Builder's remedy applicationApplication completeness dispute

The town sued its own applicants claiming their applications had expired. On Jan 29, 2026 Judge Helen Williams ruled for the developers, holding that each resubmittal restarts the 90-day window; in April the council granted the Luxe and Arya appeals. The town may appeal once judgment is final. Capri (119 units) is a separate pending claim.
