A: complete destruction could result in the abandonment of the noncomforming preexisting structure. however, you may be able to get a zoning permit to rebuild if you did it in advance of the destruction. if you put the town on use of the destruction with the intention to rebuild, you may be able to salvage the grandfathered use.
