Castle Lane Developers LLC has filed a notice of intent to sue the city, saying the city’s outdated copy of the City of Ansonia Zoning Regulations in Ansonia City Hall contributed to the denial of a 23-lot subdivision off Castle Lane in Ansonia. The zoning code — a book of local land regulations — hadn’t been updated in nine years, according to the letter of intent filed May 7 by attorney Danielle Bercury.
