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 141 ft and 122 ft. This lot fronts two waters: the Stranahan River, where no canal width limits beam, and a 154 ft canal, where a dock and the boat tied to it may together reach 30% of the way across. 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).
