No building or structure shall be erected nor shall any building permit be issued for the erection of any building or structure on any lot abutting or having sole access to any street which has been accepted for public use or as a Town highway in accordance with Article VI, except as provided in Article 8, Section 2 of the Town of Newtown Zoning Regulations (also codified at §§ 595-192 through 595-195 of the Code of the Town of Newtown Connecticut). The First Selectman shall certify in writing to the building official when a proposed road meets the requirement of this chapter for public use. For the purposes of this section, "public use" shall mean that the first course of pavement for a street in an approved subdivision shall have been installed and approved by the First Selectman or his agent.
Any person, firm or corporation who or which erects a building or structure in violation of § 185-57 above shall be fined not more than $200 for each building or structure so erected in addition to any penalties or relief granted to the municipality which may be provided by any other regulations, ordinances or statutes.

Sections 185-57 and 185-58 hereof shall not apply to non-Town-owned roads and ways which were laid out prior to February 8, 1956, or to streets shown on maps approved by the Commission (or Newtown Planning Commission) prior to October 2, 1967, where the intention that such streets remain forever non-Town-owned roads was set forth on the approved subdivision map and/or in the deeds of conveyance of the lots from the subdivider.
