NR 326.07(3)(3) To provide each riparian with sufficient room to place a pier and moor a boat along the common line between adjacent riparians the following technique will be used: NR 326.07(3)(a)(a) Each riparian shall back their respective pier away from the common line or point of intersection of that line with the line of navigation in proportion to the riparian’s share of the 2 adjacent shoreline lengths until sufficient room is provided to moor each riparian’s boat at their respective pier and to provide safe maneuvering room for each boat to approach or leave the respective pier. NR 326.07(3)(b)(b) If a riparian cannot move sufficiently from one side without violating the rule on the other side, then the riparian shall position the pier in that location which best satisfies the rule on both sides and each riparian shall then move far enough to the side regardless of shoreline proportions to afford the necessary clearance.

NR 326.08(1)(1) Finding. The natural resources board finds that near shore areas are the most heavily used areas of a water body and are the most valuable ecological areas. Extensive and large structures on an individual and cumulative basis interfere with the public’s ability to use and enjoy near shore areas and affect the growth of aquatic vegetation necessary for fish and wildlife habitat. Accordingly, the natural resources board finds that the use of swim rafts in excess of 200 square feet in surface area or 38 inches in height may interfere with public rights as used in s. 30.13 (1m), Stats., and thereby require a permit under s. 30.12, Stats. NR 326.08(2)(a)(a) Swim rafts which are pulled onto shore and completely removed from the water on a daily basis or that are placed in swim areas marked and approved pursuant to s. NR 5.09 are exempt from sub. (1). NR 326.08(2)(b)(b) The height limitation of sub. (1) does not apply to protective covers, diving boards, ladders and slides. NR 326.08(3)(3) Measurements. Calculations to determine the square footage of a swim raft shall include diving boards, ramps, slides and similar accessories. NR 326.08 HistoryHistory: CR 01-054: cr.
