Sooooo, this is only for the east side of the channel? and Now we will have a tie down? And the spacing is 11 ft (most boats are eight to eight and a half wide)? This would leave an average of three feet between boats. Unless two people get close to one side and use two tie downs then it could leave up to six feet to one side for the kids to play??
Doesn't sound too unreasonable to me. If I want to have an "Adult Day" I'll find another party on the lake. I agree some of the other potential issues are B.S. but this doesn't sound bad to me.

Seems the new Police chief is trying to make up some of the other rules like riding on the engine cover in the channel etc... Mutha F'er needs to worry about his own house. I'll bet his life is a complete gaggle F... So, this is why he worries about others so much.
It's BS, no matter how u slice it.. I've got to lil girls, and I think this is BS....Making an ignoramous rule like this, doesn't better boating, it's just another way this city wants to take more and more away FROM boaters. It's like when the federal govt decides it's in OUR best interest to put "security" cameras in every frickin orifice of America, and ignorant mofo's always say,"well if it it'll keep me safer than I don't see the harm." I always say, "You don't see the harm because you're an idiot!"I'm sure the city is hiding behind mama's skirt by saying,"It's safer if we can keep 11 feet in between each boat." Ya it's safer, and so is keeping every boat out of the water between 11 am thru 4 pm...Oops did I say that???
There goes another ordinance next year, sorry people!

Look, I agree with the point your trying to make. I also, agree the City Counsel is hidding behind Mama's skirt too. I'm not looking at it as a "safety issue". I'm looking at it as a "comfort issue" (only the 11ft item, and nothing else). How many idiots try to shove their boats into an area much too small for their skill then everyone is running to save the boat of the person already on the beach? 11ft give plenty of space for the "Newby, idiot boat driver", for kids to play, and for people to go between boats and not worry about a possible wake making the boats come together an crush a kid or person that happened to want to take a dip. Not to mention, if we have ties we don't have to keep setting our boat back on the beach and you won't have to set your own spike.
I think this, and only this item is not so bad. All the other issues are BULLSH!T
The thing that pisses me off is that they are making offenses a focking misdemeanor (up to 6 months/$1000)... WTF? It's a friggen parking ticket if anything... So they will enforce this stupid new rule, piss someone off and arrest them on the new behaviour law? It's entrapment I say...
Do they still have signs in front of Kingsview condos??
Dont mean to be the drag here, but I dont believe any of us that are complaining were at these meetings trying to do something about it (me included)... Therefore I dont complain about it because obviosly its not a big enough issue for me to care about.
So they are saying that on the Island side anything goes???
