Policy
The dock length includes the dock and any pilings installed as an extension of the dock. Overall dock length into the lagoon…

  • should be limited to the size and configuration of the lot.
  • shall be limited by the navigable water channel in the Lagoon.
  • shall be determined based on a maximum dimension from the mean water line and a minimum dimension from the center line of the navigable water channel. The mean water line is the point at which the water intersects the bank at a mean Lagoon water level elevation of 5 feet as measured by the Lagoon elevation scale located on the piling at the sanitary pumping station dock adjacent to the lock.
  • Docks parallel to the Shoreline – The dimension from the mean water line to the outside edge of the dock shall not exceed 25 ft.; however, a dimension of 20 ft. is preferable. The dimension from the center line of the navigable water channel to the outside edge of the dock shall be no closer than 40 ft. In narrow areas of the Lagoon as determined by the Harbormaster, Marina and Harbor Chair and ARB the outside edge of the dock shall be no closer than 20 ft. from the center of the channel.
  • Docks perpendicular to the Shore Line – The dimension from the mean water line to the outside edge of the dock shall not exceed 45 ft. Perpendicular docks shall only be permitted in wide areas of the Lagoon as determined by the approving authority; the dimension from the center line of the navigable water channel to the outside edge of the dock shall be no closer than 40 ft.
