Peters Township Council made a motion to reconsider its original vote, however, majority ruled not in favor.
Not an empty seat in Peters Township Council chambers as concerned residents filed in Monday night. Council posted on its agenda that it would be reviewing its previous vote—made July 24—to eliminate the Berry Lane interconnection between The Woodlands and new Whispering Pines plans. "Council can reconsider votes," said council President Robert Lewis. "Nothing assures you that it's the final decision." Township Solicitor William Johnson and Lewis went back and forth on the legality of conducting a new vote. The Peters Home Rule Charter states a vote once taken is final. Lewis made the motion to reconsider the vote via "yay" or "nay." Council voted 4-2—Lewis and Robert Atkison dissenting—to not reconsider its previous decision to not …

Peters Township Council heard residents' concerns Monday and approved a builder's reduced setbacks request with one condition—an interconnection be eliminated.
Editor's Note: This story was last updated at 2 p.m. Tuesday. Peters Township Council approved 4-2 Monday, chairman Robert Atkison and council President Robert Lewis dissenting, a request by Ted Taylor, III to permit reduced setbacks on certain lots in the Whispering Pines plan with the condition that the Berry Lane interconnection be eliminated. The plan was modified to use 35-foot setbacks on 13 lots, 18 lots with full 50-foot setbacks and eight lots with various setbacks. Taylor told council the setbacks were decided with the homeowner and his/her desired amenities in mind, i.e. three-car garages and more backyard space for porches, decks, pools, play sets, etc.—the typography also being a factor. The justification is that the reduced …

The road has reopened after months of bridge construction and detours.
Many Peters Township residents are breathing a sigh of relief Tuesday morning—Bebout Road has reopened. After months of construction and detours, the Arrowhead Trail bridge/connector has been built and Bebout Road is clear for use. The trail, however, remains closed for at least a couple more weeks for staining, according to the township. Bebout Road is scheduled to close again Monday, April 23 in an effort to completely finish the project. Township officials said those plans are weather-permitting.

Bebout Road, near Valley Brook Road, is set to close again beginning Feb. 7. The closure will continue for several months while the Arrowhead Trail bridge is constructed. The road was first closed in the fall while the concrete trail overpass was demolished. The township told residents the closures would take place in late February, however steel for the project is being delivered sooner than planned, according to the township. The township is preparing signs, and detours (Justabout and Thomas roads) will be posted. Businesses will remain open on Valley Brook Road during the road closure. The school district staff said bus routes were established this year with these closures in mind. Any delays in student bus schedules, they said, should…

Demolition will cause road closures for three weeks.
The trail overpass at Bebout and Valley Brook roads in Peters will begin demolition Monday, Oct. 24, causing road closures for three weeks, according to township Manager Michael Silvestri.
