BEACHWOOD VILLAS MARINA RULES
AND REGULATIONS
Amended June 27, 2018,
Rev. 5
The following guidelines, rules, and regulations have been
established to provide a basis for the rights and responsibilities of people using
the marina property. The intent of this document is to specifically identify
certain activities that will assure the property rights of the condominium
owners and sub lessees, appropriate use of the facility with respect to safety
procedures, and the responsibilities of the people who dock their boats in the
marina.
I. ASSOCIATION The
Declaration and By-laws of the Beachwood Villas Condominium Owners Association,
Inc., are included herein by reference. The rules and regulations of the marina
are subordinated to those documents. Wherever reference is made to a boat, it
includes all other types of watercraft - jet-skis, dinghies, floats and rafts,
etc.
II. SAFETY
A) BOAT SPEED: No boat shall create a wake or exceed an idle speed
within the marina area.
B) FUEL CONTAINERS - STORAGE OF FUEL: No flammable fuel shall be
brought into the marina in any portable tank, can or other container. No fuel
in any portable container shall be stored on or in any watercraft, with the
exception of U.S. Coast Guard approved outboard tanks fitted with fuel line
couplings.
C) CONDITION OF BOAT AND EQUIPMENT: Every boat shall be maintained
in good condition and shall comply with and shall be operated in compliance
with all applicable Coast Guard, Federal, State, and local safety and
operational rules and regulations.
D) RULES OF THE ROAD: When approaching the mouth of the marina, it
is recommended that all boats sound one prolonged blast on their horns. This
signal should be answered by a prolonged blast by any vessel under way within
hearing, either inside or outside the marina, to avoid possible collision. In
our marina the inbound boat has the right-of- way.
III. EQUIPMENT
A) MOORING LINES: Mooring lines will be of adequate size and in
good condition. When lines are not tied
to boats they must be neatly placed on dock in a manner to not cause trip
hazards.
B) WATERPROOF POWER CORDS AND CONNECTORS: Cords and connectors of
adequate size and in good condition are to be used for shore power hook-
ups. Power cords must be switched off
at the power stand before disconnecting from your boat. Cords should be wound up and hung from the
power stand.
C) DOCK BOXES: There will be a standard size and shape dock box.
See Dock Box Specifications for further information. Dock boxes shall be
installed and maintained at the expense of the slip owner. D) WATER HOSES:
Hoses are to be stored on the hangers or brackets provided on the utility
stands. Do not leave hoses on the walkways.
E) HALYARDS: Sail boaters shall secure halyards away from masts to
prevent noise.
F) BOAT TRAILERS: Boat trailers shall not be parked or stored in
Beachwood Villas parking lots or other Common Areas on
weekends from Friday evening to Sunday evening, and all holiday weekends.
Short-term use of the parking areas on weekdays is acceptable (meaning one or
two days and overnight).
IV. DOCKS
A) DOCKING: All boats shall dock in their assigned slips unless
specific arrangements have been made with the owner of another slip. All boats
assigned slips must display a current Beachwood Marina sticker.
B) CLEATS: Boats shall tie only to the cleats provided on the
docks.
C) ATTACHMENTS TO DOCKS: Nothing shall be attached to, suspended
from or stored upon any dock or catwalk except: (a) fenders of reasonably
uniform appearance,
(b) mooring lines attached to the cleats
and coiled in a safe and non-obstructive way, and (c) approved shore power
cords. Maintenance supplies, tools and other equipment must not be left on
docks. Use of carpet on the docks or catwalks is expressly prohibited.
D) OBSTRUCTIONS: No obstruction shall be permitted to remain on
any dock or catwalk. This includes boat covers and mooring lines, which
obstruct the walkways.
E) DAMAGE TO MARINA FACILITY: Each owner is responsible for any
damage which he or any of his family or guests may cause anywhere in the
marina.
F) If dinghies, rubber boats or rafts, jet-skis and similar
watercraft are kept in the marina, they must be properly moored within the
confines of the owners' dock space.
G) Referring to Section 13 of the slip Sublease Agreement, any
boat moored in the marina may not exceed the length of the slip. The
application of this rule will be based upon over-all boat length including
pulpit, swim platform, and outboard motor.
No deviation from this rule will be permitted. The Marina Committee has
thoroughly investigated the basis for this requirement by contacting the
manufacturer of the dock system and the consulting engineer who designed the
components for our marina. Both concur that we must adhere to design criteria.
A letter to this effect is on file.
H) It is suggested that jet
pads follow the attached diagram when tying up to your dock. Jet pads should not touch your dock, dock
floats and water lines when properly tied up.
Jet pad mooring lines should be nylon braid ½” minimum and in good
condition. No polypropylene lines,
chains, or wire rope are permitted.
I) All jet pads must have
an identification number using your dock number, preferably white block number
3” tall attached to the bow.
J) Jet pads must be
maintained in good condition, ie no weeds growing, no
dead fish and debris, etc.
K) EZ load docks with hard
connections must be attached with systems approved by the committee. Attachment with lines is preferred.
L) Jet pad must be adequate
to maintain weight of jet skis, ie jet pad buoyancy
adequate enough to support jet skis totally out of the water so they cannot
float off by themselves.
K) Jet skis must be secured
and tied down to the jet pad to prevent them from floating off by themselves
V.
INSPECTION A) MARINA COMMITTEE: Members of the Marina
Committee, or any person approved by the Committee, shall have the right to
inspect any boat, at any time, in company with the owner, to insure that
adequate safety standards are observed and that his boat is seaworthy and in
good condition. The Marina Committee may call any condition, which it deems
unsafe to the attention of the owner and the owner shall promptly rectify,
same.
