moving traffic quickly and efficiently and noting that the Commission
does not recommend a round -a -bout if the ultimate recommendation is that
a four lane road with medians be constructed,
• At the corner of Shady Lane and the State Highway 114 access
road, the recommended T -1 Overlay would also include a notation stating
that in a T -1 Overlay plan, any lots currently designated as low density
residential will be a part of the residential portion of the T -1 plan and any
of the commercial component would access directly onto the State
Highway 114 frontage road or Kimball Avenue,
• and, on the Sam's School Road recommendation, under our
Mobility Plan, which noted a two lane road with a turning lane at Dove,
that an asterisk is to be placed also stating that four lanes may be required
with more intense uses on the adjacent properties.
