He stated that the City has received an <br /> application from CorTrust Bank for a proposed new bank to be located at the northeast corner of <br /> Zeolite Street and Sunwood Drive. The application includes a Site Plan, Plat and Zoning <br /> Amendment. <br /> Chairperson Moore commented that she was hoping the area marked in red would be converted to <br /> native plantings, which it has been. <br /> Board Member Salami asked if the road construction would be brought about because of the hotel <br /> and bank projects and whether those projects would contribute towards the road improvement. <br /> Senior Planner Anderson replied that Zeolite Street was constructed as a temporary road to connect <br /> Bunker Lake Boulevard and Sunwood Drive,therefore the City was aware that it would eventually <br /> need to reconstruct the road to City standards.
