BBA26-0002 — Accessory tree-attached structure appeal
Ann Arbor
Description
A homeowner appealed the building official's denial of a built-without-permit tree house with stairs and electrical service. The board reversed the denial, finding the design an equal or better form of construction, with five conditions.
Impact summary
The tree house can stay, but the owner must add secondary supports, flexible electrical connections, and stair anchorage before the permit is finalized.
