1Opinion of the CourtMurphy, J.
On July 8, 1957, the plaintiff was the owner of a tract of 2.3 acres on Moseley Terrace in Glastonbury. She applied to the defendant, the town plan and zoning commission, for approval of a re-subdivision of her property into two parcels. After a public hearing at which almost unanimous opposition to the resubdivision was registered by the other property owners in the neighborhood, the defendant, on September 4, 1957, denied the application. Upon appeal to the Court of Common Pleas, the action of the defendant was reversed, and it has appealed to this court.
The facts are brief and simple.…
