Spanish term or phrase: áreas de retiro (en un lote a construir)
Hola. En un contrato de construcción se indica:

"Se deben respetar los linderos, los retiros y los mojones"

"Prohibido colocar la planta de tratamiento, drenajes y la estructura sanitaria dentro del área de retiro".

"Puede haber muros de contención en las zonas de retiro frontal, lateral o trasera".

¿Me ayudan con "RETIROS"? Más o menos tengo la idea, pero no sé exactamente qué es y no sé cómo expresarlo en inglés.

Gracias.

Hellen
