When this approximately 8 '/� acre lot was subdivided and platted, one lot was inadvertently made slightly smaller than two acres (1.83). According to the Blackthorn Covenants, Article 4.8, lots in the Corporate Office park area must be at least two acres. Article 3.5 of the Covenants addresses how exceptions are to be handled.
