Summary

The November 2013 Beaver Beacon reports that St. James Township unanimously approved a “Green Space” designation for lots 168 and 169 at the west end of Donegal Bay Road. The report describes the designation as leaving the land in its natural state and lists several recreational and development features that were not planned.

Evidence limits

The newspaper reports the designation and stated intentions; this record does not treat it as proof that the lots can never be reconsidered or developed under later proceedings.
