The information below is a copy of a section of the Eastern Shore (West) Land Use By-law for the R-6 (rural residential) zone. The 100-foot frontage on local roads requirement has been on the books since 1996. HRM has admitted granting at least 9 building permits that violated this provision, and Save Rural HRM estimates that there are many more. HRM now says that all of these permits were issued in error. The Cooperator has asked city officials for an explanation of why HRM decided to start enforcing this by-law after ignoring it for 20 years. Thus far, HRM has not provided an explanation.
