discourage other high tech firms from locating in <br />Centennial Valley. The proposed amendments would <br />recognize the changing nature of high tech busi- <br />ness operations by specifically allowing a manu- <br />facturing component: for scientific and technical <br />products as well asc the firm's offices and their <br />research and development functions. Although this <br />can now be approved by the PUD process, staff <br />feels it unnecessary and an issue that would sur- <br />face again as the City recruits high tech firms. <br />Staff recommends tYiat the Ordinance be approved <br />and a public hearing set for these proposed <br />amendments. <br />Anderson stated that it was very clear to him that <br />today's commercial/industrial society is now <br />involving the need for a potential zone classifi- <br />cation that does not exist currently and which the <br />high tech or bio tech would need due for assembly <br />and manufacturing on site. Anderson stated that <br />this an appropriate amendment to attract this type <br />of industry to Louisville. <br />Mohr moved that Ordinance #925 be placed out for <br />publication and a public hearing set for February <br />17, 1987. Scarpella seconded. Unanimous. <br />DISCUSSION/DIRECTION - LOUISVILLE <br />WATER TANK Hundley explained that in December 1986, Council <br />discussed with staff the construction of an <br />elevated storage tank at the City owned Howard <br />Berry site just south of U.S. 36. One of <br />Council's goals was to ensure an adequate supply <br />for the City of Louiisville's residents and <br />business firms. Staff, with the assistance of <br />consulting engineers, have been exploring both the <br />elevated water tank: and alternative storage tank <br />designs with a goal of developing the most cost <br />effective alternative to meet the City's treated <br />water storage needs;. Public Works Director, Tom <br />Phare, identified the possibility of an at-grade <br />storage tank located on land sufficiently high <br />enough to accomplish the same purpose as an <br />elevated storage tank. Hundley stated that Phare <br />will present the alternatives for Council discus- <br />sion and direction on how to proceed on this <br />important issue. <br />Phare showed three sites identified as being high <br />enough for an at-grade tank. According to Phare, <br />the best site is located south of Marshall Lake <br />and south of Marshall Landfill and is located <br />close to a public right-of-way to provide ready <br />access for pipeline that would be installed to <br />connect into the distribution system.
