§ 96-8. Tier 1 docking and mooring facilities allocation.

A. 

Tier 1 allocation of docking and mooring facilities. The number of docking and mooring facilities that may be constructed beyond the mean high water mark of all adjoining parcels is listed in Table 1, Tier 1 Allocation.

(1) 

Mooring buoys are prohibited in Category A.

(2) 

For Categories B through F, an adjoining parcel owner may distribute the permitted number of boat slips between boat slips and mooring buoys.

(3) 

The number of mooring buoys shall not exceed the total number of boat slips permitted for the adjoining parcel, and their placement must conform to the dimensional criteria contained in § 96-9 of this chapter.

(4) 

The boat storage capacity of existing boathouses or boat stations shall be included in the total number of permitted boat slips.

	Table 1 Tier 1 Allocation
	Lineal Feet of Shoreline Category	Number of Boat Slips	Number of Docks
	A. 1 to 25	1	1
	B. 25.01 to 50	2	1
	C. 50.01 to 100	3	1
	D. 100.01 to 150	4	2
	E. 150.01 to 200	5	2
	F. 200.01 plus	5 plus 1 slip for every 50 feet of shoreline in excess of 200 feet	2 plus 1 additional dock for every 100 feet of shoreline in excess of 200 feet

B. 

Tier 1 allocation of associated facilities. Boathouses, boat accessory structures, boat stations, boat hoists and boat hoist structures are associated docking and mooring facilities and are allocated and subject to the design standards as set forth in Table 2.

(1) 

Boathouse: One boathouse is allowed for parcels having 200 lineal feet of shoreline or more and shall contain no more than two boat slips.

(a) 

No boathouse may be used as a dwelling, sleeping, lodging or boarding place.

(b) 

Construction of a second floor level inside the boathouse or of a second floor deck is not permitted.

(c) 

A one-slip boathouse shall not exceed 19 feet in width nor 40 feet in length. A two-slip boathouse shall not exceed 34 feet in width nor 40 feet in length.

(d) 

A maximum twelve-inch roof overhang is allowed.

(e) 

The internal square footage of the walkway(s) inside the boathouse shall be included in the square feet dockage allowance.

(2) 

Boat hoist structure: One boat hoist structure is permitted for each boat slip.

(3) 

Boat station: A boat station is designed for use as a permanent boat hoist structure. Only one boat station is allowed per adjoining parcel. For adjoining parcels where more than one boat slip is allowed, the boat station is limited to two boat slips. No boat station may be used as a dwelling, sleeping, lodging or boarding place.

(a) 

A boat station may be substituted for one boat hoist structure where more than one boat slip is allowed.

(b) 

A boathouse may be substituted for a boat station for parcels having 200 lineal feet of shoreline or more.

(4) 

Boat accessory structure: One boat accessory structure is permitted per steep slope parcel.

(a) 

Boat accessory structures are not permitted on adjoining parcels that contain a boathouse or have an existing upland structure within 60 feet of the mean high water mark.

(b) 

No boat accessory structure may be used as a dwelling, sleeping, lodging or boarding place.

(c) 

The following additional design standards are applicable to boat accessory structures:

[1] 

The boat accessory structure shall not exceed 120 square feet and 15 feet in height as measured from the mean high water level. The 120 square feet is measured by the area enclosed by the exterior wall of the structure. The square footage of the area enclosed by the boat accessory structure is to be calculated as part of the additional two-hundred-square-foot dockage allowance referenced in § 96-9D, Steep slopes.

[2] 

A twelve-inch roof overhang is allowed. Any area covered by a roof overhang in excess of 12 inches is allowed only if it has been included in the one-hundred-twenty-square-foot accessory structure allowance.

[3] 

If any or all of the area of the boat accessory structure is located on the land side of the mean high water mark, such area of the boat accessory structure is to be included in the square foot dock allowance.

[4] 

The boat accessory structure shall be constructed as close to the mean high water line as possible. No part of the structure may extend beyond 20 feet of the waterside of the mean high water mark.

	Number of Stories/ Levels /Floors	Roof Permitted	Roof Slope	Sides Permitted	Height
Boathouse	1	Yes	Not less than 3 and 12 nor more than 4 and 12	Yes	Less than or equal to 15 feet above the mean high water level
Boat Hoist Structure	1	Yes	Not applicable	No	Less than or equal to 15 feet above the mean high water level
Boat Station	1	Yes	Not less than 3 and 12 nor more than 4 and 12	No	Less than or equal to 15 feet above the mean high water level
Boat Accessory Structure For Steep Slope Parcels	1	Yes	Not less than 3 and 12 nor more than 4 and 12	Yes	Less than or equal to 15 feet above the mean high water level as measured along a line perpendicular from the mean high water level

NOTES:

No associated facility may have a second floor/level/story/deck.
