Existing dock encroachment

lakebro · 06-15-2021, 09:13 PM

I live next door to some who has an existing legal dock pre-regs. He insists on putting his dock on the extended property line and parks boats on that side that almost entirely sit in front of our beach. And if thats not enough he now throws an anchor of the back of his boat when at the dock further into our swimming area.
He claims he can’t move it over because getting out would be a problem when the lake level is low in November. However I feel there are solutions to that. The dock is rolled in and out and floats when it his the water.
Everyone in the cove has legal existing docks and affords the abutting neighbor 10’ so boats are not encroaching over the extended lot line in front of their beach.
My neighbor has 106’ of frontage and I have 75’ but we won’t budge.
Do I have any leverage to get him to move it over or do I have to grin and bear it?
Thanks for any advice.”
