I disagree with the holding that a municipality can be a "party aggrieved," as that term is used in § 11-52-81, Ala. Code 1975,1 and thus qualified to challenge decisions by its board of zoning adjustment.
1 "Any party aggrieved by any final judgment or decision of such board of zoning adjustment may within 15 days thereafter appeal therefrom to the circuit court by filing with such board a written notice of appeal specifying the judgment or decision from which the appeal is taken. In case of such appeal such board shall cause a transcript of the proceedings in the action to be certified to the court to which the appeal is taken, and the action in such court shall be tried de novo." § 11-52-81, Ala. Code 1975.
