by

Board on
January
27, 1986.
Per City Code, Chapter 62, Section
62-621 the Planning Department
requests a review by the City
Commission of a Special Exception
granted by the Zoning Board on
January 27, 1986 for the property
located at approximately 2800 N.W.
7th Street.
t
There were three decisions made by the Zoning Board in relation
to this project. Two are subject to approval by the City
Commission and one is only subject to Zoning Board decision. Of
the first two, one, the use of a drive-in facility in connection
with a financial institution, was recommended for approval by the
Zoning Board; the second, the reduction of stacking spaces from
10 to 9 and from 10 to 1; was recommended for denial by the same
Board. The third special exception, granted by the Board, and
the subject of this -appeal reduces the transitional area from 50'
to 101. The subject property is zoned CR-2/7 Commercial
Residential (Community) and adjoins a RS-2/2 One Family Detached
Residential district.
The Planning Department considers that the review by the City
Commission is necessary for the following reasons:
1. In order for the City Commission to
review the case in a holistic manner,
all three special exceptions should be
considered.
2. The intent of the 50' transitional area
between districts of commercial and
residential designation is to protect
the latter and to provide for a
Page 1 of 2

reduction of the impact that the
activities in the commercial district
may have upon the residential one. The
Planning Department has recommended the
reduction of the transitional strip to
20' with adequate landscaoing and a
wall in order to provide for an
appropriate reduction of the impact on
the residential side. This 20'
distance enables the applicant to
retain the same building as projected
with an adjustment of the orientation
and, maintaining, also, the parking
area as required. The proposed 20
parking spaces is excessive, there are
only 8 spaces required according to the
size and use of the building.
It is requested that this item be heard on the City
Commission meeting of February 27th, 1986.

Mr. Gort: There you go.
Mr. Olmedillo: Thank you. Mr. Chairman, members
of the Board, for the record Guillermo Olmedillo, Planning
Department. The Planning Department recommends approval of the
activity itself, that is, the activity for the drive-in which is
compatible with the district; however, the reduction of the
transitional area from 50' to 10' is not recommended for
approval. The Planning Department feels that the transitional
area must have a minimum of 20' of a landscaped area with a wall,
a 6' wall, along the property line. Also, the Planning
Department recommends denial of the special exception to reduce
the number of reservoir space. As you can see in the drawing,
the bank facility has two windows, two window tellers, ' and they
are parallel to each other which means that one window will have
9 stacking spaces and the second window will have 1 stacking
space; the required spaces stand per window, therefore, the
Planning Department is recommending denial of this second special
exception, also.
Mr. Gort: How about on the 50' setback?
Mr. Olmedillo: The 50' setback, the Planning
Department recommends to reduce it to 20 with a landscaped area
to be approved by the Planning Department and a 6' wall at the

