r- - , - MAR 7 1994 8Q©K ca�E 335 John Stone came before the Board, representing Florida Health Facilities Corp. to review the history of the situation, noting that at the time the site plan was approved, question was raised re wastewater treatment, and they were hopeful of obtaining connection to the sanitary sewer. Since that time, efforts have been made to obtain permission to tie onto the sewer system - they have met with the City staff, the County staff, the Hospital Board, etc., but at this point they have been unable to arrive at any definitive solution. Mr. Stone, therefore, felt it was appropriate to start things up again in an orderly fashion to seek an overall solution. He emphasized that for them to connect to the existing waste treatment facilities rather than install a package plant would be to everyone's benefit, especially since there is a sewer line in the vicinity of the facility. - Mr. Stone then quoted figures from the Lloyd Report of 1983 in regard to usage of wastewater allocation, which demonstrate that a large percentage is not being utilized. He stressed that although the various entities assure them that all of the available gallons per day have been allocated, the point is that not all of this allocation is being utilized, and Florida Health Facilities is not asking for a permanent connection. Mr. Stone continued to emphasize that it is only good planning and an orderly process to make full use of the facilities that presently exist, and those facilities, since 1973, have not even come close to their planned capacity. He felt that Resolution 80-92, adopted by the County in September of 1980, reducing the Hospital's allocation from 500,000 gpd to 400,000 gpd and stating that any difference between the Hospital's actual need and the 400,000 gpd should be made available to the County for reallocation, clearly expressed the County's intent. 58 I
