Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the federal appeal became moot after withdrawal of the building project.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The appeal became moot; the case was stricken from the docket and the prior decisions became moot as well.
Extrahierte Begründung
Once the permit request was withdrawn, there was no longer a live controversy, so the Federal Supreme Court removed the matter from the docket and dealt only with costs.
