MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: May 1, 1998 <br /> TO: Michael J. Mornson, City Manager <br /> FROM: Kim Moore-Sykes, Management Assistant <br /> ITEM• Robodyne <br /> I talked with Bill Soth about whether or not Robodyne could locate in the old Town & <br /> Country building with a conditional use permit. He said that there exist two <br /> possibilities for them to obtain a conditional use permit under the City Code. The <br /> Commercial zoning regulations allows for (ee) educational and scientific research <br /> offices without laboratory facilities. It was his opinion that what Mr. Alvite calls <br /> laboratories is not what is meant by the Ordinance. <br /> Also, Bill thought the citation regarding computer research and program development <br /> could also fit Robodyne's situation. He would like to see Robodyne apply for a <br /> conditional use permit thereby allowing the City more control over the proposed use. <br /> When I explained to him that Robodyne does do some manufacturing in the <br /> development of customer specifications, Bill maintained that he didn't consider that <br /> manufacturing; it is still researching an idea to determine if it will work. He said that <br /> the-Council may want to amend the Ordinance to make the language more clear if they <br /> are not comfortable with the language as it currently exists. <br /> I met with Mr. Alvite this afternoon and he said he is willing to meet with the Council <br /> and the Planning Commission again to answer other questions or concerns that they <br /> have. So, their request will not be on the May Planning Commission agenda. <br />
