Hi, Does the ; semi colon in the following sentence make the latter statement seperate from the first part of the sentence? ,in an upright position,at a distance of at least 60 feet from the right-of-way of the highway,road or street on which the subject premises fronts and at least 20 feet from an adjoining property line);and not more than two such vehicles are so stored on the subject premises at any one time;or What do you mean by 'separate'? The 'and' after the semi-colon suggests a very strong connection to the preceding part.
