Ridgeway <br />dated October 14, 1988 stating his opposition to the variance . <br />Mr. Halpern reported that he had driven down the road twice, <br />once in a rain storm, and that he had no problem in reaching the property. <br />He stated that he thought a fire truck could get to the property. <br />Mr. Hanrahan questioned if denial of the petition could be <br />construed as a taking. Attorney Kirraine replied that a denial would <br />render the property virtually unusuable and he would not hesitate to <br />bring a case for a regulatory taking. <br />Mr. Hanrahan read an earlier memo from the Fire Department <br />dated September 28, 1988 stating that the Fire Department had access to <br />the lot.
