to the attention of Andrey Brown managing editor at 941 2945 Hospital expected to OK development plans By Kathleen leming Staff Writer A top administrator for New York Hospital said riday that he expected Robert Martin Cos mam moth development plans for the property in White Plains to be approved without major changes by the governing board Dr David Thompson vice president and director of New York Hospital said he would be surprised if the Society of New York Hospital's Board of Gover nors substantially changed the plans for a office retail residential project In developing the psychiatric 218 acre grounds which is a joint venture between Robert Martin and the hospital the board will have the final decision about whether to accept or reject the plans The development scheme for a self contained community on the 218 acre site was released two weeks ago by Robert Weinberg chairman of the Elmsford development firm The scheme calls for 1800 units of multi family housing a shopping mall hotel complex more than 2 million square feet of office space and a 250 room conference center most of the buildings would sufficiently answer the current and future needs for space Under plans the oval would be exempt from development The oval would be said Kernberg minimal space necessary" to permit the hospital to carry out its programs Thompson agreed saying the oval was a substan tial section of land: not exactly turning it (the grounds) into a mid Manhattan Hospital administrators have said the 10 year development project would help generate money for a $450 million improvement program for hospital facili ties both in White Plains and Manhattan Thompson said he did not know how much of the money would go to the hospital in White Plains major portions of the Westchester and Manhattan campus would be he said Many staff and faculty members however feel that the proposed development would destroy the most valuable asset a large open space that buffers patients from the outside world and secures patient privacy The board has not yet reviewed the plan said Thompson but administrators who have seen proposal informally have supported it of us have seen the said Thompson along the line we thought it would Weinberg plans to brief the White Plains Common Council and the Planning Board on the development scheme during a public meeting Jan 16 at 7:30 pm in City Hall on Main Street Weinberg met with staff and faculty members of the hospital in a closed meeting riday morning to hear their ideas for improving the plan The 1 Vi hour meeting which Weinberg described as constructive was termed by some of the staff members attending The problem some said was that Weinberg had asked staff members to comment on details of the project when they had not accepted the necessity for development at all Weinberg plan has prompted widespread opposi tion among staff and faculty members who in varying degrees feel that development will harm the quality of patient care provided at the 322 bed psychiatric hospital or many the proposed development rep sesents a threat to the future as a leader in psychiatric treatment training and research The grounds are particularly important said Dr Mark Russakoff assistant professor of psychiatry for the many long term patients treated at the hospital would not ordinarily take your child into a shopping mall for long term said Russakoff Dr Howard Kibel also an assistant professor of psychiatry said that during the summer much of the treatment takes place on the grounds one is here for a number of months one feels as if this is home and the grounds is the front said Kibel the traffic I think people will feel comfortable sitting on their front Kibel like many of his colleagues said devel opment on a much smaller scale would be acceptable if it were distanced from the facilities Dr Richard rancis associate professor of telinical psychiatry said the design situates the build ings toward the center of the site near the hospital leaving the greatest open space along the perimeter of the site He argued that if development was necessary it should be separated from the hospital by as much open space as possible Weinberg said riday that staff suggestions to redistribute buildings and adjust building sizes would be considered as the plan is revised But Dr Otto Kernberg medical director of the hospital said riday that the 54 acre oval containing thought it (the meeting) was said Weinberg think starting on the right Accident condition satisfactory A 57 year old Port Chester woman was listed in satisfactory condition at United Hospital in Port Chester riday recovering from back injuries suf fered when she was struck by a van Tuesday Geneva Jackson of 13 Weber Drive Port Chester was struck by
