LORD FAMILY OF WINDSOR, LLC, ET AL. v. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OF THE TOWN OF WINDSOR (SC 17952)
Norcott, Katz, Palmer, Vertefeuille and Zarella, Js. Argued March 20--officially released September 16, 2008

Michael A. Zizka, for the appellants (plaintiffs). Richard A. Vassallo, for the appellee (defendant).

Opinion

PALMER, J. The plaintiffs, Lord Family of Windsor, LLC (Lord Family), Robert Daddario and N. Philip Lord, Jr., appeal1 from the judgment of the trial court denying in part their appeal from the decision of the defendant, the planning and zoning commission of the town of Windsor (commission), to impose certain conditions on the approval of the plaintiffs' subdivision applications pursuant to a zoning regulation requiring a special use permit for the subdivision of more than thirty lots. The plaintiffs claim on appeal that the trial court improperly upheld several of the conditions that the commission had imposed under the regulation. In support of their claim, the plaintiffs contend that (1) the regulation is unlawful because it is not authorized by the enabling statutes, (2) the regulation violates the uniformity requirement of General Statutes
