Let's call this a modern spin on community planning; a digital drawing board where all ideas are on the table.
We present a vacant space or property and ask you to tell us what you think would be the best use. Forget what zone it's in, ignore setback regulations, dump lot coverage rules and all the other zoning jargon that puts most people to sleep. What would you like to see there? What would be the best use for the community?
Our received a couple of great suggestions, as did our subsequent posts. Now, we're hoping you'll weigh in on the space that once housed Tutor Time in Lakeview Plaza.
It sits between L.M.J. Designs, Inc. and . According to neighbors, the space has been empty for at least six months.
So, we want to know: In an ideal world, what would you like to see happen to the space? Do you think some sort of eatery would do well, or is the spot too close to ? What about an office? A retail shop? Or something else entirely?
Please leave your answer in the comments section below. Thanks for participating!
