Recreational facilities such as kayak racks are those facilities
that are funded by the tax revenue which the Borough of Interlaken
collects from its residents. As such, kayak rack facilities can only
be utilized by a limited group of residents at any given time. Kayak
racks are to be constructed by the Borough of Interlaken for resident
use to store their kayaks from May 1 to November 1. No kayaks may
be placed or stored on municipal land except in accordance with the
terms of this section.
[Added 6-21-2023 by Ord.
No. 2023-2]
Kayak racks will be available to Borough of Interlaken residents
only through a lottery system. The lottery for kayak rack slots will
become available on April 1st. Residents have until April 15th to
submit their lottery applications for a kayak rack. Applications must
be delivered to the Interlaken Borough Hall. Residents may state a
preference for whether they wish to obtain a kayak rack on Windermere
Avenue or Bridlemere Avenue, but requests cannot be guaranteed.
[Added 6-21-2023 by Ord.
No. 2023-2]
Applicants for a kayak rack will be charged a fee of $35 for
the season. The fee may be made payable to the Borough of Interlaken
by check or money order.
[Added 6-21-2023 by Ord.
No. 2023-2]
a.
Kayak racks are located on Windermere Avenue and Bridlemere Avenue
to prevent kayaks from being placed in other public locations other
than these racks. All kayaks on municipally owned land must be placed
in a kayak rack to which the individual has been assigned.
b.
Residents assigned a kayak rack will be issued a sticker for their
kayak. The sticker noting the specific rack the resident is assigned
to must be affixed to the kayak at all times. This will allow Borough
officials to determine if kayaks are in the wrong rack, if the kayak
is misplaced, or, if damaged to quickly identify a resident's
kayak. The Borough will maintain records of residents with a kayak
rack and the corresponding sticker number.
[Added 6-21-2023 by Ord.
No. 2023-2]
The season in which kayaks may be placed in the rack is from
May 1 through November 1. All residents must remove kayaks from the
racks by November 2nd. Failure to remove one's kayak by the end
of the season may forfeit the resident's opportunity to apply
for the next season's lottery. Any such kayak that is not removed
by December 31st will be viewed as abandoned property and may be discarded
by the Borough.
[Added 6-21-2023 by Ord.
No. 2023-2]
For each violation of this section, the violator is subject
to a fine of $25.
