There is also a launch ramp leading into the basin for regular trailer launching of watercraft. Rules were waived, no wheels were greased. The project was simply well put together.
My point with the Marriott's is that money and a wink and a nod don't work as some keep suggesting.

The Marriott's still have a kitchen and bathroom in the boathouse, (still a house) because it was there before.

Both of these boathouses were built before the size restriction went into place.
