Jet ski lift case (BLDG-26-0006)

The respondent's attorney argued the lifts were installed over 21 years ago as part of the permitted dock, that his client complied by applying for permits as the notice required, and asked for a continuance.

The complaining neighbor said the lifts sit within 1½ feet of his property, no letter of no objection was ever obtained for the dock within five feet of his line, and he asked the board to order the lifts removed.

The complainant's wife described alleged threatening texts from the respondent and a history of code violations; the board ruled most of it immaterial to the case.
