Victor Gardens North Village 4th Addition Preliminary Plat and PUD for Postal Credit Union The Commission considered the Victor Gardens North Village 4th Addition Preliminary Plat and PUD for Postal Credit Union located on the southwest corner of Victor Hugo Boulevard and Rosemary Way. The applicant requested approval of a Preliminary Plat and PUD General Plan to construct a 5,000 square foot bank with drive-through tellers on a 1.62 acre lot with a 4.25 -acre outlot on the 5.88 -acre site. The Planner explained the applicants are proposing to construct a Postal Credit Union bank that includes 4 drive-through teller lanes and a drive -up ATM machine on the 1.62 -acre commercial lot. The bank will be served by the private drive that will be constructed between Victor Hugo Boulevard to Elmcrest Avenue as part of the development of the Kwik Trip. The site is ready to be developed with PUD flexibility. Some of the flexibility includes 25 parking spaces verses the required 33, the stacking of the bank drive thm to be 110 feet verses the required 180 feet, and the allowance of 2 wall signs instead of 1. The landscaping exceeded the city's requirements and the architecture is going to be brick with precast stone. There will be pedestrian access to the bank and the Planner suggested more sidewalk space and changed orientation of the side walks. The Planner questioned the position of the ATM, but stated it was acceptable. The resolutions are changed to state they will construct the road. Generally they are in compliance with the PUD requirements and staff recommended approval. Schumann asked if the structure met the City's architectural standards. The planner stated that it is not far from the City's standards and that staff would continue to work with the applicant on the architecture.
