§ 406-7. Placement of moorings.

A. 

Moorings shall not be placed, altered, shifted or interfered with, except under the direction of the Harbormaster's Office.

B. 

The Harbormaster's Office may require the relocation of permitted moorings that are in the water, and any expense thereof shall be the mooring owner's responsibility.

C. 

The Harbormaster's Office may limit the size and lengths of vessels moored in the waters of the Town of Barnstable if in the Harbormaster's opinion this is warranted due to congestion, to ease navigation, or as a measure of public safety.

D. 

The mooring permit may be suspended or revoked by the Harbormaster whenever in the Harbormaster's opinion the boat and/or mooring unduly threatens the safety of the mooring area or the reasonable use of that area by other boats.

E. 

Moorings that are placed in a location other than that as permitted by the Harbormaster's Office shall be grounds for revocation of the mooring permit.

F. 

A permit holder's mooring and mooring buoy must be placed and maintained in the water in its permitted location on or before July 1 of each year and remain in the water until September 1 of each year. Failure to comply with the placement requirements set above shall be grounds for revocation or nonrenewal of the mooring permit.
