[425 Alberta Drive; 1727 Lake Berry Drive; 2351 Forrest Road; case BLDR-2026-0513; BLDR-2026-0543; SAP-2026-0006] The Lakes & Waterways Board will consider several boathouse/dock and seawall applications on July 14, 2026. One application for a boathouse at 425 Alberta Drive was recommended for denial. An existing boathouse at 1727 Lake Berry Drive requires an after-the-fact permit and faces fees. A new seawall at 2351 Forrest Road is proposed. Staff updates include information on lakes management, stormwater projects like the outfall project at Palmer Ave and Old England Ave (projected to begin in 2-3 weeks), and the Sterling Bridge project (bid process in Fall, construction early 2027).
