peer agreement (net): +2land where the buildings are (to be) located Explanation: It's just a fancy way of saying that. In theory the word "assiette" in this meaning is confined to roads ("surface du terrain effectivement occupée par une route", Dicobat, and very similar def. in Larousse Lexis). It's probably related to the word "sis" meaning "located at". |
