SPECIAL USE PERMIT - KRUEGER/BILOTTA
Stanford Krueger and Robert Bilotta have applied to the City for a special
use permit to operate a vegetable, fruit and nursery stock area. The
property is located between 125th St. and 132nd St., east of Goodview Ave.
(adjacent to property previously used for Zap Games), and is zoned
Agriculture. The 40 acre parcel is not adjacent to any roadway and
accessible only via an easement. The main objective is provide a "Pick
your own" area for fruits and vegetables. Applicants anticipate food
preparation in the future on site and possibly recreational activities
such as hay rides, cross county skiing, etc. The existing building would
be used for stock and equipment storage. The enclosed site plan is very
general. Staff recommends the site plan include setbacks of existing
buildings and parking area prior to consideration by the City Council. We
would also recommend that any future buildings or construction on site be
approved by Amended Special Use Permit.
Chairman Peltier opened the public hearing with a letter from Kathy
Schmidt, who felt this activity could create a traffic problem and
excessive wear and tear on the gravel road. Mayor Stoltzman questioned
whether there was any intention to build a residence on site and was
concerned about the traffic.

special use permit to construct and operate a greenhouse in accordance

produce and flowers grown on site subject to the following conditions:
