Community Docks, Piers, and Boathouses

Community facilities where individual facilities are not allowed

TVA may limit water-use facilities to community facilities where there are physical or environmental constraints on the shoreline that would preclude approval of individual docks, piers, or boathouses.
When individual water-use facilities are not allowed, no more than one slip for each lot adjoining the TVA shoreland will be approved for any community facility.
In narrow coves or other situations where shoreline frontage is limited, shoreline development may be limited to one landing dock for temporary moorage of boats not to exceed the 1,000-square-foot footprint requirement, and/or a boat launching ramp, if the site, in TVA’s judgment, will accommodate such development.
TVA will establish harbor limits for community facilities exceeding 1,000 square feet in area.

Community facilities at jointly owned community outlots

Plans for community facilities must be submitted by a developer of the subdivision or by a state chartered homeowner’s association with a property interest in the community lot where the facilities are proposed.
Size and number of community slips permitted would be determined by the size of the community lot, amount of parking it can accommodate, amount of shoreline frontage available for facilities, and the number of property owners with access rights to be accommodated.
Vegetation management shall be in accordance with TVA requirements except that, at TVA’s discretion, the community access corridor may exceed 20 feet in width and thinning of vegetation outside of the corridor within or beyond the shoreline management zone may be allowed.
