Passed by the Board of Directors September 18, 2004

Boats

1.       Members may apply for a permit to keep one boat on a boat trailer within public view on their property.  The boat and trailer must be in good operating condition and currently licensed (if required).  The boat must be 20 feet or less in length and 6 feet or less in height (boat and trailer).   If covered, a fitted boat cover must be used; no tarps are allowed.   Members who do not follow the permit guidelines may have their boat privileges rescinded. 

2.       All other boats and watercraft must be stored in an enclosed space or behind a view-obstructing fence.  Boats without trailers or trailers without boats are prohibited, as are boat-building projects and major repair work.  Boats may not be stored on or in utility trailers.

3.       Non-powered car toppers (small boats, canoes, etc.) are permitted as long as they remain on the vehicle or are stored out of public view. 

4.       Boating gear (crab pots, boat parts, ice chests, etc.) must be stored in the boat or out of public view.

5.       A boat between six and eight feet tall may be issued a permit on a case-by-case basis if it can be stored in a location that does not cause a view obstruction from any other property.

1.       Members who store a recreational vehicle in the local area may apply for a permit to keep the vehicle on their property while preparing for or returning from a trip for the express purpose of cleaning, loading, and unloading.  The RV may only be present while these activities are taking place with a maximum limit of five days.  The RV may not be inhabited.  Members who do not follow the permit guidelines may have their privileges rescinded.

2.       Members who plan to actively participate in the construction of a new home may apply for Planning Committee approval to inhabit a recreational vehicle parked on the member’s lot for a limited time period not to exceed six months during construction.

3.       Except as indicated above, all recreational vehicles are prohibited unless stored in an enclosed space (garage).  “Recreational vehicles” include motor homes, fifth wheels, travel trailers, ATVs, campers, etc.   Pickup trucks with bed-mounted canopies are permitted, as are camping vans that are the same approximate size as passenger vans; these vehicles may not be inhabited.
