i.
For a rectangular lot, the width of a lot shall be determined by a straight
line 7.5 m from and parallel to the frontage of the lot;

lot area less than that of any existing lot which is less than the minimum
requirements prior to replot;
(k)
Where the land proposed for subdivision is intended to complete a previous
subdivision within a block in which a substantial number of smaller lots have been
created, the minimum dimensional and/or area requirements may be reduced so
that the new lots to be created are similar in lot dimensions and size of the
existing lots within the block; provided, however, that such reduction shall not
result in a dimension or lot area less than 85% of the average lot within the block

located; and
ii.
Where as a result of dedication of land for road widening purposes, the
yards and setbacks of an existing building or structure are rendered non-
conforming to the yard and setback requirements of the Zone, the said
yards and setbacks shall be deemed to be conforming to the requirements
of that Zone; and
