Bob Young of the hospital addressed the Commission members. He
remarked that this was phase I of the expansion project, an addition
to the West side which would house new surgery and radiology facilities.
A question came up about the way the new addition would affect the
parking. Mr. Nix said he did not think parking was a problem at this
stage of the construction. Mr. Sam Dyson addressed the Commission and
remarked that the hospital owns 20 acres of land at this site and that
they were using only 5 acres na,7, but felt sure they could do whatever
the Commission waAts as far as the parking is concerned. That the
main thing that needed to be remembered at this time, is they are
fighting a time element and need to get the construction started.
Mr. Stipes moved that we grant the permit as requested. Roy White
seconded and motion carried unanimously.
There u,,Tas a discussion by the members on what might be necessary
in the future as to widening the roads, where the traffic might
be directed, and the what the plans call for by hospital.
Meeting was duly adjourned.
