Mud Puddle Investments v. City of Siloam Springs (Cloudview Estates Subdivision Plat-Denial Suit)
Mud Puddle Investments sued the City of Siloam Springs, Arkansas after the Planning Commission and Board of Directors both denied a preliminary plat for Cloudview Estates, a 319-lot subdivision near the municipal airport, despite a city staff recommendation to approve it and no stated FAA objection. A group calling itself Save Siloam's Airport has since moved to intervene to defend the denial.
