Memorandum
Approval of this resolution will allow for the construction of a one-story, 5,004 sf financial institution building with a drive-thru facility.
Petition Summary:
· The Site Plan proposes to construct a one-story, 5,004 sf financial institution building with a drive-thru facility at the rear of the building on an existing parking lot. Access to the building will be through an existing driveway that will be shared with the building to the rear.
· Associated with this request, the property owner is requesting a land division to create a new parcel; vacation of a public easement along S. State Street; and rezoning of a portion of the parent parcel from M1(Limited Industrial) to O (Office).
