held another superior court ruling
in McConnell v. Wilson 543 A2d 249
(RI 1988), a year after its opinion in
Westerly v. Waldo, wherein it stated
that the Act prohibits local authorities
from discriminating against condominiums.
In McConnell, the clerk of the
town of South Kingston had refused to
record the declaration of condominium
in its land evidence records for the
creation of a parking condominium,
asserting that such a change of ownership
form constituted a subdivision of
land. The property had been used as a
parking lot with existing conforming
use status. The Superior Court had issued
a Write of Mandamus compelling
the town clerk to record the declaration.
The McConnell court cited its
earlier opinion in Westerly v. Waldo
as a condominium refl ecting a type of
ownership rather than any use and that
local offi cials cannot impose upon a
condominium that which would not be
imposed upon an identical development
under a diff erent form of ownership.
Further, the McConnell court stated
that the Act provides that no zoning,
subdivision, building code, or other real
estate use law may prohibit the condominium
form of ownership that would
not be imposed upon any physically
identical development.
Since the Act has not been amended
to change the law as outlined by the
Rhode Island Supreme Court in the two
opinions cited above, local offi ces are
prohibited from discriminating against
the condominium form of ownership.
It appears that the town clerk in our
case " didn't get the memo. " When we
spoke with the town solicitor and reminded
him of the two court opinions,
especially the one involving his own
town, we suddenly received word from
the folks at town hall that we could
record our declaration in the land
evidence records when ready.
