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??
I do not have an answer, but you sound as if you may have used the same engineer that we did back in 1993 as all my paperwork stated the exact same thing, "Pre 1967". I being on the safe side placed my home 50' from waters edge even knowing I could place it closer. Hey, the kids can walk the extra 20' without killing them. Am I right??? It also gives the family a bit more lawn to mow and/or take care of or just move around in playing games.
