CK Litigation Team Defends City Zoning Decision Upholding Placement of Basketball Hoop

In the highly publicized matter of Julia Ramos v. City of St. Louis Park et al., a resident sued the City and her neighbors, claiming that the neighbors’ use of their driveway for their children to play basketball violated city zoning code. Although City staff, the City Board of Zoning Appeals, and the City Council had found that the hoop complied with all setback requirements, the plaintiff claimed that the City was misreading its code. The resident also sought an injunction to prevent her neighbors from using their own driveway, claiming that children’s use of their own driveway constituted a public safety hazard. In response to the plaintiff’s injunction request, the CK litigation team was able to show that there was no likelihood of success on the merits, and secured an early dismissal of the lawsuit.
