The lands are zoned Public Airport District which may allow this proposal as a discretionary use as a packaging, bottling, boxing plant. In fall 1999, Council approved the lease of 6 hectares (15 acres) to Dalziel Enterprises Ltd. for the proposed use. The lease conditions have been agreed to, but the final signed documents have yet to be returned to the County. The proposal is for a plant that dries and compresses the hay for the overseas market. Hay is brought to the site where its moisture content is reduced then compressed and packaged into 40-foot containers for transport. A hay processing building (80 by 263 ) surrounded by a series of three-sided 60 by 150 hay storage sheds will be located on the site. There will also be two office trailers, a weigh scale, and two storm water ponds which double as water reservoirs for fire fighting purposes. The property is located approximately 3 miles north and 2 miles west of Innisfail, immediately south of Hwy 54; therefore, approval from Alberta Infrastructure is required. Access to the site will be via an extension of the existing airport access road, which will be built to County standards by the developer. The existing airport access road will need to be widened to meet the requirements of this proposal. This widening will be at the expense of the developer. The site is located on the extreme east side of the airport lands, well away from all airport related facilities. The nature of the business should not cause any interference with the operation of the airport, hinder air traffic movements, nor pose a safety hazard to aircraft. The site, currently cultivated by the Canola Council, slopes from west to east, with an elevation change of approximately 2 metres. A drainage plan is necessary. The developer has hired EXH Engineering to complete this work which is being designed in conjunction with the road design. There is power to the airport lands; however, on-site services are required along with extensions of utility services. The local gas cooperative needs to upgrade and extend its line to the site to meet the developer s needs. Water will be via a on-site well and sewage will be via on-site disposal.
