Board permits after‑the‑fact decking on Webster Lake subject to flood/permitting review
The board approved variance 2026‑4 for Treehouse Island to allow existing decking at the water’s edge, additional decking, and a 12-by-14 roof extension 8 feet from the water, but staff emphasized the property is in a flood zone and work was done without permits. Long‑time resident Steve Snyder and others supported allowing the work to remain, noting a resident who uses a pontoon needs direct access. Staff warned petitioners that flood‑zone regulations and required permits will need to be addressed after the hearing; the board approved the items "as presented" with the understanding that after‑the‑fact permits and any floodplain permitting must be obtained.
