You're spot on in terms of the subjectiveness. What about seasonal views? In the winter, lots of us have views. As soon as there are leaves on the trees, viola, no view. IMHO, asses the property at market value and be done with it. The scariest part is that it seems most town charters allow the selectmen to make the decision with out a referendum. Sure, you can vote them out, but by that time the damage is done.
