This section applies to all docks, whether or not a marina is involved, and whether the dock is for commercial, private or residential use. No dock may be installed or used except in full compliance with this title. All docks shall be constructed to carry a minimum weight of 200 pounds per square foot. Docks may not unreasonably interfere with navigation. Docks, if floating, must be secured to prevent their floating away. No permanent dock (i.e., a dock or pier left in a lake during the time period from November 1 through April 1) shall be installed, used or extended unless all state requirements are met and a license is obtained from the city pursuant to the same standards and procedures which are applicable as if a marina were involved. If the application for a permanent dock is part of a request for a marina license, the two applications may be processed simultaneously by the city. A license issued by the city for a permanent dock (which is not part of a marina) is valid for ten years.
