Final survey required to verify zoning compliance.
*A recent property survey has revealed an encroachment on the interior side lot, which includes a second -floor overhang eave and
fencing that extends into the neighboring property. Both property owners need to be informed of this encroachment as
it may necessitate remediation efforts that could impact the future development of the principal dwelling.
