Latest version.
  • A. 
    Application for consent shall be made to the Town Board. The application shall set forth the name and address of the applicant, whether individual, partnership or corporation, or the name under which the business shall be conducted; the nature of the applicant's business; that the applicant is duly licensed therefor as required by any law or ordinance; the location and amount of space required by the applicant and the reason why the applicant considers that public conveyance and necessity or public health requires the granting of such consent as against the use of said dock by residents or owners of property in the Cherry Grove Public Dock District generally; and any other matters deemed germane by the applicant. Consent shall be granted on the basis of the calendar year for which requested. An application for renewal need only contain the applicant's name and place of business; that consent was granted the previous year; the space allotted the previous year; that the nature of the applicant's business has not changed; and that the applicant requests renewal of consent to use the same or other space.
    B. 
    If consent is granted by the Town Board, it shall designate the space to be occupied and the annual fee payable for said use. The applicant shall pay said fee to the office of the Town Clerk not later than April 30 of the year for which consent is granted. The applicant shall clearly mark the designated space on both ends of the water side of the dock so as to be visible from the water. The sign shall state: "Mooring between signs, except by (applicant), prohibited by order of the Town Board."
    C. 
    All designations of space shall be subject to change or modification by the Town Board on its own initiative or upon request at such times and in such manner as it may determine for the proper use of such dock.
    D. 
    Consent of the Town Board shall not be assignable by operation of law or otherwise without the approval of the Town Board, and any attempted assignment by operation of law or otherwise without the written approval of the Town Board shall immediately terminate the consent granted.
    E. 
    The conjunctional use of a ferry or refuse boat for freight purposes and the mooring of such boat or ferry between trips shall be deemed a use of said dock in connection with the business and consent granted.
