Heading: Plaintiffs' purchase of two view lots and their subsequent sale of one lot.

Text: Plaintiff Norman Drulard is a civil engineer. Upon moving to Portland in 1965 he and his wife looked for a view home. They purchased two lots in South Burlingame with a panoramic view to the east and northeast, extending from Mt. Hood to Mt. St. Helens. At that time they were informed of the building restrictions. These restrictions, and their intended purpose, were described by plaintiffs' attorney in a statement to the trial court as follows: The building restrictions, which are very explicit, in great detail, recognize that the main value of this property is view. Therefore, all the lots with building restrictions and everything else had been planned so as to get the best use out of the land for view and, also, to maintain it as a high quality, well kept neighborhood. [1] Plaintiffs' house is built on one lot. In 1973 plaintiffs sold the other lot to a Mr. and Mrs. Alexander, except for a thirteen-foot strip retained by them to protect their driveway.
