1Opinion of the CourtSilver, J.

[¶ 1] Bruce Tisdale appeals from a judgment of the Superior Court (Kennebec County, Mills, J.) in favor of Thelma G. Buch on Tisdale’s complaint seeking declaratory and injunctive relief regarding the parties’ rights in a certain right-of-way. 1 Tisdale argues that the Superior Court erred in concluding that Buch owns the right-of-way pursuant to the Paper Streets Act, 23 M.R.S. §§ 3027, 3031-3035 (2012); 33 M.R.S. §§ 460, 469-A (2012), 2 and in finding that the right-of-way is not part of a common scheme of development. We affirm the judgment.
