Pawlowski v. Planning Zoning Commission

Supreme Court of Connecticut
Dec 17, 1968
253 A.2d 8 (Conn. 1968)

Opinion

Argued November 13, 1968

Decided December 17, 1968

Appeal from the action of the defendant commission in granting a special exception to permit a sanitary landfill disposal operation, brought to the Court of Common Pleas in Tolland County and tried to the court, Dannehy, J.; judgment dismissing the appeal, from which the plaintiffs appealed to this court. No error.

Phillip E. Tatoian, Jr., with whom, on the brief, was Phillip E. Tatoian, for the appellants (plaintiffs).

Jerome I. Walsh, for the appellee (named defendant).

Etalo G. Gnutti, for the appellees (defendant Sweet et al.).


The planning and zoning commission of the town of Ellington granted a special exception for the establishment of a sanitary landfill disposal operation on a twenty-seven-acre tract of land in an industrial zone. The plaintiffs, who own property in the area, have appealed from a judgment of the Court of Common Pleas dismissing their appeal.

On the present appeal, the plaintiffs seek to correct the finding by requesting the inclusion of certain paragraphs of the draft finding which they claim are undisputed. The plaintiffs, however, cannot succeed in this attempt because of their failure to include in the appendix to their brief anything which shows that the facts sought to be included were admitted or undisputed within the rule of cases such as Brown v. Connecticut Light Power Co., 145 Conn. 290, 293, 141 A.2d 634.

The plaintiffs claim that the trial court committed error by concluding that they were not aggrieved persons. The decisive issue on this appeal is whether the facts recited in the limited finding compelled the conclusion that the plaintiffs were aggrieved.

It would serve no useful purpose to recount the relevant facts. It is sufficient to note that the finding reasonably supports the conclusion of the trial court that the plaintiffs were not aggrieved, and that conclusion should not be disturbed by us. See Josephson v. Planning Board, 151 Conn. 489, 492, 199 A.2d 690; London v. Planning Zoning Commission, 149 Conn. 282, 284, 179 A.2d 614.
