EAGLES NEST TWP— Neighbors of a soon-to-be developed township access road to Eagles Nest Lake One repeatedly expressed frustration here Tuesday evening, but that didn’t stop the town board from approving the conversion of two small pieces of undeveloped park land to a road right-of-way.
The issue may have seemed like a minor one, but it drew two dozen township residents to Tuesday’s public hearing, which was required to convert parkland to some other public use. In this case, according to town board chair Richard Floyd, the township wanted to convert an additional 20 feet on both sides of the final 75 feet of the road to allow for fire trucks to turn around.
