Arcidi v. Town of Rye

This case involves a dispute over the defendant Town of Rye’s (town) use of an easement over land owned by the plaintiff, Alfred L. Arcidi, Jr. The plaintiff appeals a decision of the Superior Court {Lewis, J.) that the town had the right to use the easement and that the construction and use of a gravel road was within the scope of the easement. The town cross-appeals the court’s ruling that the installation and use of a subsurface water line was beyond the scope of the easement. In addition, the town challenges the award of attorney’s fees. We affirm in part and reverse in part.
