Cappello v. Ciresi
Cappello v. Ciresi
Opinion of the Court
The plaintiffs, Vincent Cappello and Irene Cappello, appeal from the trial court’s judgment rendered in favor of the defendants. The plaintiffs are the owners of a parcel of land located in a subdivision known as Lakeview Acres in Fairfield. The entire subdivision consists of seventy-four lots subject to certain restrictions recorded in the land records in 1943 that prohibit the use of any lot for anything other than a single-family dwelling. The plaintiffs instituted this action seeking (1) a judgment settling title to their land, and (2) a declaratory judgment determining whether the restrictions on the subdivision apply to their land. The defendants are property owners in the subdivision.
The plaintiffs claim that the trial court improperly upheld the validity of the restrictions, in that, as a matter of law, it incorrectly interpreted the effect of the restrictive covenant with regard to the plaintiffs’ property.
The judgment is affirmed.
