The Board reviewed the following memo dated 5/14/84: TO: The Honorable Members DATE: May 14, 1984 FILE; of the Board of County Commissioners APPEAL OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION'S SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF HUTCHINSON UTILITIES, INC.'S WASTE- WATER TREATMENT PLANT SITE PLAN APPROVAL REQUEST FROM:Robert M. Keating, AICP FERENCES: Hutchinson Util. Planning & Development Director DIS:RMK It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of May 23, 1984. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: In September of 1983, Thomas Vaughn, Director of Operations and Security, submitted a major site plan application on behalf of Hutchinson Utilities, Inc. That plan proposed the construction of a 0.250 mgd wastewater treatment facility on a 1.3 acre site situated between St. Edward's School and the Moorings. The proposed facility is to replace the existing wastewater treat- ment plant which has insufficient capacity to service its franchise area and does not presently comply with DER regu- lations. The existing facility is located to the west of the proposed site. Upon submittal of the site plan, the staff scheduled a meeting with the applicant, representatives from St. Edwards School, and representatives of the Moorings Property Owners Asso- ciation; because of conflictF, this meeting was never held. The staff then reviewed the site plan application and notified the applicant of discrepancies with his ar,plication. Because some of the discrepancies identified by the Planning Department were significant (particularly those related to setbacks) and would substantially affect the project, the applicant chose to request a variance from certain provisions of the Zoning Code. After having been scheduled for a hearing on the variance application before the County's Board of Zoning Adjustment, the applicant withdrew his variance request. In March of 1984, the applicant submitted a revised site plan which addressed all of the discrepancies identified by the Planning Department in the initial submittal. After determin- ing that the revised plan met all applicable County regu- lations, the staff scheduled a meeting with the applicant and representatives from St. Edwards School for April 3, 1984. That meeting was held, and the legal counsel for St. Edwards School outlined the school's objection to the proposed site plan. Since the applicant had met all conditions necessary for site plan approval and requested to be heard at the next available meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission, the staff scheduled this item for action at the April 12, 1984 meeting of the Commission. In an attempt to resolve the concerns of St. Edwards School, another meeting was held on 45 MAY 2 3 1984 BOOK 57 PAGE 1.164
