The appellants appealed the refusal of the Chief Building Official to issue building permits for lots created by a testamentary devise.
The municipality refused the permits because the lots did not front onto an improved street as required by the zoning by-law.
The appellants proposed creating internal roadways owned by the lot owners to connect to public streets.
The court held that this proposal did not satisfy the by-law's requirement that the lots themselves front upon an improved street, and dismissed the appeals.
