In addition to the design criteria for all private docks regulated by the county water
and navigation control authority, the following additional design criteria shall apply
to those private docks lying within the municipal boundaries of the city.
Private docks to be constructed in the waters of the city shall be constructed so
that the length of the dock shall not extend from the mean high water line or seawall
of the property further than one-half the width of the property at waterfront. This
requirement may be waived by the city manager or his designated representative, provided
signed statements of no objection from both adjacent waterfront property owners have
been submitted.
Private docks and boat lifts must be constructed within the center one-third of the
applicant's waterfront property or 50 feet from the adjacent property, whichever is
less restrictive. This requirement may be waived by the city manager or his designated
representative, provided that signed statements of no objection from the property
owner encroached upon has been submitted.
Tie piles may be a maximum distance of twenty-five percent (25%) of the navigable
portion of the waterway from the waterfront property line and no closer than the side
setback for a structure located on the property to the projection of any side or interior
lot line. This requirement may be waived by the city manager or his designated representative,
provided that signed statements of no objection from the property owner encroached
upon has been submitted.
