1Opinion of the CourtClifford, J.
[¶ 1] The Town of Standish appeals from the judgment of the Superior Court (Cumberland County, Humphrey, C.J.) vacating the Standish Town Council’s decision to accept the dedication of a public easement over a portion of the Northeast Road Extension leading to Sebago Lake. Pursuant to M.R. Civ. P. 80B, Portland Water District had filed a petition for review of the Town’s decision. The Town contends that the court erred when it concluded that the Town Council’s decision to accept the public easement was precluded by the doctrine of res judicata. We affirm the judgment.
