When you apply for a permit, you must agree to install permanent improvements costing at least $500, including labor. Only one residence may be constructed on a lot, and in order to prevent the erection of unsightly “shacks”—some people’s ideas on cabins would surprise you—each permitee must submit his plans for approval before a permit will be issued.
All buildings and all roofs must be painted, oiled or stained. If paint is used, the color must harmonize with the forest background, and be approved by the Forest Supervisor. That does not mean that everything has to be brown and green, but the forest is no place for a pink stucco cottage.
Permanent construction must be completed by the end of the second season after the permit is issued.
