The requested application type is for a Site Plan Review. The information is based on the enclosed site plans and building floor plans and elevations. GENERAL: SMW Federal Credit Union is proposing to build a new facility in lots 2 and 3 of the JADT Development at the intersection of Access Outlet and Apollo Drive. The building itself consists of three levels. The lower level, approximately 2,300 square feet, contains the mechanical room and a storage room. The main level, approximately 11,554 square feet, will be used for general credit union operations, with offices, drive -up teller, lobby, work room, waiting area, etc. The drive -up window /canopy is shown on the southeast side of the building; the main entry is located on the northwest. The upper level, approximately 10,400 square feet, will be used for an employee lounge, toilet rooms, offices, call center, and community room. Site access will be from the Access outlet road between the existing McDonald's restaurant and Wells Fargo locations, which provides access for these three developments off of Apollo Drive. The adjacent retail shopping center adjacent to the proposed SMW Federal Credit Union site will also have a parking drive connection for traffic to flow in an East/West direction connecting to another existing curb cut exit entrance onto Apollo Drive. A total of 88 parking stalls are required; we are showing 93 parking stalls located at the west, north, and east sides of the building.
