Helen Angermeier, Wilbur E. Angermeier and Inez Angermeier, His Wife, Plaintiffs-Respondents v. Borough of Sea…

Summary

The New Jersey Supreme Court reversed the lower court’s judgment that recognized a subdivision and issued a building permit, holding that the borough’s zoning ordinance provision requiring mayor‑council permission to rearrange a plot was unconstitutional and that the invalid provision could be severed without invalidating the remainder of the ordinance. The Court remanded for further proceedings on the plaintiffs’ claims of arbitrary interference.
