In July, the Glenwood Springs Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously denied ANB Bank\u2019s proposal to construct a two-story bank\/office building in the city\u2019s downtown core.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, ANB Bank will appeal that decision at Glenwood City Council\u2019s regularly scheduled meeting, which begins at 6:15 p.m. in council chambers located in city hall.<\/p>\n

ANB Bank has 32 locations across Colorado, Kansas and Wyoming including one in Glenwood Springs for nearly 30 years.<\/p>\n

Currently located at 2624 Grand Ave., ANB Bank plans to relocate from south Glenwood to downtown.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a pretty inaccessible location. It\u2019s tough for our clients to get down here from downtown and other places and it\u2019s tough for our employees to interact with surrounding businesses,\u201d said Chad Lee Balcomb & Green partner who has assisted ANB Bank with its appeal process.<\/p>\n

ANB Bank has already purchased the property at 910 Grand Ave. but will need council\u2019s approval before constructing its new facility.<\/p>\n

Two 1915-circa buildings reside on the property ANB bought between the White River National Forest headquarters and Vicki Lee Green Realtors.<\/p>\n

Those WWI-era buildings \u2014 which ANB Bank plans to demolish to make room for its proposed 9,428 square foot building \u2014 house seven small businesses including: KC\u2019s Wing House, Tesseract Comics & Games, Jewels & Gems, Bellini\u2019s Fashion, CPA Services Pro, Inc., Glenwood Spa N Nails and Glenwood Escape Room.<\/p>\n

According to Community Bank President Randy Diers, ANB has offered assistance to all seven businesses being displaced.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe package we\u2019ve put forth to help them in a time of transition (is) 12 months of free rent, free utilities and the ability to save as they plan and make the move,\u201d Diers said. \u201cAnd, for those that may leave before the May 30, 2020, lease extension, a cash payment for the difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

Diers said that a couple of the businesses had given notice that they would relocate beginning in October.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe building is going to start to go dark,\u201d Diers added.<\/p>\n

At its July 23 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission in a 7-0 vote, denied the application.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were a little blindsided by the decision,\u201d Lee said. \u201cWe received some concrete guidance but we are seeking further guidance from council and that is really the point of our appeal here.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to a staff report, at its Sept. 19 meeting council may reverse the planning and zoning commission\u2019s decision in whole or in part or modify the decision being appealed. Council also could attach conditions of approval on any appeal.<\/p>\n
