the property has to be divided by mete and bounds and in case it is not so, it should be sold and sale proceeds to be divided equally.
i differ. the only thing is to be seen is if the authority allows horizontal division of the property. If so, then you may divide 9 x 72 or 18 x 36 per your mutual agreement as to the direction.
It is a case of mutual agreement. You two should work out a settlement. If the value of the front is higher than the back portion, you may change dimensions; the person getting front may be given less area and the person getting back portion may get more area so that the total value is balanced.
e.g. instead of 18 x 36, it could possibly be : 18 x 26 (front) ;and 18 x 46 (back) or any other such combination as may be mutually agreed.