Mr. Gort: Okay. Thank you, sir. Yes, sir.
Mr. Shockett: Mr. Chairman, members of the
Board, my name is William Shockett, I'm attorney for the
applicant. I'm also a commissioner in the City of Miami Beach.
I'm not used to standing on this side of the podium. I would
like to submit to you letters of approval from adjoining property
owners particularly two of the three lots here, the third one is
out of town and we couldn't contact her. Also, you'll see
( looking at the transparency map on the wall) with the
application when the notices went out, there were, not at our
request, just in response voluntarily to the notices, six letters
came in in favor of the application and only one opposed it and
that person who filed a notice in opposition is a doctor, not a
resident, who maintains an office in a nearby small center.
This property was previously used as a 24-hour service
station. The neighbors in the area, needless to say, are very
happy to see this kind of use... the property put to this kind of
use particularly the people who are most impacted by this which
are the people that reside in the area where the recommendation
is that we go to 20' instead of our plan which shows 10' and I'll
explain to you the reasons for this.
First, this second teller is an automatic teller. The
first teller in the building here is a live teller. We put the
automatic teller there for a reason, to avoid the very thing that
you are concerned with and that is the backup of traffic. If
3 January 27, 1986, Items 1, 2 & 3
Zoning Board'' "'SS
A A
there is just one teller here, then in all probability since you
are dealing with them and people are conversing you will have
backups to the street. Republic felt that a automatic teller
here will alleviate that problem for the obvious reasons. That
is why we ask for this exception so that we don't have to have
two lines of traffic all the way through the property which the
recommendation of the Planning Department was to do this, but we
would lose valuable parking spaces inside since we would have to
run the whole length of the property here. So this is something
that we just ... we've tried to work with the City. We've agreed
to raise the wall, and keep in mind in this landscaped area,
there will be a 6' cement wall blocking the residential property
from this and we intend to landscape that whole area around the
property.
The bank facility closes at 5 o'clock. You are not
going to have any congestion in the evening, and we feel that
this layout is suitable for this neighborhood and it will not
result, we don't feel it will result in the backing... backing up
of traffic in the area. We looked at the drive-in tellers for
branch banks and in practically all the branch banking, if you'll
notice yourself when you go by, there is very little traffic with
the drive-in tellers. It's a service ... it actually operates at a
loss but it's a service that the bank must provide but it's not
one that's really used in branch banks. If you look at a main
office, if you look at Republic's main office and their drive-
ins, their backed up to the street but look at any branch office,
look at Capital Bank is in the neighborhood, look at any of the
other branch banks and you'll see that these drive-in facilities
are rarely used. The reason is when you have a branch, you want
to open it to the local people in the community, you want to make
contact with the locals, you want to talk to them, they want to
come in and see the branch manager and almost all the banking is
done inside. So experience shows that you really don't need this
two lanes of traffic and all the reservoir spaces that the City
has requested. So we respectfully ask you to grant our
application on those basis, and in particular, I emphasize that
the people in the neighborhood are all in favor of this to a
person, at least the ones that reside there. If there's any
questions...
Mr. Gort-., Does that conclude your
presentation?
Mr. Shockett: That concludes my presentation
and...
Mr. Gort: Is there anyone in opposition?
Come right in, sir. I suggest that any question comes during the
opposition, you write it down so you can answer it afterwards in
your few minutes for rebuttal.
thank you.
Mr.
Shockett:
I won't
interrupt him. Okay,
Mr.
Gort
Yes,
sir.
Mr. Borden: My name is Dillard Borden. I am a
resident. My office sits directly to the...
Mr. Gort: Give me your address please, sir.
Mr. Borden: 2900 NW 7 Street. We've been at
that location since 1951 and I did send a card in. Anyone
familiar with this area... there is a traffic problem right now
and I'd like to point out, if I could, on there.
Mr. Gort: Sure, there's a portable mike.
Please put it on because everything has to be taped. Right over
there, there's a portable mike right there.

