(;specially .in the PLD, it ""as decided by staff to bring this project before the Board. LeBlanc explained that Mr. Jim Mikes, owner of the Tuscawilla Country Club, is fully aware of the State requirement to remove the underground tanks, and would like to build the new facility prior to the ranoval of these underground tanks in order to continue his day- to-day operations of the golf course. Hopkins questioned why the location is being changed? Mikes answered that the current location of the maintenance building was establ ished in 1973 when the course was opened. It was bui 1:t as a metal bui Iding and has since rusted at the base, therefore it would be neGessary in the next year or two to replace this structure anyway. There exists a second issue regarding the underground tanks. Since.1987 State law states that the tanks need to be registered-in use or not in use. Gulfstre~, the fonner owner of the golf course, never registered the tanks, therefore OER directed that the tanks be registered and rermved because they are abandoned. He agreed :to this and signed an agreement with DER to remove the tanks. The remoyal can only occur by removing the majority of the structure. In reviewing its present location the maintenance facility would be better suited in another location further away from the creek which is more strategic in nature. The new location that is being proposed is 500 feet away. ~~ving from the north side of the creek to the south side; and from the east side of the Florida Power easement to the west side.
