Brisson Stone LLC, Allan Brisson and Michael Brisson v. Town of Monkton and Claudia Orlandi 2014-455

MSK successfully represented a municipality in Environmental Division and Supreme Court appeals that upheld the municipality’s position that blasting, drilling, and crushing ledge rock for gravel product does not qualify as “gravel extraction” as permitted under the municipality’s zoning regulations.  The Supreme Court also concluded that  the statutory “deemed approval” remedy for municipal panel decisions on permit applications is meant to protect against “protracted deliberations” and does not prevent an interested person from timely appealing any such “deemed approval.”
