Additional Info
| Additional info: (optional) |
I had a discussion with a planning and zoning rep and they said that there is a rule for the size of decks located in the lake setback that is 15% of the distance to the OHWL. The distance to the OHWL at the proposed point of connection to the house is 64' and that is how we determined the 9'6" size of the deck. Please let me know if this calculation or rule interpretation is incorrect. |
Terms
