In view of the need to insure safe and unobstructed
movement of water traffic as well as the most appropriate utilization
of water resources and open space on Greenwood Lake, the following
provisions shall apply to boathouses and marinas.
A.
Permit required. No boathouse or marina shall be constructed, enlarged or extended unless and until the owner and/or lessee secures from the Construction Official a construction permit as provided under § 470-4 of this Land Development Ordinance. Normal maintenance and repair and seasonal replacement of preexisting structures shall not require a building permit.
B.
Marina site plan. Prior to the issuance of a construction
permit for a marina, the Planning Board shall review and approve a
site plan in conformance with the Land Development Ordinance, which
shall include a water traffic circulation plan.
C.
Marine services. Permit applications for a marina
shall be referred to the Division of Marine Services by the applicant
for any comments and suggestions as part of the site plan review.
D.
Construction limitations.
(1)
No boathouse or marina shall extend into Greenwood
Lake beyond the pierhead line or more than 15% of the width of Greenwood
Lake measured on a line perpendicular to the closest opposite shore,
whichever is less.
(2)
For the purpose of determining the exterior limits
of boathouses and mainwalks, any structure, including any type of
anchors or pilings placed or driven independently of the main structure,
used for the mooring of boats or the securing of the main structure,
shall be considered to be part of the boathouse or mainwalk.
(3)
The top of any pier shall not be less than 14 inches
from the high water mark of 10.25 on the gauge at the Awosting Dam.
E.
Supervision and maintenance. The owner and/or lessee
of a boathouse or marina shall provide for the proper supervision
of such facility and to maintain such facility in good condition,
free of litter or refuse, so as not to be offensive to surrounding
lot owners or the general public. If such facility is in danger of
becoming a hazard to residents, visitors, swimmers or boats, or adversely
affecting navigation by reason of structural members extending or
floating into Greenwood Lake, then the Construction Official shall
notify and require the owner and/or lessee to undertake repairs.
