Torch Lake spans six or seven townships, each with different shoreline rules. One township allows up to 80% shoreline improvement if you replant with native species, while others ban any disturbance at all. Property owners face a patchwork of regulations depending on where their land sits.
'cause Torch Lake's got 6 or 7 different townships around that lake 'cause it's so large, all different rules. They're not even consistent with them themselves on that lake. So fortunately we're in a more lenient one where we can do an 80% shoreline improvement, but they really want us to replace some of our vegetation and our landscape design with native plants, which is no problem, versus other ones that don't want you to touch the shoreline,
