1Opinion of the Court

Opinion by

Mr. Justice Roberts,

These appeals1 are taken from an order of the Court of Common Pleas of Chester County2 which held un*508constitutional a provision of the Easttown Township zoning ordinance which required a minimum area of four acres per building lot in certain residential districts in the township. Before reaching the significant zoning question presented in this case, however, several procedural issues raised by the township3 must first be considered in order to determine if the issue is properly before us.
