Mooring Ball Application

[eillac@dow]

Hello All...

I am posting this for my mother, who is a "silent" member of this forum!

Is there anyone else out there who has trouble with obtaining permits for their mooring balls? We have had permits for 2 mooring balls for the past 25 years. Every five years "the application" has to be filled out, while every year, copies of boat registrations have to be sent in.

Why does it seem to get more difficult each year? Whenever we send information in, it comes back saying that more info is needed. We have had to send in copies of the deed, maps, pictures, diagrams showing where raft, docks are and how far apart they are from each other. When we send in boat registrations, we are asked why all of the boats are not in my mother's name (property owner). She has to explain why the other boats belong to her children. It is back and forth.

This whole process seems to take so long ..... and year after year, they seem to want more and more info.

Are we alone here or are there others out there feeling the same way?

Thanks.
