Watercraft Types and Density <br />The number of watercraft (called restricted) that can be <br />stored at a property is based on the measurement of <br />the shoreline at the 929.4 OHW. This includes personal <br />watercraft, runabouts, cruisers, pontoons, fishing boats <br />and similar. <br />The following watercraft (unrestricted) are not included <br />in watercraft density calculations: <br />* 16 ft or less in length without a motor <br />* 16 ft or less with a motor 10 hp or less <br />(manufacturer specs and regardless if operational) <br />* 20 ft or less without a motor and propelled solely by <br />human power. Ex. Canoe, kayak <br />Watercraft Density Calculations <br />The number of watercraft that can be stored at a <br />property site is determined as follows: <br />* 1 per 50 ft of continuous shoreline without reference <br />to ownership (1:50 ft Rule) <br />* 2 if the site was in existence on 08/30/1978 (or <br />more if allowed by the 1:50 ft Rule) <br />* 4 if all the following conditions are met: <br />i) single family residence, legally subdivided <br />and adjoined to shoreline property <br />ii) exclusive dockage use by site's owner, <br />iii) all restricted watercraft owned by and <br />registered to persons living on site. <br />* 5 or more by obtaining a license <br />Less than 30 <br />inches high <br />Boat Lifts <br />Boat lifts may be used as long as they fit within the <br />authorized dock use area and meet any existing <br />variances. An overhead, fabric cover that is an integral <br />part of a boat lift is not a canopy if the vertical height of <br />the fabric cover does not exceed 30 inches. <br />Docks, Decks, and Platforms <br />Docks, decks, and platforms may exceed 8 feet in <br />length or width, but not both. Ex. 8 ft x 12 ft, but not 9 ft <br />by 12 ft <br />Docks moved between lakes or waterbodies must be <br />dried out for 21 days to help prevent the spread of <br />aquatic invasive species.
