The developers of a housing project in northeast Colorado Springs have asked the City Council for permission to use eminent domain to help them secure road access for the neighborhood.

Developers are planning to build 110 attached and detached single-family homes for the Miller Downs development, proposed in an enclave north of the intersection of Dublin Boulevard and Peterson Road. The first presentation for the metropolitan district that would cover the homes was shown at the City Council work session Monday morning.
