Dock Regulations      

Dock site plans which do not require variances can be approved in person at the zoning counter on the first floor of the Municipal Services Center. 

Dock site plans which require variances, however, must be approved by the Zoning Official (depending on the details of the application) or the EDC at a public hearing. Variances usually associated with docks include 1) variances from the minimum side lot setback of 20 feet; 2) variances from the allowance to extend a dock 25 percent of the waterway width; and 3) variances from the required 10 foot side lot setback for tie poles. These regulations apply to docks and dock-related structures, including boat lifts. Persons seeking approval of a dock site plan with variances should submit the required application fee by the submittal deadline.
