was decided that application should be made for confirmation of (i)
an addition to Bye-Law 3 of the series made on May 10th, 1898,
and (ii) a new Bye-Law. Confirmation has not yet been received,
but it is hoped that such will shortly be the case.
The proposed addition and new Bye-Law are as follows:—
(i) Every person who shall erect a new domestic building
of which any part projects in the rear from the main part
of such building shall, in addition to the open space
required to be provided in connection with such building
by any Bye-Law in that behalf, provide on one side of
such projecting part an open space, exclusively belonging
to such building, which shall be free from any erection
thereon above the level of the ground and shall extend
laterally throughout the remaining width of such building
and longitudinally throughout the entire length of such
projecting part, and he shall cause the distance across the
last mentioned open space from the side of such projecting
part to the boundary of any lands or premises immediately
opposite the side of such new domestic building to be not
less in any case than 5 feet.
If the height of such projecting part be not less than
15 feet, or the length not less than 25 feet, but the height be
less than 25 feet and the length less than 25 feet, he shall
cause such distance to be 7 feet 6 inches at the least, or,
If the height of such projecting part be not less than
25 feet, or the length not less than 25 feet, but the height be
less than 35 feet and the length less than 35 feet, he shall
cause such distance to be 10 feet at the least.
If the height of such projecting part be not less
than 35 feet, or the length not less than 35 feet, he shall
cause such distance to be 12 feet at the least.
