I really just want some more choices and am not interested in fast food as we have those which I avoid. We need some sit down restaurants, family friendly as Marina is a bedroom community. I commute to Santa Cruz 5 days a week and while I don't want to see Marina with a Mission Street; I do want some decent restaurants closeby.

I myself would like to have a Barnes & Noble which would complement the university. Additionally, I think having sit-down places to eat would benefit the community.

I work at the Best Buy in the Dunes shopping. It sucks that I have to get in my car and drive into Marina or Seaside to get a bite to eat especially when I only get a 45 minute lunch. Marina doesn't realize the extra income they would be receiving from these shops and the increased traffic coming into the theater area. City of Marina MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS

Upon touring the college and investigating the new local housing I noticed that there is little to no place to eat near either. The Dunes area of Marina is developing nicely and it looks like this new proposed center would fill a much needed void in the area. The food choices look amazing and we are hoping to see the new center up and running soon. Lastly, it is good to see that there will be car charging stations available as well.

Please no more fast food-- no McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, etc. Let's have something that isn't found elsewhere on the peninsula. A Sprouts, perhaps? There are no health food stores in Marina, Salinas or Seaside. I'll bet people would gladly come from all 3 places to shop at a Sprouts- type store.

I would love to see non chain restaurants... Let the local businesses have these spaces! Let's grow this community.

Scott, persuade Joey Nguyen to open his next Poke Lab at The Dunes. http://www.thepokelab.com/ http://www.montereyherald.com/article/NF/20160126/FEATURES/160129829 http://www.montereycountyweekly.com/blogs/food_blog/much-awaited-poke-lab-opens-in-downtown-monterey/article_aef663b2-bee9-11e5-bf4e-7b29a37b002c.html

First off the design the existing Dunes shopping center is idiotic. It is car and parking lot centric. To walk from REI to Best Buy is rarely done because it is not pedestrian friendly. And when one does walk on the sidewalks at The Dunes there are large expanses of walls with no store front, eg the hundreds of feet of Target. In comparison walking within Delmonte shopping Center is enjoyable and safe. Scott Negri's plan to incorporate a parking lot and two drive-thrus amoung the restaurants and shops of his design isn't pedrestrian friendly. His design is an island in itself. There appears to be next to no effort to provide a friendly pedestrian passage from the existing stores to his new complex. The only exception to this is a side walk that runs along 2nd Avenue from REI to Scott's development and in the process of getting there a pedestrian must walk across the driveway at the entrance to REI then has to cross General Stillwell Drive and then either one of the two Drive-thru's. And why is ther no sidewalk on the south side of Scott's plan. Yes we need restaurants but Scott's Development plans needs to be redesigned!!!
