Olthof Homes, LLC d/b/a Olthof Homes v. Town of Chesterton, Indiana, a municipal corporation, and Town of Chesterton Storm Water Management Board
24A-MI-1944
Miscellaneous. Reverses Porter Superior Court Judge Mary DeBoer’s order granting summary judgment for the Town of Chesterton and the town’s storm water management board after Olthof Homes, LLC appealed the town’s fine of $100,000 for violations of the town’s storm-water-management ordinances.
