SPECIAL USE PERMIT VIOLATIONS - STANFORD KRUEGER The City notified Mr. Stanford Krueger to appear before the City Council at their regular meeting of 1/16/90 to discuss why he has failed to comply with conditions of his Special Use Permit approved in 1987 by the City Council. Mr. Krueger's initial request was to allow construction of an accessory building prior to construction of the principal residence on his property described as the NW 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of Section 33 T31N, R2.1W, Washington County, Minnesota. In his presentation before the Planning Commission and City Council, Mr. Krueger emphasized that the building would be used to store his farming equipment and harvested crops, as well as his residential needs, once his home is built. The permit was approved by the City Council in 1987, and Mr. Krueger agreed to comply with all conditions of the permit including the construction of his home by December of 1988. In the fall of 1988, Mr. Krueger appeared before the City Council stated that because of financial conditions, he was unable to construct his home and requested a one-year extension to comply with the conditions of the Special Use Permit. The City Council granted the extension through 12/7-1/89. On November 20, 1989, at approximately 1:00 F'h1, the city administrator visited the site in question located at 6909 132nd Street North, Hugo, MN. Mr. Stanford Krueger was present on the site and accompanied the city administrator as he viewed the grounds and the east 1/2 of the storage building constructed under the SUP. It was noted during the inspection that the property to the north and south of the building was not being farmed, and had not been farmed for some time. There was no farm equipment or harvested crops being stored in the building. Mr. Krueger was loading pallets of boxes onto shelving by use of a farm tractor with a forklift on the front. It was obvious from the inspection that the property was not being used for farm purposes, and the structure in question was being used for some type of commercial/indus- trial storage. In the course of the inspection, the administrator asked to view the west 1/2 of the building, and was denied entrance by Mr. Krueger. During the city administrator's conversation with Mr. Krueger, the owner stated that as soon as he puts his Vadnais Heights home up for sale and sells it, he intends to fence in his property and run some cattle in it and proceed with the. building of a residence an site.
