Project Description
Lake City Bank Remodel
1361 S. Rangeline Road
The project consists of the adaptive re-use of the former Day Furs retail store into a new location
for Lake City Bank. The interior of the building will be completely renovated for the new use.
The exterior of the building will be modified to be more consistent with other Lake City Bank
locations and to provide for ATM and drive-thru functions. The site will be modified to provide
vehicular access to the ATM/drive-through, reconfigured parking, improved pedestrian access,
bike racks, and additional landscaping. The reconfigured parking triggers a variance.
The exterior of the building will have new brick in place of much of the existing siding. Other
existing siding areas will be replaced with EIFS (Exterior Insulation Finish System/synthetic
stucco). Existing windows will be modified, and more windows will be added. New exterior
building mounted lighting will be provided. New signage for Lake City Bank will be provided on
the building and on a proposed monument sign. The west façade wall sign and monument sign
fronting on Rangeline Road trigger one variance, and the setback of the monument sign triggers
another variance.

Statement of Variances
Lake City Bank Remodel
1361 S. Rangeline Road
As part of the remodel/redevelopment of 1361 South Rangeline Road, the Applicant is seeking
three (3) standards variances.
The first variance, docketed as PZ-2023-00194V, is a request to allow for two (2) signs
fronting/facing west with one (1) being a wall sign on the west wall gable, and the other being a
monument sign fronting on Rangeline Road. The Carmel UDO only allows one (1) sign
facing/fronting west.
The second variance, docketed as PZ-2023-00195V, is a request to allow the monument sign
encroach into the Rangeline Road right-of-way by two feet (2’). The Carmel UDO requires a five
foot (5’) setback.
The third variance, docketed as PZ-2023-00196V, is a request to allow for fourteen (14) on-site
parking spaces following the redevelopment. The Carmel UDO requires twenty (20) on-site
parking spaces.

Statements of Support
Lake City Bank Remodel
1361 S. Rangeline Road
Applicant sets forth the following statements in support of the variances it is seeking in conjunction
with the remodel/redevelopment of the Day Furs building/site for into a Lake City Bank
office/branch.
1. Two (2) Signs Facing/Fronting on Rangeline Road | PZ-2023-00194V
The site has only one curb cut and in order to properly identify the site for expected
customers/visitors, it is important to have both the monument sign and the wall sign. The wall
sign can be seen by vehicular traffic on Rangeline Road from a certain distance, while the wall
sign properly identifies the building, once the customer/visitor is closer.
2. Monument Sign Not Meeting Setback | PZ-2023-00195V
The monument sign was placed in the landscaped area adjacent to improved Rangeline Road
in order to have the sign properly identify the site to traffic on Rangeline Road, and to avoid
any conflicts with traffic using the wrap around driveway. The sign does not interfere with the
existing asphalt path nor does it interfere with an y vision clearance requirement.
3. Parking Space Reduction | PZ-2023-00196V
The site currently has sixteen (16) parking spaces wrapping the building. The
renovation/redevelopment adds a drive-up teller/ATM on the north side, eliminating five (5)
existing spaces; however, the outdoor trash dumpster is being eliminated, resulting in a gain
of three (3) spaces. The Lake City Bank office/branch is more of an office function versus a
traditional retail branch, with fewer tellers and more office space for meetings/employee
training, thus reducing daily parking demand.

(minimum 5 foot ground sign setback from street right-of-way required; 0 feet requested)
TM Crowley & Associates, LLC | Lake City Bank Remodel Variances
the ground sign will not interfere with any vision clearance requirement, nor will it create a greater
distraction when compared to a ground sign meeting the required setback.
the reduced setback will not interfere with access or visibility to or from adjacent properties.
the 5 foot setback requirement does not account for rights of way which extend further into a developed
parcel than the edge of a public walkway.

PZ-2023-00196V (minimum 20 parking spaces required, 14 requested)
TM Crowley & Associates, LLC | Lake City Bank Remodel Variances
there will be adequate on-site parking for the expected day-to-day operation of the property, which will
minimize any chance of traffic backing into the public right-of-way.
there is not connected or cross-parking, and very little risk of bank visitors using parking on adjacent lots.
the parking ratio requirements do not account for the actual intensity of a particular use, which in this case
is significantly less than a typical retail bank branch.
