Hollberg v. Spalding County

MlKELL, Judge.

We granted the application of Benjamin Sinclair Hollberg (“Sinclair”) 1 for discretionary appeal of the order granting summary judgment to Spalding County, Spalding County Board of Commissioners (“Board”), and Wilma A. Hollberg (“Wilma”), to review the trial court’s ruling that Sinclair lacks standing to challenge the approval of a special exception to a local zoning ordinance permitting a residential development on Wilma’s adjoining property. We affirm, but clarify that a devisee of real property may have standing to challenge a zoning decision even though his title is inchoate.
