There's a lot of speculation on thos thread about what is allowed and not allowed. My dealings with DES generally show that they want to help, within limits, but they are site specific. What works here may not work there. There are places around that have multi-stall boat houses already in place. A 2-3 stall boathouse might have room for a 40 ft wingspan. You could build up, maybe not out, and put the plane in a boathouse, no ramp. Should be no problem to install a lift if you want to get out of the water, same as a boat.
In most places, it is easier to put up (i.e. permit) an awning than a full structure. Keep the plane under an awning in tew summer and fly out in the winter and take down the awning. Finding a site that is "flyable" (prevailing winds, exposure to long open water, etc) might be a bigger question than building suitable summer storage for the plane.
