(b) Nothing in this section shall be construed so as to prevent building material from being placed in a situation convenient to the place intended to be built upon, if the material remains not longer than absolutely necessary for the purposes aforesaid. In no case shall the material occupy more than one-half of the street, sidewalk, or alley.
