Title
APPROVING A SPECIAL EXCEPTION USE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A STANDALONE, DRIVE-THROUGH ONLY AUTOMATIC TELLER MACHINE (ATM) TO BE LOCATED AT 3101 NORTH STATE ROAD 7.
BACKGROUND: Petitioner requests Site Plan approval to renovate 2,500 square feet of an existing 8,258 square foot commercial building for the new Dandee Donut Factory with the addition of a drive-through window. The petitioner also proposes a standalone drive-through only ATM at the property. Section 8.4(B) of the Margate Zoning Code does not allow for drive-through facilities without a Special Exception in the TOC-G district.
On May 24, 2016, the Development Review Committee (DRC) approved a previous request for the drive-through only ATM, and the 3,100 square foot addition for the new Dandee Donut Factory with drive-through. The Special Exception was approved with conditions. A copy of the minutes from the May 24, 2016 DRC meeting is attached.
The proposed change from the site plan approved in May will be to place the drive-through only ATM at an alternate location within the parking lot. The proposed site plan change will improve site circulation and help to avoid possible stacking issues that may have occurred with the previously approved ATM placement. The new proposed ATM location will help to eliminate pedestrian vehicular conflicts within the site by providing additional pavement markings, providing the ATM machine outside of the traffic lane and by providing adequate vehicular stacking as the vehicle exits the ATM machine use.
RECOMMENDATION: An alternate location for the ATM was approved by the DRC on
February 28, 2017; a copy of the meeting minutes is attached.