Mr. Perez-Lugones: There is a small like...
(Mr. Borden found the lapel microphone.)
Mr. Borden: In the area right here on 7th
Street is...the intersection is not like this. Okay? There's a
shopping center across the street Also, you're only two blocks
from 27th Avenue. In the mornings from 7:30 until approximately
9: 30 getting across ... (word unintelligible) 7th Street is almost
impossible. In fact, we have accidents there all the time with
people trying to either turn down 28 th Avenue or trying to get
out 28th Avenue and head west on 7th Street. As a result, we
have a continuing problem...and we take up the next piece of
property adjacent to these driveways ... we can not even get into
our own parking spaces in the front of our building during those
hours.
If you cut that reservoir down, there will be no space
in there to back these cars up because you'd only have 11 spaces
coming off 7th Street. If this traffic backs west, we will have
no way to get into our own parking spaces which border right on
7th Street and that's why we don' t feel that... not the fact that
you're putting a branch bank there, it's a fact that the location
of this piece of property, the way it physically sits in
relationship to east -west traffic on 7th Street, which is a main
east -west artery, presents a very difficult problem to get in and
out of these lanes without backing up traffic any more than it is
right now. You have the same condition in the afternoon coming
west from the City, from like 3 o'clock until, like he says, when
the bank closes, up until about 6: 30 and what we would ... what we
would like to see happen is that that traffic exposure be studied
because the intersection does not warn itself to signalization.
You're too close to 27th Avenue and you don't have a through
intersection here. It goes like this and the next street is over
here, almost like this.
Also, you have the same problem with people trying to
get around the 27th Avenue light. They're continually making
left hand turns at this intersection and this intersection which
is on the other side of the shopping center at the La Hacienda
restaurant. As a result, that's continually blocked off and I
just don't see how you can put a facility like that in there
without creating more of a havoc with the traffic than we have
right now and we have approximately 14 parking spaces that
go... start right at this property line and run directly west,
that border right on 7th Street.
Mr. Gort: Thank you, sir.
Mr. Moran-Ribeaux: Mr. Chairman, just a comment from
out of my head and excuse me, before you start. Can that...
Mr. Perez-Lugones: Could you turn in the micro... turn
on the microphone please.
Mr. Moran-Ribeaux: Okay. I was wondering has any
study been done and I imagine it has and for some reason it's not
presented here, to have the traffic flow the opposite way, people
coming in through the avenue and exiting through the street with
a right only turn sign at the opposite end? The entry should be
on the avenue and then going exactly the opposite way and then
going out that way with a right turn only sign. Would that solve
any kind of problem?
Mr. Gort: I don't think so. I'm not an
expert but to my knowledge that's...
Mr. Perez-Lugones: That would... that will create a
backup in the residential area.
Mr. Moran-Ribeaux:
Mr. Perez-Lugones:
I beg your pardon?
That will create...

Mr. Gort: You can not come in through a
residential area.
Mr. Perez-Lugones: It will create a backup in the
residential area which is worse.
Mr. Gort: It would be even worse.
Mr. Moran-R ibeaux: Okay.
Mr. Gort: Okay, sir, you've got a few
minutes for rebuttal.
Mr. Shockett: Yes, our concerns are the same as
the doctor' s concern. If we didn't have the automatic teller
then we would have sufficient reservoirs. All we did was add an
automatic teller and that's created the reason for us coming to
you and asking for the waiver. We did this to avoid the problems
that he's talking about. As I said, our experience in banking...
we are not going to create a problem for him. We have more than
enough, and they'll tell you, that we have more than enough
parking on the property. So I don't think that that concer... we
addressed the identical concern that the doctor had and this was
the solution for it because as the Planning Department stated the
use is harmonious and compatible with the adjacent area and will
be beneficial to the community. The people that live there agree
with that. So this is how we address the doctor's concern. I
think if he understood that, he would realize that if we took the
automatic teller out, we wouldn't need the second lane and we'd
have a bigger problem than we have.
Mr. Gort: Okay, thank you, sir. We now
close the public hearing to have any comments and questions among
Board members.
Ms. Morales: Sir, how many parking spaces do
you have altogether?
Mr. Shockett Twenty.
Ms. Morales: Twenty. Isn't possible to reduce
some of the parking and have two lanes instead of one lane?
Mr. Shockett That was the suggestion by the
Planning Department. We can't do that. We can not eliminate any
more parking spaces.
Mr. Gort: Why?
Mr. Shockett Republic needs those parking
spaces there for the customers. Because of their experience, you
need to provide spaces for the people that use the facility. The
drive-in is not a major facility at all. It's an incidental to
something that we have to provide for the customers. The...
they'll, you know...
Mr. Gort: Any other questions?
Mr. Milian: Yes. You're saying that it's only
incidental but on the other hand, you're concerned about not
having enough serv...reservoir capacity and that's why you added
the automatic teller?
Mr. Shockett: Yes.
Mr. Milian: It seems to me that you already
are concerned about the possibilities of having a backup into 7th
Street and its being so close to 27 th Avenue, I think a lot
more... I'm going to have go with the Planning Department's
recommendation.

