(a.) In cases where there is a sewer within 100 ft. of the site of the said building, the said site is not less than one-eighth of an acre in area, and has a frontage to a public or private road or street of not less than 33 ft.; or

(b.) Where there is no such sewer, the site of the said building is not less than one-quarter of an acre in area, and has a frontage as aforesaid of not less than 66 ft.

(2.) Every person who fails to maintain for any such building the minimum area and frontage specified herein, and every owner of any such building, in respect of which the minimum area and frontage has not been maintained, who occupies or permits the same to be occupied, shall be deemed to commit a breach of this by-law.

(3.) Any person guilty of a breach of this by-law shall be liable to the penalties provided in Part XXIII of the said by-laws of the 2nd day of December, 1909.

Given under the common seal of the Department of Tourist and Health Resorts, this 9th day of January, 1913.
