The case in Media (DelCo) Court

The trial at the Media Courthouse has been moving as well, but it seems to be two steps forward and one step back.  On August 27, 2021, Judge Whelan, presiding over “Peco Energy Company v. Marple Township Zoning Hearing Board”, sent the case back to the Marple Zoning Hearing Board (MZHB) for them to consider again.  “This matter is remanded to the Marple Township Zoning Board for an additional hearing at which time Petitioner may supplement the record and introduce evidence as set forth in Appellant’s Motion. Appellant may have an opportunity to respond at said hearing.”

WITH THE CASE RETURNING TO THE MARPLE ZONING HEARING BOARD, PECO WILL AGAIN COME BEFORE THE MZHB TO MAKE THEIR CASE. THE RESIDENTS OF MARPLE TOWNSHIP NEED TO BE THERE TO SUPPORT THE MZHB.

If you are interested in reviewing any of the public documents in the trial in Media, here’s how to do that:
  • Copy this number: CV-2020-008477
  • Visit https://delcopublicaccess.co.delaware.pa.us/
  • Click on the blue “CASE SEARCH” button.
  • Paste CV-2020-008477 into the space next to Case Number, and click the blue “SEARCH” button.
  • Click on the blue CV-2020-008477
  • Scroll down and click on “DOCKET ENTRIES”
  • The docket entries are listed by date, with the OLDEST documents FIRST (#1-#10) . To see the most recent documents, you need to go to the next (#11-#20), (#21-#30), (#30-#33) pages.  This is the opposite order from the PUC case.  When I looked at the docket on September 7, 2021, the “Order to Remand” was at the very end, #33.
