Although I do wonder why the boathouse wasn't taken down at the same time as it seems to have been in as much disrepair as the main house.
I have heard a "confidential rumor" of a prominent local architect being contracted to build a house for for the former president. It seems until one or the other happens, rumors will continue.
Confidential rumour? My interest is piqued, Conch!
Hi Guys,
The boathouse is definitely in today's no build zone (too close the ocean) and wouldn't be allowed to be built now in that location. I can't remember what the setbacks are, but I know we discussed it somewhere in this thread. I believe the boathouse is grandfathered in for now (assuming it stays standing as it's in real rough shape) and they probably didn't want to close that door until they knew for sure what they were going to build.....maybe they'll keep the structure and use it as their own boathouse.....a longshot, but you never know....once it's gone, it's gone for good in that location so one should take their time and weigh out the options. Maybe he/they/? are splitting it into three to create one lot for Marty, one for Obama and one for all the security they will need
......who knows, one can come up with loads of scenarios.
Sec. 23-1.4 Shoreline setback line.
(a) General Rule. Except as otherwise provided in this section, the shoreline setback line shall be established 40 feet inland
from the certified shoreline.
(b) Adjustment of Shoreline Setback Line on Shallow Lots. Where the depth of the buildable area of a lot, as measured
seaward from its inland edge, is reduced to less than 30 feet, the shoreline setback line shall be adjusted to allow a
minimum depth of buildable area of 30 feet; provided that the adjusted shoreline setback line shall be no less than 20 feet
from the certified shoreline.
(c) Adjustment of Shoreline Setback Line Related to the Construction of a Shore Protection Structure. Once a shoreline has
been certified from which a shoreline setback line can be established, no shoreline setback line shall be established farther
seaward as the result of a subsequent certified shoreline survey following the construction of a shore protection structure.
On a lot where the certified shoreline is permanently fixed by a shore protection structure, the shoreline setback line shall
be established by measuring inland from the shoreline, as it was located prior to the construction of the shoreline protection
structure.
Where the shore protection structure was constructed without a shoreline survey first being made and certified by the state
department of land and natural resources, the director shall determine the prior location of the shoreline solely for the
purpose of establishing the shoreline setback line. In so doing, the director shall consider the actual location of the high
wash of the waves during the year and the location of the shoreline and the shoreline setback line on adjacent properties.
The resulting shoreline setback line may be further than 40 feet from the shoreline established by the department of land
utilization following construction of the shore protection structure.
