| | |
| | ON JUNE 28, 2010, I VISITED THE CHASE BANK, LOCATED AT |
| | 1325 N. CONGRESS AVE REF THE PLANNING BOARD CASE 8910. |
| | DUE TO THE CLOSING OF THE MALL THIS AREA IS DESOLATE IN |
| | THE EVENING HOURS, VERY LITTLE TRAFFIC IN THE IMMEDIATE |
| | AREA LEADS TO SAFETY CONCERNS OF PATRONS USING THE ATM |
| | MACHINES AFTER CLOSING OF THE BANK. BELOW ARE MY |
| | COMMENTS. |
| | |
| | 1. THE WALK UP ATM WILL BE FREE STANDING, IN FRONT OF |
| | THE FORMER LOCATION WHICH WAS SET BACK FROM THE FRONT |
| | OF THE BANK, THIS AREA NEEDS TO BE CLOSED IN, NOT |
| | ALLOWING HIDING SPACE BEHIND THE ATM. |
| | |
| | 2. PLACE MIRRORS FOR THE USER TO BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT IS |
| | BEHIND THEM AS THEY USE THE WALK UP ATM MACHINE, AND A |
| | MIRROR LOCATED TO SEE WHAT IS COMING THROUGH THE DRIVE |
| | THROUGH LANES. (THIS IS A BLIND SPOT FOR THE USER) |
| | |
| | 3. CONSIDER BOLLARDS AROUND THE WALK UP ATM TO PREVENT |
| | THE REMOVAL OF AN ATM MACHINE BY FORCE. |
| | |
| | 4. THE TREES ARE OVERGROWN THROUGH OUT THE PROPERTY, |
| | HINDERING THE LIGHTING AROUND BOTH ATM LOCATIONS, THESE |
| | WILL NEED TO BE TRIMMED BACK TO ALLOW FOR AS MUCH |
| | LIGHTING AS POSSIBLE. THE TREES AND SHRUBS ALONG |
| | CONGRESS BY THE DRIVE THROUGH NEED TO BE TRIMMED AND |
| | THE SHRUBS CUT DOWN TO ALLOW FOR NATURAL SURVEILLANCE |
| | OF THE DRIVE THRU LANE. |
| | |
| | BELOW ARE STANDARD COMMENTS FOR INSTALLATION OF ATM |
| | MACHINES, PLEASE FOLLOW THOSE GUIDELINES. |
| | |
| | AUTOMATED TELLER MACHINES |
| | ATM LOCATIONS SHALL BE IN AREAS WITH THE GREATEST |
| | NATURAL SURVEILLANCE AND INDEPENDENT FROM THE BUILDING. |
| | A. AUTOMATED TELLER MACHINES (ATM'S) SHALL COMPLY WITH |
| | FSS 655-965. |
| | B. ATM'S SHALL BE LOCATED ON MAIN ROADS IF APPLICABLE |
| | AND BE VISIBLE FROM THE ROADWAY. |
| | C. ATM'S SHALL NOT BE HIDDEN BY ANY LANDSCAPING OR |
| | OTHER FIXED OBJECT THAT WOULD PREVENT CLEAR VISIBILITY. |
| | D. ATM'S SHALL HAVE HIGH-RESOLUTION COLOR DIGITAL VIDEO |
| | CAMERA SYSTEM INSTALLED. |
| | E. ATM'S SHALL HAVE HIGH ILLUMINATION OF WALKWAYS |
| | LEADING TO AND FROM IT. |
| | F. LIGHTING SHALL BE POSITIONED SO AS NOT TO CAUSE |
| | GLARE ON VIDEO RECORDING. |
| | G. CONVEX MIRROR SHALL BE INSTALLED AND STRATEGICALLY |
| | PLACED TO ALLOW ATM OPERATOR TO IDENTIFY ANY |
| | APPROACHING PERSON(S) AND/OR POTENTIAL SUSPECT(S). |
| | H. ATM'S SHALL HAVE AN ALARM SYSTEM COMPONENTS, SHOCK |
| | AND SEISMIC SENSORS, SUFFICIENT WEIGHT AND TENSILE |
| | STRENGTH, HEAT DETECTORS, DOOR CONTACTS AND LOCKING |
| | MECHANISMS, TO DETER ATTACKS TO THE MACHINE ITSELF. |
| | DEVICES ARE NEEDED TO PROVIDE EARLY WARNING OF AN |
| | IMPENDING ATTACK. |
| | I. ATM'S SHOULD HAVE DURESS ALARMS AND A SECURE CLOSET |
| | TO SERVICE THE MACHINE. |
