Claudia  A. Weber

Town Clerk

Town of New Canaan

Town Hall

77 Main Street

New Canaan, Conn.06840

 

 

Please be advised that it is expected on or about Oct. 1,2018 that the Office of the New Canaan Town Clerk will receive a deed to be recorded whose metes and bounds description and land area contains property still on the New Canaan Town Assessor's records since 1900 as a cemetery , the Original Maple Street Cemetery.

 

M 2 Partners LLC claims ownership of this cemetery recorded by your office Dec. 14, 2012 Vol. 887 Pages 715, 716, 717 and described as an " Old Burial Ground "

and shown and designated a " Cemetery " , in part, on map no. 3736 filed in the Town Clerk's Office.

 

We believe that the Town Clerk should not record this deed because it is in violation of  Connecticut General Statutes. Our opinion is based on the fact that since Oct 1, 1935 to the present "no other persons, firms, or corporations " (LLCs ) may own a burial ground and a cemetery and no municipality ( town ) shall

alienate " any ancient burial place to any use other than that of a burial ground" as

per Conn. Gen. Stat. 19a-295, 19a-315 and 19a-135a. ( copies attached)

 

In addition if you carefully read Andrew Melillo'sDocumentary Report  ( copy in your office ) Maple Street Burial Ground , Appendix O  " Deed and Property  Analysis  F, G H and I ( the lots which comprise the area labeled Parcel P ).

M 2 Partners LLC does not have a chain of title to parcel G - the Driftway  plot

of land since no deeds of record are shown in it'sdescription , where as the  other 3 burial plots F, H,  and I do list the vol. and page of each deed in the N. C. L. R.s.

 

If the grantor and the grantee of this deed object to the Town Clerk not recording this deed they may take this matter to court and ask a Judge not to obey the Law and the Statutes of the State of Connecticut.
