The City has always maintained that anything on the water was a state matter and Laconia's jurisdiction ended at the water line.

To the best of my knowledge there is no zoning requirement for blocking someone's view.
It will be interesting to follow this and will most likely make case law depending upon how it is ultimately resolved.

But there is a law that you cannot block a neighbor's view by putting up an awning over your dock. I wonder if this would apply in any way.
