1918 LLC has requested annexation for land and for industrial revenue bonds and tax phase-in for the construction of a 320,000 square foot beef processing and packaging production facility on approximately 60 acres of a 138 acre site located near the northwest corner of 167th Street & 169 Highways.
The Applicant requests a 10-year, 50% property tax phase-in in conjunction with the issuance of the City’s industrial revenue bonds. This project is applying for and falls under the City’s tax abatement policy (Policy F-5, Resolution 22-1080).
The single series of bonds for the project is requesting $257,000,000 in industrial revenue bonds for the construction of a 320,000 square foot beef production facility on 60 acres of land. This facility would use sustainable design solutions and provide the application with reliability and flexibility in raw material storage and finished production handling systems.
The facility is projected to create 2.7 Million Gallons of sewage per month. The facility will also use over 7 million gallons of water per month.
We as residents of Nottington Creek Homeowners Association stand against this proposal because this is our backyard. The city has already encroached on the residential area by allowing warehouses across the road from our 175th St entrance. An industrial meat packing facility near our neighborhood is likely to increase traffic, create foul odors, impact our utility usage, and reduce home values.
edit: this will not be a kill site and we have been assured there will not be an odor.

This is a residential area. It is where we live. Our taxes have increased considerably, yet the more warehouses that get built near us, the less our property is really worth, both from a financial standpoint and an emotional standpoint. DO NOT APPROVE.
This proposed facility would sit directly across from the Lone Elm Park which has excellent sports facilities for youth and adult programs. There has been no discussion of increased traffic due to transportation of cattle to be processed and finished product. Odor of the holding pens and the facility as well as water and sewage utilization. All of these issues need to be addressed.
I respectfully request that the city planning commission debt this requested annexation and land use request as it will make an already congested traffic flow in this area so much worse. It will also diminish future residential development in the area. There is already enough commercial development going on.
We need more housing and some shopping in this area. Not warehouses and pollution from truck traffic. I would like the EPA to do a study in our neighborhoods to see how bad the air quality is.
If the city of Olathe plans on allowing this meat plant to be passed, I'm expecting that my real estate taxed need to drop by 5K a year to put up with that nausiating smell. I have a friend that lives in Greeley Colorado that is 10 miles from a processing plant and it stinks everyday outside of his house. We don't want it or care to have it anywhere in the city limits of Olathe.
I just do not believe the claims that there will be no odor.
Please don't surround our neighborhood with commercial warehouses or meat packing plants! What if it was going in your neighborhood? I know you wouldn't want it either!

I do not want a meat packing facility that close to my home. Not only will our home values go down, there are also the health concerns, noise pollution and the aesthetics of such a facility. I do not support this!
