09-12-17 BOA Minutes September 12, 2017 Page 2 of 16 associated with the drive-through itself are minimal and there is adequate stacking distance to prevent cars from backing up on Forsyth Boulevard. The City’s Off-Street Parking and Loading Regulations require establishments with two or more drive-through windows or lanes to provide a minimum of five stacked parking spaces per window (in this case, two drive-through lanes are proposed, and therefore 10 stacked spaces are required). The proposed drive-through has space for approximately 14 stacked parking spaces. Lighting for the drive-through is provided on the ceiling. No additional light poles are proposed. Cars using the drive-through or in line for the drive-through will be facing toward the alley. The Plan Commission, at its August 7, 2017 meeting, considered the request for the Conditional Use Permit and voted unanimously to recommend approval to the Board of Aldermen. Staff recommendation is to approve a Conditional Use Permit for Midwest Bank Centre to allow the operation of a drive-through facility, pursuant to the stipulations and conditions listed in the attached resolution. Lisa Bulczak, representative of Midwest Bank, addressed the Board explaining that the request resulted from the desire to move the teller inside of the bank for safety reasons. Mayor Sanger closed the public hearing. Alderman Winings moved to approve Resolution No. 17-16, a Conditional Use Permit for Midwest Bank Centre located at 8020 Forsyth Boulevard. Alderman Boulton seconded. The motion passed unanimously on a voice vote.

Mayor Sanger opened the public hearing and requested proof of publication. City Manager Owens reported that this is a public hearing to consider an application for a Conditional Use Permit submitted by Lisa Bulczak, representing Midwest Bank Centre, business owner/tenant, for the operation of a drive-through facility on the subject site.

The current drive-through is an existing legal non-conforming use and operates without a Conditional Use Permit. Midwest Bank Centre is proposing some renovations that include the drive-through area. The proposed changes will not significantly alter the current function or operation of the drive-through; however, alterations cause the drive-through to lose its legal non- conforming status and therefore, Midwest Bank Centre must obtain a Conditional Use Permit to bring the drive-through into compliance. The renovations to the existing drive-through include reducing the number of lanes from four to three, to include two 13-foot wide drive-through lanes and an 8-foot wide bypass lane. One drive- through lane will provide access to an existing ATM and the other drive-through lane will connect to a teller station serviced from inside the bank. The drive-through will operate during normal bank hours, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The ATM will be accessible 24 hours/day. There are no existing traffic or access issues in relation to the current drive-through. The proposed drive-through will not alter the existing traffic patterns on the site. Stacking lanes are straight with minimal curves, and an escape/bypass lane is provided. The traffic impacts

Public parking is available on South Meramec and in nearby public garages.
The applicant was unable to secure on-site parking spaces. Public parking is available on South Meramec and in nearby public garages. With regard to parking, because the restaurant is greater than 3,000-square-feet, the City’s parking regulations require off-street parking at a rate of 3 parking spaces for every 5 seats on a pro-rated basis for square footage in excess of 3,000. Based on the 7,455-square-foot restaurant with 199 seats, 71 parking spaces are required. The applicant is requesting approval of a parking waiver.
