Variance
|
There may be specific properties where the extension of the property line into the water may significantly restrict the dock configuration or vessel size due to irregular lot shapes (i.e., non-parallel lines). In such situations, where a request for a setback variance has been submitted by the property owner, the approving authority shall review the circumstances and make a recommendation to the BOD regarding dock size and placement.
The recommendation shall consider rules, regulations, covenants, safe navigation and impact on neighboring properties. However, no dock structure, dock extension or piling shall extend over the property line. A variance to the requirement that the vessel shall not extend over the property line as extended shall not be granted except under extremely unusual circumstances and requires the same process of review and recommendations to the BOD prior to granting the waiver as specified above for the evaluation of a waiver of setback requirements. |
