PER CURIAM
AND NOW, this 13th day of October, 2020, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is
GRANTED, LIMITED TO the issues set forth below. The parties are directed to state their
positions -- and to stipulate if possible -- regarding whether LaShawn Burton-Faulk served

Adjustment proceedings. Allocatur is DENIED as to all remaining issues. The issues, as
stated by Petitioners, are:
(1) Whether the Commonwealth Court erred in affirming the trial court’s
order upholding the grant Owner of the zoning relief requested despite the
conflict of interest of ZBA member Burton-Faulk?
(2) Whether the Commonwealth Court erred in affirming the trial court’s
order upholding the grant to Owner of the zoning relief requested where the
ZBA failed to issue a written decision within forty-five (45) days of the public
hearing and where applicant did not agree in writing or on the record to an
extension of time within forty-five (45) days of the public hearing?
