Mr. Neumeister explained they placed an ad in the realtors guide and it will run for three months III a row. Commissioner Knight wondered if they are looking for more of a general sit down restaurant. Mr. Neumeister stated the realtor he has talked to indicated the lack of a lunch crowd for a sit down restaurant to be profitable during the day so they may need to have a specialized restaurant being open at night. , The Commission discussed with staff different types of restaurants that would be acceptable. LETTERS OF INTENT/PURCHASEAGREEMENTS UPDATE Mr. Neumeister noted staff continues to pursue the receipt of letters of intent for Andover Station North daily. OTHER BUSINESS . Review Request/Lineburg Manufacturing Mr. Neumeister stated staff has received a call from Lineburg Manufacturing related to whether the EDA would sell their business a parcel ofland in Andover Station North.

The Commission discussed possible areas in the development for this business.

Mr. Neumeister reviewed the land transfer between Bruggeman, the EDA and Povlitzkis'. Commissioner Knight thought Culver's might be better developed in the northern area by the ballfield. The Commission discussed with staff the possibility of adding another ballfield on the Play Ventures site and putting Culver's in front of it.
