UNHAPPY ABOUT TOWNSHIP’S DENIAL – Bryan Tuckey, owner of East Coast Marine, 3363 W. Ridge Pike, Limerick PA, apparently is making known his displeasure with a decision by the Limerick (PA) Township Board of Supervisors to deny a request to expand his business. Tuckey during July sought permission under a conditional use permit to conduct automobile sales and repairs at his location in addition to those for boats; board members, including Chairman Kenneth Sperring, said no Tuesday (Aug. 17, 2010), in a 3-0 vote. Passers-by traveling West Ridge Pike on Sunday (Aug. 22) saw a vinyl sign covering East Coast Marine’s regular signage. In green letters on a white background, the sign at Tucker’s business said “Welcome to Ken Sperring’s Township Formerly Limerick Township Home of Special Interests & Kickbacks.”

Please, please get my name right! Every news article is saying “Tucker”…. my name is Tuckey…:)
The tax payers of Limerick need to know about the corruption that is going on… GET INVOLVED!!!!!
Bryan, please accept our apologies for the error and our thanks for your correction. It’s already been made.
I would like to hear the reason why the board denied the request. I can’t imagine what harm there could be in allowing Mr Tuckey to expand his offering to include cars.
Tim, The Post attended the original July (2010) hearing on Tuckey’s request but not the meeting at which the rejection vote was taken. In a story published by The Spring-Ford Reporter, township Solicitor Joseph McGrory was quoted as saying Tuckey’s proposal did not satisfy zoning requirements. That may be as close to a reason as you’ll get.
