':1 t J The plat shows Lot 5, Block 6, North Shore Park to be sliphtly over 35 feet on Sunset Drive and 63 and a fraction wide at the back. When I had this lot surveyed, I found there was an error in the measurement and the lot actually measures 44.38' in front and 72.38' at the back of the lot, which is l5e.5' deep. The house which we plan to build would be set back from Sunset Drive about 40 feet and at this point the buildin~ would be well away from the 20 ft. restriction line but the back of the house would be wider and it is at this point that, I would like to have a little leeway on the 20 ft. restriction.
