Hi Folks, I'm new to the forum!!
I have a new neighbor who says he is going to build a pier extending 150ft.. My brother built a new pier 5 years ago and was told by the APCO rep. the max. was 85ft. Anyone know for what is currently allowed?
Thanks.

I thought the SQFT of piers had to be in relation to the amount of water shoreline on your property?

We are new to the lake but that is what we understood. Our house already had a pier built.

I wasnt interested in the sq. ft. of the pier but how far a new pier can extend from the shoreline in to the lake. Thanks for responding!

The Sq Ft of a pier does have to do with how far it can reach out into the lake.

This is regulations for Lake Martin and there should be something similar for Logan Martin.

PERMITS WILL NOT BE APPROVED AND/OR CONSTRUCTION WILL NOT BE ALLOWED WITHOUT A FULLY APPROVED PERMIT AND ALL SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS. (Signed permit, deed copy, signed sketch, signed guidelines etc.)



Sketches must show all existing facilities with their dimensions and locations as well as the proposed locations (with dimensions) of all new facilities. All sketches must be submitted on 8.5x11 standard paper. They must show the locations of all proposed constructions and the proximity to the shoreline and property lines. For seawall constructions, sketches must show distance from full pool shoreline. Sketches for piers, boathouses. Ramps, boat slips, etc. are to show size, length, width and if with a roof, height and dimension of roof. Specify type of materials to be used. Your sketch must be signed.


Lots with less than 100 linear feet of shoreline maybe restricted or may not be eligible for structures within the power pool area of the reservoir



Any and all lake front property construction (piers, ramps, boathouses, boat slips, etc.) should be set a minimum of 15 feet from your property line. This separation should be maintained for a reasonable distance within the lake area. This distance will be determined by Alabama Power Company on a case by case basis. Pavilions, gazebos or any other appurtenant structure "cannot" be enclosed or walled except that screening may be used for the exterior walls of said structure. No satellite dishes or similar structures may be placed below the normal high water level of any reservoir. No garbage or foreign materials (remnants of building material, old appliances, tires, etc.) are to be placed below the high water level of any reservoir. In a narrow slough, no structure can extend over 1 /3 way across the slough.


PIERS: Should not exceed 50' in length, should not exceed 420 sq. feet. Piers 4 ft. and less in width are considered walkways and will be included in length, but will not be included in the square footage guideline.



FLOATING DOCK(S): Floating dock(s) attached to a stationary pier should not exceed 12 feet beyond the stationary pier and no more than 290 square feet. If the floating dock is to be built with a walkway instead of a stationary pier, the dimensions will fall under the stationary pier category. Must use approved polystyrene. Certain restrictions may apply according to seasonable water levels.
