Deaconess Hospital: Mr. Don Lee and Mr. Hugo Eck of the Bozeman Deaconess Hospital appeared before the Commission to I discuss the proposed addition to the hospital. The expansion program had been presented by letter as follows: Item No. 1 - That the City of Bozeman permit the Bozeman Hospital to expand on its present site and enlarge the hospital to accommodate in excess of 200 patient beds. Enclosed is a print of the Plot Plan showing the existing hos- pital shaded in blue and the proposed addition in red. Item No.2 - In accordance with the City of Bozeman zone Requirements Chart, three off-street loading areas would be required. We request that the City consider one as being suffi- cient in view of the fact that deliveries to a hospital. rarely are made in a truck larger than a delivery type. Deliveries, in most instances, are made to a specific receiving department and dispensed by this department throughout the hospital, thus giving an administrative control which is a saving in both time and money. In addition to this off4street loading area, there would be the ambulance loading area. Item No. 3 - We ask that the City of Bozeman permit extension of the new addition to the East as follows: Please refer to the enclosed print and note the shaded cross section on the right hand side of the street. Move the sidewalk out to the curb, make the sidewalk 8' - 0" wide and le t the top four floors project over the sidewalk 4'-0". Item No.4 - Off-Street Parking: May we offer the following in accord- I ance with the City Zone Requirement Chart. Assume 200 beds: 50 parking stalls required; 1. 9 employeel bed at the prevailing 70% occupancy: 1.9 x 140 : 266 divided by 3 · 89 parking stalls required. Total parking stalls required: 139. These parking stalls will be pro- vided partially in a new parking lot (completed) at the southwest corner of North Willson and West Beall Street, which will provide 100 stalls, and a new parking lot to be installed at the northeast corner of North Tracy and West Beall Street which will provide 30 stalls. Other property owned by the hospital will be developed into a parking lot as percent of occupancy increases and the need is indicated. 475 Following a reading of the letter and examination of the accompanying plot plan it was pointed out that the indicated encroachment of the proposed building into the street area of North Tracy Avenue was subject to the approval of the City Commission while the other items in the letter of off street parking and loading facilities would be under the jurisdiction of the Board of Adjustment. The Commission, after a thorough discussion of the matter, during which Mr. Eck explained the I proposed layout, and the City Attorney questioned the legal authority of the Commission to approve such street encroachment, requested that the Architect's present alternate proposals for consideration I before taking action, to which Mr. Lee and Mr. Eck agreed.

The notice further states that if any public agency other than Federal, has an interest in the acquisition of this property, it has 20 days (from l6 January 1967) in which to file with General Service Administration a preliminary application containing specified information. Mr. Stephensen urged the Commission to immediately initiate action to acquire the subject property for a public parking lot which, he stated, his Committee believes to be a critical need at that location. The City Commission assured Mr. Stephensen that this proposition will be given serious study and instructed the City Manager to prepare a preliminary application as stipulated to be presented for its I consideration at its regular meeting next week.
