St Croix County Board of Adjustment October 22nd, 2026

The St. Croix County Board of Adjustment meeting, identified in the title as October 22, 2026 (metadata timestamp: October 23), considered conditional use permits. The hearing for a proposed major home-occupation meat-processing facility in the Town of Baldwin covered state licensing and inspections, wastewater and animal-remains disposal, odor, sanitation, traffic, and neighbors’ safety concerns. The Town of Baldwin had recommended denial, while staff described possible permit conditions; the supplied transcript does not clearly record the board’s decision on this application. The transcript also records a unanimous approval motion for a veterinary clinic permit, but its discussion is incomplete and appears out of sequence.

The board unanimously approved three conditional use permits for a property in the Town of St. Joseph’s Lower St. Croix Riverway District: grading near a slope-preservation zone, grading over 10,000 square feet, and replacement of a river-access lift. Conditions included nonreflective building materials, stormwater and erosion-control planning, required permits, and county compliance inspections; the discussion also called for clarifying the lift’s structural support requirements. The next meeting was scheduled for December 3, with one application expected. No procurement, contract award, or government purchasing activity was identified.
