College Avenue Ft, Collins, Colorado Re: Re -development of 900 Lemay Safeway Federal Credit Union Dear Leanne. This letter is to address the time line for the future addition to the existing building. It is our plan to renovate the existing building, construct the new drive -up facility along with the foundation only for the future expansion and the required site work with temporary landscaping. We are planning on completing the future expansion within four (4) years based on the anticipated growth of the credit union. Since the existing service entrance, trash enclosure and grease trap must be removed for the renovation and drive up facility, it is cost efficient to construct the foundation for the future addition at the same time this part of the site work is being completed. The balance of this area will be landscaped consistent with City standards until the future expansion is completed. if you have any questions, please feel free to call me. Sincerely, m No Text Safeway Rocky Mountain FCU Planning and Zoning Board City of Ft. Collins, Colorado Page two The credit union provides the convenience of four Denver metro area locations and one Colorado Springs location to serve our members. The proposed location in Ft. Collins is intended to be a regional hub for the credit union to provide more convenient service to our current and potential members in Northern Colorado and Wyoming. The facility is also intended to serve as a Shared Service Branch for all Colorado Credit Unions participating in the Credit Union Service Network. The opportunity to extend services to such a wide range of citizens is the primary concern in asking the Board to approve Drive -Up facilities at this location. The credit union proposes to the Board the approval of four drive -up lanes, with one of those lanes designated for a SURCHARGE FREE ATM. The drive -up lanes could be serviced by two tellers. Each teller would be capable of completing one vehicle transaction every 80 seconds, or a potential movement of over 45 vehicles per hour per teller (360 transactions per teller per eight hour work day). An extremely busy teller day at our other locations typically consists of 300 transactions. In comparison, the drive -up rate for four lanes provides for minimal stacking and idling time which in turn should minimize pollution from the facility. In meeting its commitment to further technology, the credit union's telephone audio response system, HOTLINE, provides service to more than 15,000 phone calls and 55,000 transactions each month. This service has expanded by more than 25% in the last year. The credit union's PC HOME BANKING service, P.O.E.T., introduced in 1995, provides service to more than 2,000 phone calls and 25,000 transactions each month. Internet services, introduced in 1997, is still in its formative stages, and is growing in acceptability by membership. The response and growth of these products has reduced the need of our members to make unnecessary trips to the credit union to perform basic transactions, provided greater access, and saved hundreds of dollars in transportation costs and unnecessary automobile pollution. Safeway Rocky Mountain FCU desires the approval of the Board for the proposed location in order to meet its commitments to its charter, its members, and its potential members both today and in the future. rresiaent SAFEWAY ROCKY MOUNTAIN FEDERAL CREDIT UNION 3138 South Parker Road, Aurora, CO 80014-3180 - (303) 369-6400 - (800) 7483800 September 29, 1997 Planning and Zoning Board City of Ft.
