Accessible boat slips shall be served by clear pier space 60 inches (1524 mm) wide minimum and at least as long as the accessible boat slips. Every 10 feet (3048 mm) maximum of linear pier edge serving the accessible boat slips shall contain at least one continuous clear opening 60 inches (1524 mm) minimum in width.
Exceptions:
1. The width of the clear pier space may be 36 inches (914 mm) minimum for a length of 24 inches (610 mm) maximum, provided that multiple 36 inch (915 mm) wide segments are separated by segments that are 60 inches (1524 mm) minimum clear in width and 60 inches (1524 mm) minimum clear in length.
2. Edge protection 4 inches (102 mm) high maximum and 2 inches (51 mm) deep maximum shall be permitted at the continuous clear openings.
3. In alterations to existing facilities, clear pier space may be located perpendicular to the boat slip and shall extend the width of the boat slip, if the facility has at least one accessible boat slip complying with this section, and further compliance with this section would result in a reduction in the number of boat slips available or result in a reduction of the widths of existing slips.
