MINi7TES CITY COUNCIL JULY 13~ 1994 Pedersen asked what types of goods the business hauled. Anderson replied that D& T Trucking has many clients and hauls a wide variety of goods. The business is currently located in New Brighton. Bob Dolle, owner of D& T Trucking, reported that they are looking to relocate the business for two reasons. First, D& T Trucking has outgrown its current location and, secondly, they are located in the middle of a redevelopment district in New Brighton. They currently have six acres in the middle of a twenty acre redevelopment district. The proposal is to redevelop the area with office/warehouse development. Dolle reported that D& T Trucking does not own tractors, but hires independent contractors to haul their trailers. The repair facility would be used for the repair of trailers. Tractors would only be repaired on an emergency basis. Dolle reported that D& T Trucking has been in business since 1961. Morelan asked if the vast majority of the property would be paved. Dolle replied that all parking areas would be paved. Scalze pointed out that trucking companies do not seem to fit in redevelopment districts, and asked if that was typical. The Planner replied that trucking companies generate a lot of traffic and potentially there are higher and better uses of a property. Also, the amount out outdoor storage required may not fit in a particular redevelopment district. Scalze pointed out that Roseville has spent a lot of time and energy upgrading those types of areas. Scalze was a little concerned that this development might be a step backward rather than forward. Anderson described the building pointing out that it will be the corporate office headquarters for the firm. There will not be a constant turn over of trucks at the site, some of the trailers never returning to the site for months at a time. Trailers will be stored at the site either when they are not in use or in need of 18
