Opinion

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

AND NOW, this 5th day of May 2008, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issues, rephrased for clarity, are:

Whether the Commonwealth Court, in establishing a new standard on an issue of first impression should have provided the Township with an opportunity to satisfy that standard?
