Default Existing Footprint includes porches but not deck.

In Gilford you can enclosed a covered porch and make it part of the living space but you can't used an existing deck. Even with current shoreline laws a covered porch on the lakeside can be converted to be part of the structure.

What I have seen a number of owners do is build a 'temporary' deck and cover it with tarp to circumvent the laws.
