How does this apply to cottages on islands? Maybe not construction in this case but grounds work?
We rented from a family that had a main cottage and a 1 room cottage on the property. Both buildings are very much closer than this 50' rule (or SAMIAM's 30' example). These cabins just sit on a rockwall base not a formal footing and all cabins are over 60 years old. There is no lawn or garden areas. Blueberry bushes separate the building from waters rocky edge. Pine needles have long since covered the dirtand the only landscape work is to rake off the newest pine needles (pine sap is such a nuisance on barefeet and sticky in the house) sort of making a path bordered with fallen white birch branches.
