f <br /> Mr. Mark Strasser <br /> March 12, 2012 <br /> Page 2 <br /> Most personal watercraft (Jet Ski, Wave Runner, or similar) would qualify as a restricted <br /> watercraft (due to horsepower). A sailboat longer than 16' (motorized or un-motorized) would <br /> also qualify as a restricted watercraft. <br /> How many boats can I store? <br /> LMCD ordinances regulate the number of restricted watercraft that may be moored or docked <br /> within a Dock Use Area (Section 2.01) at a residential site. In summary, Section 2.02 provides <br /> for: <br /> • The General Rule is one restricted watercraft for each 50' (1:50') of continuous <br /> shoreline; without reference to the owners of the watercraft being residents of the <br /> site (Subd.1); or <br /> • Unless a greater number is allowed by the 1:50' General Rule, up to two restricted <br /> watercraft may be moored or docked at a dock or mooring facility on a residential <br /> site in existence on August 30, 1978; without regard to the owners of the watercraft <br /> being residents of the site (Subd 2); or <br /> • If the 1 :50' General Rule cannot be met, up to four restricted watercraft may be <br /> moored or docked at a site, provided a number of conditions are followed. One of <br /> these conditions includes all restricted watercraft must be owned and registered to <br /> the residents who live in the one, single-family residential structure on the site (Subd <br /> 3; a-c). <br /> As noted above, an approved multiple dock license would be required to store five or more <br /> restricted watercraft; requiring a minimum of 226' of shoreline (LMCD Code Section 2.03). <br /> Subdivision 19 provides for an exception for residential sites sharing one combined dock. <br /> Residents should check with their city for any additional storage restrictions. <br /> The LMCD is requesting your prompt attention and cooperation in this matter. Repeat <br /> inspections are scheduled for the 2012 boating season and beyond, in which ongoing <br /> violations may result in legal consequences. I welcome your call so that staff may assist you in <br /> assessing your boat storage needs. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Emily H an <br /> Administrative Assistant/Code Enforcement <br /> Enclosures: LMCD Code Excerpts <br /> Cc: City of Orono LMCD Board Representative <br /> City of Orono Representative <br />
