Getting someone out to the island with anytype of machinery to dig holes is considered a major project and will require somesort of permitting Im sure..
Just hate to see someone get fines for not knowing what new laws are regarding construction like this.
Absolutely (but thanks for pointing it out anyway - much better safe than sorry ). My first stop before doing anything (other than getting some quotes) is to see the Alton building department (or relevant person or board). The proposed shop location is well back from the lake - behind the existing cottage by about 75 feet.

I've seen other accessory buildings put up recently, so I'm fairly certain I can obtain the proper permits for my relatively modest project

Thanks and Regards,

Steve
