The Comprehensive Shoreline Protection Act is good in theory.Protecting New Hampshire’s lakes is a smart, for- ward-thinking move, and creating laws that promote their preservation has been a long time coming. So we have to wonder, since it took so long, why the act that was put in- to effect July 1 is still so convoluted and still drawing crit- icism from so many parties, from property owners to builders to legislators who wanted to clear up several new rules and regulations before putting the act into effect. The lead sentence of the press release DES posted on its Web site last week regarding the CSPA reads, “New rules taking effect in New Hampshire on Tuesday mean no more houses can be built within 50 feet of the shore.” That sounds simple and manageable – perhaps annoy- ing to the greedier property owners who want to add on to their homes or build an additional cottage in that space, but at least it’s a clear-cut (no pun intended) sentence that explains the gist of the CSPA. Unfortunately, it’s not the whole story. If you go to the DES Web site and try to sift through the language in its CSPA, it’s not hard to understand why COURTESY PHOTO property owners are concerned.
