Any addition would have to conform to existing town and state setbacks and regulations.
That certainly is the case in Gilford.

A number of folks have come before the Planning Board or Town Planner's office over the past few years wanting to do just that and were told they couldn't. Some complained but they were told to take it up with the state since we couldn't override the state.

I guess some folks don't like hearing "No".
