The accessible (handicap) docking area shall be utilized only if a person with a disability is being transported in or is operating a boat to or from the docking area.
What a poorly-written ordinance. So the handicap spot can only being used if a handicapped person is being picked up or dropped off? It doesn't sound like anybody, regardless of handicap status, can tie up and leave their boat there while they go into town.

I have a disability (heck a stutter is a "disability") and dock my boat there--display my placard--and walk around town. Now, since I am not being transported in, or operating my boat to or from that area, I am in violation.