Boats, which are judged to be a threat to lives and or property,
must be removed from the marina.
VI.
DISPOSAL
A) REFUSE: All refuse shall be deposited in designated containers
supplied by the marina. To reduce maintenance costs, slip owners are encouraged
to use the trash containers in their condo building, especially if the marina
containers are full or almost full.
B) FISH: Cleaning fish anywhere on the docks, boardwalks or
walkways is strictly prohibited, and no fish remains are to be placed in the
marina trash containers or any building trash containers.
C) PUMPING OVERBOARD: Pumping waste products into the marina is
prohibited. A pump-out station for boat owners is located at the east end of
the marina on the pier.
VII. PEOPLE

while in and about the marina. Children under 12 must wear a Coast Guard
approved P.F.D. (Life jacket) while on the docks and walkways. No running
permitted.
E) DOGS AND PETS: Dogs must be leashed at all times while on
marina property. All pet waste is to be cleaned up and removed by the owners.
F) NOISE: No excessive noise shall be permitted. Boat owners and
guests must refrain from any activity, which creates a nuisance.
G) BREAKWALL: No one is permitted to climb on the break wall
stones.
VIII.
MISCELLANEOUS
A) NO WAIVER: Any expressed or implied waiver of any rule or
regulation shall not be deemed to be a continuing waiver by the Marina
Committee and, notwithstanding any prior practice or course of business, any
such rule or regulation may be enforced by the Marina Committee any time
without prior notice.
B) AMENDMENTS AND MODIFICATIONS: The rules and regulations may be
added to, modified or amended at any time and from time to time at the absolute
discretion of the Marina Committee by posting any such changes for a minimum of
ten days at the marina facility, the marina website, and/or by notification via
U.S. mail and/or e-mail.
C) INTERPRETATION: The decision of the Beachwood Villas Marina
Committee as to any interpretation or application of any rule or regulation
shall be final and binding upon all persons.
IX.
COMPLAINT PROCEDURE Complaints against anyone violating the rules are to be made to
the Marina Committee in writing and containing the signature of the individual
filing the complaint. The Marina Committee will in most instances contact the
alleged violator after receipt of each complaint. If some infraction of the
rules actually did occur, the person involved will be asked to cease the
violation.
If reasonable efforts to gain compliance are unsuccessful, the
slip owner and/or unit owner will be subject to a sanction in accordance with a
determination made by the Marina Committee.
The entire cost of affecting a legal remedy to enforce compliance,
including attorney fees and management charges, shall be added to the account
of the violating slip owner-boat owner.
X. BOAT
IDENTIFICATION
A) In order that all boats docked
in the marina be identified as to ownership and size,
boat owners must furnish the Marina Committee with a copy of the ODNR
Watercraft Registration certificate. The document should be mailed to:
Beachwood Villas Marina Committee, 1507 Cleveland Road East, Mailbox #40, Huron, OH 44839. Or contact a member of the Marina Committee
and they will provide the name and address of the committee member who is
currently handling the boat identification procedure. Upon receipt of the
requested information, a Beachwood Villas Marina sticker will be provided. The
sticker is to be displayed in an easily seen location on the watercraft.
B) The Sixth Amendment to the Declaration of Condominium Ownership
Beachwood Villas Condominiums submitted and assigned the Marina to the
condominium development (Beachwood Villas Owners Association).
1.
Sublease: The sublease
of slips is restricted to Family Unit Owners. Further sublease (rental) by the
unit owner is limited to persons residing in Beachwood Villas Condominiums.
Therefore, no one is permitted to sublease a slip and either dock or operate a
boat from the Marina unless they are family members of unit owners or residents
of Beachwood Villas Condominiums.
2.
Co-ownership: In the
event a boat is co-owned, both owners must live in
Beachwood Villas - they must both be unit owners or residents, or they cannot
dock the boat in the Marina.
3. Corporation or Trust Ownership: Privately held Corporation or
Trust ownership of a boat in the marina is allowable providing the Corporation ownership
and condo ownership can be tied (i.e., an owner of the corporation or the
corporation is the slip and condo owner). In this situation there must be a
common name on all official documents for all three - condo unit, slip and
boat.
C) Slips may be further subleased or rented to another unit owner
or a resident. A rental agreement form is available for use in this type of
transaction. A copy of the rental agreement must be given to the Marina
Committee for approval.
The Marina Committee must be informed of any pending rentals. The
boat to be brought into the marina must be identified with a Beachwood Villas
Marina sticker prior to entering the marina. This requires sending a copy of
the boat's ODNR registration certificate to the Marina Committee, whereupon a
sticker will be issued, if everything is in order.
XI. BOAT USE A) Boats docked in the marina may not be used for any
commercial activity.
B) Living aboard a boat docked in the marina is prohibited, other
than for short stays not to exceed one week.

BEACHWOOD VILLAS MARINA
DOCK BOX SPECIFICATIONS Amended April 9, 2005 - Rev #2
The following specifications are to be used as a guideline in
selecting a dock box.
Rectangular Box: 55” x 30” x 25” high
Color -white
Construction - molded plastic or fiberglass
Tricorner Box: 61” x
33” x 25” high
Color -white
Construction - molded plastic or fiberglass
There will be some unique problems encountered when installing boxes
on A, C, and D docks. Rectangular boxes for “A” docks will have to be
cantilevered or installed so they hang over the back side of the walkway. “C”
and “D” dock tricorner box installation may require
relocating the mooring cleat used for one bow line. On half of the “C” and “D”
docks tricorner box installation may require moving
the box out to avoid the mooring post in the corner of the slip.
Anyone with questions should contact the marina committee before
proceeding with installation.
