[Ord. 113, 10/1/1948]
The building line for the respective locations on the streets of Red Lion Borough shall be the line specified in Column E of the table entered in § 21-108 of this Part. (Note: It is important to note that building lines are also affected by the setback provisions in Chapter 27, "Zoning.") As shown on said table, the building line is fixed by a prescribed distance measured horizontally from and perpendicular to the face of the curb. No building shall be located in front of said building line; provided, however, that ornamental parts of a building including, but not restricted to, eaves and cornices, shall be allowed to extend 18 inches in front of said building line at or above, for each piece, parcel or lot of ground, the horizontal plane fixed eight feet six inches measured vertically above the highest point of the curb in front of said piece, parcel, or lot of ground; provided further, however, that in the case of a building located on a lot adjoining two streets at an intersection, the building line of the street on which such building faces shall prevail, and the building line for the other street of the intersection shall not be the line specified in said table but shall be the line fixed 10 feet measured horizontally from and perpendicular to the face of the curb, unless the obstruction line hereinafter provided for shall exceed 10 feet, in which case the obstruction line shall be used as the building line. This section shall be construed to apply only to the erection, alteration, or replacement of buildings made subsequent to the effective date of this Part.
[Ord. 113, 10/1/1948]
The width of actual sidewalk for the respective locations on the streets of Red Lion Borough shall be the width specified in the column entitled "Width of Sidewalk" of the table entered in § 21-108 of this Part. The line for the back of said sidewalk shall be the line specified in the column entitled "Back of Sidewalk Line" of said table. As shown in said table such line is fixed by a prescribed distance measured horizontally from, and perpendicular to the face of the curb. This section shall apply only to the erection, replacement or substantial repair of sidewalks made subsequent to the effective date of this Part.
[Ord. 113, 10/1/1948]
The total width reserved for sidewalk purposes for the respective locations on the streets of Red Lion Borough shall be the width between the inside edge of curb and the line specified in Column D of the table entered in § 21-108 of this Part. As shown in said table, such line is fixed by a prescribed distance measured horizontally from and perpendicular to the face of the curb. The area described by said width shall have no vertical obstructions except trees planted for shade next to curb and signs, poles, or other things erected by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Borough of Red Lion or utility companies; provided, however, that all vertical obstructions, except steps to a building or parts of a building hereinafter provided for, existing on the effective date of this Part shall be allowed so long as they are in good repair and not dangerous; provided further, however, that vertical obstructions constituting steps to a building or parts of a building shall be allowed to be repaired, changed or replaced wherever such repair, change or replacement shall not result in an obstruction which is closer to the curbline and wherever an alteration or replacement of a building does not occur. Said Borough shall not be liable for any injuries or damages sustained directly or indirectly as a result of the vertical obstructions allowed in the above proviso clauses.
[Ord. 113, 10/1/1948]
This Part shall not be construed as regulating, limiting, controlling, or providing for signs except those provided for in § 21-103 hereof, canopies, marquises, or awnings.
[Ord. 113, 10/1/948]
The following words shall for the purpose of this Part have the meanings herein indicated:
ALTERATION
Any substantial change in the supporting or structural members of a building.
BUILDING
An erection intended for use and occupation as a habitation or for some purpose of trade, manufacture, ornament, or use; any structure affording shelter to persons, animals, or chattels.

VERTICAL OBSTRUCTION
An erection of a permanent nature beginning on or in the ground and rising above the level of the ground, including but not restricted to walls.
[Ord. 113, 10/1/1948]
In interpreting and applying the provisions of this Part, they shall be held to be the minimum requirements for the promotion of the health, safety, and general welfare of the Borough and its citizens.
[Ord. 113, 10/1/1948; as amended by Ord. 9711-6, 11/12/1997, § 180-7; and by Ord. 2009-09-02, 9/14/2009]
For any and every violation of the provisions of this Part, the owner, general agent, or contractor of a building or premises whereon, or in front of which in the case of abutting sidewalks, such violation has been committed or shall exist, and the lessee or tenant of an entire building or entire premises whereon, or in front of which in the case of abutting sidewalks, such violation has been committed or shall exist, and the general agent, architect, builder, contractor, or any other person who knowingly commits, takes part or assists in any such violation or who maintains any building or premises on which, or in front of which in the case of abutting sidewalks, any such violation, upon conviction thereof, shall be sentenced to a fine of not more than $1,000 plus costs and, in default of payment of said fine and costs, to a term of imprisonment not to exceed 30 days. Each day that a violation of this Part continues or each section of this Part which shall be found to have been violated shall constitute a separate offense, and whenever such person shall have been notified by the Borough Secretary or by service of summons in a prosecution or in any other way that he is committing such violation of this Part, each day that he shall continue such violation after such notification shall constitute a separate offense punishable by a like fine or penalty. Such fines or penalties shall be collected as like fines or penalties are now by law collected.
[Ord. 113, 10/1/948; as amended by Ord. 122, 9/6/1950; by Ord. 8712-13, 12/9/1987; and by Ord. 966-2, 6/12/1996]
The table referred to in the above sections is as follows. (The purpose of including in the table the width between curbs is to fix the line of the face of the curb for computation of measurements given in this Part in the event that curbs are removed or destroyed.)
