View on eCode

Dimensional standards for marinas, yacht clubs, etc. shall be as follows:A. No dock shall be constructed so as to extend offshore for more than 200 feet from the mean low water line.B. In case of littoral parcels bounding a shoreline which is substantially parallel to the center line of the bay, docks shall be located in the area fixed by projection of the property lines bayward at right angles from the center line of the bay. This projection as it intersects with the two-hundred-foot boundary on the bayward side and the mean low water line shall be known as the "dockage envelope." In the case of littoral parcels bounding areas of the shoreline which are not substantially parallel to the center line of the bay, said areas being designated upon a map of the Irondequoit Bay waters, duly filed with the Town Clerk of the Town of Webster, docks shall be located as stated below:(1) In the case of littoral parcels bounding the northern cove and Devil's Cove, as designated on said map, docks shall be located in areas fixed by the projection of the property line bayward at right angles from the center line of the cove.

This projection as it intersects with the two-hundred-foot boundary or the center line of the cove, whichever is less, on the bayward side and the mean low water line shall be known as the "dockage envelope." In the case where the line intersects the center line of the cove, a lane of navigability must be maintained.(2) In the case of all other littoral parcels bounding areas of the shoreline not substantially parallel to the center line of the bay, as designated on said map, docks shall be located in areas fixed by the projection of the property line bayward toward a point that bisects a line drawn across the mouth of the cove.

This projection, as it intersects with the two-hundred-foot boundary or the center point of the line drawn across the mouth of the cove, whichever is less, on the bayward side and the mean low water line, shall be known as the "dockage envelope." In the case where the envelopes intersect, a lane of navigability must be maintained.C. The surface width of any dock or berthing shall not be greater than eight feet nor less than two feet.D. Every dock, berthing or mooring that is constructed shall have a minimum setback of 10 feet from the dockage envelope side lines, as extended from the shoreline, to allow adequate vessel access to neighboring waterfront parcels.E.

The number and length of docks, berthings or moorings within each dockage envelope shall be fixed by the Planning Board with due regard given to the following factors:(1) Environmental features of the adjacent littoral parcel.(2) The effect upon existing uses of neighboring littoral parcels.(3) The navigability of the area encompassed by and adjacent to the dockage envelope and the water depth in the dockage envelope.(4) The type and size of the vessels expected to be berthed thereon.(5) The level of development existing or proposed on the adjacent littoral parcel.(6) The extent of available support, service and parking facilities located on the adjacent littoral parcel necessary for utilization of the proposed dockage.F.

Boat hoists shall not exceed 18 feet in height measured from the water level to the highest point of the structure. Hoists shall be designed and constructed solely for the storage of boats and related equipment and shall be seasonal only. Boathouses or other permanent on-water storage facilities shall not be permitted.G. To minimize coverage of the bay waters by dockage and mooring, development of dry-storage marinas shall be encouraged.H. Marina dockage shall be designed to minimize adverse impacts upon navigation, maximize public use of bay waters and protect sensitive environmental features of the bay.
