Summary
The Angler's pier replacement raised the question of whether a pier that predates current length limits can be rebuilt at its existing 150 feet when town code allows less. The board weighed code strictness against documented history, a 1991 street-end agreement, and safety benefits of a wider pier near the 50 bridge.