Mr. Gort: Any other questions?
Mr. Moran-Ribeaux: Well, no, I'd like to make an
observation here. Okay. I'm sorry, I'm not trying to play the
devil's advocate. Okay, if Planning is recommending the one
window and the nine reservoir spaces, I think the addition of a
second space will only minimize the problem because people are
not going to go more or less because there are two reservoir or
one reser...well, I mean, two windows or one window. The traffic
will move a lot faster if there are two windows than if there's
only one window. So I think the opening of a new facility with
the exception that they are requesting is totally allowed ... I
mean, it's totally permissible, it makes sense.

Mr. Shockett: That's exactly...
Mr. Gort: Any other...
Mr. Moran-R ibeaux: I mean it would make it flow
Mr. Shockett That's exactly why we did it.
Mr. Gort: Any other questions?
Mr. Milian: I have a question for the Planning
Department.
Mr. Gort: Go ahead. Go ahead, sir.
Mr. Milian: If they didn't request an
automatic... automatic teller, would that be allowable within the
zoning code right now?
Mr. Olmedillo: The ordinance does not make a
difference between an automatic teller or a manned teller. It's
simply a teller.
Mr. Gort Takes as much time one as the
other one.
Mr. Olmedillo: One thing I must clear up is that
the comment was made that the Planning Department recommended 20
spaces. To our understanding the required number of parking
spaces is only 8, not 20.
Mr. Shockett I didn't say they recommended. I
said we had more than the required. That's what I meant to say.
Mr. Gort: Excuse me, sir. We have closed
the public hearing. We'll get to you and we'll ask you a
question.
Mr. Shockett: Okay, I'm sorry. Excuse me.
Mr. Gort
Thank you. Go ahead.
Mr. Olmedillo: The required number of parking
spaces is 8 to our understanding due to the size of the building.

Mr. Olmedillo: Eight.'

