Staff DAC Agenda for June 1, 2016 Page 2 of 2 3) MI-16-06 Abandonment of Topaz Circle Stub Street at Emerald Pointe – Review of a proposal to abandon the stub street connecting Topaz Circle and planned street Senior Way. The abandonment would result in the Emerald Pointe subdivision having only one connection onto a major road, McKee Road and would eliminate the interconnection to The Arbors via the planned street of Senior Way and to College Road. This matter was referred by the Safety Advisory and Transportation Committee of City Council to the Development Advisory Committee and Planning Commission for a recommendation. Council District 1. Emerald Point Subdivision (SB-02-01) was approved by the Planning Commission in 2002 with Final Plan approvals in 2003-2004 and has since been developed. Application S-16-07 The Arbors Senior Garden Apartments was conditionally approved by the Planning Commission on March 21, 2016.
