The owner of a pricey seaside house in Jamestown has lost a decade-long fight against a right-of-way that runs beside the home and leads to Narragansett Bay.
In 2003, the state Coastal Resources Management Council voted to formally designate the grassy corridor at the end of High Street as a public right of way following complaints by residents that the residents of 7 High St. were obstructing public access. The couple that owned the house appealed the decision.
"The decision of the CRMC is affirmed and High Street in Jamestown ... will remain a public right-of-way providing access to the Narragansett shore," Superior Court Judge Brian Van Couyghen wrote in his May 31 decision.
Brian Goldman, CRMC's lawyer, hailed the decision and acknowledged it had been a long time coming.
