Syllabus

At issue in this case is whether or not residents in an R-1 zone in the Town of Hopkinton could legally keep alpacas on their land. The Supreme Court held that the decision of the Zoning Board of Review of the Town of Hopkinton allowing the respondents to keep alpacas on their land was fatally flawed because of a condition attached to said decision. Accordingly, the case was remanded to the Superior Court with directions that the decision of the Zoning Board of Review be quashed.
