Item No. 2 (continued) JoAnn McIntosh, 232 Lowell, presented a petition of some 500 signatures of people in the community who support the appeal and approve the off-site lot. Clarisse Adams, 3699 Brandy Rock Way, volunteer at Sequoia, stated that expanded hospital service make the construction of a new parking lot essential and urged the appeal be upheld. Charles Nealis, M.D., 2950 Whipple, said that during evening and weekends, the use of the proposed parking lot should not disturb neighbors and urged approval of the off -site lot. Nathan Jones, Chief Executive Officer of Daphne Corporation and owner of the subject property with his wife Dr. Daphne Chisholm, stated that no tenants on the property have leases and all are aware it is for sale. Mr. Jones said there is no reason to believe traffic will increase, but that parking problems on the street should be reduced. Robert Roddick (see above) suggested that a deck be constructed over the present parking lot at the hospital which would be structurally adequate to support an expanded building if needed later. Mr. Roddick said that present television monitor of the lot is not effective and that glare will be from headlights, not lights on the building. Steve Rusconi, 260 Upland, commented on past decisions leading to present problems. Herman DeBie, said he would prefer that hospital employees not park on the streets and that he opposes the off -site lot because it will reduce property values.
