Opinion

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

AND NOW, this 16th day of May, 2016, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issues, as stated by Petitioner, are:

1. Was it proper for the board of commissioners to consider the boundary as shown in the tax assessment records not as evidence of the location of the original line but as a practical alternative in order to resolve the continuing uncertainty as to the location of the boundary?

2. Was it proper for the board of commissioners—when faced with the inability to determine the original boundary—to consider the acquiescence of the municipalities to the boundary as reflected in the tax maps, the reliance by the landowners in the affected area on that tax map boundary, and the inducement of such reliance by the municipalities in order to resolve the continuing uncertainty as to the location of the original boundary?

Petitioner’s Motion for Leave to Supplement Petition for Allowance of Appeal is DENIED as moot.
