Peters Township Council reversed an earlier decision and decided to use eminent domain to acquire land to connect two housing developments. At issue is .033 acres of land owned by Jason and Sherri Snyder of Manor Way. Peters Township wants to take that land and use it to connect the Juniper Woods development to Manor Way to allow multiple points of ingress and egress to the Juniper Woods development. The Snyders and several neighbors of the Beacon Manor and Marrella Manor plans once again registered their protest over the taking of the land to provide that interconnect. They stated safety problems of the existing roads being too narrow and not to township standard. They pointed to speeding already existing on those roads, much of it due to the steep terrain of the neighborhood. Kenneth Yarsky, attorney representing the Snyders spoke on their behalf and warned council that if an eminent domain taking was approved, they would be met with challenges in court. Council approved the taking this time by the same 4-3 vote that they had when a similar measure was voted on and defeated at the May 10 council meeting. In a roll call vote, Councilman Robert Lewis reversed his previous no vote to yes.
