Giarrantano v. Zoning Board of Appeals

Opinion

SCHALLER, J.

The defendant Rodney Green, in AC 19519, and the defendant zoning board of appeals of the city of Norwich (board), in AC 19527, appeal from the judgment of the trial court sustaining the appeal of the plaintiff, Dick Giarrantano, from the board’s decision to grant variances to Green that would permit him to build a thirty-six unit hotel on his commercially zoned property.