Mr. Sands:
Without the automatic teller,
would it be permissible for him with that one live teller to
build what he has there now?
Mr. Olmedillo:
He has nine in it. The
requirements stand ... of course,
from ten to nine is much easier
than from from ten to one.
Mr. Sands:
What I'm asking is because of the
automatic teller, does that mean he has to have more reservoir,
more stacking spaces?
Mr. Olmedillo:
Right. Each window must have ten
reservoir spaces.
Mr. Sands:
Okay, if he eliminates the
automatic teller, what happens?
Mr. Olmedillo:
manned window.
Mr. Sands:
Mr. Olmedillo.-
Mr. Moran-R ibeaux:
Mr. Olmedillo:
He'll be left with nine in the
He'll still need one?
He will still need one more...
Yeah, but I think, Mr. Sands...
...to meet the requirement.
Mr. Moran-Ribeaux: ... the traffic will be higher with
only one teller than with the two tellers. Definitely. I mean,
Milian, look at it.
Mr. Milian: Osvaldo, but, nevertheless,
they're requesting here a variance, we have a requirement of ten
and they're requiring... they're requesting a variance to have
only nine...
Mr. Moran-R ibeaux: Yeah, but the variance is to help.
Mr. Milian: You have to bear in mind that
these types of facilities... and I don't know if he has indicated
that he hasn't seen any major problems ... I have seen a lot
problems with these drive-in facilities that is backing up
traffic and north ... 7th Street is a very major thoroughfare and
the traffic out there is just tremendous...
Mr. Moran-R ibeaux: That's more...
Mr. Milian: ...and I don't know if it is even
proper to have that kind of facility in there...
Mr. Moran-Ribeaux: But they are going to have it.
Mr. Milian: ...and in addition to that to be
requesting a variance to lower the number of reservoir.
Mr. Moran-R ibeaux: Milian, there is a catch twenty-
two situation. I think the petition for the...excuse me, Willy,
I'm ... we're discussing here among members now. I think...I mean
the way I look at is this. The request for a change on their
part really will try to solve a problem which they may otherwise
have with what they are allowed to do. I mean we are saying that
from ten to nine is not much of a difference so it's okay to have
one teller. The way I look at it, is with two it's better, with
three like Hemisphere National Bank would still be even much
better. So why not let it go faster and that the way the need
for those nine spaces will be more reduced. People are not going
to go more or less because there are two, three or four. They
will stack more if there's only one.
8 January 27, 1986, Items 1, 2 & 3
Zoning Board 86-1.59.
Ms. Basila: Mr. Moran, you must remember that
there is one lane... there is always going to be one waiting and
one moving. You understand?
Mr. Moran-R ibeaux: Right, but I mean, you notice they
will finish ... I mean, if you divide the traffic in between two
tellers, the movement of a car that comes in is cut right in half
for both of them. So if a car is going to stay ten minutes in
the line, if you have two ... with only one teller, if you have two
tellers that car will stay there only five minutes. So it
actually will ease the backup situation. Look at it from that
point of view.
Mr. Gort: What he's saying makes sense but
let me tell you what my problem is. I know that corner very
well. There used to be a small gas station in there and that
corner is one of the worst corners there is on 7th Street, the
reason being, as it was stated before, it's not one that goes
right across. It's a dead end in 7 th Street. You've got St.
Michael School down the street, three blocks down. In the
morning you've got very heavy traffic with people going to
school. You've got the heavy traffic of the people at the
shopping center right across the street. Then you've got the
people going to work that utilize the main artery to go to
downtown Miami. There's always a backup in that corner. The
backup goes all the way to half of that property in the morning.
I, myself, find the property...I think the use is fine and
they're complying with... almost they're complying with the
minimum of standard required by the City zoning code. But that
corner itself has got a lot of problems. Traffic is a big
problem in there. I think the Republic Bank... it wants to do a
service and we appreciate that but at the same time, they will
find, business wise, the feasibility of it is going to be worse
for them because people are going to have trouble getting to that
facility, getting out, in and out of that facility. I think what
they're trying to do is utilize a small space and maximize too
much. That's one of the reasons why I would like to see the
setback the 20'...and I agree, I don't think a 20' is necessary,
I think with 20' they can do it and I can see the stack up of 20
cars instead of 10•because there's always going to problems. Let
me tell you, they say drive-in facilities don't create problems,
in certain areas they don't create problems but in that area, I
can guarantee you, they're going to provide a lot of problems
because you've got a lot of small stores around there, you've got
a lot of the shopping potentials and one reason they're going to
put that it in there is because they've done their surveys and
how many customers they've got in there and how many people want
to utilize the drive -up windows and you're gonna always have cars
outside if you only have nine spaces. I'd rather have 20 spaces
than 9 spaces...
Mr. Moran-Ribeaux: Willy, but you can not have...
Mr. Gor t ...or none at all...
Mr. Moran-R ibeaux: Okay.
Mr. Gort ... that's how I feel about it...
Mr. Moran-Ribeaux: Now let me give you my other.half.
Mr. Gort ... this is my message to the bank.
Mr. Moran-R ibeaux: No. No, but... no, no, let
me...now we're talking, let me give you my other half, not that
I'm trying to defend them or anything like that. I mean, you can
not have 200 that's number one because the space doesn't allow
the 20. So what would you like to have, a situation where a
drive-in teller occupies "x" time or half "x". I'd rather go for
the half "x" time.

