After town zoning officer issued a notice of violation to property owners for keeping four alpacas on their property, property owners appealed.
The Zoning Board of Review determined alpacas were domestic animals, were not prohibited, but imposed four conditions.
Neighbor appealed. The Superior Court affirmed. Neighbor petitioned for a writ of certiorari.
After granting certiorari, the Supreme Court held that the Zoning Board could not impose, as a “condition” in its ruling, that “[t]he right to keep alpaca on this property does not run with the land.”
