(petitioner) has appealed from an order of the Court of Common Pleas of Chester County which dismissed the petitioner’s complaint in mandamus against the Board of Supervisors of Charlestown Township (Board).

We affirm on the basis of the able opinion of Judge Thomas A. Pitt, Jr., filed October 15, 1980, at No. 341 November Term, 1979, in the Court of Common Pleas of .Chester County. See also Beekhuis v. Zoning Hearing Board of Middletown Township, 59 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 307, 429 A.2d 1231 (1981).
