Homemade âhouse floatâ on Green Lake irks shorefront dwellers

Under fire are houseboat-like structures anchored in one spot for days or weeks for recreational use, and that often attract their like, tied side-to-side for a floating party.
âI donât own anything beyond the high-water mark,â Dedham resident Dale Jellison said. But he also visualized lines drawn from lakefront properties out into the water, with use of that area requiring the property ownerâs permission.
