(a) In accordance with RSA 483-B, nonconforming primary structures may be entirely demolished and reconstructed, with continued encroachment into the waterfront buffer, provided the replacement structure is located farther back from the reference line than the preexisting nonconforming structure.
(b) No alteration shall extend the structure closer to the public water between the primary building line and the reference line.
(c) The proposal or property shall be made more nearly conforming than the existing structure or the existing conditions of the property in accordance with RSA 483-B.
