that there is no smell involved because the process of breaking down the kernel of corn <br /> and pulling out the starch is where the smell comes in and that is done at National Starch <br /> before it reaches this facility. Thomas White, also of Rosewood Drive was concerned <br /> about their property value being negatively affected. He also wanted to know if the plant <br /> would be operating twenty-four hours a day. Brian Willhoite stated that they would be <br /> operating twenty-four hours a day,however the truck traffic will not be going on around <br /> the clock. Mr.White was also concerned with the increase of truck noise and lights. He <br /> thought the plant should go in the industrial park across the highway. Jayne Moore of <br /> Rosewood Drive read the definition of an 1-2 zoning, and stated that she thought they <br /> could end up with something much worse than this if it were to be zoned I-1. Ross <br /> Holloway stated that there would be landscape mounding to serve as a buffer and the <br /> plant would be connected to city water and sewers. Jerry Strawder asked how many <br /> employees they would have. Brian Willhoite stated that the first year they will employ <br /> around 30 people and after their expansions are done they would have around 100 <br /> employees. Mr. Willhoite said that a man named Bill Moore started the company around <br /> fifteen years ago, they currently have a facility in Hammond, Indiana and they really do <br /> put the well being of their employees first. He told the members of the audience that they <br /> will find PacMoore to be a good neighbor. He stated that they want this plant to be their <br /> "showpiece"for bringing representatives from companies such as Kraft and General <br /> Mills to. Commissioner Williamson asked if there would be any cooking or furnaces <br /> involved in the process and what the slopes on the retention pond will be. Mr. Willhoite <br /> said the only thing they will be heating is water to clean the facility. Ross Holloway said <br /> the slopes have not been determined yet,however because this is a food processing <br /> • facility it will be completely secured by a fence and every gate will be monitored. The <br /> retention pond will be inside the fence. This is part of Homeland Security. The truck <br /> traffic will not back up onto the highway. They will line up on the frontage road,which <br /> will also be the access to the Fields property. <br /> A motion to favorably recommend the rezone from Ag to I-2 to the Town Council was <br /> made by Commissioner Williamson, second by Commissioner Logan. Motion carried 6- <br /> 0. <br /> The next item on the Agenda was Holloway Engineering representing John Heshelman <br /> for a 3-lot minor plat off of the cul-de-sac of Keller Dr., on the east side of Bingham <br /> Road. This property lies behind Keller's first subdivision. Keller Drive is a public street <br /> and the cul-de-sac already extends into the property. Lot 1 is approximately 2.9 acres, <br /> Lot 2 is 2 acres and Lot 3 is approximately 2 acres. The septic fields for each lot meet <br /> the requirements of the septic ordinance. The access road is a paved drive and will be <br /> maintained by Lots 1,2 and 3. Commissioner Brown asked if this property had city water <br /> available. Ross did not know if Hill Water had a main on Bingham or not but said that <br /> with a fifty foot wide utility easement there would be plenty of room to run water lines <br /> down to the property if water is available. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Ehrhart, second by Commissioner Corbin to <br /> approve the three-lot minor plat. Motion carried 6-0. <br /> • <br />
