The appellate court affirmed the dismissal, finding that Shute's first two points on appeal were noncompliant with Rule 84.04, and his remaining points regarding the merits of the variance were not preserved because they were not raised before the Board. The court emphasized the duty of complainants to preserve claims in zoning litigation.","primaryTopic":"administrative-law","topicSlugs":["administrative-law","appellate-procedure","civil-procedure","property-real-estate","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=218059","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/arnold-shute-et-al-appellants-v-board-of-zoning-adjustments-of-franklin-c-112891","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":20,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"slug":"real-estate","label":"Real Estate","href":"/practice-areas/real-estate","score":18,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: property-real-estate","text: zoning"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/real-estate"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
