I have a 1600 sq ft ranch that sits about 25 ft from the lake. About half the home is within the 50 ft setback and half outside or past it. Can I add a second floor within the 50 ft zone as long as I stay above the existing footprint. Are there volume restrictions? For example can a 1600 sq ft home be doubled to 3200 sq ft with a second floor as long as you stay in the footprint? The home is in Wolfeboro if that matters. I am aware of the rules for what % of the lot I can cover but am unsure about going up.
