N O V 14 1994 ao t:3 �F8- <br />the Health Department, which, if they had been applicable <br />originally, would not have allowed the project. <br />Commissioner Wodtke asked if you can give septic tank permit <br />approval for 24 bathrooms in a development like that. <br />Michael Galanis of Environmental Health explained that he <br />has a limitation of 5,000 gpd for the overall project, and that <br />is what he is supposed to look at - the overall project. Twenty- <br />four bedrooms (24 x 150) would fall within that limitation. Mr. <br />Galanis believed the original 1/2 acre subdivision was owned by <br />Frank Zorc, but in this particular case, the developers chose to <br />submit to him 5,000 gallon blocks under separate ownership. His <br />legal staff in Tallahassee informed him that if they take this <br />route - under separate ownership - even though they have one sign <br />out front and even though he may think of it as one development, <br />there is nothing that the law provides at this point for him to <br />stop this development going on septic tanks. When the County <br />staff came to him and said these people want to replat, he said <br />that for him the intent has been met already and how they <br />subdivide it afterwards is not his concern. Mr. Galanis stated <br />that the Board must understand that his law is structured around <br />the concept that he is never going to be looking at these kind of <br />things; all he is supposed to look at is 1/4 acre, 1/2 acre, etc. <br />He never sees the large acreage type development because they are <br />all going on treatment plants, and they go to the DER. <br />Commissioner Wodtke asked if this same practice and same <br />design is continued in this subdivision, will the developer still <br />be able to get a permit for septic tanks from Environmental <br />Health, and Mr. Galanis stated that they will if it is under <br />separate ownership. If it is one owner and if it is all one <br />large development, they must see the DER. <br />Considerable discussion ensued regarding the fact that this <br />is an after -the -fact situation, and Attorney Brandenburg agreed <br />that it is an -after -the -fact effort to comply with the County <br />Subdivision Ordinance; staff is doing what they are supposed to <br />W <br />
