C
to require
no special comment. It takes the place of section 6 of Ordinance 18 of 1894, which is repealed by this Ordinance. Section 6 of the Ordinance embodies the recommendations of the Sanitary Board with respect to the height of buildings erected on land required from the Crown after the passing of this Ordinance.
It is more stringent in this respect than the provisions of section 12 of Ordinance 15 of 1894, as amended by Ordinance 21 of 1897.
Section ... contains the recommendations of the Sanitary Board with regard to the minimum area of backyards in existing buildings. It goes a little further than the report of the Unsanitary Properties Commissioners in that it aims at a minimum open space at the rear of fifty feet instead of forty feet.
Sub-section (C) allows for the Sanitary Board, with the consent of the Governor-in-Council, making exceptions in certain special cases.
This is necessary owing to the peculiar construction of certain back-to-back houses, the floors of which overlap and thus render the provision of an open space in the rear practically impossible.
Section ... contains the recommendations of the Board with respect to open spaces or, in the alternative, lanes.
