Description
On January 5, 1961, the planning commission of Ridgefield gave its approval to a final plan for the subdivision of property owned by Thomas Baggott. One of the lots on this plan had an area of 1.001 acres. The zoning commission, which in Ridgefield is independent of the planning commission, changed the zone of certain property, of which the property in question was a part, from residence R1 to residence RAA. This change became effective November 11, 1960, and resulted in the increase of the minimum area of lots from one to two acres. See Ridgefield Zoning Regs. 4(B) (1961). Claiming that the planning commission acted illegally in approving a subdivision containing a lot of less than two acres, the plaintiffs appealed to the Court of Common Pleas, which upheld their contention and set aside the commission's approval. Wildwood Ridge at Ridgefield, Inc., hereinafter referred to as the defendant, having purchased the lot in question and erected a dwelling thereon, has appealed to us, seeking a reversal of the judgment of the Court of Common Pleas and a reinstatement of the ruling by the planning commission.