Mr. Gort: I'd rather not have it than say
they don't need it so why...
Mr. Moran-R ibeaux: Well, but they're going to do it.
Mr. Gort: ...why have it then. I mean...
Mr. Shockett: May I respond?
Mr. Gort: Yes, sir.
Mr. Shockett: This gentleman has hit it right on
the head. We are trying to reduce the traffic and the backup
just by adding a manual teller, nothing else. Now, we can come
back to you and ask to vary one reservoir space just by having a
live teller there, it would be a very minimal problem. I don't
think you'd have a problem with one space but...
Mr. Gort: I understand ... I understand what
you're trying to do...
Mr. Shockett: ... if we can't... if we can't —let
me tell you, if we can't use this property...
Mr. Gort: ...I understand what you're trying _
to do, but that corner ... has the bank or yourself or the
architect has done a traffic study of that corner?
Mr. Shockett: The bank has done an economic
survey in order to get the site.
Mr. Gort: A traffic study of the corner, of
the amount of cars and vehicles that goes by at day time...
Mr. Shockett: I can't tell you that, yes or no.
I can't tell...
Mr. Gort: ...the backup that it takes place?
Mr. Shockett: I can't tell you that because you
could have the backup with people pulling into the parking lot
too.
Mr. Gort: I'm talking about as it is right
now without the bank being present there. Have you done that
study at all?
Mr. Shockett: I. ..no.
Mr. Gort Okay.
Mr. Shockett: But I can tell you that if we `
don't put a bank on there, there's going to be something else put
on there and there's... you're always going to have problems in a
commercial area, but we tried to solve the problem and as a
result of solving the problem, we are now handicapped and you're
saying you want 20 reservoirs when all we had to do was take out
the automatic and we come here for one and this is what we try to
do. So we try to provide this with less backup, less traffic and
it's just being made appear like it's a big bank trying to
overuse a piece of property and it really isn't. We're trying to
help the people in the neighborhood.
Mr. Gort: Thank you, sir. Do you have any
• other solutions that you can think of? Mr. Moran makes sense.
If they eliminate the automatic, then they comply with the
minimum standards and by providing the automatic, you penalize
them then and they're going to expedite the existing line, so
it's a catch twenty-two as it was stated Mr. Moran.

