( involved -inn, the ,finan'cing. of the project) and D r.
Chan, who will be the.medical director for the pro-
posed heepital, spoke on. behalf of the applicant.
Both stated.the proposed hospital was not
Yy a conva hospital but a. long -term psychi --
atric fa'ci.l ty.., Dr.. Chan explained the proposed
L -Type facility relates to ,eldetl people who are
.n a senile state, and have become 'mentally incom-
petent, thereby requiring more intensive supervision.
Following this d ;sclosure�, namely,, that the plans
now _ call. for an L -type facility, rather than for a
convalescent hospital as originally requested, the
P.larihing Director stated "that the type of facility
now contemplated .s not covered under the
;existing use permit and a new permit should be re-
quested. Dr,, Chan said' the proposed use differs only
from a convalescent hospital. in that the, long term
fac,liyydiscussionafollowedu`rity measures. A

of Mr McG.ivern, the Commission, elected to continue
