Show Wednesday, February 16. 1994 Page 13 Orem hammers out compromise with residents, HealthTrust, Inc. Orem-Geneva Times by REVA BOWEN Citv Editor After an evening's work retooling re-tooling and crafting the Orem City Code with the dual purpose of accommodating a proposed HealthTrust, Inc. full-service hospital and addressing concerns of area residents about the facility's impact, the Orem City Council hammered out a surprise compromise on February 8. In a close 4-3 vote, a motion was approved which granted HTI a hospital overlay zone, but stipulated stipu-lated that 100 feet down from 1000 North would be excepted and remain within the R-l-8 (residential) zone. The action allows al-lows for a line of homes to be built in the area to serve as a buffer between the hospital and existing homes. The proposed site is on property located east of 800 West and between 800 North and 1000 North in Orem. Part of the land was zoned residential and part commercial. The compromise was suggested sug-gested by Councilman Stephen Sandstrom as a way to appease irate residents who purchased their homes and property there because of the residential desig City Council moves ahead in three areas Three resolutions were passed by the Orem City Council on February 8 as the group sought to formalize acceptance of information presented and discussed dis-cussed in previous meetings, and to move ahead with plans for the new Senior Friendship Center. Councilman Kelvin Clayton made the motion to adopt the Phase One Landscaping Plan for State Street which had been presented by city officials and landscape architect Fred Lil-jegren Lil-jegren in the February 1 meeting. meet-ing. The motion passed with u-nanimous u-nanimous approval. A motion to approve a resolution resolu-tion amending the City Council's Policies and Procedures manual to eliminate a waiting provision on all council action, but reiterating the council's option to establish effective ef-fective dates for agreements, passed.

Vote on motion Council members Sandstrom, Kelvin Clayton, Tim Christensen, and Chris Yandow voted to approve ap-prove the motion; council members mem-bers Judy Bell and Steve Heinz and Mayor Stella Welsh voted against it. Just before the vote was taken, Welsh said that she had looked at the issue carefully and felt that the earlier changes in the city code would ensure that the facility would not be "the threat" that residents seem to think it will be. "I hope the hospital could adjust if this motion passes," Welsh said. It is uncertain whether HTI will adjust. Although a definite site plan has yet to be submitted, HTI officials Hugh Johnson and John Massey had cooperated with the city in structuring changes to the city code to address citizen complaints about the proposed facility. Residents' concerns Area residents filled the council coun-cil chambers and many spoke of their concerns in the public hearing hear-ing that preceded council actions. Laurie Curt said that she is a reconsider council decisions, cast the lone "nay" vote. In subsequent council action, Bell moved to adopt a resolution approving a conditional use permit per-mit for standard land use code 7424, recreation center (general) for the new Senior Friendship Center at 93 North 400 East, in the R-l-8 (residential) zone. Mayor Welsh noted that when the city builds a building, it is required re-quired to go through the same steps that would be required of anyone else.-' All approved the motion, with the exception of Stephen Sandstrom, who abstained from discussion or voting on the item because the architectural firm he is employed by was awarded the contract for the building prior to Sandstrom's election last fall to city government office.

Curt said that in her experience, she has seen or heard of suicides inside in-side and outside of hospitals, rapes in parking lots, and thefts. She added that armed assailants, runaways, and truants have been known to hide inside hospitals. Area resident Vance Campbell said there were many questions because the hospital had no definite site plan to be considered. He argued that the further the city allows HTI to go, the harder it will be to make changes. Campbell urged the council to require HTI to submit a detailed site plan. Property owner Merrill Farley Far-ley said that he would not have given HTI the option of purchasing purchas-ing and developing the property if he did not feel comfortable with the hospital concept. He said that people who are willing to buy property and to take a chance on developing it should have the leeway to do so.

First, the council agreed to require re-quire a conditional use permit before HTI could build any facility for residential care, alcohol al-cohol and drug care, or medical research in the zone. Next, the council agreed to require re-quire council approval of any site plan submitted by HTI. Christensen Christen-sen and Welsh voted against that action, with Welsh expressing her confidence in the Planning Commission Com-mission being able to do the job, but the motion passed. A 35-foot maximum building height requirement was unanimously unani-mously approved. Residents had feared that 84-foot, seven-story buildings may have been constructed con-structed in the commercially-zoned commercially-zoned parcel. The council supported the Planning Commission recommendation recom-mendation of one parking stall per 250 square feet of gross floor area, although citizens had lobbied lob-bied for more required parking, and hospital officials had recommended recom-mended less.

Zoning issue Discussion next centered on whether or not to grant the necessary neces-sary zoning changes. Residents again argued against having such a facility in a residential area. Julie Ward presented a petition with almost 200 signatures of residents opposing the hospital being built at the proposed site. She cited impacts on traffic, safety, privacy, and children in the area, and appealed to the council to have the hospital build on commercial land. Others questioned whether the master or general plan is being followed with zoning changes chan-ges being made. "We were here first," said resident Carrie Bush-nell, Bush-nell, "under the premise that there would be single family dwellings here." HTI's Johnson defended his company, saying that they did not set out to intrude on the neighbors. neigh-bors. They looked at building east and west, in the commercially zoned area, but found they could not develop the facility that way. Some residents questioned whether Orem needs another hospital, and were joined in that ELEGANT BEADED WEDDING DRESS size 8 with fancy veil and train. $299 (paid $700).

He said he was not convinced that Orem City needs another hospital. Council deliberation When the matter was turned back to the council for deliberation, delibera-tion, Clayton said his thoughts were that it should be weighed out and a resolution reached. He said he supported Merrill Farley's personal property rights in selling his property for development. Clayton said he sees a need for a full-service hospital in Orem and sees it as a great asset. Bell said it was a hard decision for her, but that she felt the best use of the land for the majority of Orem citizens would be the hospital plan. Christensen said he had changed his mind "ten times" during the course of the evening's debate. He expressed concern for the neighbors, but on the other hand, felt that the restrictions placed on the hospital would protect residents. Sandstrom made the compromise com-promise motion, vote was taken, and it passed by the narrow 4-3 margin. March of Dimes Mothers March Bank Day held J.C. Penney's recently hosted the March of Dimes Mothers March "Bank Day" at their University Mall store.
