ATM to be moved from alcove at 1 West Market; plan approved to meet ADA standards
Loading...
Summary
At a local permit-review meeting members voted unanimously to approve moving an ATM at 1 West Market into a new storefront, enlarging and raising the concrete pad for ADA compliance, and transferring existing signage to the new location; the drop box in the alcove will remain keyed.
Members of the panel unanimously approved an application to relocate an ATM at 1 West Market and modify the storefront so the machine will meet Americans with Disabilities Act standards.
The general contractor for Morristown Bank told the panel the ATM will be removed from an alcove that he said "was being used as a urinal and bathroom" and repositioned near the building's right front entrance inside a new commercial storefront to match the adjacent Iron Horse restaurant. He said the project includes removing the existing plate glass, installing a matching storefront, enlarging and bringing up the existing concrete pad and installing the ATM at an ADA‑compliant height.
The panel discussed canopy projection and signage placement; a commission member confirmed the existing drop box in the alcove will remain but be keyed so users must unlock the door to access it rather than the alcove remaining open for pedestrian entry. The commission's consultant recommended approval of the plan.
A commission member moved to accept the application as presented; another member seconded. The chair called for a voice vote and the motion carried with all members indicating "aye." The applicant was advised to contact the municipal office after the city council review so the permit can be finalized.
