All you need is a foundation wall or site plan on record and you are grandfathered for the set back of an existing lot. You do not need to leave anything standing at all (take her all the way to the earth). In fact the new shore land protection act makes the tear-down-rebuild so much easier if you stay in the footprint. We bid to build a house on Lake Sunapee that was approved with only 55 square feet of the 7,500 sf footprint conforming. All you need is an application for a variance. Now back to your regular scheduled thread. Sorry for the hijack.
