This proposal is a second revision to the Emory Green Subdivision west side of the townhomes (12-SD-20-C/12-F-20-UR). The Emory Green Subdivision is a newly constructed residential development with townhomes and single family homes at W Emory Road and Old Cobbs Ferry Road. The townhomes were constructed on one lot. This proposal is to subdivide the existing 30 townhomes on individual lots and create a private road that is 26 ft wide within a 40 ft right-of-way.
