The site plan is conceptual but will not vary in detail much more than allowing a few feet mare or less on the building. Twa access points are planned for the Spur Hwy, two off Airport Way, and at the time the westerly and northerly tenants are ready, one access extending Granite Paint Street across Ryan's Creek and one parallel to Ryan's Creek running behind the Dairy Queen. The Commission questioned the space available for an access, Bill Brighton assured the Commission that there was b0' which is adequate for the access plus space for the trail and the Union substation and gas line. The tenants will be developing their own pads. The Commission asked if the southeasterly pad was the proposed site of MacDonald's as advertised in the newspaper, answer yes. The preparation of the site will include stripping the trees, however, the intent is to meet with the local extension service agent to ascertain if there are acceptable trees that can be left on the sits to enhance natural landscaping. Fire hydrants will be provided on-site due to the large site. Water & sewer will come from Airport Way.
