Strand/BRC Group, LLC v. Board of Representatives

Summary

The court held that Stamford's Board of Representatives lacked authority to determine the validity of a protest petition after the Planning Board referred it. Because the petition lacked the required signatures as to the plaintiffs' separate master-plan amendment, the Board also lacked authority to decide that amendment on the merits, making its rejection void. The trial court's judgment sustaining the plaintiffs' appeal was affirmed.
