1Opinion of the CourtDooley, J.
On March 4, 1986, the voters of the Town of St. Johnsbury voted to change the zoning of 10.17 acres of land owned by defendant Northern Petroleum Company (Northern) at the intersection of Route 2 and Western Avenue from Rural Land-1 to Highway-Commercial. Plaintiffs, who are adjoining landowners, brought this action first to prevent the vote and then, after the vote, to invalidate the zoning change. The case was submitted to the superior court on an agreed statement of facts. The court dismissed the complaint and plaintiffs appeal to this Court. We affirm the dismissal of the case.
