Supreme Court of Connecticut
Town of Beacon Falls v. Posick, 209 Conn. 830 (Conn. 1988)
552 A.2d 1217; 1988 Conn. LEXIS 401

Town of Beacon Falls v. Posick

Opinion of the Court

The plaintiffs’ petition for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 17 Conn. App. 17, is granted, limited to the following issues:

“1. Did the Appellate Court err in concluding that the enactment of § 2 of Public Acts 1984, No. 84-331, exempting from local zoning any real property of the Connecticut resources recovery authority that had been operated as a solid waste disposal area prior to the effective date of such public act, preempted the Beacon Falls zoning ordinance that prohibited the defendant from operating a landfill on his property?

“2. Did the Appellate Court err in concluding that the Beacon Falls zoning ordinance prohibiting privately operated waste disposal landfills was unconstitutional?”
