It appears there are quite a few lots where the additional property is not available and in order to make it usable, perhaps a rea- sortable requirement would be to reduce the 200' to 100'. Chairman. Kelly questioned if they were talking about just one store or a group of stores. Mr. Barrett replied that they were basically talking about one store, but couldn't rule out a small shopping center.
