Haggerty v. Borrego Solar Systems, Inc.

Massachusetts Superior Court

Decided September 27, 2016No. 15CV0800Published

1Opinion of the Court

Curran, Dennis J., J.

Mr. and Mrs. John and Claire Haggerty seek to annul the decision of the Grafton Planning Board which granted a special permit to neighbor Christy Pease to construct and operate a four-acre renewable solar collection farm on residential property directly across the street from their home. They have brought a motion for summary judgment because, they claim, the Grafton Planning Board granted the special permit under an inapplicable provision of the town’s zoning by-law.2

For the reasons that follow, the Haggertys’ motion must be DENIED.
