Ideas in this flowchart

  • L’opinion soutient que les choix de politique publique ne doivent pas déterminer l’issue d’une affaire de nuisance privée.
  • La politique invoquée par la majorité pourrait concerner une nuisance publique, mais l’affaire porte sur une nuisance privée distincte.
  • Dans Deetz, la règle de l’usage raisonnable favorise l’amélioration et le développement des terrains.
  • Les planificateurs doivent tenir compte de la croissance démographique, de la revitalisation des bâtiments et de l’augmentation du nombre de ménages.
  • Ils sont également confrontés à des pénuries de logements touchant particulièrement les jeunes et les personnes âgées disposant de ressources financières limitées.
  • Les décisions de politique publique devraient être laissées au législateur plutôt qu’aux tribunaux.
  • Selon In re City of Beloit, ce qui est souhaitable ou nécessaire relève de la politique et non d’une question de fait.
  • Lorsque le juge tranche ces questions en fonction de considérations politiques, il exerce une fonction législative.
  • L’évolution historique des nuisances montre qu’un usage autrefois considéré comme nuisible peut ensuite devenir courant, et inversement.
  • Cette comparaison conduit à se demander si l’utilisateur de l’énergie solaire, plutôt que ses voisins, crée la nuisance.
  • L’éblouissement des panneaux peut aveugler temporairement les conducteurs, chauffer les bâtiments voisins et irriter les voisins.
  • Dans ces circonstances, le système de chauffage solaire peut lui-même constituer une nuisance.

"131 private benefit. I note that this court in Deetz stated: “The reasonable use rule retains … a policy of favoring land improvement and development.” Id. at 20. See also id. at 15. I find it significant that community planners are dealing with this country’s continued population growth and buildin g revitalization where “[t]he number of households is expected to reach almost 100 million by the end of the decade; that would be 34 percent higher than the number in 1970.” F. Strom, 1981 Zoning and Planning Law Handbook , sec. 22.02, 396 (1981). It is clear that community planners are acutely aware of the present housing shortages, particularly among those two groups with limited financial resources, the young and the elderly. Id. While the majority’s policy arguments may be directed to a cause of action for public nuisance, we are presented with a private nuisance case which I believe is distinguishable in this regard. 14 I would submit that any policy decisions in this area are best left for the legislature. “What is ‘desirable’ or ‘advisable’ or ‘ought to be’ is a question of policy, not a question of fact. What is ‘necessary’ or what is ‘in the best interest’ is not a fact and its determination by the judiciary is an exercise of legislative power when each involves political considerations.” In re City of Beloit , 37 Wis. 2d 637, 644 (1968). I would concur with these observations of the trial judge: “While temptation lingers for the court to 14 I am amused at the majority’s contention that what constitutes a nuisance today would have been accepted without question in earlier times. This calls to mind the fact that, in early days of travel by horses, the first automobiles were considered nuisances. Later, when automobile travel became developed, the horse became the nuisance. Ellickson, Alternatives to Zoning: Covenants, Nuisance Rules, and Fines as Land Use Controls , 40 U. Chi. L. Rev. 681, 731 (1973). This makes me wonder if we are examining the proper nuisance in the case before us. In other words, could it be said that the solar energy user is creating the nuisance when others must conform their homes to accommodate his use? I note that solar panel glare may temporarily blind automobile drivers, reflect into adjacent buildings causing excessive heat, and otherwise irritate neighbors. Certainly in these instances the solar heating system constitutes the nuisance."
