The state, even with almost unlimited resources, eventually stopped their actions and agreed to the settlement. The politicians who got involved on Robert Brown's behalf did so after hearing the whole story and understanding the facts. They would not have put their names on the line if they thought he was wrong.
From the outset, anyone who knew what the real story was would have sided with Robert Brown. His age and illnesses impeded his defense but in the end he gets to keep his house.
The greater point is that the house and any construction on the island has had no negative impact on the lake, water quality, or any neighbor. Isn't that what these laws and empowered people are supposed to be protecting?

You are correct. I’m very happy that it was settled in his favor and he keeps his home. I believe the DES was really overstating their bounds especially since there was NO environmental impact.
Congratulations to Mr Brown!!!
