The lot is probably not much more than 250' deep and has roughly 250' of frontage. Based on that, it sounds like it would take an awfully huge footprint (being on an island without a driveway) to even come close to the new law being an issue.
One last question and I will leave you alone. Right now, the footprint being 1100+/- square feet is actually 30+/- feet from shore in the front I estimate. Would it be acceptable to build the new structure behind the existing structure (and off to the side a bit), meeting the 50' setback and when complete remove the old structure? The existing structure is on an above-ground stone foundation (nothing sub-surface). Total footage between the two even during the interim would not exceed 8712 square feet.
This basically gives us the ability to live in and use the old structure while the new one is being built.
