Ryan Construction has applied for site <br />plan approval to develop Lot 2, Block 1, Sunfish Business Park Second Addition for Rotary <br />Systems. R.J. Ryan Construction and Rotary Systems are proposing to construct a 30,240 square <br />foot multi-tenant building on the 2+ acre lot. Rotary Systems will own the building and occupy <br />approximately 1/3 of the structure; the remaining space will be leased to other tenants. The <br />property is zoned E-1 Employment and office/warehouse is a permitted use in that district.
