April 1, 1981 Park. Board Minutes. Page 2 A. Walburn Industrial Park Preliminary .Plat (Continued) There was a motion by the Board of Review Chairperson to accept the: discussion as a concept discussion only. Motion passed. Another Board of Review person stated he would like to hear from the applicant. Gunderman agreed. Dale Hebeisen of Hult and Associates, expressed his concern that with. this triangular piece of property; meeting al codes would be hard to do. There is alot of road frontage. The building setbacks are not shown on the map because it would be confusing to read. Gunderman asked what happens with Beisswenger's. Hebeisen. replied it would probably improve Beisswenger's as far as parking. A Board. of. Review member asked what the intent of plotting the parcel was. Hebeisen replied just to sell. Dick Bury .introduced himself at that time stating he is .owner of -Midwest Asphalt/Walburri. He said he is sympathetic. to the situation. He said he has owned Midwest Asphalt for 12 years. During that time he did-what he could to improve the area as a lease holder from Minnesota Transfer. Eventually Bury and two others purchased the parcel from the Railroad in a partnership. The name Walburn is a combination of the three names. He needs IO acres to operate properly. That leaves 20 acres that are developable by others. The road will have to go through the old gas station. Would get rid of the old building. Would like to keep. the storage system. The shop will be relocated. .The two small buildings will be replaced by one small building. Intend to cleanup and make as pleasant looking as possible. Have another plant in-Eden Prairie that is .well up to code. That plant ironically has the same problem. The New Brighton plant would operate 110 days of the year. November-April the plant is.non-operative. Would like to do landscaping and make as pleasant as po sible. Working with the. triangular piece is not easy. Has been told this site is the best .industrial site .Left in the Twin Cities. The reason for plotting i because alot of money is invested. #2 and #3 .can. be put up for-sale. Hope to have site plan for review. Access to park was mentioned and is not out of the question.-but the property is worth about $50,000-$60,000. Van Hatten asked if there is only one spur on property.. Bury said yes, and it will be rebuilt. Van Hatten asked if it is an asset: Bury replied yes,, definitely.
