If it makes you feel any better, the DES has been seen on our property and others with tape measures checking the dimensions of docks and decks. Also checking moorings for decals. I don't think we have to worry about them trusting us too much or not knowing what's going on with shore line property and structures.
Not trying to say this is good or bad. I guess it all depends if you are the one doing something wrong or if it's your neighbor.
Last time I checked, the number of boat slips the state will allow is a function of the amount of frontage you have on the lake. If you have frontage for 3 slips than a U shaped dock (or two docks with a slip between) would be permitted. I think 3 is about 200 feet if my memory is correct. (Which it seldom is)
