Members sitting: E, Govoni, C. Hawver, K. Marsters Attorney Robert Mills represented the applicant and presented plans of a 1947 subdivision of Wilfred Wheeler. He said Mrs. Hodgman owns a vacant lot of 29,600 square feet adjacent to a lot on which she has a home. He said that zoning has been changed from lot sizes of 20,000 square feet to 80,000 square feet. He cited a case of Willard vs. the Town of Orleans which stated that the provisions of Chapter 6 on adjacent lots in the same ownership applied to vacant land only. The lots have always been assessed separately and the vacant lot is one of the few left in the area and the intention was to have it for a single family residence. Mr. Mills said that without relief there is no use of the land. Ms. Hawver questioned when the land was purchased and was informed the Hodgmans have owned in since 1963.
