   The City of Española Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously voted at its Feb. 11 meeting to recommend a plan for a new branch of Del Norte Credit Union at 1720 N Riverside Drive. The recommendation moves the decision to the full city council.
   The plan was previously considered at the Jan. 14 Commission meeting, but was tabled following several concerns from commissioners and area residents about storm water drainage and traffic flow.
   Representing Del Norte Credit Union, engineer Mike Walla presented revised plans for the construction. A water retention pond will collect excess runoff from the parking lot, with a slow-release drain outflowing to Camino Miramontes in the event of extreme storms that overfill the pond. According to Walla, these drainage plans had been approved by Souder, Miller and Associates, the contracted engineers for the city.
