He said the lot is assessed at $153,000 and taxes have been paid since early 50's. Mr. Govoni asked if the lot was in common ownership with adjoining lots. Mr. Hauck explained that it was and became non-conforming in 1971. Mr. Govoni explained that zoning was changed in 1990 which eliminated the protection of non-conforming lots in common ownership.
