I'd hate to think there is some significant "cash flow permissions" going on. Part of me doesn't mind since I live in Alton and it raises the tax base.
If the original footprint was within 50ft of the shoreline they can build there again while expanding the rest of the house. We took our first little ride Sunday and thought there was more dock damage than usual.
