� � � � � August 6, 1969 CAS E NO: APPLICANT: LOCATION: ACTION REQUESTED: � � 531-69 Mid America Bancorporation Northeast corner of Fairvi�w Avenue and County Road B-2 Approval of Variances to Setback PLANNING CONSIDERATiONS: 1. The property in question is zoned Shopping Center Districtv�hich provides for a 100 foot setback when contiguous to th� �ing�e family zone as is the cs�se here. The property is proposed tcr be u:;ed fo� a nFw bank structure for which a charter has recently been appr��•ed by the eontroller of �he currency. The bank is a permitted use in th�� shopping cen�er district, but the appl icant requests the approval of the vciriances so as to be able to construct the building o� the site. 2. The applicant prop�ses to locate the building 80 feet from the north property line which is a rear lot line of homes fronting on Bruc,� Avenue to the north. The structure would be 30 feet from Fairviow f►venue ond some 80 feet from the nearest point on County Road B-2. Thus, most of the traffic ingress and egress is oriented toward the shopping center with the corner being developed p�imarily for landscaping. The building as located should function wel I as a gateway to the shopping center, with a considerable area on the corner left open for purposes of I ine of si:ght for traffic at the intersection. 3. The applicant proposes to retain 10 feet of screening along the north side contiguous to the driveways leading �a the drive-up teller window units. Four of such tel ler units are proposed the nearest of which would be 40 feet ��om the property line to the north. All the proposed sefbacks with respect to parking and buildings conform to or exceed the requirements of the normal B-1, B-2 or B-3 district. The most important question is that of the handl ing af the 10 feet contiguous to the si ngl e fami I y homes on the north side. Here we suggest the commission and council make certain that adequate screen is provided as required in the ordinance so as to protect the environment to the single family homes to the r�orth.
