5.19.1 Purpose. The purpose of this section is to provide standards for motorized watercraft rentals 10 units or less.
5.19.2 Definitions. The following definitions apply to this article:
1) Personal watercraft (PWC) means a small vessel which uses an outboard motor or propeller-driven motor, or an inboard motor powering a water jet pump, as its primary source of motive power and which is designed to be operated by a person sitting, standing, or kneeling on, or being towed behind the vessel, rather than in the conventional manner of sitting or standing inside the vessel.
2) Recreational boat means any vessel manufactured or used primarily for noncommercial use; or leased, rented, or chartered to another for the latter's noncommercial use. Charter boats, head boats or other vessels under the command of a person who is licensed by the United States Coast Guard to carry passengers for hire shall be defined as commercial and therefore exempt from this definition of "recreational boat."
5.19.3 Standards
1) The maximum number of recreational boats or personal watercraft governed by this ordinance on any given parcel will not exceed 10 units. Personal watercraft used as the tour guide will not be considered in this number. If the business is operating in a marina, privately owned boats as well as cruise/excursion/dinner boats do not apply to this count.
2) One parking space shall be provided per rental unit. In the case of multi-tenant sites parking shall be designated.
3) No business shall be operated within one hundred (100) feet of any property used for residential purpose.
4) Public restroom facilities must be available, if portable toilets are used they must be secured to prevent them from becoming windblown.
5) Site Plan must be provided to and approved by the Town Planner prior to commencement of business. Submitted site plans should show the entire site but in the case of a multi-tenant site may show improvements only to the areas designated as use by the rental company.
6) Signage shall meet the requirements of Section 6 of Appendix A.
7) Up to 2 recreational boat/personal watercraft trailers may be kept on site at any given time.
5.19.4 Additional Units
1) For parcels requesting more than 10 units (regardless of ownership of business) a Special Use Permit must be obtained prior to commencement of business.
