Structure Makes Interpertation Difficult.
I have this sentence and can't really interpert what it means:
No building shall be erected, altered, placed or permitted to remain on the
premises other than one detached single family dwelling not to exceed two
stories in height, and a private garage for not more than two cars, with the
exception of building on Front Street.
Several interpertations are possible:
a) A house maybe built.
b) A house and a garage maybe built.
c) A garage maybe built.
d) all of the above.
I believe the phrase "and a private garage for not more than two cars" being in commas makes on a) and b) possible and c) not allowed.
To think for 60+ years I am a native tongue American.
I appreciate any help can be offered.
Grin
thanks.

I believe that I answered this somewhere else some time ago, but I will give you a brief review, Tenney: 'All of the above' is correct, commas or no commas. 'And' means 'and' either way. Of course, the builder is free to build only one or the other if he does not wish to build both.

- And on Front Street he can build other things-- two houses and two garages, or an apartment complex, or a Starbucks.