Mr. Olmedillo: There may be other ways to
organize traffic coming in and having enough space for ten
stacking spaces and have the window. Now, if the Board sees
feasible that this mechanical window does accelerate the process,
they may consider it so but...(Mr. Olmedillo walked over to the
rendering the applicant had displayed.)
Mr. Perez-Lugones: Take the small -like microphone.
Mr. Gort- Use the mike.
Mr. Olmedillo: What you will see is that past
this point ( pointed to a place on the rendering) , the two windows
do not function as two windows because if you have one person
here waiting for that window because he needs service of a person
not a simple automatic transaction in the bank, then he will have
the one in the window, the one back here and this will be held up
anyways. So it is a limited help, I would say, but not beyond
this -'point ( pointed to a place on the rendering) . Because once
you-have..41et's say you have two clients who need to speak to a
teller for some reason, you need to have your —your hold waived
on your check; therefore you ... you must talk to a person.
Mr. Moran-Ribeaux: But that person usually would get
out ... would get out and talk to the bank. I mean, it makes
sense.
Mr. Olmedillo:
Mr. Moran-R ibeaux:
Mr. Olmedillo:
banks operations...
Or through the window.
Yeah, but this...
I'm not trying to go into the
Mr. Moran-R ibeaux: Right.
Mr. Olmedillo: I'm just saying that anyone who
would have to talk to the person who is in the teller window
would be to ... would have to stack behind and...
Mr. Moran-R ibeaux: That's the exception to the rule.
I mean, anybody that goes and has that problem, really, I mean,
we're holding here for a little thing, you know, like the little
fish that held the whole damn. I mean that person...I mean, we
shouldn't.
Mr. Gort: My question...my question is, if
they eliminate the... and it's a question that the Board presents
here and Mr. Attorney, I want you to understand, one of the
things that we're trying to do is work it out for the benefit of
everyone. We understand you and we welcome the bank in there and
I think there's a need to do something with the property there
but we're trying to. get the best that we can out of this and
that's why we have these public meetings, and the question
that... and it makes sense, if...all they have to do is eliminate
the automatic ( teller) and if they eliminate the automatic
( teller) they comply with the... they comply with it, is that
correct?
Mr. Olmedillo: They... they would comply if they
had the ten. Of course, they would have to reduce it to...
Mr. Gort: Right but by eliminating the... all
they would have to do to come in front of us is eliminate the
automatic and then all they're requesting is one...the variance
for one...
Mr. Olmedillo: Reduction to nine.
Mr. Gort: ... reduction of the... from ten to
11 January 27, 1986,
Zoning Board
Items 1, 2 & 3
SCI-i 39
Mr. Olmedillo: Right. Right.
Mr. Gort: ... and then the landscaping. It
would be a minimum. So by providing the automatic, we in turn
are penalizing them with an expedite of what is in existence
there and I can see your point, if somebody wants to speak to the
tailor... to the teller, I mean, it will block off and then the
automatic is off but if they eliminate the automatic, there's no
chance at all. Okay, thank you, sir. Okay.
Is there any other questions? Any other questions?
Mr. Olmedillo•. If I may add, Mr...
Mr. Gort: Go ahead.
Mr. Olmedillo: The one important thing that we
have concentrated our efforts as to the ten stacking spaces, the
very important thing is the setback...
Mr. Gort:
Mr. Olmedillo:
Right.
...of the 20'.
Mr. Gort.- That I understand. Yes, sir.
Okay, is there any other questions? statements?
Mr. Moran-Ribeaux: I mean, I believe they're
complying with 20--with a 6' tall wall with a 20' transitional
stage...
Mr. Shockett: No. No.
Mr. Gort: They're asking for 10 only.
Mr. Shockett; The 10... we ask for the 10. The
reason we...I explained it to do the 20, we would have to
eliminate...20 would take us right in here. We couldn't do the
drive-in teller. It's right there.
Ms . Basil'a: Isn't there some way that you
could redesign that and really comply and make it a little more
compatible? Isn't there some way that that can be done?
Mr. Shockett: Sure, here's the architect.
Mr. Cruz: I'm going to answer. My name is
Xavier Cruz. I'm the architect. My address is 3400 SW 105
Court. We could not completely comply but minimize many of the
things that we have asked for had we eliminated ten of the
parking spaces that we have this side and provided a double row
of lanes in here.
Mr. Gort: No, we're talking about the
setback now. The 20' instead of a 10.
Mr. Cruz: The set... the 20' we can not
because of the size of the building that the bank requires and
the requirement that they are asking of us of two tellers to
minimize traffic, we can not come up with the square footage and
the number of parking that they want. By eliminating parking, we
could comply with a lot of things.
Mr. Gort: Are you telling me because of bank
regulations you have to comply with certain square footage you
need to provide?

Mr. Gort: The bank itself...okay.
Mr. Cruz: ...necessity of a size branch and
in their opinion a number of parking spaces that are required for
this type of branch which most of the traffic is pedestrian into
the bank rather than drive-in.
Ms. Basila: Is this a walkway out here going
into the bank?
Mr. Cruz: Yes it is, ma'am. The light pink
type of color is a walkway.
Mr. Olmedillo: To address your question, even the
same building placed instead of like this, like this
horizontally, facing 7th Street, will provide for the 20'
setback.
Mr. Gort Let me ask you a question. What's
in front of us...it's very simple. The minimum parking
requirement by the City code is 8, my understanding is you're
providing 20. I think what's in front of us is are we willing to
sacrifice 12 parking spaces with a 10' setback or are we willing
to give the 20' setback and give less parking spaces.
Mr. Moran-Ribeaux: I'd rather see more parking
spaces, I'll be honest with you.
Mr. Gort Well, that's really what the
question in front of us is right now, because yes, they could
turn their building around, they could put it in some other
position but then they would...
Mr. Moran-Ribeaux: But once you put the wall...
Mr. Gort ... they will be reducing the
parking spaces. Now they have to comply with a 6' masonry
wall...
Mr. Olmed-illo: Right.
Mr. Gort ...and landscaping, 10' landscape.
That's what's in front of us right now.
Mr. Olmedillo: That's their request, ten.
Ms. Basila: They're recommending 20.
Mr. Olmedillo: Right.
Mr. Gort: That's correct.
Mr. Moran-R ibeaux: But* there is a catch here where I
see a wall and really there's not much of a difference if it is
functional and where you park your parking space because the
neighbor...I don't care how far is anything from that wall to the
bank if the neighbors can not see it. There will be dead wall in
there. So I'm, you know, to me it doesn't bother me that much as
long as we alleviate the problem of traffic and so much as we
alleviate the problem of parking and that's the major concern
here and I think their solution...I mean, their proposal kind of
works it out.
Mr. Milian: I think...I think you've hit it
right on the head. I think my concern is more of the location
where this is going to be built. You know, 7 th Street and its
being so close to 27 th Avenue, I know exactly the kind of traffic
they have in that area and the ... what we are going to be creating
a

