In applying this rule, if the aggregate per cent of ownership of two or more family members, as defined below, exceeds five per cent or more, then each and every family member with an ownership interest must be licensed. A "family member" is a spouse or blood relative of a single family, limited to children, parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, grandparents, nieces or nephews.
