An applicant’s property line can be no more than 200 feet from the dock site. After December 31 st, 2019, applicants for boat docks must have ready access to the shoreline as defined by the ownership of at least 75 continuous feet of adjoining property to the Government Property Line (GPL) within a Limited Development Area (LDA). Private floating facilities (Boat Docks) are permitted only in areas designated as Limited Development Areas (LDA). A fee will be charged for the Shoreline Use Permits to help defray expenses associated with the issuance, administration of the permits, and inspections. Shoreline use permits are issued for: (1) boat docks, (2) pedestrian foot paths, (3) vegetation modification, and (4) ambulatory assistance vehicular access. An application must be submitted for a permit prior to constructing boot mooring facilities, altering the terrain, or modifying vegetation on public land. Ownership of adjacent property does not convey any exclusive or preferential rights to the use of the lake or adjoining lands. Vegetation modification and footpath construction may be permitted in these areas but are at the discretion of the Operations Project Manager. Shoreline use permits will not be issued for floating facilities in these zones. Private floating facilities, vegetative modification, footpath construction, ambulatory assistant vehicle permits, and limited motel/resort leases are permitted in this allocation. The four categories are: (1) Limited Development Area. These allocations extend from the water’s edge to the project boundary for land-based uses and from the shoreline water ward for floating facility considerations. The shoreline of Beaver Lake is currently allocated into four major categories in accordance with 36 CFR 327.30, Shoreline Management of Civil Works Projects.
#BEAVER LAKE PROJECT OFFICE CODE#
Other than pedestrian access or general public recreation activities, any activity on public land not authorized by a permit/outgrant may be considered an encroachment, trespass, or degradation of public property and is a violation of the Rules and Regulations contained in Title 36, Code of Federal Regulations 327. These trees however are usually off-line and indicate that the GPL is nearby.Īdjoining property owners are encouraged to build permanent structures a sufficient distance back from the Government Property Line (GPL) to allow for maintenance of the structure and reduce the possibility of an encroachment by the subsequent addition of decks, porches, steps, patios, extension of landscaping or backyard appearance, etc. Some trees along the boundary line are marked with a white blaze or band as an additional aid to location of the GPL. A five-foot white, steel fence post is set approximately one-foot from the survey marker or monument, between the monument and water’s edge. The survey markers are 3 ½ -inch diameter, round brass caps stamped to show the monument number, the year surveyed, and the agency, Little Rock Corps of Engineers, U.S. The entire boundary line on Beaver Lake has been surveyed and is defined by survey monuments placed at ground level. The Government Property Line (GPL) is a very uneven line rather than a contour line around the lake. In addition, flowage easements were acquired above the blocked out fee acquisition line up to, as a general rule, elevation 1,135 or 1,148 m.s.l. or to include the lands required for public access areas. The real property fee acquisition line for Beaver Lake, as a general rule, was blocked out along regular land subdivisions or property ownership lines to include all lands below 1,128 m.s.l.
