RE: Innovative Industries/Union Pacific South Third Annexation
There may be some questions raised at the Council meeting on Tuesday on the
Union Pacific South Third Annexation item. Some of the County residents in
the area have raised noise and air quality concerns about the Innovative
Companies operation at the adjacent Golden Meadows Industrial Park.
These concerns are not germane to the Union Pacific (UP) annexation
request. The existing building on the UP property is being used as a box
supply warehouse for the A-B brewery.
The City Development Staff and County Health Department have spoken to
Innovative Companies about their operation. According to the Natural
Resources Department, Innovative is currently in compliance with state air
quality standards.
In terms of the noise concern, we are in the process of meeting with Inno-
vative to review tb'eir operation to see how we can help. Our ability, how-
ever, to enforce noise standards lies with the Police Department.
I am enclosing a copy of Linda Hopkins' memo of April 1, 1988, for back-
ground information.

I've noted some development concerns that you may need to share with the
Council -
Council members may be contacted in the next two weeks about the pending
annexation of a parcel of UP land on Harmony and the tracks (west of
Timberline)
There was a bit of controversy at the Planning and Zoning meeting.
Neighbors are annoyed with noise and smoke from Innovative Industries and
are leary of industrial development and expansion in the industrial area
adjacent to their homes. A PUD condition was added to the annexation
and zoning - already passed by Council on 1st reading.
The condition may be moot - there is a warehouse on the site to be annexed
which will be considered a legal non -conforming use and an expansion can go
thru a planning and public review.
Because the proposed user is the box assembly, glass recycling to serve
Anheuser-Busch there is additional concern that rail traffic will increase.
Materials will be delivered by rail - there are 2 rail spurs there
but product will go to the brewery on trucks - Harmony to I-25
The neighbors (Golden Meadows and a County neighborhood) may be alerting
Council to their concerns. And the building owners - Charlie Lockman
and Arlo Deines may also contact the Council.
Council is scheduled to hear the item April 19.
thanks.
Linda
