spaces that would be leased out. Mr. Rudnicki would build approximately 8,170 square feet of
retail space, and the drawing shows an additional 19,000 square feet are possible on the site
adjacent to Bunker Lake Boulevard. Staff continues to market the site adjacent to Bunker to
other retail shopping center developers.
Mr. Neumeister updated the Commission on the progress.

going to get any restaurant site. Mr. Neumeister explained how the Casey building will probably
look.

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.

North daily.
