Comment 

Valmont Butte is a group of parcels of over 100 acres, with address at 3000 63rd Street, just south of Valmont Road, east of Butte Mill Road and north of the Valmont power plant lake. It is owned by the City and is in Area III, but is not in the Planning Reserve. Because the Council recently abandoned its proposed uses of this parcel for a fire training center and bio-solids composting facility in the face of opposition to such industrial uses, we feel that it would be completely inappropriate for the Council to then pursue annexation for private sale for similar uses without a citizen vote. The City staff memo of March 20, 2006 indicates that the City is pursuing a sale that would have the property stay unincorporated, i.e. would not be annexed to the City. If this occurs, presumably it would develop in the County (or possibly be preserved), which would eliminate it from any requirement for a vote.
