Upper St. Clair Board Recommends Final Approval for Deerfield Manor Plan
The move comes after a court battle.
More than a year after the Upper St. Clair Planning Commission recommended Williamson & Jefferson build new homes on Turnberry Drive ending in a cul-de-sac, the planning commissioners Thursday night voted to recommend the plan with a connection to Circle Drive.
The move comes after a battle in the Allegheny Court Court of Common Pleas. The judge's ruling? Turnberry Drive must be connected to Circle Drive.
The decision went to court after Upper St. Clair commissioners were deadlocked on a revised preliminary subdivision for the residential Deerfield Manor Plan No. 9, repeating a situation that occurred in March 2012, when a tie vote effectively defeated the measure.

The latest plan calls for five lots. The homes built on the lots are expected to cost more than $1 million.
About 350 feet of the connection between Turnberry and Circle drives will remain a private road. At least one of the Peters Township homeowners along the private stretch of the road remains adamant that the road stays private.
