noted that there may be ability to add a right-in/right-out on Bunker Lake Boulevard but that <br />distance from the intersection and the limited access would not be conducive to retail. He stated <br />that the input that they have received from brokers and potential developers is that the northwest <br />portion of the site is not attractive for retail because of the reduced visibility from Highway 10 <br />and that it is not convenient to access. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill stated that in 2021 or 2022 there are plans to expand <br />Bunker Lake Boulevard to four lanes, which changes the existing conditions. <br />Member Cords asked if that entire section of Bunker Lake Boulevard would be four lanes <br />divided by a median. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill confirmed that to be true. He noted that there is a <br />section in the industrial park area that does not have plans to expand to four lanes at this time, <br />but the County is reviewing that section. He stated that the intersection treatments will be <br />determined during the design process. <br />Member Cords stated that he likes the proposal with the lower left-hand quadrant being reserved <br />for retail. <br />Acting Chairperson Riley confirmed the direction of the EDA to reserve one quadrant of the site <br />for future retail rather than requiring retail on the entire site. <br />Economic Development Manager Sullivan noted that the Planning Commission will also review <br />this topic again and were interested to hear the input of the EDA. He stated the three quadrant <br />residential and one quadrant retail that the EDA supported were actually created by the Planning <br />Commission in a worksession. <br />5.
