PART III.

BUILDING AND OVERCROWDING BY-LAW.

1. No person shall erect a new dwellinghouse within the
   district, except in conformity with the following provisions:—

Definition of Site.

(a.) The ground upon which any dwellinghouse is erected,
together with the whole curtilage thereof enclosed within
the boundary-fences, walls, or lines of the premises, shall be
deemed to be the site of such dwellinghouse within the
meaning of these by-laws.

Definition of New Dwellinghouse.

(b.) The erection of a dwellinghouse upon vacant land,
or upon a site previously occupied by any building, or the
re-erection of any house pulled down to within 5 ft. of the
ground floor, or the conversion into a dwellinghouse of any
building not originally constructed for human habitation, or
the conversion into more than one dwellinghouse of a building
originally constructed as one dwellinghouse only, or an addi-
tion to or raising of a house (so far as such addition or raising
is concerned), or the procuring of an existing dwellinghouse
or of any other building or part of a building intended to be
re-erected and used as a dwellinghouse or part of a dwelling-
house, and placing the same upon a site in the district, shall
be deemed to be the erection of a new dwellinghouse within
the meaning of this Part of these by-laws.

Plans to be provided.

(c.) The erection of a new dwellinghouse shall not be
commenced or proceeded with until the person who proposes
to carry out such work shall have made application to the
Clerk in the form A set forth in the Schedule to this Part of
these by-laws. Such person shall at the same time lodge
with the Clerk complete plans (in duplicate) showing the
block-plan and sections of the said site, the measurement
of the area thereof, and the measurements of the height and
distance from the boundaries of such dwellinghouse, as
required by the provisions of this Part of these by-laws.
Such plan and sections shall be in ink on drawing-paper or
tracing-cloth, and shall be to a scale not less than ⅛ in. to the
foot. The Board shall be entitled to retain one copy of the
said plans. Provided always that if the work proposed to
be done is of such a trivial nature as in the opinion of the
Board not to require the preparation of such plans and
sections the Board may dispense with their production. If
all conditions required by this by-law are or can be fulfilled
by the proposed works as described in such plans, a permit
for the erection of the dwellinghouse shall be issued by the
Clerk in the form B in such Schedule, and such erection shall
not be commenced or proceeded with until such permit shall
have been issued, and then not otherwise than in accordance
and in conformity with the said plans.

Building-site Area.

(d.) Except as hereinafter provided, no person shall erect
a new dwellinghouse in the district upon a site of a less area
than a quarter of an acre, and unless such site shall have a
frontage of at least 50 ft. to a public road. Provided that
nothing in this clause shall be deemed to prevent the erection
of a new dwellinghouse upon any land which has a frontage
of less than 50 ft. to a public road if—

(a.) The said dwellinghouse shall have an uninterrupted
and unbroken frontage for its full width to a public
road; and

(b.) The area of such land shall be as follows,—

(i.) Not less than three-eighths of an acre, if the
frontage thereof to a public road is less than 50 ft.
but not less than 40 ft.

(ii.) Not less than four-eighths of an acre, if the
frontage thereof to a public road is less than
40 ft. but not less than 30 ft.

(iii.) Not less than five-eighths of an acre, if the
frontage thereof to a public road is less than 30 ft.
but not less than 20 ft.

(e.) Where a new dwellinghouse shall be erected upon any
land in conformity with these by-laws, no person shall reduce
or cause to be reduced the area provided for thereby so as
to become less than the
minimum area hereby provided for; and such area shall be
maintained as the exclusive curtilage of and shall be solely
appropriated to every such new dwellinghouse.

(f.) Where any new dwellinghouse shall be erected in con-
formity with these by-laws upon any land, no person shall
sell or dispose of, or purchase or acquire, any estate or interest
less than the whole of the minimum area provided for by
these by-laws.

(g.) Clause (f) of this Part of these by-laws shall not apply
if no house shall be upon the land at the time of such sale,
disposition, purchase, or acquisition.

Site-formation.

(h.) The ground on which any new dwellinghouse is to be
erected, and the ground immediately adjoining any such
new dwellinghouse, shall be so formed and graded by the
person erecting the same that no water can lodge thereon
or under such house, or run under such house; and no person
shall commence the erection of any building on any site
having matter thereon which may prove injurious to the
health of the occupants of such building.

Air-spaces.

(i.) No person shall erect a new dwellinghouse in the
district unless he provides at the side or in the rear thereof
an open space exclusively belonging to such house, and of
an aggregate area of not less than 600 square feet. Provided
that such open space shall extend throughout the entire
width or, in the alternative, throughout the entire depth
of the site, and shall be free from any erection thereon above
the level of the ground, and shall be so maintained while
the site is occupied by the house. Provided also that it
shall be sufficient if an open space provided at the rear and
side of any dwellinghouse is equal to one and a half times
that hereinbefore required to be provided, even though the
open space does not extend throughout the entire width or,
in the alternative, throughout the entire depth of the site.
Provided also that the minimum distance across such open
space from every part of any dwellinghouse and from every
part of any wash-house, shed, convenience, or other erection
attached thereto shall be as follows:—
