The proximity of the park lands, the transfer trackage. and the <br />historic value to the ar~a, all blend in creating a focal interest on this site. <br /> <br />The major change in this district would be the moving "fttteasphaltplant. This <br />would be accomplished through the tax increment ftnanc1ngplan with the relocation <br />site to be approximately 1.0 acres of the Hi llerpropertyacross the tracks from <br />the rendering plant. This site has poor subsoil conditions,butmuthof the <br />aspha ltplant needs are for ground level stockpl1e storage, not necessarily <br />requiring solid ground conditions. The entrance road would be ale>n9side the <br />tracks to the West. This move could be accOOIplished during the cold weather <br />months, thus minimizing any business interruption. . <br /> <br />For the 4 acres of the Miller property adjacent to the asphalt plant. we are <br />". suggesting a Resource Recovery plant. This plant would effectively incinerate <br />all of New Brighton Waste and create steam for adjacent industries to utilize <br />for~processingor heat. . <br />. . <br /> <br />The front 4 acres would be available for development. pOSsible a new hardware <br />store, or a proPlinegas sale outlet, whatever is practical. <br /> <br />This then leaves the industrial site of the present Walburn ltd. property. <br />available for a development as the City desires. This could be one large tract <br />for a Corporate Headquarters, or sized into five or s'ix smaller light 1ndustrhl <br />tracts, or even turned into a complete historic site combined with the Minnesota <br />Transportation Museum plan. maybe a restaurant of the old Stockyard Hotel them~j <br />and a complete historic town shopping mall to tie the two together. The <br />possiblities are rnany, with the entire area north of Old Highway 8 being made <br />available for development. <br /> <br />Although this is very brief , we hope. it is complete enough to stimulate your <br />interest. Weare more than willing to assist in anyway possible in the creation <br />of this Development District Ind the ultimate improvement of this area. We <br />urge you to create this district at this time. <br /> <br />" <br />) <br /> <br />./ <br /> <br />) <br />/ <br /> <br />,/.-.,.,. <br />I --- I'" <br />f )', <br />" i . <br />\.: _, . / .>/ (---,~'_L,-. . <br />wAi..Bll~N LTD/SY ~Rf~:n::.ury <br /> <br /> <br />.' . ,~ ',.', <br /> <br />
