tentative conditions, R.E
Wright and a spokesman for
the protesting party
presented comments and
suggestions.
The only condition among
the 45 to fall under mutual
disagreement was item 23
which concerned the green
belt which would mask
operations within the landfill
from the view of Penryn
Road residents.
Both parties argued the
wording of the item and
Wright accepted the
restriction as reasonable
after modification. Shank

represented left after
discussion of these items
even though there were
three other items under
discussion concerning
rights-of-way and invoices.
Item 23 now reads, “The
landfill operator shall
provide a visual buffer zone
between the eastern right of
way line of Penryn Road and
the fence which is to be
erected along Penryn Road
pursuant to Condition No. 20
above prior to accepting the
first refuse at the landfill
sight.

restrictions to the special exception for the Penryn
Landfill.
“Said screening shall
include uninterrupted
evergreen plantings which
together with seeded topsoil
storage area within the
landfill shall be of sufficient
height and density to give
maximum screening so as to
block the landfill operations
from the view of residents
along Penryn Road.
“Such screening shall be
permanently maintained
and replaced when and
where necessary to present
an attractive appearance at
all times.
“As the landfill operators
shift to other portions of the
landfill site, additional
screening of the same type
shall be provided in order to
always block those
operations from the view of
residents along Penryn
Road. Before any seeded
topsoil storage area is
removed, the evergreens
shall be of sufficient height
and density so as to block the
landfill operations from view
of residents of Penryn Road
in the area previously
screened by topsoil.”

Wngbt Associates applied
for a special exception under
the Zoning Ordinances of
Penn and Elizabeth
Townships to operate the
sanitary landfill, totaling
about 92 acres, 493 in Penn
Township and 44 in Elizabeth
Township.
In September of that year
both townships denied the
request.
The following year, July
18, 1977, Judge Paul A.
Mueller, Jr. reversed the
decision in the Court of
Common Pleas and
reminded the township
zoning hearing boards to
impose “reasonable con
ditions” to the special ex
ception for the landfill.
Appealed by a citizens’
group opposing the landfill,
the Lower Court’s decision
was affirmed by Com
monwealth Court on April 19,
1979. The Supreme Court
denied Petition for
Allowance of Appeal on
August 20,1979.
