[QUOTE=lots2do;7908160]We are restricted as to what we can do here because we are close to a small lake and there are very strict rules for adding on with a limit to how much space you can add within 100 feet of the water. (Once you hit the limit, you are done forever). We support that because it protects the health of the lake and someone can't buy the little cabin next door, raze it and put a McMansion on the property.
I was gong to ask about rules and regulations! We deal with that at our cabin too. We abide, but our neighbor didn't. We insisted the fence be moved, and trees moved, but had to sign off (after the fact) on the addition built 10 feet too close to the lake. Had we not, it would have to be torn down. Thanks for protecting the lake and respecting the rules!
