Mountain Valley Properties, Inc. v. The River Preserve Owners’ Association, Inc., et al.

Mountain Valley Properties, Inc. (“Plaintiff”) sued The River Preserve Owners’ Association, Inc., Richard J. Prichard, Pamela L. Prichard, Joseph E. Scott, and Paula A. Scott (“Defendants”) with regard to disputes concerning a tract of land owned by Plaintiff located in a residential development situated on Chickamauga Lake in Hamilton County, Tennessee. Both Plaintiff and Defendants filed motions for summary judgment. After a hearing, the Trial Court entered its order denying Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment and granting Defendants’ motions for summary judgment after finding and holding, inter alia, that Plaintiff does not have standing to contest the building of a community parking area on land not owned by Plaintiff; that Plaintiff does not have the right to close off an existing drive to other land owners in the community; and that Plaintiff should not be allowed to produce additional evidence after the hearing on the motions for summary  judgment. Plaintiff appeals to this Court. We affirm.
