Report re Redwood Shores Water Reservoir City Manager Fales referred to his report of January 23, 1975 regarding the proposed construction of initial Redwood Shores Water Reservoir, attaching report of January 17 of the Director of Public Works. Director of Public Works Pusich referred to slides de- picting Alternate A--at grade and Alternate B--depressed and displayed artists sketches of both plans with land- scaping. Mr. Pusich commented and replied to questions concerning the desirability of each alternate with re- gard to economics and general visibility; the anticipated development of all required water tanks; the probable locations of the needed tanks and the alternatives available; and the land to be available for parks and open space in each alternate. Mr. Fales commented and replied to questions concerning the status of the City' s application to the Army Corps Engineers for a permit to construct a water tank at the Spar Drive site. Mr. Fales also advised that the design and landscaping of the proposed water tank will come before the Council for decision later, observing that it is presumed that Council has assumed jurisdiction in the matter because of previous Council action. In response to question, he stated that since the Council has assumed jurisdic- tion, the matter would not go to the Architectural Re- view Board, unless such review was ordered by Council. Clay Shank, President, Redwood Shores Homeowners Associ- ation, called attention to his letter of January 2, 1975 directed to Director of Public Works Pusich (copy of which was attached to the Manager' s report) indicating he favors a reservoir at grade (Alternate A) . Mr. Shank now expressed reservations about that alternate and in- quired regarding placement of berms and landscaping in each design. Mr. Pusich again referred to the slides of each alternate and explained the placement of berms as shown in the rough drawing of each site, and the de- sirability of providing sight lines which will tend to minimize the view of the water tank. Discussion continued concerning the use of the area sur- rounding the water tank as park and open space land; the need for adequate fencing to discourage vandalism; whether an alternate should be selected because of -3- '` Re-.Mtg. 1, 7/75
