Flood insurance Homes on the lake are now in the flood plain. A LOMA application was approved by FEMA June 2008 to have the “structure removed” from the flood plain (because of its placement high on the lot). Flood insurance is not required by FEMA.

Boat house Boat house is used for storage. It currently houses a skimmer for the Lake Corporation (the skimmer does not have to be housed there). Lake Corp personnel maintain the skimmer. The present boat slip is too small for a power boat. One would need to wait until the next drawdown of the lake to have a larger boat slip built or park along the sea wall. Next lake drawdown will be for the Oswego sewer interceptor project, starts September 2009+-.

Neighbors To the left, construction is scheduled to begin summer 2008 on the empty lot.

Suggested ideas for improvements:
Additional Parking Make a half-circle drive in front, with a low retaining wall, fill with gravel, plant a hedge on the house side of retaining wall.
Backyard Deck Build outdoor deck off the nook area.
Redo Front Area to address water seepage in area under the planter by pouring larger cement slab where defective planter is, place potted plants, wrought-iron furniture, etc. Or do french drains (bid was $14K)
Lower floor Carpet or vinyl floors
