How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • finding that the owner sold off portions of a large parcel leaving insufficient frontage for remaining lot
  • planningboard’s waiver of the section 81L frontage requirements does not obviate the need for a variance from the board of appeals
  • rejecting argument that a 6.68 percent deviation from a frontage requirement was de minimis
  • pointing out that neglect of planning board does not preclude building inspector or zoning board from performing statutory duties of enforcing zoning by-law and that approvals of each board serve different purposes
  • “It does not follow that the planning board is authorized ... to grant a variance”
  • attempt to put two houses on ten-acre lot with 386 feet of frontage; required frontage per house, 200 feet
