Questions for staff by the Committee:
N/A
Applicant presentation:
• 5 building concept plan
• Current concern is the limited access to this site from S. Nolen Dr.
o Fear – stub in off Crooked Ln.
o Preferably, we would not like to tie in off Crooked Ln. (do not want traffic
on Crooked Ln.)
• We want to know of any future developments along Village Dr. so we can come
back to you with a better concept and respond to the surrounding developments
Questions for applicant by the Committee:
Shawn McCaskill: So, you do not want to have access onto Crooked Ln., so I guess S.
Nolen Dr. through a variance?
Applicant: Possible variance to tie into the medical office, but we are having difficulty
contacting them about providing wider entrance off S. Nolen Dr.

Meeting #24 – September 12, 2019 Page 4
Shawn McCaskill: But that would mess this all up (including first building)
Applicant: Yes, it would so I would come back to respond and reconfigure the entire
site.
John Huffman: I like keeping the access off Crooked Ln. and onto S. Nolen Dr.
Applicant: To limit off Crooked L.?
Chad Patton: Yes, completely. Have your main point of entry from S. Nolen Dr.
Applicant: Got it, through S. Nolen Dr.
Shawn McCaskill: I think we all agree that’s the way to go. We’d be open to discussing
a variance to bring the access from S. Nolen Dr. as opposed to Crooken Ln. I
understand this is a concept and it’s very early, but do you have any ideas on
impervious coverage numbers? Is it comparable to surrounding developments?
Applicant: It would be close to comparable. A lot of the trees are on the east side of the
property, so we would try and maintain as much of those as possible. We want to
disturb as little as possible along Crooked Ln.
Chad Patton: Director Baker, where is the east/west corridor going in?
Ken Baker: It is north; there will be a portion built with the office development north of
the center. We think the majority will be built by developers, but there is a small portion
just south of Georgetown Park which will require right-of-way and be built much like
Zena Rucker (to make a connection so two roads will connect). A lot of it will be
developer driven and built, so timing in uncertain.
Chad Patton: There’s not a stop sign currently to turn onto Crooked Ln. from S. Nolen
Dr. is there?
Applicant: Yes, there is.
Chad Patton: So, we would have that stop sign stay in place and have setback issues
from the entry point with ingress and egress…
Applicant: For clarification, there is not a stop sign on S. Nolen Dr., there is one on
Crooked Ln.
John Huffman: I think the use is consistent with what’s around it. Just continue to work
with staff about access and planning for that future east/west thoroughfare.
Applicant: Do you know of any future developments near the S-P-1 just north of
building A?
Shawn McCaskill: I don’t think we have seen or heard of anything…
Dennis Killough: No, we have not engaged with anyone on development on that.
Chad Patton: If you make some progress and come back through with what the
concept will look like with ingress/egress we can give you feedback on that.
Applicant: Any other access points that you would require, besides that for emergency
services?

Chad Patton: Default to Fire Department for answer.
Austin Reynolds: How much square footage do you have?
Applicant: Each building is roughly around 20,000 SF.
Chad Patton: And that meets all the requirements regarding size…
Applicant: I will make sure we meet all parking requirements. I showed some detention
area along Crooked Ln. because that seems to be where the drainage goes. We will do
all the studies as required.
Shawn McCaskill: I know we’re very early but building materials would be helpful (be
aware of those and what we expect).
Applicant: Absolutely.
Chad Patton: The concept is neat.
Applicant: The client would like to construct a modern, more contemporary building.
