Description
The plaintiffs are the owners of a lot
having an area of 2.94 acres in the town
of Easton. Easton is divided into two zoning
districts. Easton Zoning Regs. 8 (1960). The
plaintiffs' lot is in district B. A regulation
applicable to this district provides that no
buildings shall be erected on any lot having a
total area of less than three acres. Ibid. This
regulation has been in effect since 1941. Id. 10. The plaintiffs desired to erect a building on
their lot and applied to the defendant board for
a variance of the aforementioned area-requirement
regulation. After a hearing, the board denied
their application. The plaintiffs then appealed
to the Court of Common Pleas, claiming that the
board's action in denying the variance was
illegal, arbitrary and an abuse of the discretion
vested in it. The Court of Common Pleas sustained
the plaintiffs' appeal. The present appeal by the
board followed.
