Robert F. Grommet v. St. Louis County

At the behest of plaintiff-respondent Robert F. Grommet, his wife and three other couples who are neighbors of the Grommets, the trial court enjoined the County of St. Louis and defendant-appellant Parkway School District from using Canary Avenue 1 as an access road to the staff parking lot in the rear of Parkway's Wren Hollow Elementary School and ordered St. Louis County to barricade Canary Avenue where it abuts the school parking lot. Respondents' petition was originally filed against the County alone in three counts: Count I which sought damages from the County on a theory of inverse condemnation, Count II which requested an injunction abating a nuisance, and Count III which sought damages from the County because of the alleged trespass of the County's agents.
