Proposal

The applicant proposes to demolish an existing single-story bank building (constructed in 1974) and construct a new single-story financial institution with two drive-through ATM lanes at 1414 Alton Road. The project includes a contemporary white brick and mosaic tile facade, a non-commercial art mural exceeding 100 SF requiring City Commission approval, and vehicular access exclusively from Alton Court with all Alton Road driveways removed. Two variances are requested: one to eliminate the required loading space and one to allow a detached sign of 18.3 SF where 15 SF is the maximum.

From the Letter of Intent

The applicant proposes to demolish the existing 6,007 square foot Bank of America branch originally constructed in 1974 and replace it with a new single-story, state-of-the-art bank branch consisting of 4,955 square feet and two remote drive-through lanes. The proposed design eliminates the existing wide driveway along Alton Road and relocates all vehicular access to Alton Court. The project aims to enhance pedestrian integration, improve traffic flow and safety, and modernize the bank's facilities.
