Wellswood Columbia, LLC v. Town of Hebron

Summary

The court held that the plaintiffs had standing to challenge Hebron's closure of the only existing road providing access to their property. It further held that Hebron lacked statutory authority to close the road for the purpose of preventing traffic from a proposed subdivision in Columbia because the land-use statutes supplied the procedures for addressing the alleged traffic impacts. The closure was therefore void ab initio, and the judgment for the defendants was reversed and remanded with direction to enter judgment for the plaintiffs.
