(A) 
Fixed pier, ramp and floating dock(s). The following standards and regulations shall apply to the design, construction and operation of a residential and/or recreational fixed pier, ramp and float(s) as permitted under this chapter:
(1) 
The maximum overall length of a fixed pier, ramp and float dock structure shall be limited to a distance not to exceed 100 feet extending from the mean high water (MHW) mark to littoral property subject to the rights of the public to provide access for the use of underwater lands to obtain natural resources, including finfish and shellfish, and use of waterways for navigation, recreation and swimming. Measurements shall be taken from the mean high water (MHW) line to extend seaward.
(2) 
The underside of joists supporting a fixed pier that extends seaward shall be elevated no less than four feet above mean high water.
(3) 
The deck of a fixed pier shall have a maximum surface width of 48 inches. All proposed decking shall permit the passage of light and water to the area below, unless otherwise authorized by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC).
(4) 
The areas of the fixed platform shall not exceed 100 square feet.
(5) 
The seaward terminus of a fixed pier, ramp and float(s) structure shall not extend within a distance of 50 feet of any federally or locally designated channel, vessel accessway, fairway or anchorage.
(6) 
No fixed pier, ramp or float(s) structure shall hinder or impede public use of the water, vessel navigation or adjacent littoral areas nor prevent lateral access along the shoreline below the MHW mark.
(7) 
Float(s) may be oriented either in-line with the ramp or in an "L" or "T" configuration. No more than a total length of 40 feet of six-foot-wide floats shall be used at the terminus of the fixed pier or dock assembly.
(B) 
Access structures. The following standards and regulations shall apply to the design and operation of a bulkhead wall and fixed platform access structure:
(1) 
A fixed platform shall be constructed of planking that shall run perpendicular or diagonal to the frame. Planking shall be spaced with one-half-inch gaps. No solid decks shall be permitted.
(2) 
A fixed platform, if greater than six feet in width, shall not cover or shade any supratidal, intertidal or tidal vegetation.
(A) 
Marinas.
(1) 
Marinas shall be classified into two categories:
(a) 
Private/club, directed to the social and boating activities of its members and guests.
(b) 
Commercial, providing berthing space and/or interests in sales, boat repair and storage facilities.
(2) 
The following standards shall apply to the design and operation of a marina:
(a) 
Any new commercial marine structure shall be located on a parcel with shorefront footage having specific zoning/land use regulations to permit construction of said structure.
(b) 
No marina shall extend seaward more than 200 feet in length from the MHW line.
(c) 
The deck of a fixed pier shall have a maximum surface width of 72 inches. All proposed decking shall permit the passage of light and water to the area below, unless otherwise authorized by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
(d) 
The underside of joists supporting a fixed pier that extends seaward shall be elevated no less than four feet above mean high water.
(e) 
No marina shall extend within a distance of 50 feet of any federally or locally designated channel, vessel accessway, fairway or anchorage.
(f) 
No marina shall extend within ten (10) feet of the littoral boundary.
(g) 
Any proposed new commercial marina or any existing commercial marina proposing to expand or increase docking facilities or services shall be required to:
[1] 
Install a marine sanitation pumpout device, so designed as to accommodate all vessels in the marina.
[2] 
Install a potable water supply with proper backflow prevention.
[3] 
Provide for the collection and proper disposal of domestic sewage, solid waste (garbage, trash, etc.), grease, oil and gasoline.
[4] 
Provide for proper stormwater management of upland stormwater within the marina complex.
(h) 
Any commercial marina permitted to dispense gasoline, diesel fuel, mixed oils and similar supplies shall maintain sufficient material for the collection and absorption of spilled petroleum products.
(i) 
No float(s) shall rest on any underwater lands during ebb or mean low water (MLW) or on any intertidal, tidal or subtidal vegetation, unless otherwise authorized by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
(B) 
Floating platform. A floating platform(s) is a structure intended for commercial application and use pursuant to Town of Huntington Code § 120-4, Freestanding Floats. The following standards and regulations shall apply to the design and operation of a floating platform:
(1) 
No floating platform(s) shall rest on any underwater lands during ebb or mean low water (MLW) or on any intertidal, tidal or subtidal vegetation, unless otherwise authorized by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
(2) 
No floating platform(s) shall hinder public or private owner use of the water, navigation or littoral areas.
(3) 
No floating platform(s) shall be placed within 50 feet of any federally or locally designated navigational channel, vessel accessway, fairway or channel.
It shall be the responsibility of the permit holder(s) and/or the property owner(s) of marine structures governed by this Article and Article VI of this chapter to provide maintenance, repair and service of said structure(s). Failure to comply with this requirement shall subject the permit holder(s) and/or property owners to fines, penalties and/or other enforcement action authorized by Article VIII of this chapter.
