That sounds like what I had thought would happen.
Just a few weeks ago owners of a cottage in that area (I don't know if it is one of the ones that was in the fire) came before the ZBA to ask if they could move their cottage back a little and add on a room. The ZBA was reluctant to approve the request but eventually did only because the proposed plan made the cottage more conforming to codes. (I'm the recorder for the ZBA and several other town & school boards and committees.)
In short, unless owners can get really creative on making their cottage more conforming, I doubt you'll see many rebuild.
