This <br /> area is quickly developing with a variety of uses. Directly across Highway 86 is a Citco <br /> Station/convenience store. Adjacent to that facility is the Highway Department/Storage <br /> Area. On the Citco Stations opposite side, less than a block away, is a new office park. <br /> The proposed facility will be an improvement on the existing site which is somewhat <br /> cluttered with a lot of buildings and structures. The proposed use will be fitting for the area <br /> in that it will provide much needed expansion of the State Employees' Credit Union in <br /> Hillsborough, as well as providing handicap accessibility for banking. The architecture on <br /> the building is appropriate for a residential area in that it resembles a residential structure. <br /> The exterior materials and finishes are neutral in color and the landscape materials blend well <br /> with existing material in the area. We have been able to retain a strip of existing mature <br /> vegetation to enhance the site as well. Finally, we believe this facility will be a great asset to <br /> the Town of Hillsborough and hope we have the opportunity to see it thru completion. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> O'BRIEN/ATKINS ASSOCIATES, PA <br /> r ' <br /> Liz King <br /> cc: O/A File <br />
