Question juridique clé
Whether the administrative appeal against the forest-distance exception was admissible and whether the exception violated Art. 17 WaG
Solution extraite
The administrative appeal was admissible, but the challenged exception did not breach the federal forest-preservation rule.
Motifs extraits
The cantonal minimum distance was 15 m, but no absolute minimum had to remain even in exceptional cases. Given the site-specific circumstances, the reduced distance still did not endanger forest preservation, maintenance, or use.
