The objective of this chapter is to preserve certain roads or
portions of roads within the Town of Winchester that are scenic and/or
have historic significance. This preservation effort shall balance
the need to provide safe and convenient public transportation routes
with the need to preserve scenic and historic areas within the Town
of Winchester.
The Planning and Zoning Commission is hereby authorized, in
accordance with C.G.S. § 7-149a, to designate any Town public
highway, right-of-way or portion thereof as a scenic road. Such designation
approval or denial shall then be submitted to the Town of Winchester
Board of Selectmen for final action.
Any person aggrieved by action of the Planning and Zoning Commission
to approve or deny a scenic road application may appeal such action
as provided for under C.G.S. § 8-8.
The lawful rights of all parties in property abutting a road
or portion of road designated scenic shall not be diminished in any
way.
