Board approves manager application for Branch Oak Marina after brief public hearing

Lancaster County Board of Commissioners · May 13, 2026

Summary

After a short public hearing, a manager application tied to a Class B liquor license for Branch Oak Marina was approved; the applicant identified himself as 'Chris' and said operations would remain 'business as usual.'

The Lancaster County Board of Commissioners opened and closed a public hearing on a manager application for a Class B liquor license connected to Branch Oak Marina, 10001 West Amy Road in Raymond, and later approved a resolution in the matter of the manager's application.

An applicant who identified himself only as "Chris" was sworn and said he is a retired IBM executive who began managing the marina in February; he told the board it would be "business as usual." After closing the public hearing, the board moved and approved a resolution identified in the agenda as concerning Christopher Britton’s manager application for Eli Service Incorporated doing business as Branch Oak Marina; the motion carried on roll call.

The applicant described no planned changes to operations and said ownership remains with John Phillips. The approval recorded in the minutes is a county licensing action; any operational compliance obligations under state liquor law remain in force and were not discussed in detail during the hearing.
