Greg Werstil, a Duncansville-area businessman, five years ago offered to help his neighbor, James Peters, who owns Best Way Pizza, repair a wall separating the two properties, but, what occurred next, Werstil says, is “insane … surreal … truly surreal.”
After the repairs were underway, a zoning officer for the borough took notice of the “fence being constructed or reconstructed,” and ruled that while fences are allowed in the borough, permits for them must be obtained under the borough’s Zoning and Floodplain ordinances.
Werstil was cited on May 25, 2015, for violations of the ordinances, sparking a long court battle that concluded Monday with a ruling by a three-judge panel from Pennsylvania’s Commonwealth Court that upheld a $100 fine and an award of $4,695 in legal fees paid by the borough to litigate the alleged violations.
