This is the State Employees' Credit Union. It is located at the intersection of Oakdale and NC $6. It's in the Hillsborough Township. It is adjacent to the Citgo service station, which is located back over to the east (pointing to map}. You have the Hillsborough EDD to the north. Back to the western side, you have a single family home, but that is also in the Orange County EDD. And on the south side of the property you have asingle-family house that's also in the ED-LO district. The building size that is there now is a 5,000-square foot building. It was built back in '97-`98 time period. And they have run out of space. They have recently acquired the property to the south and are looking to expand this from the 1.88-acre site, which is the current site, by adding another 1.37 acres to that, for a total of 3.25 acres. The building itself has an ATM lane. The ATM machine is actually in the building. That is one lane. And then there are three drive-through lanes far the conducting of business by the people that go through. They have a total of four-lanes including the ATM. The current zoning on the site is ED-LO-1, on the northern portion. And it has a special use permit that the Commissioners approved, that was not removed when this was rezoned to ED-LO-1. So the Special Use Permit, for at least the northern portion, is still in place. The southern tract is for general use zoning, ED-LO-1 for all of the uses that are currently in the table of permitted uses of that district. What they're doing now, through the planned development process, is a map amendment, which is the legislative part, to rezone the whole tract to a planned development ED-LO-1 classification with a Special Use Permit, which is the quasi-judicial part, that includes the site plan review. (pointing to map} The Credit Union is asking to add a little bit on the northern side of the property. [Mr. Davis referred to a map] They want to put some office space there -converting of the canopy area that is the existing drive-through lanes. That would also be converted to office with the pavement around that portion to be taken up and re-sown with grass and landscaping. They would also have a new building that would be built on the southern end of the property, which is about 635 square feet, that would be a remote teller station for the employees to work, handling the new, relocated drive- through lanes. They are requesting a total of five lanes- one ATM, and one of them would be an addition - so it would be a 33-percent expansion of what they have. Also, there would be a 2000- square foot canopy that would be built over thane drive-through lanes. It would be an additional 2334-square foot addition to the site. The water and sewer currently is now provided by the Town of Hillsborough and would continue to be served by Hillsborough. They would work through the Hillsborough requirements to expand the water and sewer within their site. The Planning Department has received agency comments from the Sheriff's Department. The Sheriff's office said that they do not have any issues with this. Emergency Management and the Fire Marshal have indicated that they would not have any problems servicing the area. And NC- DOT has provided some comments relating to the access. The Credit Union currently has a full service access on NC $6 and a full service access on Oakdale. What they (Credit Union) had requested on this plan was another full-service access to the south. One of DOT's comments was that access would be too close to the business park access -Millstone Drive- and that they would recommend that that driveway be re-located because the intersection is too close. Staff also is recommending that that one access be eliminated on this plan, and to continue to use the driveway on the northern side on the existing site. Mr. Davis said that there are some performance standards that they have not met yet under our ordinance. If a developer or an applicant cannot meet all of the requirements of the particular district in which they're located, they can ask for minor deviations from the plan. And the Board has
