Stamford Rejects Developer Zoning Change Plan
Stamford officials ruled to send the proposed zoning ordinance to Town Meeting voters with forest zoning unchanged affecting 3,400 acres owned by Frank T. Opie of Ayer. Opie and ally Lincoln Haynes of Wilmington discussed joint development but faced potential confiscatory impact if the land remains forest. Attorney John R. Molllica warned of legal risks including spot zoning and the town’s interim zoning deadline, while former state speaker Leroy Lawrence urged funding a full-time town planner to maximize tax gains from prospective vacation homes.
