Wanted to pass this updated info along as it conflicted with my earlier post.
If anyone knows something different on getting a future house grandfathered to the existing rule without actually building the house it would be very valuable info.

I have a question regarding your findings. When I built in Alton in 1994 it was stated by my engineer on all paperwork to the town for layout of house and septic system that my property was "
Pre 1967 and grandfathered at the distance of 30' from the water). I have no idea what is meant by Pre 1967 and never asked as all I wanted was to build a home and build it legal. Was anything like this mentioned to you when you went to the town offices??
