Weinberger remarked there may be some confusion over the fact that there are other times when garages and decks are granted, but there is nothing in the code that states that a garage or a deck would be granted simply because a lakeshore property is without one.

There are also exists some zoning code requirements which would require variances to be granted to allow a residence to be located this close to a lot line, and a conditional use permit would be necessary to allow a guest cabin.
