through the facility and is evaluating the feasibility of such
access. He stated that if this matter could be workEd out, the
hospital would be pleased to do so.
Mr. Leszczynski raised the matter of parking spaces being lost
and the hospital then not being in compliance with City codes.

number of required parking spaces. He stated that according -

required, the hospital is required to provide 990 pa king
spaces but is currently exceeding this requirement b3 pro-
viding 1,125 spaces. He further stated that they wa t to
provide as many off-street parking spaces as possiblE. He
further stated that 120 parking spaces will be lost by the
expansion project. If necessary, unimproved proper t would
