Pre-trial motions in Parnell v. city of Clemson

A judge in Pickens County next month will hear pre-trial motions in the case of Kimberly Parnell, Lakeview Apartments vs. city of Clemson, CS Acquisition LLC and Keowee Trail LLC.  The plaintiffs have challenged the formula that Clemson used to approve the HUB project that they say will mean a seven-story apartment complex with retail spaces on the first floor.  It’s a case that continues to divide the male members of the city council from the female members.  In the pre-trial motions, to be heard Thursday, August 8, lawyers for the defendants CS Acquisition and the city of Clemson will ask Judge G-D Morgan to throw out plaintiffs’ request for an injunction to stop the development.  The defense claims the plaintiffs bid for an injunction relies on a mistaken interpretation of law.
