14. The land in question is not at all suitable for residential <br /> house lot development because of its peculiar location . It is bordered <br /> on the West by the Otis Trailer Village; on the North by a large gravel <br /> pit and a U. S. Government easement zone which prohibits human <br /> i, habitation; on the Past and South by '.Toody Pond, swamps, cranberry <br /> bogs, uninhabited woodland, Otis Air Force beach and parking lot and <br /> a beach on John's Pond used by Otis Trailer Village. <br /> Lt ` These surrounding conditions as well as the hilly nature of <br /> the terrain make the.
