The Seminole County Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved a staff-recommended special exception to allow Vantage Bank to reoccupy an existing building at the corner of State Road 434 and East Lake Brantley Drive. Principal Planner Annie Silaway told the board the site, about 1.52 acres with OP (office) future land use, previously received special-exception approval for a bank in 1984 and again in 1996 after a vacancy caused the earlier special exception to expire.

"The request complies with the additional use standards criteria for sites located in the OP Office zoning district, and the use is compatible with the low intensity nature of the zoning district," Annie Silaway said, adding that no site improvements are proposed and the existing building will be reoccupied.

Greg Nowak, representing Vantage Properties and the applicant, gave his name and address for the record and moved that the board approve the special exception and associated development order; the motion was seconded and passed unanimously.

The board's action reinstates bank use on the site subject to the conditions in the development order; no site-work or façade changes were included in the application presented to the board.
