The property directly across <br />Long Lake Road is zoned R-l but is part of the Sunrise Methodist Church property. The <br />area closest to Bridgeman's is forested and contains a large wetland. The property to the <br />south is zoned B-2 and R-4, and is developed as Silver View Plaza, a shopping center, and <br />Wildwood Manor, an apartment building for senior citizens.
