“A bit harsh because the camp was founded far before the law requiring new construction to be above the 100 year flood plain.”
Yes, but the construction of the new cabin occurred ~95 years after the camp was founded and long after the area of the camp was designated as a floodway which is far different than a 100 year “flood plain.”
