Trojnacki v. Board of Supervisors Solebury Township

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• stating that although the Statutory-Construction Act of 1972, 1 Pa. C.S. §§ 1501-1991, does not expressly apply to zoning ordinances, the principles contained in that act are followed when construing a local ordinance
• noting certain land use restrictions allowed by an ordinance were permissible, and holding as a result that “approval by the Board is still ... discretionary rather than mandatory, and not a simple ministerial act”
• noting the developer’s offer of a contribution in lieu of replanting trees likewise ran afoul of the MPC because Section 503-A(b) expressly prohibits a municipality from imposing any contribution in lieu of off-site improvements
