A tree 6 inches from your roof edge would be considered exempt from the basal area calculation currently required by the Shoreland Protection Act. Even if were not exempt it would hopefully not account for 50% of the basal area of trees existing on your lot. Please note that Laconia allows no tree removal within a certian distance to the water (I believe 50 ft) and Moultonborough has a separate standard also which is completely different from the states.
