Franklin
County is beginning work on an ordinance to govern how far out a dock
can reach in natural and man-made canals in the county.
The
commission is taking the action at the request of the county's
planning and zoning board, which has raised concerns that some canals
could become impossible to navigate because of docks reaching too far
into the waterway.
The
county rule, once complete, will likely allow docks to reach no
further than 25 percent of the width of the waterway on which the
structure is located.
That
would insure that even if there are docks on both sides of the canal,
half the waterway will remain open to navigation which insures that
people on the interior of the canal can still reach their properties.
The
County attorney will draft the ordinance for a future public hearing.
