^ ;• <br />MEMORANDUM <br />si <br />TO: <br />FROM: <br />DATE: <br />RE: <br />Brad Brassier, Planning Assistant. City of Orono <br />Thomas BanfftAV <br />January 16, 1998 <br />Bredeson Variances <br />Brad. I have reviewed the material you provided me with respect to this property. The <br />questions you put are these: do the sewer payment made for the property, and the apparent <br />terms of the agreement in 1972 compel the City to provide, as a matter of law, variances to <br />the Zoning code sufficient to allow construction of a residence on the property. <br />I conclude that the City is not required as a matter of law to provide such variances. <br />property has not paid for sewer stub, which has ordinarily been strongly conclusive evidence <br />that the property is intended to support a residence. The lineal footage payments which were <br />made for the property do not have the same strong claims which payment for a sewer stub <br />would have. Secondly, the terms settling the condemnation arising out of the lift station do <br />not represent an agreement by the City that the lot was buildablc. All that the City agreed to <br />was this: the existence of the lift station on the property did not affect the question whether or <br />ndt the lot was buildablc. <br />Please let me know whether you have any funber questions, <br />082/27152273 ]l\6nk
