My neighbor and I decided to put a fence between our properties, he paid half and I paid for half of the fence. I want to put more protection up on my side of the fence that ajoins to the gate.

Our Township just recently adopted zoning. We lived in a mobile home and also operated a business at the property. We recently closed our business and we removed the mobile home that was in disrepair from wind damage and just being old. The new zoning lists our former business property as Residential Single Family Dwelling. The township lot size ordinance says that that property is too small to build on. Am I protected in anyway as far as being able to put a home or another mobile home back on that lot? What are some options that I have to sell this property?
