I was talking with John over at Island Real Estate a while back about a case on the North-East side of the lake across from Rattlesnake, where a fire destroyed a boathouse, the owners rebuilt it (some very wealthy family - forget the name off hand), and were ultimately required to TAKE IT DOWN after a protracted court fight.

This was (apparently) due to some waterfront protection regulation that you cannot rebuild from a total loss.

I do not have first hand information about this, just reporting what I was told. John appears to know quite a lot about this sort of thing.

There may have been extenuating circumstances in the case that John was citing that may not be applicable to the boathouse in Alton.

Anyone know any more about this?

Regards,

Steve
