8:00 p.m. TOPIC: Affordable Housing Appeals as governed by Connecticut General Statutes Sec. 8-30g

Many land use commissions have been informed by developers that unless their application for housing is approved, an affordable housing application will be submitted. The legal implications of an affordable housing application on a land use commission’s discretion as well as the likely outcome of an appeal to the Superior Court will be addressed by our speaker. While the Affordable Housing Appeal process has been in existence for over 30 years, there are still questions regarding its effect on the land use process.

Principal speaker: Hon. Marshall K. Berger

A retired Superior Court Judge, Marshal Berger established and presided over the land use docket, a specialized superior court assignment that focused exclusively on land use and environmental cases, for nearly a decade. Additionally, he taught land use law as an adjunct professor at the UConn School of Law. Judge Berger is widely respected and admired for his knowledge and expertise in land use matters.
