The Atlantic Breezes development has paved private roads. The internal roads of the subdivision and all parkland areas are to be jointly owned by the lot owners.
The development will have registered design guidelines in place to ensure the high quality of new residential homes. A minimum building size of 1,200 sq.ft will be required for a new home.
Site-specific information on sources of solar, wind, and geothermal energy will be available to all lot purchasers.
The provincial Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) of 15% is applicable to all lot purchases.
