Franklin County to consider new boat ramp usage rule

County commissioners will hold a public hearing next week to consider an ordinance designed to keep people from blocking boat ramps.

The proposed ordinance will affect boaters who tie up their boats in the water blocking the boat ramps, and those that park their trucks and trailers in a way that keeps other people from launching their boats. The commission said the new rule will likely also ban people from mooring their boats overnight at county boat ramps.

The county already has signs placed at most public ramps asking people to be considerate – but say that the signs have proved unsuccessful. Now they say they need a rule in place that can be enforced by local law enforcement.

The public hearing on the issue has been scheduled for Tuesday, December the 15th when the county commission meets at the Carrabelle City Complex in Carrabelle.
