Sec. 22a-354r. Findings on appeal. Setting aside or modifying action. Authority to purchase land. - Connecticut Statutes

      Sec. 22a-354r. Findings on appeal. Setting aside or modifying action. Authority to purchase land. (a) If upon appeal pursuant to section 22a-354q, the court finds that the action appealed from constitutes the equivalent of a taking without compensation, it shall set aside the action or it may modify the action so that it does not constitute a taking. In both instances the court shall remand the order to the aquifer protection agency for action not inconsistent with its decision.

      (b) To carry out the purposes of sections 22a-354o to 22a-354t, inclusive, or section 14 of public act 89-305*, a municipality may at any time purchase land or an interest in land in fee simple or other acceptable title, or subject to acceptable restrictions or exceptions, and enter into covenants and agreements with landowners.

      (P.A. 89-305, S. 11, 32.)

      *Note: Section 14 of public act 89-305 is special in nature and therefore has not been codified but remains in full force and effect according to its terms.
