Commissioner Lyons brought up the height limitation <br />objected to in the following letter from the Executive <br />Director of Humana Hospital. <br />,r ga Hospital <br />Sebastian <br />July 11, 1984 <br />Mr. Don C. Scurlock, Jr. <br />Chairman County Commissioners <br />1840 25 Street <br />Vero Beach, Florida 32960 <br />RE: MED Medical District <br />Dear Mr. Scurlock: <br />Because of the new MED District zoning the hospital will only be able <br />to expand up above ground two floors. We therefore object to this because <br />the technology we are placing in the modern day hospital requires extreme <br />heights, floor to ceiling. <br />Our consulting architect, Wayne Estropril, advises that we need 40 feet <br />for a four floor building above ground level including four feet extra <br />for roof top machinery. <br />As a result of the ordinance, Humana Hospital Sebastian will be both <br />ground locked and air locked without the ability to expand. Our current <br />configuration will not allow us to do so. <br />We respectfully request a reconsideration of these facts before finally <br />adopting such zoning requirements. Our architects will be available <br />to you to describe this more in detail. <br />It is not equitable to allow one hospital in the county to expand to <br />nine floors and this one, which has been here ten years, only two floors. <br />Your attention to this matter will be appreciated. <br />Sincerely, <br />WWO-'&k� <br />Mitchell B. Smith <br />Executive Director <br />Commissioner Lyons noted that although he had objected to <br />the original proposal by staff where there was no height <br />limitation in the MED District, if the present 35' height <br />limitation is unworkable as claimed by Mr. Smith, he felt we <br />should ask staff to review this particular limitation and <br />find a way to make it more practical. <br />15 <br />AUG 2 2 1984 goon 58 ��,F 51 <br />
