Boathouse/Dock Application BLDR-2026-0631

Description

A new/rebuild boathouse on Lake Virginia at 641 Virginia Drive, with a variance for dock length because water depth requires a longer dock. Approved unanimously after a public hearing.

Impact summary

The owner can finally dock his wake boat, and the rebuilt dock will be more modest than what's there now — but the approval adds another data point to the board's growing variance docket.

Lakes and Waterways Board - Aug 11, 2026

A rebuilt boathouse and dock on the south side of Lake Virginia, with a variance to extend the dock to 40 feet because of shallow water. The new footprint (~600 sq ft) is actually smaller than the existing dock, and the enclosed boathouse walls are being dropped.
