by Art. 21]
A. Proximity to lines of ways. No portion of a building, except eaves,
downspouts and uncovered steps, shall be built or erected within 15
feet from the nearest exterior line of any public way or any private
way shown on a plan approved by the board of survey or its successors,
or open for public use.
B. Proximity of dwellings to certain lot lines. No portion of a building except as provided for dwelling houses as set out in Subsection
A with the exception of eaves of a roof, downspouts and uncovered steps shall be built or erected nearer than 15 feet from the nearest exterior line of any public way or private way shown on a plan approved by the board of survey or its successors or open for public use.
C. Construction sites must abut public way. No permit for the construction
of any type of structure, whether residential, business, commercial
or manufacturing shall be issued by the building inspector unless
the land on which construction is proposed has frontage on a public
way. Permits for construction of any type structure proposed on land
which does not have frontage on a public way shall not be issued unless
the street is on a duly approved and recorded subdivision plan.
D. Violations; penalty; notice. If any person violates any of the requirements
of this chapter or any amendment thereof, or any permit issued thereunder,
he shall, except when otherwise provided in this chapter or by statute,
be liable to a penalty not exceeding $100 for each violation thereof.
The building inspector upon discovery of such violation shall give
notice in writing to such person or to the owner of the premises where
such violation occurs, and may order such person or owner to remove
any part of a structure erected in violation or do such other acts
as the inspector deems necessary in order to comply with the requirements
of this chapter and of such permit. If after such notice such person
or owner continues such violation or fails to obey any such lawful
order of the inspector, the inspector may revoke the permit for the
work in connection with which such, violation occurred, and it shall
thereupon become unlawful for the owner or contractor to proceed with
such work.
