Dear Chairperson Weisman and Members of the Board:
This letter is in response to the letter of Patricia C. Moore, Esq. dated July 25,
2024. The examples cited by Ms. Moore in her letter are completely inapposite to the
facts of the instant matter. Those examples, whereby the ZBA recognized lots for
reasons not enumerated in the Town Code’s Lot Recognition provision, involved
government action resulting from a taking of land by condemnation or a split of the
land caused by the laying out of a road.
The Applicants can claim no such similar hardship or circumstance that would
justify the granting of lot recognition for a reason not enumerated in the Code. Instead,
the only evidence presented is that the land was assigned two different tax map
designations to facilitate the collection of taxes based on the use classification and the
improvements thereupon. The ZBA should not be persuaded by such a faulty
comparison to the instant matter.
Sincerely,
Martha F. Reichert
