It amazes me what people get away with on islands. I am seeing bars, tiki type, large wooden structures,things of that nature going up right on the shoreline. I haven't seen any permits posted. I thought there were shoreline conservation groups that kept an eye on this stuff.
When I had my dock built, the convervation commission in Tuftonboro told me that I could never have an awning over it. Yet within view of my place there is a relatively new wooden cover over a u - shaped dock.
There is one place that has built stuff that totally covers their shore front. What an eyesore.
I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
