Case Details
Successful defense against a zoning appeal that jeopardized our client’s business and property interests. The Superior Court dismissed a hostile zoning appeal after reviewing arguments presented by Joseph Porto and Aaron M. Katz. The client obtained approval for a special permit from their local zoning commission to include a new stormwater runoff management system and drainage outlet, allowing them to expand operations. A third party appealed, claiming inadequate notice, failure to comply with bonding/setback/insurance requirements, and incorrect conclusion on public health regulations. Parrett Porto successfully refuted these claims, demonstrating sufficient notice, arguing that bonding/insurance claims were not raised at the original hearing, and relying on expert testimony for public health regulations. The Superior Court ruled in the client's favor and denied the appeal.
Additional Notes
