As ANB Bank works on design plans for its proposed new bank facility in downtown Glenwood Springs, the existing property\u2019s current tenants continue to search for new homes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so hard to find a location that\u2019s appropriate here,\u201d Glenwood Spa N Nails manager Tien Nguyen said.<\/p>\n

Although still open for business in the 900 block of Grand Avenue, Glenwood Spa N Nails as well as the Glenwood Escape Room, CPA Services Pro, Inc., Bellini\u2019s Fashion, Jewels & Gems and KC\u2019s Wing House & Sports Bar must leave their current spaces by May 30.<\/p>\n

ANB Bank purchased the property at 910 Grand Ave. with plans to demolish the two 1915-circa buildings in order to construct a new bank and accompanying parking lot.<\/p>\n

Jewels & Gems owner Cheryl Guay said Monday that she had looked at a couple of locations to possibly relocate to, but is currently focused on getting ready for the coming holiday season at her existing store.<\/p>\n

Guay, who has done business in downtown Glenwood Springs for over three decades, said her small jewelry shop would not relocate until later next year.<\/p>\n

One previous 900 block tenant \u2014 Tesseract Comics and Games \u2014 has already relocated to 809 Grand Ave., Unit No. 1 in the space formerly housed by 970 Vapor Cigs.<\/p>\n

In July, the city\u2019s Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously denied ANB Bank\u2019s original 9,428-square-foot building proposal. Glenwood Springs City Council upheld that decision in September after ANB Bank appealed it.<\/p>\n

Bound by the city\u2019s development code, the Planning and Zoning Commission denied ANB Bank\u2019s original proposal based upon the building\u2019s scale, orientation and design in relation to its surroundings.<\/p>\n

Commissioners also did not believe the plans created a high-quality pedestrian environment, particularly with the proposed building\u2019s entrance being away from Grand Avenue.<\/p>\n

Last week, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a work session with ANB Bank representatives and the project\u2019s lead designer Blake Mourer who serves as principal of Open Studio Architecture based out of Denver.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that we\u2019re having a dialogue with the (Planning and Zoning Commission) to understand their goals and objectives\u2026we can actually react to that,\u201d Mourer said. \u201cIn the normal context when we come and just show up with a design and react, we\u2019re off or misaligned. So, now we can be aligned and hold ourselves accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to community bank president Randy Diers, ANB Bank will likely submit a new project application to the commission at its Dec. 17 meeting.<\/p>\n

Regardless of the outcome, Bellini\u2019s Fashion Owner Deb Burkholder said her business would close for the foreseeable future at the end of November.<\/p>\n

Instead of preparing for the busier holiday season, Burkholder said that her small business would have a liquidation sale beginning this week, which would also run through the end of November.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will not be relocating in Glenwood,\u201d Burkholder said.<\/p>\n
