Editor's Note: This article was derived from
Section 10.01 of the Town of Yarmouth Bylaws and was originally adopted
3-10-1970.
No vessel, mooring or other object shall be
abandoned, sunk or otherwise placed where it may constitute a danger
to navigation. Any vessel mooring or other object so placed and any
vessel improperly secured, swamped, sunk, washed ashore or found in
any restricted area may be removed or relocated by direction of the
Harbor Master or an Assistant Harbor Master if corrective action is
not taken after 72 hours' notice to the owner or, if the owner is
not known, after notice has been posted for the same period at the
Town Hall or on or near such vessel, mooring or object. The expense
of such removal or relocation and any liability incurred therefor
shall be the responsibility of the owner.
Nothing in the above shall be deemed to restrict
earlier action by the Harbor Master or an Assistant Harbor Master
with or without notice to the owner if, in his judgment, such action
is necessary to protect life or property.
[Amended 4-20-1982 by Art. 27, approved 8-10-1982]
Any violation of this article shall be punished
by a fine of not more than $300 for each offense.
