Bummer! It's an article in a new section of the Citizen where you have to log in to read the article. Soon it'll probably be a paid subscription to gain access much like what happened over at The Grunter in Wolfeboro.

Anyway the article begins....

Alton lakefront owner sues over boathouse

ALTON — "A lakefront property owner has filed a lawsuit against the town for its decision in issuing a cease-and-desist order on a boathouse he was building and for decisions made by the Zoning Board of Adjustment in his appeal process."

since the article is copyrighted....

I'll summarize

the owner slightly changed the plans after they were approved....so the town then issued a Cease and Desist Order.

and we'll see what happens.

and it concludes by stating, "In town documents, Mr. C. states that the zoning restrictions interferes with the reasonable use of the property and it doesn't apply to his structure because it neither restricts any view of the lake nor impacts the use and enjoyment of neighboring properties."
