Was this the type of Waveny land usage envisioned by Mrs. Ruth Lapham Lloyd?
Most definitely. In her deed conveying the Waveny property, Mrs. Lloyd outlined specific permissible usages for the land – namely, projects dedicated to social, cultural and health-related activities. Her hope was that collectively, such projects would help shape a wholesome community environment for all residents of New Canaan. In keeping with her vision and commitment to the health of the community, Waveny Care Center was developed on Parcel D of the Waveny property. Identical deed restrictions that allowed Waveny to build on Farm Road apply to the Lapham Road site. Like the majority of projects built to-date on Waveny land, a CCRC on Lapham Road would be situated on its perimeter – allowing for the continued preservation of wide expanses of openness throughout the heart of the property.
