And this lot is larger than the one The Domino’s pizza went in on. And to Michelle: 297a is not a stop sign, but they never put up a “this is not a stop” for whatever reason. Nor spikes there. There needs to be an Enter Publix at the red light.so folks quit running from 297a all the way across to the main entrance. Where is the holding pond on these drawings.?

Would help draw customers to both. I think it is a great idea, Maybe they will work to connect the back drive of the Dollar general to have entrance and exit on 297A.

I also love the idea of there being an open mic stage for us local musicians to showcase our talent! However, the location and layout could be reconsidered. I am not an engineer by any means but I do believe the design could be altered due to potential pedestrian vs MV accidents within the parking lot itself. Maybe parking on an adjacent lot would benefit everyone and still make it enjoyable for the community.

Storage facility fits the bill. Image the added traffic congestion, noise and hazards this endeavor creates not to mention the residential area and other disadvantages. No positives to this adventure. Involve the D.O.T in this proposal. This idea is just as bad as considering a " Round About " anywhere in Escambia County in particular the intersection of Hwy 297A and Pine Forest Road. Can you image an area as small as this is

Put the food trucks and tables to the back of the lot and parking in the front. DUH! and what about the sanitary part for the trucks?

I wanna complain about the airport, Naval Air Station and train tracks, Navy Federal, grocery stores, churches, etc. Not really. , In the movie Field of Dreams it was said If you build it they will come.

Also as mentioned in comments, a possible roundabout planned for 297A area. Changes are coming. Traffic will be much worse once the much need improvements begins. Although a Food Truck Court may be a nice idea, just not sure if the location is a good one. http://www.northescambia.com/2020/02/what-is-a-diverging-diamond-interchange-fdot-studying-them-for-i-10-exits-at-pine-forest-and-nine-mile I suggest everyone check out NorthEscambia’s previous articles about Pine Forest having a diverging diamond interchange.

No parks, no entertainment, nothing for families and venues in this area. I live close by and have to take our grandkids to a playground we have to go near the equestrian center. District 5 has grown greatly, and will be growing more. Escambia County can only grow from the corner of nine mile and pine forest to Century. So we need parks, entertainment venues and the like. Why do we have to go to downtown, Destin ,and Alabama for recreation. Our district can offer opportunities for business as well as the tax payers who live there. I hope it gets approved.
