Construction Of The Condominium Association V Vistal Land & Home Development

First, rezoning action is quasi-judicial in nature, subject to strict scrutiny on certiorari review. Second, a landowner who demonstrates that proposed use of the property is consistent with comprehensive plan is not presumptively entitled to such use. Third, a landowner seeking to rezone a property has burden of proving that proposal is consistent with the comprehensive plan, and consequently burden shifts to the zoning board to demonstrate legitimate public purpose of maintaining existing zoning classification. Finally, the board is not

In 1969, Massachusetts fashioned the law 40B, famously referred to as the “Anti-Snob Zoning Act”, which allows developers to bypass land use restrictions in towns where less than ten percent of the housing meets the state definition of affordable. There are multiple positions and solutions to friction in Massachusetts largely inspired by controversy surrounding the State's affordable housing law, Massachusetts General Laws chapter 40B between housing advocates and open space advocates. This thesis reviews and critiques the current law, and diagnoses various legislative proposals for the progressive feud.

Generally speaking, the Master Deed, Bylaws or other restrictive covenant will charge the Board of Directors with enforcing these documents. Similarly, the terms of the governing documents and the Michigan Condominium Act require every owner to “…comply with the master deed, bylaws, and rules and regulations of the condominium project…” MCL 559.165. Accordingly, as a general rule, the Board of Directors of a Condominium Association or Homeowner Association is required to enforce the governing documents as written.

Wendy Ji, a resident at the Emerald City Condominiums in Taranto, Canada has filed a $30-million class-action lawsuit against the Toronto developer, Elad Canada, for failing to deliver what she claims they promised to. On Emerald City’s website they state the condominium would include “easy underground access to the Don Mills subway.” When Wendy first moved into the apartment she discover something shocking, the underground tunnel connecting the condominium to the subway did not exist. The condo developer claims that “there was never any representation that there would be underground access” to the subway station.

In 2005 one of the most divisive cases we had ever heard on the Supreme Court occurred—Kelo v. City of New London. After a decade of the 5-4 decision I still get questions about this case. By far eminent domain has been one of most complex and controversial aspects of in our nation’s history.

In Mt. Veron Park Association v Chantelle Clark, Michigan Court of Appeals Docket No. 323445 (December 29, 2015) (Unpublished), the Michigan Court of Appeals held that a Condominium Association could not create rules and regulations that were inconsistent with the maintenance responsibilities set forth in the Master Deed and Bylaws. Specifically, the Mt. Veron Park Association adopted a rule and regulation that indicated that all co-owners must paint must have their front doors painted dark brown. The Association requested that the co-owner paint her door dark brown. The co-owner argued that the Master Deed and Bylaws placed the responsibility for the cost of maintenance, repair and replacement of the door on the Association, even though

Facts: The city of New London approved a new development plan to build a new hotel and marina in hopes of revitalizing its economy and infrastructure. New London Development Corporation (NLDC), a private nonprofit entity planned to use the state approved $5.35-million-dollar bond issue to purchase the land needed to build. With approval from the state the NLDC began purchasing properties from willing sellers and use eminent domain to acquire the rest of the properties. Condemnation proceedings later began and petitions argued that they were condemned because they were located in the development area. The Superior Court agreed and granted a permanent restraining

The case of Kelo vs. City of New London generated major controversy that reached its way up to the Supreme Court. In addition, it has been the first major case involving eminent domain since 1984. Eminent domain is defined as “the right of a government or its agent to expropriate private property for public use, with payment of compensation”. The City of New London approved a development plan in 2000 that was “projected to create jobs, increase tax and other revenues, and to revitalize an economically distressed city”, according to the Supreme Court of Connecticut. In almost all economic development, development agents purchase property from willing sellers. When it comes to property owners who are a little more reluctant bartering over their

By a 4-2 vote, with Rick Hanlon and Brian Smith voting against the ordinance, which amends a city law regarding the permitted uses of accessory buildings.

Parker (348 U.S 26(1954)), in which a redevelopment plan in the Washington DC area was challenged by a business owner who argued that a “better balanced, more attractive community” is not a valid public use. However, the Court, at the time, used the Constitution to suggest that a well balanced, healthy, and carefully developed community, is indeed of public interest. Although the Kelo case deals more with “economic revitalization” rather than “re-designing”, the Berman case was used as supporting evidence that the development plan was of public
