Markatos v. Zoning Board of Appeals

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of the proposed abutters' motion to intervene, holding that the motion was untimely under the circumstances. The intervenors knew of the administrative appeal nearly from its inception, waited until after the trial court had issued a remand order and proceedings on remand had begun, and therefore did not show an abuse of discretion in the trial court's ruling. The court also declined to address hypothetical issues concerning participation in future remand proceedings because the record was incomplete and those issues were not ripe for review.
