Here are some details from Monday's introduction of the plan, from the at the meeting:

Lou Schaffer, a project manager with Frederick Ward Associates in Bel Air, presents the preliminary site plan for Lot B in the Northgate Business Park.

Schaffer said, "This is a continued development of the North Gate Business Park. This is the retail portion of the project approved years ago."

Schaffer added that three retail buildings will be built on the lot, which is current a vacant, B-3 zoned property. He said the project will be phased.

"We see this being an amenity to the park, rather than it being something that draws people into the location," said Paul Thompson, of Architectural Design Works, the architect on the property.

Thompson said the project entails approximately 11,000 square feet.

A pad site in the middle of the property is set up for either a bank or a casual restaurant, with drive-thru lanes built into the site plan.
