§ 15-343. Additional conditions of issuance of permits for private docks.
(a)
On lots or parcels having a shoreline frontage of less than seventy-five (75) feet, docks, including designated mooring areas, shall have a minimum side-setback of ten (10) feet from the projected property line.
(b)
On lots or parcels having a shoreline frontage of seventy-five (75) feet or greater, docks shall have a minimum side setback of twenty-five (25) feet from the projected property line, unless such requirement is reduced by an appropriate waiver which shall be reviewed by the environmental protection division. Certain lots or parcels may be able to meet the minimum setback distance at the shoreline, however, when the projected property lines converge due to an irregular lot shape, a proposed dock may not meet the minimum setback distance at some point along the projected property line. At the point where the distance between the projected property lines is equal to or less than seventy-five (75) feet, the minimum setback shall be ten feet. Waivers from side-setback requirements may be granted by the environmental protection officer if a notarized letter of no objection to the waiver is received from the shoreline property owner abutting the applicant's property line affected by the waiver. All other waivers to the minimum side-setback requirement shall be granted in accordance with the provisions of section 15-350.
(c)
Storage lockers shall be limited to a cumulative maximum of sixty-five (65) cubic feet. Storage lockers shall not be used to store boat maintenance and/or repair equipment and materials, fuel, fueling equipment, and hazardous materials or hazardous wastes. Storage lockers are prohibited on semi-private docks and public docks.
