Reardon v. Zoning Board of Appeals

Summary

The court held that a property owner's letter challenging permits previously issued to a neighboring property owner did not create a new appealable zoning decision when the zoning official neither responded to the letter nor took enforcement action. The challenge was an untimely collateral attack on the original permit decisions, and the zoning board therefore lacked jurisdiction to consider it. The court also rejected the argument that the local regulation created an independent remedy exempt from statutory appeal deadlines.
