LOT

In the context of drafting of deed, The term "lot" is sometimes used in restrictive sense as a wood lot, a house lot, or a store lot, but where the term is used unqualifiedly, especially if it refers to a lot in a certain range or right, it is almost uniformly used in a technical sense and means a lot in a township as duly laid out by the  original proprietors. Lots from lands which have been surveyed and laid out in ranges and townships which are numbered in regular sequence may be sold and described by number and range without a more particular description. In the absence of qualifying words, the designation of the number of a lot will be taken to refer to the original place of the city or town.

Generally speaking, in a conveyance of fractional part of a designated lot, the word "lot" refers to that portion of the premises set aside for private use, and hence does not include the right to occupancy of any part of a street on which it abuts.
