ton You don't have to build, but if YOU do
build you must put the house on the back OF the
lot at least so feet from the front line or spend
at least $1,000 on it. In other words. the build
ing restriction is $1,000, but we permit small
homes on the back of the lots We believe later
ON the people who build on the back of the lot
will be able to afford a larger house the front
