Peters Township Awards Bid For Park

Peters Township Council took on the next phase of the development of Rolling Hills Park. Council awarded a bid of nearly $7 million dollars to create as Township Manager Paul Lauer describes, “the spine of which everything in Rolling Hills Park will be developed.” A loop road will be developed to access three picnic pavilions, restrooms, a walking trail that will connect to Arrowhead Trail and a maintenance garage. The loop road will be the method to access these and any other future developments that will take place in the coming years. Council also updated their ordinance governing placement of wireless communication facilities. The amendments were to make sure that any restrictions placed on the deployment of 5G technology towers are in compliance with FCC regulations. The issue for the future will be how township developments that have underground utilities will access 5G technology. Fifty foot towers need to be placed several hundred feet apart to allow the technology to work. Neighborhoods that prohibit above ground utilities will find it difficult to obtain 5G technology because of the technology’s  reliance on those towers. Council also adopted design standards for any towers that can be installed.
