Purpose
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide information to the Franklin Board of Mayor and Aldermen (BOMA) concerning an annexation request for the property located at 4331 Long Lane.

These types of land uses, and the mix of them in a master-planned development, would be generally supported by Envision Franklin, provided that they are in a layout that provides appropriate transitions to existing single-family neighborhoods per Envision Franklin policies. Portions of the subject property are within the Hillside Overlay and Hillside Overlay Buffer and must plan to be part of preserved open space and community amenities.
