Describing a Line Offset from a Building
Hello, I am describing an easement, and a portion of it follows a line that is offset 1′ from a building. The excerpt below follows the form I’ve used in the past, but I’m don’t love it and am wondering if anyone has a more succinct method. For example, I’ve always wondered about prolgations of parallel lines – is a prolongation necessary or does a line parallel with something extend infinitely?
In the screenshot, the red lines are the building and the heavy white line is the easement boundary.
thence leaving said west line and continuing North 89°34’59” West 79.74 feet to a line 1.00 foot east of and parallel with the east face of a building;
thence along said parallel line and the northernly prolongation thereof North 01°57’43” West 7.50 feet to the easterly prolongation of a line 1.00 feet north of and parallel with the north face of said building;
thence with said easterly prolongation and parallel line South 88°22’48” West 10.38 feet to the west line of the aforementioned Lot 4
Thanks in advance for any feedback!
