The purpose of this chapter is to further implement the powers and execute the responsibilities of the Town of New Canaan under the Connecticut General Statutes and under its Charter, particularly, but without limitation, Charter § C1-3(9) relating to the regulation of the design, construction and use of buildings within the town.

No improvement shall be constructed on any real property of which the town is the record owner, nor shall any improvement whatsoever be constructed by authority of any board or agency, the capital or operating budget of which is contained in appropriations which must be approved by the Town Council, unless the Town Council shall have first approved the construction of such improvement. Approval by the Town Council of an appropriation for the construction of an improvement shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of this chapter.
