Box 12576 <br />New Brighton, MN 55112 <br />(612) 636-6191 <br /> <br />February 5, 1987 <br /> <br />City of New Brighton <br />803 5th Avenue N.\~. <br />Ned Brighton, Minnesota 55112 <br /> <br />Gentlemen: <br /> <br />The MacGillis and Gibbs Company would like to build a truck weigh scale. <br />The scale is an axle scdle iNhich \'veighs one axle at d tliue. we ~ feel that <br />it is very i.rnportant that legal loads leave our plant at al times. We <br />treat 40 million board feet of lumber per year. Additional y, we handle <br />raw lumber which is off-loaded from rail cars and re-loaded onto trucks. <br />OJer 3,000 truck loads of lumber are st1ipped from our yard annually. Our <br />customers are evholcsalers such as Georgia Pacific, Weyerhaeuser, Pine Wood <br />Products, API Supply l~d Ll~pert Lumber. All of these co~pili~ies a~rec that <br />a ~vei;h sco.le is a ve-r:y bportant necessity to theiY: business and to our~~. <br /> <br />We originally desired to build the scale on 5th Avenue ~vith 24 hour access. <br />Now, however, due to concerns raised by the City Planner and others we have <br />withdrawn this proposal. The concerns expressed were in resard to trucks <br />bein~ backed up on 5t~ Avenue, increased truck traffic, vis~al site design <br />and non-confonnance ,vith the "Corridor Study". <br /> <br />hie have no\V decided to locate the scale inside our plant \vh.ere it ~vi11 meet <br />with our fl~v of traffic. This will elirr:inate the concern of trucks waiting <br />on the street. The scale evill be used pri'Tlarily for cur daily business and <br />should therefor not create increased truck traffic. Concern over the visual <br />site will be eliminated due to the fact that the scale ~vill not be visible <br />from the street. Lastly, as far as the "Corridor Study" is concerned, the <br />scale being only an axle scale is easily moved. Should The ~acGillis and <br />Gibbs Company ,vish to relocate, the scale w~Jld he moved to the new location. <br /> <br />Plans are <br />in 1987. <br />re-siding <br />cation of <br />to reduce <br /> <br />being made for several improvements to our property to be completed <br />These would include extending our fence to the North property line, <br />the large storage barn which is visible from the street and appli- <br />a special oil, MPCA approved, on heavily travelled areas in the yard <br />dust. <br /> <br />This sh0uld address any concerns you may have had regarding our proposal. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />(( (- :R~- <br />A.
