Specifically, Richard Cayer recounted a list of disputes involving neighboring landowners and the
Town dating back to 1993, several of which Cayer litigated before the Superior Court and the Law Court.
In 2005, Cayer filed a Rule 80B appeal of the Town’s grant of a land use permit to neighboring property
owners, and was successful on this appeal as well as a later challenge to a consent agreement between the
Town and neighbors. Most recently, in 2009, Cayer filed an unsuccessful motion for contempt against
the Town pursuant to M.R. Civ. P. 66(d) for an alleged failure to comply with court orders to conduct
further hearings on the contested permit. This case came before the Law Court in December 2009, and
we affirmed the Superior Court’s judgment. See Cayer v. Town of Madawaska, 2009 ME 122, 984 A.2d
207. Cayer also cites a 2007 case in which neighboring landowners appealed the Town’s issuance of two
permits to the Cayers to build a boat landing and new deck, and which ultimately resulted in issuance of
the permits.
