The State law <br />adopted in 1999 related to amortization only applies if the amortization took place after <br />1999, which is not the present case.) <br />H, Normal maintenance of a building or other structure containing or <br />related to a lawful non-conforming use is permitted, including necessary non-structural <br />repairs and incidental alternations which do not extend or intensify the non-conforming <br />use. <br />(We believe that the addition of electricity, night light, flag pole and gravel parking <br />violated this provision. Each has illegally intensified the non-conforming use. Similarly, <br />we believe the second dock was an illegal intensification.) <br />Subdivision 6. Lot of Record. <br />C. The separation by the transfer or sale of non-conforming, imdeveloped <br />lots not served by public sanitary sewer, aligned in a contiguous arrangement, undivided <br />by a public or private road or road easement and under same or common ownership is not <br />permitted without Council approval. Council approval is not required if the separation of <br />such lots results in individual building sites that satisfy the area and width requ*’cments <br />of the Zoning Chqiter. <br />Source: City Code <br />Effective Date: 4-1-84 <br />(We believe the applicant must show that at no time since 1984 has this substandard lot <br />been owned by any one who owned the adjacent lot. Most likely, a similar code <br />provision existed in 1968. If so, the applicant must show that at no time after January 1, <br />1968 has this lot been owned by any one who owned the adjacent lot.) <br />ni. Tests for Approval of Conditional Use Permit. <br />Even if the applicants can prove that they meet all of the above legal tests, which we <br />doubt for the reasons stated herein and in the separate memo to you, we believe that for the same <br />reasons that the applicants can not prove that they meet the standards for the issuance of a <br />37JI7BDM <br />a., <br />® 007
