I don't have doubts, I am fully aware of when the approval was given for this project. I am really just splitting hairs on "more than 10 years", that should read literally as just over the 10 year mark, by months.
It is quite common for towns to have "tighter" zoning regs than the state, New London is one such town in regard to shoreland zoning, but to flat deny the ability to conform to the state prescribed regulations of an approved structure on state controlled waters, seems bold!
Do you know the reasoning behind that decision?
