[Ord. No. 55-2003, 6-17-2003]
The size of a moored float is not to exceed eight feet by 30
feet without approval of the harbormaster. Plans for construction
of the float are to be submitted and approved by the harbormaster.
[Ord. No. 55-2003, 6-17-2003]
A moored float shall be moored or anchored so as to stay in
line with the current or in such a manner that would not create a
navigational hazard.
[Ord. No. 55-2003, 6-17-2003]
Moored floats are to have appropriate U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
City, or any other required permits.
[Ord. No. 55-2003, 6-17-2003]
Moored floats, whether commercial, rental, or private, are to
be regulated in the same manner as permitted moorings in this article,
and by federal or state law.
[Ord. No. 55-2003, 6-17-2003]
Moored float fees will be established annually by the City council, pursuant to section
30-221(a), on a per-structure basis, regardless of whether the use is for commercial, rental, or private purposes.
[Ord. No. 55-2003, 6-17-2003; Amd. of 5-2-2012]
Moored float locations will be assigned by the harbormaster
in accordance with predetermined areas which the harbormaster has
identified as appropriate for moored float locations, and, within
those areas, to a specific location requested by the applicant, or
to the closest such location that is appropriate for the applicant's
use and otherwise permissible under this article. Moored floats in
the inner harbor shall be placed along the easterly edge of the channel
buffer if space is available. No moored floats or structures shall
be allowed within the twenty-five-foot buffer to the channel. Permits
will not be granted for floats if the placement of the moored float
interferes with navigation of other vessels or interferes with the
use of other mooring sites by vessels with permits, or if the placement
of such a float is inconsistent with space management of the harbor.
[Ord. No. 55-2003, 6-17-2003]
If a moored float creates a navigational hazard or is considered
to have the potential to become a navigational hazard, or is not considered
to be a sound or safe berth by structural failure or damage if the
float is left in during winter months and ices up, etc., the harbormaster
may require the float not to be used or to be immediately removed
by the individual the moored float is permitted to. If the float is
not removed, the harbormaster may remove it at the owner's expense.
