therein Is erroneously described as N 590 35' 02" W, whereas the plan as
recorded lists this call as N 690 35' 02" W). (Also, several minor variations In
wrlllen number versus numeral are In original.)
35. The said Pamay Development Co., Inc. granted and conveyed the same traCllmmedlately
described above to Highlands of Hampden Square Partnership, a Pennsylvania Partnership by
deed dated August 7, 1989 and recorded August 9, 1989, In the Recorder's Office aforesaid In
Deed Book "C," volume 34, page 373.
36. In the meantime, for the purposes and benefit of the said Hampden Square Partnership,
In or about March of 1989, Act One Consultants, Consulting Engineers apparently proceeded to
surveyor approved a survey further subdividing the said "Out Parcel" above-described, Into
numerous smaller lots which, so far as they bounded the aforesaid properties of Messrs, Tippett
1 1
and Slack, Ignored the long established and clear boundary line of the center line of the run.
37. The slid subdivision plan Includes a statement and certlflcallon: "It Is hereby certified
Ihatthe undersigned has legal or equitable IIl1e to the land shown hereon." Thenl Is a further
stltementthatthe eqUitable owner Is Highlands of Hampden Square Partnership. The statement
II then signed by the managing partner or Hampden Square.
38. Based at least partly upon said representation, the said subdivision plan was
recommended for approval by the Hampden Township Planning Commission on May 11. 1989.
was reviewed by the Cumberland County Planning Commission on May 18. 1989, was approved
by the Hampden Township Commissioners on June 6, 1989, was approved by the Hampden
Township Engineer on September 1. 1989 and was recorded In the Recorder's Otflce aforesaid
on September 1, 1989 in Plan Book 59, page 3 under the tllle: "Preliminary/Final
Subdivision Plan of Highlands of Hampden Square, Phase III".
36, Pursuant to said erroneous survey and plan, the said Highlands of Hampden Square
proceeded to grant and convey assorted properties along the boundary with Messrs. Tippen and
Slack to various Individuals and entllles.
37. Among the said grants and conveyances was one from the said Highlands of Hampden
Square to Carl H. Grove & Sons, a Pennsylvania Partnership by deed dated November 21.1969
and recorded December 1, 1989 In the Recorder's Office aforesaid In Deed Book "H,". volume
34, page 583.
38. The description In said deed is as follows:
BEGINNING at a point on the westam rl~ht-of-way line of South Watertord Way,
a 50 foot wide road, at the dividing line of Lots 596 and 595 of the plan of lots of
The Highlands of Hampden Square, Phase III, said point being located on a course
of South 14 degrees 00 minutes 00 seconds East a distance of 119.74 feet from
the center of Bentley Road, a 50 foot wide road; thence along said westem rlght-
of.way line on a course and dlslance of South 14 degrees 00 minutes 00 seconds
East 117.00 feet to a point; thence along Lot 594 of the aforesaid plan on a course
and distance of South 76 degrees 00 minutes 00 seconds West 196.05 feet to a
point: IhanC9 910no land now or formarlv of Charles E Slack on a COUtS" and
distance of North 10 deQr99s 27 minutes 52 sBCOnds WAst 11722 '991 to a point;
thence along Lot 596 of the aforesaid plan on a course and distance of North 76
degrees 00 minutes 00 seconds East 188.82 feet to the point of BEGINNING.
CONTAINING therein an area of 22,515 square feet or 0.5169 acres, more or

1 2
38. The laid Carl H. Grove & Sonl granted and conveyed theatoreaald deacrlbed property to
Daniel E. Foley and Joan M. Folay, his wife, by deed dated June 29, 1980 and recorded July 11,
1990, In the Recorder'a Office aforesaid In Deed Book 'Q,' volume 34, page 1167.
40. The IBid Daniel E. Foley and Joan M. Foley. his wife, granted and oonveyed theatoreaald
property to Jerome J. Hudak and Ann M. Hudak, his wife, the Defendants herein, by deed dated
January 3. 1994 and recorded January 7, 1994 In the Recorder's Office aforesaid In Deed Book
'S,' volume 36, page 1187.
41 . Said description along Plaintiff's boundllry and Defendant's alleged boundary has
reaulted In an adverse claim on record to Plalntlff's property In that the Defendant's claimed
boundary line cleariy crosses the long established and clear real boundary line between
Plaintiff and Defendant as Is shown on Exhibit F.
42. As a result of the above stated errors and false claims to an Improper and unlawful
boundary, there Is a cloud upon Plaintiff's IIlIe.
43. The said cloud renders the said Plalntlff's said property less than marketable In that It
exposes the Plaintiff, or any assignee, grantee, devisee, or the like of the Plaintiff to the
hazards of litigation.
WHEREFORE, The Plaintiff respectfully requests that a Rule be granted on Defendants to
show cause If any they have, why they should not bring an action of ejectment or be forever
barred from asserting any right, title, claim or Interest In said land.
Respectlully submllled,
