20 acre piece of property south of the Highway 29/97
interchange. We are in the middle of the Rezoning process at this point and we are had one
meeting on the rezone which the DOT approval of the location of the driveways was the topic of
interest by the residents that live near the site and figure that the State should not have permitted
the accesses because of the terrain of the road in that area.
Could you give me a brief description of the approval process that you did for this site to share with
the Land Conservation Committee so they can see that the DOT had a structured procedure in
approving the location of the driveways.
Thank you
