TO: <br />Board of County <br />Commissioners <br />DATE: May 1, 1987 <br />SUBJECT: <br />FILE: <br />Amendment to IL, Light <br />Industrial Zone <br />. FROM: Carolyn K. Egge C REFERENCES: <br />Commissioner <br />Recently we amended the IL, Light Industrial Zone, to <br />include stone, clay, glass and concrete products. <br />I am working with a group that would like to start an <br />injection molding business here in town.

What they are looking at is not the businesses <br />that would disturb the environment, but those that are very <br />carefully monitored. There would be no waste products from this, <br />and she felt perhaps there also may be some paper products we <br />haven't looked at that we might want to consider. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Wheeler, to direct the Planning Depart- <br />ment to start the amendment proposed in the above <br />memo through the process. <br />Commissioner Bowman had many concerns. If there is heat <br />involved, there wit( be odor, and she also wanted to know what <br />31 <br />LIVIAI 5 1987 <br />BOOK 68 A E 241 <br />
