Steven E. Stone v. Zoning Board of Appeals of Northborough & Another.

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of the plaintiffs' zoning appeal because they failed to establish standing as persons aggrieved by the proposed warehouse. In assessing standing, the court held that the record required consideration of Cable Matters's actual proposed use, including the conditions imposed on that use, rather than hypothetical future uses of an ordinary warehouse. The plaintiffs' speculative and unsupported claims concerning noise, light, vibration, odors, and loss of open space did not create a triable issue of particularized, non-de minimis harm.
