To address Val Stack and Paul Hoyer’s letter:
1. Hospital has no where to grow.
• The user of the hospital campus HCA intends to build the project in three phases over multiple years.
The 15 acre site is ideal for their entire medical campus.
2. ITD has denied their request for access to build a frontage road and the Peregrine Heights HOA will not allow
them access.
• ITD initially denied encroachment into the Chinden ROW, not access
• The 15 acre parcel is included in the Peregrine Heights Subdivision recorded plat (1995), as lot 18 block
1. The parcel has direct frontage along Serenity Lane, which is noted on the plat to have the use of
“emergency access”. We have the right per this plat for emergency access via Serenity Lane.
• “Lot 10, Block 1 (Serenity Lane), is hereby designated as a private road for the purpose of ingress-egress,
utilities and emergency vehicle access”.
3. Fire Dept says a frontage road is not required. What is required is a secondary access road via Black Cat
• City Code is requiring the frontage road not the Fire Department.
4. The Hospital will just ask for a variance request for more stories.
• The proposed site plan can’t change once approved and there is a height limit at 65’.
5. Council member Strader said to not rush the project.
• The project was submitted in April 2020. We have had three Planning and Zoning hearings and this is the
second City Council hearing. We had 4 neighborhood meetings and 3 pre-application meetings with the
City. Countless conversations with City Staff, and agencies, and multiple e-mails, phone calls, texts with
neighbors. The concerns listed above have been addressed.
6. Comp Plan says to support and protect the identity of existing residential neighborhood
• The accommodations and improvements made to the hospital plan are all primarily focused on
preserving view corridors, noise, safety, traffic and character of the adjacent County neighbors. Detailed
accommodations will be made during the CUP process.
