497 requirements for Redwood Shores itself . He indicated staff had been inves - tigating site selection for 2z to 3 months , and had studied four locations . The selection of the site was based on the opinion that it was the best to service the area as far as water distribution was concerned , He added that Council would have the final decision when construction plans and specifica - tions were available , and before that would have a thorough review by various committees and agencies . He advised that the money had been deposited with the City by Mobil . Mr . Ron MacQuarrie , 558 Keelson asked how many residential and/or commercial units would be served . Director of Public Works responded that the proposed tank would probably be one of three planned for the area , and would depend on other connections into the City ' s water distribution system , This would provide for fire fighting requirements as well as adequate service for existing residential and commercial units , and was assumed would serve a population of approxi - mately 6 , 000 people plus the shopping center . Mr . MacQuarrie stated he would like to have a copy of the agreement , and information on extent of impact on the District tax . He stated that construction of the tank was ostensibly to lift the moratorium on new construction , and if that is the case , the tank will be further away from the existing homes . In further discussion concerning the agreements , City Attorney indicated that the second agreement was the funding agreement which historically provides for accountability . Councilman Norris stated that he would need more in- formation before he could support the agreement . Councilman Weymouth felt that the report by Director of Public Works was sufficiently thorough , and noted other safeguards such as requirement for EIR , so that it should not be necessary to take exception to a routine matter . Assistant City Manager concurred and noted that the scope of work had been outlined by the Director of Public Works , and further , that it was routine . In response to question by Vice -Mayor Henderson , he advised that the developer could not go ahead and do this on its own because of the determination administratively that all engineering is to be done through the City . Councilman Weymouth expressed his concern that the water tank installation had already been delayed for over a year because the previous developer did not have the funds , and felt that the sooner a water reservoir could be built , the better , and would be to the benefit of present residents to get started as soon as possible . Director of Public Works reviewed , in response to questions , the details of their studies with respect to proposed alternative installations . The soils studies would determine the conditions of the site , and then a decision would be made based on those studies . Councilman Norris moved to continue the matter of Soils Engineering Services - Mobil-Redwood Shores Water Storage Tank to August 27 , 1973 , seconded by Councilman Rhodes , Councilman Weymouth advised that he would oppose the 8/13/73 Reg .
