Fences on land platted for sugar cane
Pinellas Park's original 1911 lots were platted as farm parcels for F.A. Davis's sugar-cane colony, often ten acres or more, long before the postwar suburban subdivision that broke that farmland into today's smaller residential lots. Few nearby cities were originally platted around one single specific crop.
What that agricultural platting means for fencing
A fence project on an older Pinellas Park lot should confirm whether the property boundary follows original farm-parcel lines or a later suburban subdivision, since the two don't always match modern expectations. Assuming a modern subdivision plat instead of checking is a common mistake here.
