An associate who is trying to build a seasonal camp on an island was told that there is no separate building code for a "seasonal" building. He's looking for documentation on that, but if the local official decrees it I'm not sure what options you might have.

The reason that we went to 2x6 framing for the most part was to fit extra fiberglass insulation in the walls.
For a three season, not really necessary. So using an older building technique can lower the amount of dimensional and engineered lumber; that can help bring down the costs especially for a DYIer.
