Borup: We'd like to reconvene our Planning and Zoning meeting, start with Public
Hearing CUP 04-002, request for a Conditional Use Permit for a temporary bank facility,
drive-thru window, in a C-C zone for Farmers and Merchants State Bank. We'd like to
open this hearing and start with the staff report.
Siddoway: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Commission. This is a request
foi• Farmers and Merchants State Bank in EI Dorado. We recently went through the
approval process for Farmers and Merchants Bank here in downtown and this is a
second site for them out at Eagle Road. The proposal is for a new bank. It's located --
trying to get the mouse -- here we go. This is Eagle Road running north and south.
And, then, Overland Road runs east and west. This is right at the intersection of
Overland and Eagle. This is an aerial photo of the same property, largely unbuilt when
this photo was taken, although some of these lots in Silverstone have since developed
around here. The proposal for a new 4,765 square foot bank building with two drive-
thi•u tellers and a third lane for adrive-up ATM. They are also proposing a temporary
bank structure while the permanent one is being built. It will sit on the south end of the
site and they have submitted two site plans. So, both of these represent the same site.
The one on the left is what will be built first for the temporary bank and I have some
representative photos of what this would look like. They would intend to operate out of
the temporary facility for no longer than 18 months while the permanent one is being
built, after which they would remove it from the site, replace it with landscaping, and
move into the permanent facility. I have on page five of the staff report shown five
special considerations that I need to briefly go through. The first is a lot line
adjustment. The proposed site for this project, similar to the Key Bank project, which is
just two lots west of here, it doesnR fill the entire site and is a portion of what was platted
in EI Dorado as Lot 9, Block 5. In anticipation of shifting the lot line, they have already
submitted a lot line adjustment to match this configuration. That lot line adjustment has
been approved by the city engineer, I did verify that, but they will not record the lot line
adjustment until they see if the Conditional Use Permit is approved through City
Council. So, we have added a condition that that lot line adjustment will need to be
recorded prior to issuance of a certificate of zoning compliance and that's already in the
conditions. The second item I wanted to point out is that temporary use. We did a
similar arrangement of a temporary bank facility for D.L. Evans Bank about one year
ago. They had requested 12 months in their faulty and we suggested giving them 18 to
give the extra time, just in case there is a lag, and so they have requested the same
amount of time that was granted to D.L. Evans Bank and we don't have a problem with
that. But we did want to place a limit on the amount of time allowed between occupancy
of the permanent structure and removal of the temporary one, so that they are not just
sitting there simultaneously for a long period of time and so we have added a condition
to address that and that is also in line with what was done for D.L. Evans Bank. Item
number three is the site plan modifications that we are requesting. If you look at the
landscape plan here, there were two items mentioned on the site plan modification.
One, the stalls along the south side of this property are 17 feet deep. You can see on
the permanent configuration that they are adjacent to landscaping and we typically do
approve that, but under the temporary bank location they have a 17 foot deep stall
adjacent to a four foot wide sidewalk and we are requesting that they increase the width

of this sidewalk to be at least seven feet to allow for the overhang. If they wanted to do
a temporary surface, like asphalt, instead of concrete, that would be acceptable and,
then, could be removed and replaced completely with landscaping at the time of the
permanent structure being occupied. This second point is the handicapped parking.
On the -- there is handicapped parking delineated for the permanent structure, but there
is none delineated on this plan for the temporary building and so we have requested
that one of these stalls be turned into a handicapped accessible parking with an
accessible route into the building and I have also noted that by doing so they will still
meet parking requirement for the site. On the landscaping, on the permanent site plan,
there is an island up here at the end of this row of parking that does not currently
contain a tree and we are asking that a tree be added. And, then, in our meeting with
the police department, they had expressed some concerns about wanting to coordinate
with the applicant about the planting adjacent to the drive-thru, so that they make sure
that it is low plantings and will have good visibility for police patrols to be able to view
the drive-thru and the ATM at all hours of the day that they would be patrolling. So, I
will let the - I don't know if the applicant's met with the police department yet. It looks
like he has, so I'll let him address that to the Commission. The final item is an
easement. Up in the upper right-hand corner of the site there is a common lot right on
the corner that contains the EI Dorado Subdivision signage. Their proposed driveways
do cross over that common lot and so we have required that an easement be put in
place that allows them to have access across that corner of the common lot and to
show a recorded easement for that location prior to the certificate of zoning compliance.
All other issues, I think, are taken care of and I will stand for any questions.
Borup: Questions from any of the Commissioners? Would the applicant like to make
their presentation?
Slocum: Good evening, Chairman, Members of the Commission. Craig Slocum with
CSHQA Architects, 250 South 5th, representing the Farmers and Merchants Bank this
evening.
Borup: I just might mention that -- I mean staff has recommended approval. You have
got the list of their recommendations. Are there any of those you have any questions or
concems with?
Slocum: We take no exception to any of those special conditions and, for the record,
we have spoke with Chief Musser regarding the police concerns regarding visibility and
are in good shape to meet those desires. Other than that, we'd just stand for any
questions.
Borup: Questions from the Commissioners?
Rohm: It looks like a good proposal and no questions.
Zaremba: If we could just have the record show that for the first time in probably history
I have no questions that haven't already been answered.
