What needs to be done to remedy that?

also need to allow boats to dock on the backside, only reason I see they don't allow this is maybe because the pathway is too close to the swimline to the beach, but I think that is crazy, ie example of Center Harbor its fine

Thanks for letting us know! :-)
(See some post can just be about thanking the poster. Not slamming the docking and the businesses. ) |

AC....
You can dock on the backside anytime except bike week.... its just very shallow so only small boats/jetskis can fit back there. I used to dock my 22 Classic Donzi there, but would have trim way up and "pulse" it in. Woodsy

I was told by Laconia Public Works, that the state due to shoreland laws makes it prohibitive to make changes to the docks. If they want to make changes the new layout will significantly reduce the number of boats that can dock in order to fit the present guidelines. One reason why many 'grandfathered' their docks.

"Grandfathering" is not an active step. It automatically occurs because you are already there when the law changes. DES would likely have no problem removing a few docks, creating more more "usable" space. I don't know the exact measurements at the Weirs, but I think the actual space is available, unless two cruisers, for example, dock side by side. One easy solution (seems easy to me) is to have a dockmaster who will direct small boats (<8.5' beam) to move forward and not block them with large beam boats. If Glendale/Gilford can put a full time officer on duty, seven days a week, surely Laconia can do it on weekends. Maybe take a few thousand out of the $2MM and run a pilot program for two seasons? For some reason, people think they have to drive their boat in and out of narrow spaces instead of walking it. A dock master could direct people to walk boats in and out, or assign sequence numbers if boats are waiting. Just need a sign telling people which VHF channel to coordinate on. Best idea? Laconia could outsource Weirs management to the Forum. There's no shortage of free advice here. |
