The regulated “Riverfront Area” is defined as 200 feet measured from the Mean Annual High water mark horizontally along the river. thanks

If you see a development project with a non-parallel delineation, it is probably bogus. We have seen one such incongruity here in Topsfield, that is now corrected.

How is that distance determined, and what are its variations? It seems to me that this question cries out for an answer…
