Nice thought, but it had nothing to do with that. They never looked at my property or even considered the idea. It was "No" right from the start.
You may remember the DES court case a few years ago about the boathouse in Moultonborough. The DES lost at the State Supreme Court level. It was discussed extensively on this site.
From the Laconia Sun:
"In its May 22 ruling, the Supreme Court rejected the DES argument that it had the right to restrict the structure to the 17-foot height of the original boathouse.
“We agree with the Corrs that DES did not have the authority to limit the height of their structure,” the court said in its ruling.
Furthermore, the court wrote in the unanimous decision, "DES has failed to demonstrate, particularly in the circumstances of this case, how height has any relation to the protection of the public waters and the adjacent shoreland."
