Design Concepts | ENVISION FRANKLIN 67 MIXED RESIDENTIAL SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS Intersection of Carothers Parkway and Long Lane New development on the south side of the Long Lane and Carothers Parkway intersection should provide a comparable setback off Long Lane to that of the existing development pattern established by Ladd Park and Foxglove Farm. The intersection, the Carothers Parkway Extension, and Long Lane should all include gateway features such as fieldstone walls, wood plank fencing, enhanced landscaping, and monument signage in order to preserve some of the rural character. The location of the southern boundary as Mixed Residential is approximate. The intent is to continue developing single-family residential uses found in Ladd Park, but to also provide a mix of residential housing types supported by this design concept. These residential use types will be more compatible with the higher intensity uses located near the future intersection of Carothers Parkway and Goose Creek Bypass which are designated as Neighborhood Mixed-Use. Murfreesboro Road, Inside of Mack Hatcher Parkway The historic dwelling at the southwest corner of the intersection should be preserved and restored. The front yard should remain open space, continuing the deep setback along Murfreesboro Road. Infill development should be located behind the dwelling and its associated accessory structures. New Highway 96 West This scenic corridor should have deep setbacks of at least 300 feet for new development. Informal landscape design and rural features, such as stone walls, wood plank fencing, and informal tree plantings, should be utilized to sustain the scenic and rural quality of the area. Commercial and office uses should not front along New Highway 96 West. Seward Hall This historic home and its setting should be preserved. Infill should be single-family residential, which should be sensitively sited to preserve the viewshed. Institutional Uses New Institutional uses and the expansion of existing institutions may be appropriate if the location does not adversely impact access, scale, and traffic of the surrounding area. New uses should be located along arterials or collectors and also located at intersections or designed within a master planned development. A Traffic Impact Analysis may be required to assess the transportation impacts of the proposed development. The conversion of dwellings in existing residential neighborhoods for institutional uses is not appropriate.
