I-lospital known as 18 East Hamilton Avenue in P-F (Public Facilities)
P-0 (Professional Office) and R-1 (Single Family) Zoning
Districts.
Chairman Dickson asked Mr. Kee for his comments.
Mr. Kee stated that the Commission granted a Use Permit to Mr. Burke and the
Campbell Community Hospital to allow construction of a medical-dental building
on property known as 18 East Hamilton Avenue. Parking for this development
was to be provided rnfour parcels located on Esther Avenue, 401,409, 419 and 431.
A condition of the use permit provided that the use permit would expire within
one year if the use permit had not been effectuated. It has been indicated to
staff by owners of properties at 401,409 and 319 Esther Avenue that their properties
are no longer available to the hospital. Staff is of the opinion that the use permit
should be revoked rather than allowed to expire in eight and a half months.
Chairman Dickson asked if anyone wished to be heard for or against the revocation
of the use permit.
Mr. Robert Sobrano, 309 Esther Avenue, stated that the hospital has purchased the
home at 431 Esther Avenue and he asked if it was known what the hospital intends
to do with the home on that lot.
Mr. Kee advised that they could not use the house for any other purpose than
residential until they had approval from the Planning Commission. There has
been no application or plans submitted to the Planning office.
Mr. Mesick, Administrator of Campbell Community Hospital, stated that the hospital
has purchased Lot 24, and it is their intention to use it for additional parking.
They did intend to purchase the other three lots, however, their plans have not
materialized at this time. At the present time, the other three lots are not
available to the hospital.
Mr. Kee advised that the use permit includes these three lots, and if they are
not available at this time, the use permit cannot be effectuated. Therefore,
staff is recommending that the use permit be revoked.
Commissioner Hebard moved that the public hearing be closed, seconded by
Commissioner Pack and unanimously adopted.

of the property. This item was continued at the May 17 meeting and there has been
no additional information with regard to the site. For this reason, staff is
recommending the continuance one more time.
