You need something like 225' of frontage to have a third slip, so if the propertly is less than that, other sharees may have a valid claim that you need to share the slip rights that go with the shared property.

Actually at 225' you can have 4 boat slips, we have 289' of frontage and have just been permitted for 4 slips (3 fingers 12' apart between in a row). At 75' you can have 1 finger (1 slip on either side) and for every 75' in addition you can add 1 slip.
If it is deeded shared frontage I am surprised that the state granted you specifically the dock permit. I would think it would have to be some sort of association. Is the land actually yours and others are allowed deeded access/right out way?
