The owners were seeking a special exception for a commercial recreation area on property on Springhouse Road.

Supervisors were unanimous in their decision not to pursue any action in this case. The board said it was in their place to file any appeal on the decision.

Christ requested direction on his screening of firefighters for anyone who might be guilty of child abuse.

He requested Solicitor Mark Fisher, examine the matter for the fire company and determine if they could do this legally.

Supervisor Steve Feinour said Lynnport Fire Company should also be allowed to screen its members.

Fisher will look into the matter for the next meeting.
