         • Action: Special exception application for a drive-in bank
         • Location: Sun Trust Bank located in the Greenbriar Shopping Center

           This an 'information only' presentation to the Sully District Council on behalf of Sun Trust Bank regarding a special exception application for a drive-in bank located in the Greenbriar Shopping Center. Although the property is located in the Springfield District, Sully District is on the north side of Route 50 and may have some input.

           Sun Bank, (the "Applicant") requests approval of a special exception to permit a drive-in financial institution in accordance with Section 9-601 of the Zoning Ordinance. The application property is located approximately .25 of a mile east of the intersection of Lee Jackson Memorial Highway (Route 50) and Stringfellow Road (Route 645) on the south side of Route 50 and is further identified as a 0.529 acre portion of Fairfax County Tax Map 45-1 ((01)) Parcel 10C, (the 'Property').

           The Applicant is the lessee of the Property, currently zoned C-6, Community Commercial Retail and developed with the now vacant Pizza Hut Restaurant. The Property is part of the overall Greenbriar Shopping Center, Parcel 10C, that was previously developed with various neighborhood retail uses under site plan (8012-SP-01-03).

           The Applicant proposes to construct an approximately 3,200 square feet Bank with two drive-through teller windows and 21 surface parking spaces that will serve the Bank. Additionally, ten total stacking spaces (five per each drive-through lane) and an ATM on the front of the building for automated banking service to walk-up customers will be provided

           The Property is located in the BR4 Stringfellow Community Planning Sector of the Bull Run Planning District (Area III) of the Comprehensive Plan and is planned for neighborhood shopping center. The maximum permitted floor area ratio for the C-6 Zoning District is .35 FAR while the existing floor area ratio of the approved overall shopping center plan (8012-SP-01-03) is .27 FAR. The proposed development includes a 3,200 square foot Sun Trust Bank with an FAR of 0.13±. The Special Exception area is .529 acres. The proposed Bank is located within an existing neighborhood shopping center and therefore is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.

           1. Type of Operation: The proposed bank will be a drive-in financial institution with two drive-through lanes. The 1st lane will be for a dedicated ATM that will be operational 24 hours a day. The 2nd lane will be a teller operated widow that is open the same hours as the bank.
           2. Hours of Operation: The proposed financial institution will provide banking services to the neighboring area and the Applicant request that the hours of operation permit the banking center to be open for customer business between 9 AM and 6 PM Monday through Friday and 9 AM to 2 PM on Saturday. The Applicant also request that the Drive-In hours of operation be 9 AM to 6 PM Monday through Friday and 9 AM to 2 PM on Saturday. These hours of operation are consistent with the existing Sun Trust Bank banking services currently being offered at other Sun Trust Bank Branch locations throughout the VA/MD/DC Metro area.
           3. Proposed number of employees: It is anticipated that the bank will employ approximately 15 full-time employees on-site at any one time.

   • The annual spring Alice Ferguson foundation cleanup of the Potomac River Watershed will take place on Saturday, April 5, or a weekend before or after that date, depending on the schedule of your volunteer team.
     • The Fairfax Watershed Network is partnering with the Alice Ferguson foundation to coordinate the 2008 Potomac River Watershed Cleanup in Fairfax County. Many small neighborhood park and stream cleanups are being planned throughout the county. We are looking for volunteers to help pick up trash at these cleanups, but we are especially looking for people to establish their own neighborhood cleanups. This is a great opportunity for individuals and groups of any size. Most cleanups will be held on Saturday, April 5, but cleanups can be organized in the weeks before or after those dates.
     • Held annually since 1989, the Potomac River Watershed Cleanup has engaged over 35,000 volunteers and 250 partners, and removed more than 2.5 million pounds of trash from the Potomac Watershed. Cleanup locations are posted on the website below. Registering a new cleanup can also be done on the website, but if you need help finding a suitable location, recruiting volunteers, and having your full trash bags removed after the cleanup, please contact Dan Schwartz at the Northern Virginia Soil and Water Conservation District.

   • Speak Up for a Child - Volunteers Needed!
     • A new case of child abuse or neglect enters the Fairfax County Domestic & Juvenile Relations Court system once every 30 hours. These children need caring advocates to help ensure that they grow up in safe and permanent homes.
     • That’s where Fairfax Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) comes in. An independent nonprofit organization, Fairfax CASA recruits and trains volunteers to investigate a child’s situation and to advocate for the best interests of the child in court. All CASA volunteers undergo extensive training; no prior experience in child welfare or the law is required.
     • If you are interested in becoming a CASA volunteer, please attend Fairfax CASA’s upcoming information session at the Centreville Regional Library on Saturday, April 5, 11:00 am - 12:00 pm. To learn more, visit www.casafairfax.org, or call or email Elisa Kosarin, Recruitment and Training Manager at (703) 273-3526, ext. 22 or ekosarin @ casafairfax.org.
