Three decisions by the Zoning Board of Appeals were appealed to the Court of Common Pleas in Westport. Adjacent property owners challenge two variances for a non-conforming house at Fresenius and Long Lots roads owned by Mrs Elizabeth Many, arguing no hardship and self created condition. The Payne Building Co seeks to expand a building on Avery Place in a residential zone for business use, claiming parking burden and lack of hardship. Graylock Corp contests denial of a 2.1 acre subdivision on Maple Jane, noting preexisting building and opposing the precedent claim as improper for the appellate body.
