What this water allows
We measure each of this lot’s two water edges separately, then take 5 ft off each side — the boat setback that applies here, which is what leaves dockable lengths of 274 ft and 153 ft. The property fronts the New River Sound, so no canal width limits beam. Depth is the one limit we don’t state: no public survey covers the water here at a resolution we can rely on.
Limits from ULDR 47‑19.3(h) (where a moored boat may lie) and Code 8‑91(e) (how far it may reach).
