In response to Alderman Berkowitz’s questions, Mr. Naylor confirmed that the structure is a single story. With regard to the current location at 8100 Maryland, Mr. Naylor stated that he is not aware of any plans for the lobby, but is aware that the bank will maintain office space at that location. In response to Alderman Garnholz’s question with regard to the hours, City Manager Owens explained the terms of the Conditional Use Permit. In response to Mayor Sanger’s question, Mr. Naylor stated that banking services have changed significantly over the years and that the bank will have a few tellers available to help/direct customers with their business and that there will be video “tellers” in the lobby of the bank. Alderman Boulton added that there is also a special (private) room where the customer can securely access an ATM after hours. Mayor Sanger closed the public hearing.

The proposed access point for the drive-through is located deep in the lot, away from the intersection with Maryland Avenue. Stacking lanes are straight with minimal curves, and provide an escape/bypass lane. According to the study, the traffic impacts associated with the drive- through itself are minimal, and there is adequate stacking distance to prevent cars from backing up on Lancaster Drive. A noise study was also conducted in 2013 for the original 5/3 Bank proposal to assess the acoustical impact of the proposed drive-through speakers. The drive-through facility for Regions Bank does not include speakers. Because the drive-through lanes are oriented parallel to Maryland Avenue, vehicular headlights will be directed away from the adjacent residential properties. Lighting on the drive-through structure itself is limited to four LED down lighting fixtures located underneath the drive-through canopy. Five 15-feet in height pole lights are proposed adjacent to the drive-through. All proposed lights are LED with internal shields, channeling the light toward the drive-through and parking areas and not the residential lots to the north.

At the same meeting, the Plan Commission also considered the request for the Conditional Use Permit and voted unanimously to recommend approval to the Board of Aldermen.
