[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Council of
the Town of Wethersfield 8-22-2005. Amendments noted where applicable.]
Within the territorial limits of the Town of
Wethersfield, no owner-occupied residential real property consisting
of four or fewer dwelling units may be acquired by eminent domain
for economic development purposes pursuant to Connecticut General
Statutes, §§ 8-128 to 8-133 inclusive, if the resulting
project will be privately owned or controlled. Nothing contained herein
shall be construed to limit the use of eminent domain powers for public
purposes including but not limited to the construction
of sewers, highways, sidewalks, rights-of-way, flood and erosion control
purposes or for any other transaction where the property rights acquired
will be held or controlled by the Town of Wethersfield. This chapter
shall not conflict with any subsequently enacted state law on this
subject matter.