not having a traffic study being made of the amount of customers
that are going to be lining up in that tellers, it seems to me
that we're just creating a problem with traffic in that area and
that's my concern. I'm not so concerned about, you know, the ... I
even questioned about the fact that if they would only... if they
would eliminate the automatic teller whether it's really, in
fact, a good place to have this drive-in teller with only nine or
ten, even in accordance with the zoning code without having some
kind of a traffic study being done or what kind of traffic
they're going to be generating into that automatic... or those
tellers. That's my concern. 1 mean, if it were located in
another.. -in another street where traffic is not as heavy as it
is on 7 th Street, then I wouldn't have any.. .
Mr. Moran-R ibeaux: But Mr. Milian, that's not what
we're considering.
Mr. Milian: ...I wouldn't have that many
problems but I have very ... a lot of reservations because of the
location.
Mr. Gort: Okay, is there any other
questions? statements? motions?
Mr. Moran-Ribeaux: Well there are three motions to
make, where do we start? (Mr. Moran-Ribeaux started laughing.)
Mr. Gort: Well, you take it one by one, sir.
Ms. Basila: Are you ... do you have in mind at
all to do any traffic study or are you amenable to doing one to
try to alleviate this idea?
Mr. Gort: There's nothing he can do.
Mr. Shockett What we're ... what we're doing is
the bank is going to put its facility on our property and the
bank has told us that they need these requirements. How they
arrived at that, I can't tell you but that is the requirements
they've imposed on us and I assume that whatever studies they've
done since they have a lot of branches, you know, they're going
in and they're prepared for this. So that's why ...we're not
taking a hard line with you. This is the bank's requirements and
if they're not met then we'll have to put that property to
another use, it will not be a bank. This is not the bank coming
before you.
Ms. Basila: Sometimes things like that have to
be done, you know.
Mr. Shockett I don't think that any other use
except for this use is going to be as nice and beneficial to the
neighborhood as we propose within the zoning laws.
Mr. Gort:- Any other questions? Let me tell
you how I feel about it. When I first looked at this and looked
at the presentation and looked at the two drive -up windows and I
agree with the doctor that the problem with traffic there, it's
bad. At the same time you've got to look at it. That corner is
going to be utilized for something. Something is going to be
created in there. Whatever is created there, one of the biggest
problems we have through 7th Street, we've got all these pockets
of small shopping centers taking place and that they don't
provide enough parking spaces and offices and so on and we do
have a problem with parking in the area. It's ... I've got mixed
feelings about this application to tell you the truth.
originally, I was all against it, the two... the two windows but I
can see it makes sense with what Mr. Moran stated before that if
they can do away with one and they only have one and the
requirement in front of us would be a minimum of just one ... bring
the stacking to...down from 10 to 9 and the setback.

So... on the other hand, instead of complying with the
minimum parking requirement, they're going 12 above the minimum
requirement which is something that is a great needed in the area
and you're aware of that. The parking is something it needs all
the time. From what I can see, what the person is having
problems with the...going into the drive-in windows will have
plenty of facility to go inside and park and walk it up rather
than go through the window. Now let me ask you a question, this
has not been asked. What are going to be the operating hours of
this branch?
