Q: I live in a homeowners association located next to a waterway. In 2017 the Board of Directors adopted rules allowing boat lifts to be installed with canopies on the boat docks. The rules included certain detailed specifications regarding the height of the lift, how far out of the water the boat must be raised and the height of the canopies. In 2017 I purchased a boat and installed a boat lift and canopy all in conformance with the specifications. Recently, the board has changed the specifications to provide that the boat lifts must be able raise the boat higher out of the water than previously required and that the canopies must be lower than previously required.
