The Marina is a valuable benefit of home ownership
in Oakshore Park. To ensure that all homeowners
receive equitable treatment, we must follow the simple
guidelines which have been in effect for over 20
years. This year we have invested in all new aluminum
docks and the design of the boat slips is different
from our previous system. Guidelines have been modified
to include new rules for slip owners. The OSP Dock
Assignments for 2005 are shown on the reverse side
of this page.
-
The OSP Marina is jointly owned by all members of the
Oakshore Park Homeowners Association (OPHA) and
is for their exclusive use.
-
OPHA members may bring guests to the Marina, provided
that the guests are accompanied by an Association
member while using the Marina. Children of OSP can
use the Marina without a member present.
-
Guests of OPHA may not be given an open invitation
to use the Marina on an ongoing, unaccompanied basis.
Association by-laws and insurance implications reinforce
this requirement.
-
Guests' boats may be launched at the Marina subject
to the homeowner's presence. All slips are owned
and assigned. The outside of the 3 end slips are available
for temporary use and are owned by OPHA. An unused
homeowner's slip may be temporarily used with permission
from the homeowner. Unrecognized guests should be advised
that they may be requested to identify themselves.
OPHA members have the right to politely request identification
of unrecognized users. Abuses should be reported to
the Marina Committee or President of the OPHA.
-
Non-members of OPHA may not be given permission to
keep their boats at the Marina. All boats kept at
the Marina must be owned by and registered in the
names of OPHA members.
-
Please keep the launching ramp and drive clear, except
for the time required to launch. Parking is encouraged
on the paved parking area adjacent to Ethan Avenue.
-
Please use the "Golden Rule" when using the Marina:
Respect the rights of other OPHA member who have a
right to use the Marina. Please avoid trespassing on
the property of the adjacent homeowners.
-
Please leave the Marina and Picnic area cleaner than
you found it. The Marina is truly an asset to us
as homeowners and should be given the highest respect
when being used. Overnight camping is prohibited
in the Marina without the expressed permission of
the Marina Committee and the Association Board.
-
The new dock system allows for adequate room for two
boats to occupy one of the double wide slips. It
is important that you secure your boat to your dock
in such a manner that it will not come loose or extend
over and make contact with your neighbor's boat.
You also need to use a method of securing your boat
to allow enough clearance for your neighbor to enter
and exit the slip with a minimum of 3 foot clearance
between the boats when they are up against the dock.
Any issues between adjacent slip owners need to be
resolved by them.
-
When homeowners move, their dock/slip should be sold
to the purchasers of their home, or to other OPHA
members who do not own a slip. The Marina Committee
will assist if requested. Dock/slips cannot be sold
to non-OPHA members. Ownership of docks/slips is
limited to one per Oakshore Park homeowner. If you
require an additional slip you can work with another
slip owner to "sublet" their slip.
-
All slip owners must be available to help at "docks-in" and "docks-out" work
days. There is always area clean up help needed for
those who cannot physically lift and install the docks.
