HUTCHINSON, Justice,
concurring.
Because sections 203.2 and 203.9 of the Hopewell Township Zoning Ordinance are not reasonably related to the legitimate government interest in preserving large areas of agricultural land, I concur in the result. Accordingly, we need not decide whether the ordinance violated 53 P.S. § 10107 which exempts from limitation “the division of land for agricultural purposes into parcels of ten acres, not involving any new street or easement;” or whether the limitation on the scope of judicial review imposed by 53 P.S. § 11011(b) is unconstitutional.
NIX, J., joins this concurring opinion.
