Chapter 126 - Municipal Planning Commissions
Section 8-27. - Building on unaccepted streets.

Any municipality having a planning commission may, by ordinance, prohibit or regulate the issuance of building permits for the erection of buildings or structures on lots abutting unaccepted highways or streets. No such ordinance shall prevent the issuance of a building permit for the construction of (1) farm or accessory buildings which are not in violation of any lawful zoning or building regulations of the municipality, or (2) any building or structure on a site plan approved on or after June 15, 2012, pursuant to subsection (g) of section 8-3 or in a subdivision approved on or after June 15, 2012, pursuant to section 8-25, provided the approval for such site plan or subdivision has not expired. Any building erected in violation of any such ordinance shall be deemed an unlawful structure, and the municipality through the appropriate officer may bring action to enjoin the erection of such structure or cause it to be vacated or removed. Any person, firm or corporation erecting a building or structure in violation of any such ordinance may be fined not more than two hundred dollars for each building or structure so erected in addition to the relief herein otherwise granted to the municipality.

(1949 Rev., S. 860; 1951, 1953, S. 388d; 1959, P.A. 679, S. 7; P.A. 12-182, S. 3.)
History: 1959 act removed phrase “in unapproved subdivisions” in authorization to prohibit or regulate building permits, thus broadening power to include all buildings and structures not just those in unapproved subdivisions; P.A. 12-182 designated provision re farm or accessory buildings as Subdiv. (1) and added Subdiv. (2) re any building or structure on a site plan or in a subdivision approved on or after June 15, 2012, provided approval has not expired, effective June 15, 2012.
Cited. 151 C. 323. Section held not to authorize town to adopt a subdivision regulation imposing a charge against a real estate developer as a condition for granting permission to proceed with an approved subdivision plan when such charge was purportedly to cover reasonable costs incurred by the town for engineering services to inspect work done on public improvements in the subdivision. 153 C. 236.
