be 110 ft., the second lot will be 110 ft. and the
third lot will be 160 ft., leaving a triangular piece
of 83 ft. The Committee determined that the triangular
piece of property will be unassessable for a total

Assessment should be reduced to 430 ft. assessable
as the 1,000 ft. is non -assessable as it abutts
wetland.
