John Duke Tyler Boulevard road connection / eminent domain
Summary
The county wants to take a tiny strip of HOA-owned land (about 1,006 square feet) to finish a road connection through Hickory Wild. Residents fear traffic, safety risks near their park and pool, and lower property values; county planners say the strip is a 2009 platting error, negotiation comes first, and the connection improves emergency access. The vote happens next Monday.
