summary
Summary Explanation/Background:
Chapter 91 section 91.10 (c) of the Code of Ordinances does not currently permit perpendicular docking of small personal watercraft (wave-runners) and this has proven to be challenging for residents where parallel docking can be very difficult and at times dangerous. As a result, the Marina Advisory Board along with Engineering is recommending to amend our Code in order to:
1) Allow the perpendicular docking of small personal watercraft.
2) Restrict the size limitation of the small personal watercraft to 13 feet.
3) Restrict the number of small personal watercraft that can be stored/docked on the platform at a residential lot to four.
Origin of request for this action: Staff
Fiscal impact and source of funding: N/A
