Description
This case came before the Supreme Court on the petition for certiorari of Edmund A. Restivo, Jr. (petitioner), in his capacity as general partner of Sunnybrook Associates, following a Superior Court Judgement affirming a decision of the East Providence City Council (council). In that decision, the council denied the petitioner's request for approval of a subdivision of land in East Providence, Rhode Island. For the reasons set forth below, we deny the petition for certiorari. A summary of the facts pertinent to our decision follows. Facts and Procedural History Sunnybrook Associates (Sunnybrook), a Rhode Island general partnership, owns a certain parcel of real estate known as Sunnybrook Estates. On or about August 4, 1993, Sunnybrook submitted a petition seeking approval of a proposed subdivision of Sunnybrook Estates to the city clerk of the city of East Providence (city). Because of concerns about the adequacy of the proposed drainage system for the new development and about the impact of drainage on surrounding property, the city's planning board (planning board), pursuant to § 15-34 of the Revised Ordinances of the City of East Providence (Rev. Ords. 1986, § 30-19) and with the knowledge and approval of the council, requested that Sunnybrook hire the engineering consulting group Camp Dresser & McKee (CDM) to review the proposed drainage system.
