It all started with Paul Garlasco and his driveway.
The attorney, who practices in New Milford, and his wife owned property in Bridgewater where they wanted to build a home. But the parcel was landlocked that is, had no direct street access and so they needed a zoning variance to build the house and a driveway to it. The applicaton was denied in 2005 and, since then, Garlasco has had a running feud with William Stuart, the longtime first selectman of the small, upscale town in southern Litchfield County.
