OPINION OF THE BOARD

(by Mr.

Kissel)

The Highland Park Hospital Foundation

(“Hospital”)

filed

a variance petition with the Board on December

9,

1971, seeking

to attach

a twelve-unit apartment building

to the North Shore

Sanitary District sewer system tributary to the Clavey Road plant.

The apartment building is to house nursing and technical per-

sonnel already living,in other quarters at

the

Hospital.

In

order to keep such personnel

“on call”,

the

Hospital has found

it necessary to provide living quarters on the premises.

Due

to the vital role which

a hospital plays in protecting

the public health, we believe that this variance should be granted

to the petitioner.

The variance is hereby granted.

Mr. Lawton took no part in the consideration or decision of

this

case.

I, Christan L

Moffett, Clerk of the Pollution Control Board,~

certify that the Boa:d adopted the above Opinion and Order this

7

day of March,

1972, by
