A look back: March 20, 2007

The Jim Thorpe Planning Commission recommended approval of the plans for the 86-lot Canyon Rim Estates Development proposed by Jake Arner along the top of the Flagstaff Mountain on Monday evening.

The action came after the borough’s engineer addressed the right of way along Flagstaff Road, to which Arner said plans call for the current 20-foot-wide road to have a 50-foot right of way where he owns property on both sides of the roadway.

He agreed to donate $156,000 to the borough for improvements to the road, including paving, guide rails and line painting.
