Any new commercial driveway along Crooked Lane should be limited to the first 500 feet from Nolen Drive. 500 ft Urban Design Recommendations Maintain the existing tree corridor along Kimball Avenue and Crooked Lane. Planning & Zoning Commission Action Planning & Zoning Commission July 21, 2011; Approved (7-0) with everything being the same except for a change from the Low Density Residential cluster on the north of Crooked Lane and the Office Commercial designations in the presentation be changed to Mixed Use. Aside from that change, the remainder of the draft be accepted as presented. The reason for this is, per our discussion this evening, to provide the greatest market flexibility of the future property development as it may present in the future.
