Any other questions? We can certainly bring Miss Beckham back if you have more questions to ask her. DAVENPORT: In Mallard Hcad, who is the petitioner? BECKHAM: Duane Lewis. DAVENPORT: Mr. Lewis, do you want to make an opening statement? LEWIS: I will be very brief. DAVENPORT: Make an opening statement and then go ahead and present your case, if you'd like. If you want to, ask Miss Beckham any questions you have. Make your statement first. LEWIS: I am a little nervous when I get started. My voice cracks a bit. This is a letter I wrote today to the county commissioners. It is addressed to the chairman of the board. We are requesting reaffirmation of the modifications to allow placement of a waste treatment facility in the approved planned residential district. My remarks edited and attached from the June 4, 1985 minutes of the Iredell County Board of Commissioners is hereby offered as true and correct and serve as a basis for this current situation. This is Pages 47-60. I had nothing to change in those. What I've done is that I have edited. There were some things that were in there unclear and of course it drew attention to my public sneaking also. But then also I wanted to say that we, as developers, have contrac- ted with Mid -South Utilities, a licensed North Carolina utility, to design, construct, and operate the water and se>aer systems for the developer. Also the developers have peti- tioned and have been granted a franchise by the North Carolina Utilities Commission. Only after all obstacles were overcome and a public hearing in Raleigh on June 25, 1985 (not clear) a certificate of public convenience and necessity. And also the developers have obtained a draft permit design of (not clear) and collection facility from the Division of Environmental Management, N. C. Department of Natural Resources and Community Development. The permit number is N. C. 006181. The developers are complying to the laws of the State of North Carolina and regulations of Iredell County. At this time, time is of the essence, and a delay even one more day, puts a hardship on the shoulders of the developers and creates some distrust in the Iredell County system. Also on June 1, 1^85 the Iredell County Board of Commissioners approved the subject request, therefore a recordable plat showing the location of the waste treatment facility has been completed and made available for signature by the board chairman. It is hereby requested that final approval be accomplished at this time. That's all I have to say. DAVENPORT: Does everybody up here have a copy of those minutes? CLERK: They were sent out in draft form. That's the minutes from the June 4th mccLing. DAVENPORT: Have you got all the witnesses that you had here at that time? LEWIS: I believe so. DAVENPORT: Well, why don't you go ahead and proceed and make the same case you did at that time? I don't want to (not clear) a hearing that perhaps was not correct procedu- rally be reading into the record. I e.ould not want to read the incorrect record into the correct cord and then have it challenged because originally it wasn't done correctly. So let's, if you wouldn't mind, go ahead and give us at least a fair record from (not clear). LEWIS: I'll have to get my copy back from you, sir. First of all my emphasis was on the fact that we are treating domestic sewage and nothing else. The second and I think the question which I think was important was that the waste treatment plant not interfere with the well site, demonstrated by the engineer's final plat drawings that that does not occur and there's plenty of room to handle the collection line as well as the distriubtion line of the water. DAVENPORT: Do you want to explain that more closely? What do you mean, "There's plenty of room?" Would you elaborate on that? LEWIS: Yes, we've identified the 50' easement around the well, staying out of the 100' radius, the well site. The collection lines of the sewer line. We are also showing the dist:-ibution lines coming out of the well and going up across the PRD to the two first units. DAVENPORT: You said fhe well site is uphill of the package plant? L'
