         d. Movie-town Theaters - Mark Johnson from RGS Associates would like to address the      Board regarding plans for the rezoning and development of the SICO site.
The site is between Schaum's Corner and the bowling alley.  Most of the site is zoned Commercial, but 4-5 acres are zoned Industrial.  The plan is for a 1000 seat theatre and 3 restaurant pads, one of which would be fast food.  By comparison, the Manor theatres are over 2000 seats. 
The road into the development would align with Church Street and would extend to the edge of the property such that the road could be continued in the future as a part of a relief route between 272 and 772 west of Schaum's Corner.  I commended the board for pursuing the through-road option as I had previously petitioned.
