AND NOW, this 12th day of October, 2017, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED, LIMITED TO the issues set forth below. Allocatur is DENIED as to all remaining issues. The issues, as stated by petitioner, rephrased for clarity, are:

(1) By failing to file preliminary objections pursuant to section 306 of the Eminent Domain Code, 26 Pa.C.S. § 306, did Respondents waive their right to assert ownership and seek additional just compensation for the condemnation of two parcels which were allegedly mistakenly depicted as belonging to two other legal entities in plans ■ attached to the declaration of taking?
(2) Did Petitioner’s alleged mistake in the plans attached to a declaration of taking, constitute the failure to adequately establish the- extent or effect of the taking, thereby excusing Respondents from filing preliminary objections under section 306 of the Eminent Domain Code. See Pennsylvania Dep’t Gen. Seros., 714 A.2d 1169 (Pa. Commw. 1998) and Pennsylvania Dep’t Trans, v. Greenfield Twp. Prop. Owners, 136 Pa.Cmwlth. 113, 682 ' A.2d 41 (1990)?
