Weisel v. Beaver Springs Owners Association, Inc.
Annotate this Case
Plaintiff-Appellant Thomas Weisel owned two adjacent parcels within the Beaver Springs Subdivision in Ketchum. He sought to unify and develop the lots. At some point, his plan indicated that he intended that construction would take place in a "setback zone" that abutted the lots' shared border. Plaintiff and the Beaver Springs Owners Association executed an agreement whereby Beaver Springs approved the unification and development plan. Construction on the property was completed in 1985, all structures were located on what used to be "lot 14" and the former setback zone and "lot 13" remained vacant. In 2009, Plaintiff filed suit to rescind or reform the agreement. The district court granted Beaver Springs' motion for summary judgment, and Plaintiff appealed. Upon review, the Supreme Court concluded that "[i]n essence, Plaintiff asked the Court to reform an agreement for which the parties freely bargained." As such, the Court found that the district court properly granted summary judgment in favor of Beaver Springs.
