Description
This is an appeal from the action of the defendant

prior to that date, permitted the erection of the
proposed shopping center. On that day the
defendant, after a duly advertised public hearing,
adopted a so-called comprehensive plan of
development embodied in a resolution and a set of
maps, one of which included the plaintiffs' land.

special conditions." In paragraph seven of the
resolution, it was provided "that a portion of
town be reserved for a Regional Shopping Center,
the effective date of any rezoning approved after
duly publicized public hearings to be simultaneous
with the start of construction." In paragraph
nine, the defendant approved the "generalized Plan
of Development" set forth in the resolution.
Thereafter, the defendant and the town council
held a series of public hearings preparatory to,
the adoption of a new set of zoning regulations
and maps, including a map showing the plaintiffs'
land. After a public hearing on July 29, 1955, the
defendant approved proposed new zoning regulations
for the town and a new zoning map, the whole to
be presented to the town council for adoption as
an ordinance. On August 22, 1955, the town council
