Current By-Laws

South Shore Hills Property Owners Association

This document replaces and supercedes all previous documents

Adopted by the Board of Directors & Membership May, 2017

1) All Association dues must be paid to date to be eligible for dock space.

2) Member dock fees shall be $200 per season per dock space. For those that had a dock space the previous year, this fee must accompany Member’s request for dock space and be submitted to the Association Treasurer by April 15. If your fee and request for dock space are not postmarked by April 15, your dock space may be reassigned. If you are requesting a dock space for the first time, please submit only the request. If we can fulfill that request, we will notify you that payment is due.

3) Members must moor a boat registered in the Member’s name and have current registration on file with the Association Treasurer to retain their dock space. A Member that requests dock space and does not moor a boat, will fall to the bottom of the waiting list the following year.

4) If a members’ name appears on more than one lot, they will have access to only one dock space unless a second dock space is available. (See #5 below)

5) A maximum of two dock spaces per Member is allowed as long as dock space is available for any Member who requests a dock space– see point 13 for additional information.

6) A dock space may accommodate up to two boats. Boats and/or lifts must run parallel to docks.

7) Dock space cannot be sold with your property or dockage guaranteed.

8) No dock spaces are guaranteed – EVER.

9) Maximum boat length is 25 feet. (Maximum hoist width is 120” – inside dimension)

10) The Association will build, install, remove and maintain all docks owned by the Association. All docks are to be shared. Weather permitting, Association docks will be installed by May 15 and removed after October 15. All members' boats & hoists should be removed by October 15. Installation and removal of hoists are the sole responsibility of the Member and where possible, are to be stored at the East or West end of each lakefront at the end of each boating season.

11) The existing permanent docks may be used for occasional mooring by Members and/or Guests of Member’s. Mooring is limited to 2 visits per season with each visit not to exceed nine (9) consecutive days. The Member must arrange dockage with the Dock Master prior to mooring as well as providing the Dock Master with the MC#, Owners Name and type of boat. A logfile will be maintained and emailed to the President and Secretary, prior to each use. (These docks are for every Member’s use, not just those with boats.)

Ø Small watercraft (includes row boats; kayaks; personal watercraft; etc) are permitted to be tied up on YOUR stake on the West lot next to the boathouse, now designated as a “utility area”. This is on a first come, first serve basis with the same time limit as the main dock above (9 consecutive days) and must be arranged with the Dock Master.

12) In the event a current dock space Member requests to change dock spaces, the Dock Master will log the request and when that space becomes available, the current Member will have the first choice before a new Member is assigned a dock space.

13) In the event that a new Member requests a dock space and all 24 dock spaces are occupied, the following guidelines will go into effect:

Ø Any Member(s) having more than one dock space will be asked to give up one dock space and that dock space reassigned to the requesting Member once the dock fees are paid. In the event that more than one Member has multiple dock spaces, unless someone volunteers to vacate, the last Member to obtain a second dock space will vacate. (Seniority rules.)

Ø If all dock spaces are occupied, a waiting list will be created and maintained by the Dock Master & President.

These guidelines are subject to change per governmental authority, or other legal standards.
