The purpose of a lot width <br />measurement is to show that you have enough room to build a house on the lot. You would certainly <br />not be allowed to build the house at the inside chord line because you would be way to close to the <br />lake. Taking the measurement at the outside of the chord gives a more correct representation of where <br />you can build. <br />Sincerely, <br />GRONBERG & ASSOCIATES, INC. <br />
