Resolving the case of Wellesley's road to nowhere

April 29, 2009 by Bob Brown Leave a Comment

Universal Hub reports on a state appeals court case involving a Wellesley homeowner seeking to build a house near a road that doesn’t exist at the Wellesley/Weston town line:

In 2002, Robert Carlson bought the house at 107 Manor Ave., and, being a good Wellesleyite, immediately began making plans to tear it down and replace it with a new house. Only then did he discover that he couldn’t, because, technically, the “paper road” still existed, it crossed right in the middle of his property and, well, the law generally frowns on building houses in the middle of the street.
