For all the same reasons detailed in the accompanying Entry Order addressing the
objection to the record proffered by the Town of Stowe (“Town”), which objection was filed on
behalf of Appellant/Applicant 232511 Investments, Ltd. (“Applicant”), the Court concludes that
the documents submitted by the Town for an in camera review constitute confidential
communications from the Town’s legal counsel concerning the legal proceedings of Applicant’s
past and current applications for permit amendments for the development known as Stowe
Highlands. The communications are privileged communications from an attorney to her client
and may be protected from court discovery procedures, pursuant to V.R.C.P. 26 and 1 V.S.A.
§ 317(c)(4). We therefore GRANT the Town’s request and have sealed the requested
documents, so as to prohibit them from being disclosed as a public record.
