That seems unreasonable to expect other people to remove their property because you bought a boat that is too big to navigate the waterways safely. The boat owner could also consider using a marina. There are dry docks, wet slips and other storage facilities that would eliminate this problem completely.

@@LuciusKyrus Is this your boat cover? This attitude like yours is way wrong. You buy a home in the water to have a boat (big or small) and access to the bay and waterways. His cover and frame is over hanging by several feet into the right of way. If you parked your truck half into the roadway, would you say to just buy a smaller car or drive on another road. No! The right of way access if for every one. Not just this dirtbag and aholes like you and make obstacles and obstruction in the way.

If the cover is relatively the same size as the boat it’s covering then what difference does it make if it’s permanent or not ? Most people aren’t stupid enough to try and moor a 40 foot boat in a residential marina, it’s like buying a Mack truck and double trailer then blaming the neighbours parked across the road because you can’t park it in front of your house lol rich 🤑 entitled stupid people it’s hilarious everyone else has a modest sized boat in the marina then you got these idiots Edit: best advertising for coastline covers is the boat driver saying it didn’t break even with a 7000lb boat under power pulling on it 😂

The business owner seems like he's in the right. His structures do not violate county ordinances according to lawyers because they are not permanent structures and if that is correct then he should continue running his business. In many counties it requires permits and licenses to install a concrete wall around your property, but you can still install the concrete wall if the blocks are not permanently joined together. It's not wrong, it's called playing by the rules.

Yeah, sorry, but when these people elect to live next to 30 other people all cramming into a canal with bigger and bigger million dollar shiny boats that barely fit in the first place, what do you expect? If it's not the cover, it'll be something else like the next neighbour upgrading their dock to fit their even bigger boat they just upgraded to. And while all this goes on "po folk" in small sportfishing boats are coming and going no problem. I see this as the water version of buying the biggest SUV possible but living in a dense city, and complaining that your side street in the middle of the city has too many steps and dumpsters and you can't get your SUV out anymore because you keep clipping the dumpsters. More money, more and stupider problems. Want a big boat? Don't live on a tiny canal.

The frame does not look like it's more stout than the beams holding up the docks. $25,000 in damages seems a bit excessive to blame on the metal frame. I'm curious how the outriggers caught the cover if they were stowed correctly and if the captain had complete control of his vessel. With as many security cameras as there are these days, it seems reasonable that someone should have caught.

Yes and no, if someone trespasses on your property, or allows their minor/child to trespass, and drowns in your pool, pond or whatever on your property it is THEIR fault, Period!. As for the huge rediculously large protruding frames for these covers that obviously block getting by to and from your dock then it is absolutely their fault of any accidents or damage trying to get by.. it's hard to believe how trivial these rich lying self-righteous hypocritical jerks problems are compared to the struggles of some of US other good American People.. like making sure I have the $700 for rent on the first of the month, and can cover paying for the exorbitant Medical bills since I don't have any medical insurance, and the list goes on and on.. **And Don't forget about the Criminal, Criminal justice system that has totally, completely unConstitutional oppressive tyrannical overreaching powers and treats these rich scumbags completely differently than US regular everyday American People..

@Lee Devries Unfortunately the home owner is the responsible party for insuring that the proper permit has been pulled/complied with. I personally don't see any issues with this type of cover other then it overhangs the dock to much. I would be a pissed off neighbor if this guy blocked up my canal with this. I'll sell this guy some outriggers if he's willing to pay $25k for them... lol

Yeah, the contractor is in the right. Temporary structures have never been permitted structures anywhere. A boat cover on a dock that can be removed is temporary. The contractor knows his laws. That’s why he’s waiting to get a ticket and go to court, the court has already defined permitted vs temporary structures many times and the local government always loses that battle. It is a temporary structure. People need to stop trying to control what people do with their own property and money. If you don’t like the covers on the canal, sell your house and move somewhere else.

Anything that impedes a navigable waterway or canal must be made in a way so that it does not impede the waterway and safe navigation of all vessels that normally or are able to navigate that waterway. The waterway must be kept safe during daylight or during night time use . Nothing shall protrude in such a manner that can not be seen during night navigation .

When you’re operating a vessel, you are in control of that vessel, if you hit something, it’s your fault, NOT the structure you hit! Plain and simple. Question- why did they hit the dock coming in and not going out? Probably a case of too many liquid courage’s!

Also, have the city attorney contact this idiot with his install company and cite him for offering legal advice to clients. At least slow him down a little while you get a handle on this: hundreds of tarps up?? Man, freedom fry states and people with too much money and not enough courtesy is a bad mix. Also, isn't that waterway FEDERAL Right of Way?? Check out the Federal angle and call in the Coast Guard. Our Conservation Officer and Traffic Highway fines START at 1,500 to 2,500 dollars.

There was one report last summer that a family left their boat dock and went out for the day. When they came back they could no longer reach their dock. The neighbor had a contractor on standby for when the families boat went out so he could modify his dock. He had told one of the neighbors that he could not put the cover over his boat until his neighbor went out on their boat. That incident had the police involved. The neighbors attacked one another over the structure. The police made it clear that they could not make anybody take down a structure. They had to turn it over to the permit department. When I first saw this video I thought it was this case that I'm speaking of and that perhaps a verdict from permits had came through.

I don't see a problem with using the covers unless the actual roof goes past the dock and into the navigable water. I believe there are rules as to how far you can go out with a dock and the roofline should be limited to that setback as well. Would be a better solution than a lengthy legal battle that ends up costing the taxpayers.
