Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Jun 13, 2023
Donald Placke, Jr., Appellant, vs. The City of Sunset Hills, Missouri, City of Sunset Hills Board of Adjustment, Patricia Fribis, Ryan Patton, and William Weber, Respondents.
Donald Placke Jr. appealed the City of Sunset Hills Board of Adjustment's decision to grant his neighbor, Ryan Patton, a variance from a thirty-foot rear setback ordinance for a home addition. Placke, appearing pro se, opposed the variance due to concerns about property setbacks and rainwater diversion. The appellate court dismissed Placke's appeal because his brief failed to substantially comply with Rule 84.04, citing an argumentative statement of facts and multifarious points relied on.
