Development Details The applicant is proposing the construction of a one -story pediatric Specialty Care Center. Phase I is proposed as 34,000 square feet to include pediatric subspecialty outpatient services, pediatric imaging services, pediatric ancillary and diagnostic services, and shell space for future ambulatory surgery services. Phase II is proposed to add approximately 35,000 square feet, expanding the services existing in Phase I and adding multi disciplinary pediatric clinical programs. This Children's Medical Center will not have inpatient, overnight or emergency services scheduled services only. This proposal is not a partnership or joint venture. This facility will be owned and operated by Children's Medical Center. QUESTIONS CONCERNS Will this develop reduce parking for the offices already planned to the west? o No. The architecture does not look like the French Renaissance theme that was approved for Carillon... it looks Hill Country. o We feel the colors and materials we are proposing will compliment the surrounding European architecture. How many patients do you anticipate? o About 20,000 per year in Phase I. The planned hours of operation will be Monday through Friday, 7AM to 7PM. After the expansion, volume estimates will depend on the services offered through the expansion. Where will the people come from? o People usually come from a 15 mile radius. What percentage of your current patients come from Southlake? o We estimate at least 10% at this point; this will likely increase as services increase. Won't this facility replicate Baylor Grapevine and Cook's in Ft. Worth? o Not really, Fort Worth is not easily accessible and there is very little pediatric subspecialty care being offered at Baylor Grapevine. The medical community and the community at -large have requested that Children's provide these services. Will Hine's be the landlord? o No, this is a land sale. Children's will own and operate, however, will have to adhere to the covenants set forth for Carillon. When will White Chapel get widened? o When the residential develops during the first phase. What is the anticipated traffic flow from White Chapel? o Approximately 30% of visitors will enter or exit at White Chapel. The scheduled activities will maintain orderly traffic flow. Have you talked to local physicians? o Yes, we have gotten regional input for our needs assessment. Are there other specialty locations? o Children's has similar facilities in Dallas and in Plano. The need is for more of the Specialty Care Centers throughout the region and Southlake presents the greatest need. What if you have a patient who unexpectedly requires inpatient care? Will you call 9- 1-1? o This would be a rare occurrence that would require us to transport the child. Until the Ambulatory Surgery Center is opened, we will have to call 9 -1 -1 in these very rare instances.
