Scott County Lumber Co. v. City of Shakopee

How courts have described this case

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

• reversing city's denial of conditional-use permit for expansion of gravel pit because decision was arbitrary and capricious
• holding community opposition insufficient without concrete supporting evidence
• reversing city council’s denial of conditional use permit because city discounted expert testimony in favor of neighbors’ opinions concerning the proposed gravel pit’s effect on their land value, water pollution, noise nuisance, and dust problems
• stating when a zoning ordinance specifies standards that the city must apply in determining whether to grant a conditional use permit and the applicant fully complies with those specified standards, “a denial of the permit is arbitrary as a matter of law”
