Conditional Use Permit
The applicant respectfully requests a conditional use permit for a bank with drive-thru use on the two parcels. The bank
and drive thru are located on the eastern parcel with Eagle Road frontage (3182) and the parking and drive isle is on the
western parcel (3146), closest to the residential zoned property.
The properties are immediately north of the recently constructed Albertsons anchored shopping center. The two
parcels to the north of the bank site are zoned C-C and will gain access through this bank site. The property to the west
is zoned R-8 but is currently vacant land.
The existing homes to the north are approximately 400' away. The closest existing residential is to the southeast,
approximately 300' across Eagle Road.
Access to the site is via Mount Etna Drive. The existing approach is proposed to be relocated approximately 84 feet to
the west. The relocated driveway is further away from Eagle Road which will provide safer turn movements.
The existing utility stubs to the parcels are located within easements and will be utilized or capped if not needed.
The site has been designed with ample parking, drive-thru stacking, and an escape lane. The drive thru lane it situated
on the north side of the bank to minimize impact to existing and future residential uses.

Development Agreement Modification
The commercial portions of the project that are subject to the above referenced Development Agreement were sold by
ABS ID-O, LLC to BDC Meridian I, LLC and BDC Meridian II, LLC. BDC Meridian is a subsidiary of Browman Development
company, Inc and Browman Development Company, Inc is the General Partner for BDC Meridian.
The Exhibit A Site Plan parcels which were referenced as Block 2 (comprising of 2 Acres) within the Development
Agreement are laid out as 4 parcels and 20,000 sq. ft of non-traditional retail users. We are requesting to modify the DA
to reflect the change in ownership and change the layout of the parcels to include a bank with a drive through ATM and
a retail tenant building with a drive through use. Instead of the property laying out with 4 buildings comprising of
20,000 sq.ft., the property is proposed to layout with 2 buildings (3,320 sq. ft. bank with drive through ATM and a 4,900
sq.ft. multi-tenant commercial building with a drive-through or a 7,600 sq. ft. multi-tenant commercial building without
a drive through) with a maximum total square footage of 11,000 sq.ft. of retail/commercial uses, a reduction of more
than 9,000 sq. ft. of allowable buildable area. All uses and standards will be consistent with the existing and underlying
C-C Zoning.
The property is bounded on the North and West side by undeveloped residentially zoned land. We have paid special
attention to providing pedestrian connectivity from the future residential subdivision through our 25' landscape side and
back setback. We have carefully selected a pedestrian connection point to the future residential that will provide access
and sidewalk connection our proposed development and continue to both Mt. Etna and Eagle Roads. These connection
points are important to provide connectivity and community through the variety of uses.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Sincerely,
A�
