Legislative History

(P.A. 75-317; P.A. 77-509, S. 4; P.A. 88-338, S. 3, 5.) History: P.A. 77-509 included reference to chapter 126; P.A. 88-338 added special exemptions granted under Sec. 8-2g. Cited. 189 C. 573. Appellate Court improperly determined that conditions attached to granting of variance must be explicitly stated in certificate of variance and construed solely on the basis of the language in the certificate; rather, such conditions should be construed by considering entire public record. 307 C. 728. Cited. 18 CA 85; 30 CA 395; judgment reversed, see 230 C. 452.
