6 Cove Road Extension deck and gazebo

Salem

Description

A lakeside homeowner is renovating an existing house and wants a deck and gazebo 34 feet from Arlington Lake's high-water mark. The board approved it 4-1 with shoreland permit, state septic, and as-built conditions.

Impact summary

Lakefront living gets a viewing deck; the state shoreland permit and septic approvals must precede any building permit, and an as-built is due before occupancy.
