My main concern here is a "bunkhouse"... There is a permit from 1980 to build a storage shed and it clearly says "not for occupation". Since that time, the storage shed grew a really nice interior finish, a bathroom and even a small porch (but thankfully no kitchen so it isn't a separate dwelling). My guess is there are many "bunkhouses" on the islands like this. Of course it all sits on blocks with new blocks added as things sag. Amazingly the windows and door fit perfectly and it's a very attractive and functional building. My teen daughter is in love with it.
I anonymously called the building inspector and he wasn't much use on the whole topic. He of course can't say it's ok, but I didn't get the impression he was off trying to ferret this sort of stuff out. I guess if they tried to sort out every unpermitted thing in the last 31 years, they'd have to bust most every vacation place on the lake.
