MALONE: It would be my opinion that if you pot in a collection system and a single sewage
treatment facility.
HEDRICK: Are you basing that on the projected development or the present?
MALONE: Both. I think what a sewage treatment plant, and I'm not
trying to digress too much for this, what a sewage treatment does nothing more than take a natural
process that occurs out in the lakes and out in the streams and concentrates it into a small area.
They accomplish a natural process.
HEDRICK: Do you have an opinion as to whether it would be more expensive or less expensive for
a waste treatment package facility versus a nitrofication field?
MALONE: I have not costed it out, sir. There is a number of factors that would influence
that. I think probably initially a package plant just the capital cost may be cheaper than the
septic tanks, depending on the topography, if you had to do a lot of, if the houses and the septic
tank is up here, if you had to pump through a distribution box, when you consider all the installa-
tion to the drainfield and the septic tanks, just the initial cost of the treatment plant may be
cheaper (not clear) . It may be cheaper initially, but then there is the long term operating
cost of the treatment plant.
HEDRICK: Are you familiar with the size sewage treatment that would be necessary for this
development?
MALONE: I have a projection of what it should be, approximately 250 living units. There's all

these. use 250,
some 300, 350.
I have just recently completed a study of 350 homes with monthly water (not clear) . . . for
the past five years. I looked at everything, how many bedrooms, how many toilets (not clear) . . .

WALSER: Why don't we just tender him for cross-examination or questions from you, if you
would like.
BRYAN: I have no questions.
DAVENPORT: We have a few more questions here. What provisions, if any, have been made,
timing, when do you intend to build the facility if you had a permit issued?
HOLLAN: I think the timing would depend upon the issue of the permit and we would intend to
construct as soon as reasonably possible following the issuance of all necessary permits reviewed by
the state and whatever other agencies.
DAVENPORT: Before you build more units out there?
HOLLAN: We don't know what kinds of delays we're facing in this thing. We can go, are you
saying vie need to decide either, or?
DAVENPORT: No, I'm just wondering what your intent is here, are you intending, if you had a
permit, if the board were to issue a permit tonight or next week or within the next month, what are
you going to have on package plants, what are you going to have on septic tanks? Is it going to be
a split?
HOLLAN: We intend to get all the multi -family on the package plant. We've got the single
family lots that, we have had some discussion and serious consideration of coming back at some point
and taking some of the PRD and converting it back to single family lots. This would be at the south
end of the project where it's most visible and where our neighbors have expressed most concern
about, the proximity to our project, so that some of those might be better served by an individual
septic tank. But our intention is to locate a sewage treatment plant to be available to serve all
the development.
DAVENPORT: Who will own the plant?
HOLLAN: It will probably owned by a public utility, that's our current, regulated by a public
utility, which will be Mid -South.
DAVENPORT: Anybody have any questions at all?
Mr. Bryan do you want to make your opening statement and then go ahead and proceed with your
case?
BRYAN: Could we clear up that point of order before I make my opening statement at this point
now? About the plat?
It's my belief that that plat does not accurately reflec+ the orininal plat, as far as what
' currently exists on the property. There was a me3ting on September 4, 1984, I believe, and at that
time two things happened. The board of commissioners, without going through a special use permit
hearing or variance hearing, they just did it in regular meeting, they approved the moving of
