means any marina customer who maintains a boat or vessel as his or her primary residence, or who lives on his or her boat or vessel for 10 or more days in any one month.
(Ord. 998-A § 1, 1998)
The City limits the number of liveaboards within the marina to a percentage which can be reasonably sustained by the marina facilities. The current limit is four percent of total slips available within the City of Warrenton marinas. In the event that the limit of liveaboards in the marina is reached, the City will keep a waiting list with priority assigned by date of request of persons desiring to live aboard their boats.
(Ord. 998-A § 2, 1998)
A.
The City of Warrenton marinas were designed for the berthing of commercial and pleasure boats, and not as a living facility. The City therefore allows liveaboards as an exception to the first objective for the marinas, and it is considered a privilege. The City reserves the right to deny, suspend or cancel this privilege at will, if in the opinion of the Harbormaster, liveaboards interfere with the primary objectives of the marina, individually or in the marina as a whole.
B.
Terms and conditions and rules relating to liveaboards, as posted, are subject to alteration or change without notice to the liveaboards.
C.
A separate fee will be charged for each person living on the vessel as established by Resolution 972.
D.
Liveaboards are required to have a current liveaboard agreement registration on file in the Harbormaster's office at all times. The agreement shall be kept current and renewed annually in January. Failure to register as a liveaboard may result in termination of moorage.
E.
Due the inherent safety hazards and the lack of recreational facilities, families with children are not encouraged to live aboard. The City accepts no responsibility or liability.
F.
Liveaboard vessels must meet all federal, state and local laws, including, but not limited to, laws pertaining to navigational, safety and sanitation equipment.
G.
Liveaboard vessels must be kept seaworthy at all times. A vessel that is being used only to liveaboard and not maintained for the purpose of cruising is not eligible for moorage.
H.
All safety or procedural violations of City policy or other problems that liveaboards observe to be present in the marina must be reported promptly to the Harbormaster as a condition of living aboard in the City of Warrenton marinas.
I.
Pets must be kept leashed and in control at all times. Owners must have proof of pets' current county license and rabies vaccination. Owners will be held responsible for any mess, damage or injuries caused by their pets. Violations incurred by pets will be counted as a complaint. Three complaints and liveaboard status will be terminated.
J.
During the winter months, water on the docks may be shut off from time to time to prevent freezing. The City does not guarantee the availability of fresh water.
K.
Liveaboards shall not engage in behavior which creates a disturbance or nuisance or disturbs the tranquility of the marina or any of its other liveaboards or tenants. Liveaboards are responsible for the behavior of their guests in the marina. Violations incurred by tenants or their guests will be counted as a complaint. Three complaints and liveaboard status will be terminated.
L.
No personal property shall be stored on fingers or floats except within an approved dock box.
M.
No personal mail, messages or calls will be accepted at the Harbormaster's office.
N.
Liveaboards are only allowed two vehicles within the marina property. All vehicles parked within marina property must be legally registered, licensed and insured to the slipholder and operable. Automotive work/repairs is strictly prohibited within the marina City property.
O.
Liveaboards shall have their liveaboard status cancelled after three substantiated complaints or for failure to comply with City of Warrenton ordinances, or any local, state or federal laws pertaining to marinas or maritime law.
