Rules and limits for this property

We measure each of this lot's 2 water edges separately, then take 10 ft off each side — the dock setback that applies here, which is what leaves berths of 40 ft and 40 ft. At 299 ft, the waterway is wide enough that beam is not a limit here. Depth is the one limit we don’t state: no public survey covers these canals at a resolution we can rely on. We’ll measure it at the property for you.

Limits from Fort Lauderdale ULDR 47-19.3 (dock and mooring structures) and Code 8-91(e) (moored vessels).
