As you know, the NH Shoreline Protection Law became effective last July 1, and before that there supposedly was somewhat of a rush by builders to get building permits approved.
For 2009, it looks like the area slowdown in building will continue due to tight mortgage money and the economic depression and loss of jobs.
When building gets going again the new plans will need to get the go-ahead from the state DES as part of their building permit approval as well as the local building inspector.
Many waterfront lots are pretty small....maybe one half acre in size....some smaller...some bigger. Does the new SLA spell the end for building the mcmansion that basically spans across the whole width of a waterfront lot.
Is SLA the end for the mcmansion? How...oh how...will people be able to live without a 15 rm house w/ 4 1/2 baths, two fireplaces, 70k worth of granite counters in the kitchen, a mud room bigger than a garage, and a three-car garage? How will they get along......oh-my-gawd
