Mr. Stevenson suggested that the hospital will be considering a vertical structure as they build
on in the future. Concerning additional parking area, he indicated that they would like to
gradually purchase the remaining residential properties in the two blocks south of the hospital,
remove the structures, and pave those areas for parking. He stated that a parking ramp would
eventually be built to the west of the hospital if it became necessary. The Council and Hospital
