The law was changed last year to remove any restriction on the height of primary structures (read "residences") last summer. We no longer require any profiles or cross sections of proposed residential structure improvements. In fact with the new rules if you are expanding upward, but not outward, with no excavation, and no increase to on-site septic, you don't need a permit from the state. You do need to make sure you meet septic loading if you are adding bedrooms and that you meet any local regulations that may exist.

...and we still issue permits for dug-in boathouses.
