FINDING YOUR PROPERTY LINES

The resort lots have not been individually surveyed and property lines are approximate. The majority of resort lots are 50 feet wide x 60 feet deep. You can estimate the front lot line by measuring 3 feet from the edge of the road and then 60 feet to the rear. You are better off to check with your district director or have members of the Board help find your lot lines. Normally the width is established by an existing wall or fence.

You can also estimate the depth by finding the center of the street and then measuring half the width of the street to the lot and then measure 60 feet to the rear.

If your lot is from D88 through G125 you can find your front lot line by measuring 60 feet from halfway between the electric pedestals towards the street. Remember, the paved street edge is not your lot line and all improvements must not cover or impede access to utility lines and are required to be a minimum of three (3) feet from rear property line.
