?6 <br />difficult to have more than three doctors at one time. Previously, when <br />a greater number of doctors was mentioned the plans were that the off ices <br />would be used by specialists who would rotate, each using the off ice for <br />half a day. <br />Mr. Carmen asked when the Foundation became involved and what promp.ted <br />the change for the Foundation to be the primary lessee. <br />Mr. Leech stated with the Foundation as the primary lessee they would have <br />control over the type of physician in that building and it is important <br />that the physician be in an organization working with them. <br />Mr. Feneli asked if this decision was made after Council tuxned down Mr. <br />Paris' variance requeste <br />Mr. Leech said no. <br />Mr. Feneli said that althongh they say it would not be feasible for the <br />off ice to have more than three doctors, if the Hillcrest Hospital Foundation <br />would be willing to limit the space to no more than three physicians at any <br />one time. <br />Mr. Leech said their plans now are to sublease the premises to three prima.ry <br />care physicians. <br />Mr. Carmen asked if either Mr. Paris or the Hillcrest Hospital Foundation was <br />willing to stipulate there will not be more than three doctors on that <br />facility at any time. <br />Mr. Leech explained their hesitation to commit themselves to this; if three <br />doctors were present and another doctor came.in and read an x-ray there would <br />then be four doctor5. Their intent is to have three treating, primary care <br />doctors and feel it would be.impractical to put that type of limitation on it. <br />Mr. Leech said he thought the issue was regarding suff icient parking facilities <br />and the number of doctors present at one time would not necessarily influence <br />that. <br />Mrs. Bloom said they refer to the space being used by three primary doctors <br />and asked if it would be their own private practices or an emergency care <br />clinic as earlier discussions had suggested. <br />Mr. Leech said it would not be an Emergency Care Clinic. The practice would <br />be similar to those doctors whose off ices are located across from Hillcrest <br />Hospital. <br />Mr. Etzler questioned if a limitation could be made that there will be no more <br />than three doctors seeing patients at one time. <br />Mr. Leech said generally, yes. The problem is that a specialist might be <br />seeing a patient along with the treating doctor.
