<br />3~ <br /> <br />'l'lJBSDAY <br /> <br />JiJLY 25. 1961 <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />this property. Hould they in tt:.rn erect v,ri th Dublic funds a doctors I <br />office building in competition ',lith buildings which should be er8cted <br />by priv-ate funds? Hhat are the future physical needs of tbis hospital? <br />Has the Planning Commission or the hospital evidence to support how <br />many additional beds \.TUl be ne()ded in 1070, or 1980, or the year 2:)00: <br />EOH many additional beds would be needed for a population of 25,000 or <br />.30,000 or even 50,000 in the city of !vlm'tinsville? I Hould further <br />ask if this property is needed for actual physical expansion of the <br />hospital itself, or b it proposed as additional parkinc facilities? <br />Should it be required merely a:; :oarking facilities, is there not available <br />space 'di thin the l~OO-foot requirement of your zoning lavrs vrhich would <br />satisfy this need of the hosnit2.1? In your hospital vrithout the presence <br />of intern::; or resident staf , it is, to me, more :Urlportant to have the <br />physician near b~;r where he is L'TlI,lCdiately a'lailable for an emer[oncy <br />than to provide parking for employees anc5 visitors in such proxi.mity. <br /> <br />In 00 nelusion, I believe that the community medical needs i.JiII best <br />be served by the proposed medical facilities and I respectfully request <br />the necessary re-zoning. <br /> <br />Respectfully, <br /> <br />Bate C. Toms, Jr., H. D. <br /> <br />113.y 16, 1961 <br /> <br />}1r. Leon GloiJrnan, Chajrman <br />Planning Conunission, <br />Ivhrtin:Jville, Virginia. <br /> <br />Dear rvh~.
