LANCASTER TWP. — Lancaster Township supervisors denied Josh Inman's conditional use application to build a dirt track in his home's front yard.

But Inman and his adolescent daughter will continue to ride it, as the township also lifted its cease-and-desist order.

In a conditional use decision approved by the board of supervisors on Sept. 29, the township denied Inman's application on technical grounds, namely that a property can have only one permitted use, and in Inman's case a single-family home already exists on his property.
