DAVENPORT: I'm wondering if Mr. Hollan is going to be able to follow 2long in this. BRYAN: It's page 20. HOLLAN: I have a copy here. I don't see anything in those remarks that was inconsistent with my remark that I had developed a project that was served by a package treatment plant within the last year or, and let me modify that to say maybe 18 months, but prior to that time i had not built a project that was served with a sewage treatment plant. BRYAN: What I'm getting at is I guess this has been going on now for approximately two years, it seems three, I'm not sure. And the only time that package plants were mentioned in the Heronwood project was in the very beginning, at which time, the commissioners, due to the objections to it, requested that you not use a package plant. And you said, as I recall, that you would not, you would use septic tanks. And all we have talked about for the past year and a half has been septic tanks. Now I was just curious as to why, at this late date, you would come to the decision after telling the previous board of commissioners septic tanks would work fine on that land, why now, all of a sudden, you have come to the decision that they won't work. HOLLAN: Number 1, let me explain the last part first. I've not come to the conclusion that they won't work. I've come to the conclusion that there is a better solution, which is sewage treatment plant for all of the reasons which I alluded to above. We, in the same lengthy transcript which you quote, page 12, I said, "our above -ground sewage treatment facility will be buffered as required in Section 41.6 of the ordinance." That's according to this transcript, those are my words at that me^ting on January 12, 1983, at 10:40 a.m. BRYAN: That January 3, 1984, that date is incorrect. HOLLAN: All right. I know that the findings of fact by the board included a reference to those comments that I made at that time. That the summary by Miss Beckham included reference to any above -ground sewage treatment facility will be buffered. Now there was specific questioning about the proposed nitrofi- cation fields. We have proposed, we did propose, nitrofication fields for the area upon the hill, and we said in the same way that we say now that the sewage treatment will be built according to state standards, we said that the nitrofication fields, if developed, would be built according to the state standards, which would require the set-aside of 100% additional area for repairs. That's as I tried to describe above. I also, somewhere in here, I believe, and I will quote it if I have to. I hope I say and have said on every occasion I've had an opportunity to is that my primary commitment to you would be to do the best job of development that we knew how to do, that as, this is on page 21, we certainly expect that we may find ways to improve the plan. When we do we want to come back and make those improvements rather than go with something that we know is less than this. They couldn't get some of my cnmments there, but basically we did not want to go with a second-class plan if we had a better plan. And that has to do with location of parking lots, with location of buildings with preservation of existing features of topography. BRYAN: Excuse me, you did say that. But the sentence above that, you said that during the course of this zoning process we have done the best we could to insure that we had suitable water supply and that we did have areas that were suitable to take care of the nitrofication fields for the septic tanks. HOLLAN: That's correct. BRYAN: I want the record to reflect that during the majority of the testimony of the previous hearing, it was confined to septic tanks. There were two allusions, two references, to above -ground buffer zones, one by Lisa, as he says, but let us know forget that this ordinance was written for the entire county, not just for the lake. In some areas, above -ground might be more suitable. I have no further questions. HOLLAN: I'd just like the record to reflect what is in the record. DAVENPORT: The record will reflect what's in the record. And you'll have an opportunity to read any statements either way when you feel like it. Do you have any further questions, board members, of Mr. Hollan? MILLS: I'd like to as!: him a question. Does the question have to be to Mr. Hollan? DAVENPORT: It s'iould be to Mr. Hollan. He's the one that is testifying. MILLS: No question. ' HEDRICK: Or Mr. 'falser, I assume? DAVENPORT: Mr. Walser is not testifying now. HEDRICK: I thought he made the opening statement.
