Marty's was probably a good 100' or more off the original Bluemound Rd :) I hadn’t thought of that! Marty’s was probably a good 100′ or more off the original Bluemound Rd :)

In fact, it was only four lanes undivided when Marty's was built. Marty’s existed in place before Bluemound was 6 lanes plus. In fact, it was only four lanes undivided when Marty’s was built.

Good point about Marty's. I'm betting that was grandfathered in given the age of the building. But it's true, it wouldn't be too odd if the new building were about that setback. Your heck statement is funny. That's one rivalry that just won't die, huh? Bdad, I wouldn’t call it empty – I think there’s excess parking capacity so it appears that way. Good point about Marty’s.

I've sort of given up on Bluemound Rd, anyway, but there's several things I like about this (assuming the building is architecturally pleasing). I don't even include Half Price in my thoughts, as you'd hope the landlord would find a retailer to take that space once it's open. In fact, I think that strip mall isn't doing too bad compared to others, when it come to vacancy. Anyway, let me stop rambling. It says the setback will be 79'. Looking at where that is going, for as long as I can remember, that's been a 'dead' corner. Even in the peak of Christmas season, it's empty, no one parking there. Just across the street Marty's must be less than 30' off of Bluemound. I would think 79' would be similar to the M&I down the street, if not even further back. I don't think putting it there distracts from the overall center layout and would be a nice fill in. Yes, it violates normal standards, but that corner is anything but normal to begin with. And heck we are relocating a business from the town to the city, right? I’m neutral, if not postive on this one.
