City Council meeting of January 16, 1990 Wage has made no attempt to submit any house -construction plans or secure a building permit for the construction of a residence on this site. As of 12/31/89, the City staff is considering Mr. Stanford k:rueger's $1,00(--) deposit as forfeited, and is seeking the direction of the City Council with regard to legal action to force removal of the building from the site for failure to comply with condition numbers ?, 8, and 10 of the SUP. Mr. Krueger was present at the meeting, and presented the Council with copies of his contract for deed, an ingress/egress easement to his property, and a certificate of survey. Mr. Krueger attempted to explain why he could not pay off his contract of deed until 1992 preventing him from obtaining a building permit. After review of the contract for deed, City Attorney, Charles Johnson, stated that he did not see any impediment to obtaining a building permit on the 40 acres. Mr. Krueger stated that obtaining a mortgage would be the problem. The Council asked whether Mr. Krueger had denied the city administrator access to his building, and Mr. Krueger stated that he had, and that Mr. Huber should have made an appointment to inspect the site. Mr. Krueger stated that he owns a manufacturing business (farm toys) in Becker, Minnesota, and that he uses his pole building in Hugo to store merchandise related to his Becker business. At 7:25 PM, Councilman McAllister requested that Mr. Krueger accompany him and Ron Otk%in to the pole building site to make an inspection. Upon returning at 7:50 PM, the meeting was reconvened when i was learned that Mr. Krueger did not have his keys with him to gain entrance to the building. Mayor Atkinson stated that he was willing to consider a short extension to the building permit requirement only after assurance that Mr. Krueger is in compliance with Condition #3. Mr. Krueger stated that he would not be able to move his farm toys and related items over night, and it would take him some time to find a place to rent. It was the general consensus of the Council present that the City has been more than fair in trying to accommodate Mr. Krueger and his requests for extensions, and that the City took Mr. Krueger at His word that the building would be used for what he stated - farm related activities. After an inspection of the building in question by City staff, and assuming their are violations of the permit, the Council would proceed with revocation of Mr. k-:rueger's permit. Attorney Johnson stated that the procedure for revocation of a Special Use Permit is the same as the process for obtaining a rezoning. Atkinson made motion. Olson seconded, that the City Council refers this matter to the Planning Commission to hold a public hearing to give Stanford Krueger an opportunity to show cause why his SUP should not be revoked. The Council suggests that the public hearing be held during the regular PC meeting in March, 1990. All aye. Motion Carried.
