City of ORONO <br />RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br />NO. <br />31. Denial of the rep uired variances, and therefore denial of <br />the subdivision app_ication, does not constitute a taking of <br />property or loss of substantial value because the property has <br />always been one residential building site, all of which has <br />served as required area, yard and open space for the residence <br />which continues to occupy said property. Applicant Hall pur- <br />chased the property in 1979 with a deed that defined -_he property <br />as one property containing one residence, has enjoyed its <br />benefits as a fully conforming residential lot within the LR-lC <br />Zoning District for seven years, as did the previous owners for <br />over thirty years, and can continue to enjoy the same benefits <br />and value without the requested subdivision. <br />32. The applicant has not introduced any evidence contrary to <br />any of the above findings of fact. The applicant has claimed <br />only that the property would be of greater value to him if he <br />could sell Lot A with the existing house so that he may build a <br />new home more suitable to his current needs, and particularly if <br />he can obtain full riparian rights for the proposed new building <br />site. <br />?Adopted by the City Council of the C: ty of Orono on the 27th <br />of ray, 1986. <br />ATTEST: <br />City Clerk Mayor <br />Page 9 of 9 <br />
