| Nothing in this subchapter or in any other state law may be |
construed to be a limitation on the authority of |
municipalities to enact ordinances to regulate the assignment |
or placement of moorings and other activities in their |
harbors. These ordinances may include, but are not limited |
to: A process for assigning mooring privileges and |
determining the location of moorings; a waiting list for the |
assignment of mooring privileges; a fee schedule; construction |
standards for moorings; time limits on the mooring of vessels; |
a process for appeals from decisions of the harbor master; |
provisions that recognize that mooring privileges in lawful |
existence on the effective date of an ordinance may be |
preserved or continued after adoption of that ordinance, the |
location and use to be determined by the harbor master or |
other appropriate local authority; and provisions that |
establish a harbor commission or committee to administer the |
ordinance or ordinances and oversee the duties of the harbor |
master. Regulations adopted by the municipal officers under |
section 2 remain in effect unless the municipality's |
legislative body enacts an ordinance pertaining to the same |
matter pursuant to the Constitution of Maine, Article VIII, |
Part 2, and Title 30-A, section 3001. |
