East Coventry Township supervisors are considering the application of Spanky Farms LLC for the inclusion of additional tracts of land in the township’s Agricultural Security Area. The two pieces of land — known as UPI 18-4-74 and 18-4-75, located off Schoolhouse Road near Fulmer Road — are approximately 9.1 acres and contiguous to other lands owned by the applicant. Agricultural Security Areas are a tool for protecting Pennsylvania farmland from nonagricultural uses. Landowners in the program receive protection from local ordinances and nuisance lawsuits affecting normal farming activities, as well as review of farmland condemnation by state and local government agencies. The supervisors will discuss the issue at a public hearing on Monday, May 8, at 7 p.m. at the township building, 855 Ellis Woods Road, Pottstown.
