“Well, town manager, very well put. I talked to two contractors over the last week who build high end homes and on the ocean. They said $2,100 is very cheap, very cheap, and probably too cheap. But the second thing that was brought up is zone two and three. Right now, the code says the fee structure set at $600 a foot.
