Rules for Use of the Lake
- All persons who use the lake must exercise courtesy
and consideration to other lake users and must conform
to these boating rules, unless to do so would create a
hazardous or unsafe situation.
- Attached hereto is a map of Grandview Lake
designating certain restrictions within certain areas of
the lake, and use of the lake shall comply with the
regulation as shown on this map. Skiers from a lot may
be towed into or out of such lot, but the boat and the
skier must not cross any area within 100 feet in front
of any other lot or the designated "IDLE ZONE" area as
shown on the attached map.
- All boats must carry a Coast Guard approved
lifesaving device for each occupant of the boat.
- No person under the age of sixteen (16) years shall
operate a boat having a motor over ten (10) horsepower
or jet ski, except under one of the following
conditions:
a. Accompanied by a person over the age of eighteen (18)
years.
b. Accompanied by a person over the age of sixteen (16)
years who has been issued a certificate of completion of
a U. S. Coast Guard or Power Squadron approved basic
boating course.
- The maximum overall length of boats that are
permitted on the lake is limited to 21 feet for power
boats, 24 feet for pontoon boats, 19 feet for sailboats,
except for those registered and stickered before
November 4, 1990, although such boats may not be
registered and stickered to a different lot or different
owner after November 4, 1990. The manufacturer’s
specifications as to the length of a watercraft shall
constitute proof of the length of such watercraft. The
"length of boats" may be determined by the certificate
of title of each boat, if accurate. Boats with cabins or
on-board toilets are not allowed on the lake, except for
those registered and stickered before November 4, 1990,
although such boats may not be registered or stickered
to a different lot or different owner after November 4,
1990.
- All docks, boat lifts, and floats (regardless of
size), including floating trampolines, must be anchored
so that they meet all the following specifications:
a. They are not to extend more than 60 ft. from the
original shoreline of Grandview Lake, and
b. They shall not be more than one-fifth (1/5) the
distance from the original shoreline of Grandview Lake
to the opposite shore, and
c. Any float or dock that is located more than 40 ft.
from shore, must itself, or by attached flag, always
extend at least 12 inches above the surface of the
water. Reflectors sufficient to reflect light during
dark conditions must be placed as high as possible on
the existing structure of the float or dock so as to be
visible for 360 degrees around each dock and float. This
may require a reflector to be placed on every side of
such dock or float. As used herein the word “float”
includes any floating trampoline.
- No lines or cables or underwater obstructions which
are within 8 ft. below the surface of the water shall be
placed in the lake without sufficient identification or
markings clearly visible to those operating boats.
- No person shall swim more than 100 ft. from shore or
beyond the "IDLE ZONE" areas as shown on the attached
map without an accompanying boat, nor shall users of air
mattresses or other flotation devices get into boat
traffic patterns or more than 100 ft. from shore or
beyond the "IDLE ZONE" areas as shown on the attached
map.
- No one shall discard cans, bottles, trash, or any
other refuse into the lake, and no one shall dump or
allow the discharge of gasoline, oil, sewage, or other
toxic materials into the lake.
- Any special event to be conducted on the lake shall
have prior approval of the BOD. This rule is intended to
benefit the Grandview Yacht Club and Grandview Ski Club,
but may apply to other organizations of lot owners as
well.
- All boats, including jet skis, must have designed
reasonable seating capacity for all occupants and
persons being towed. For example, a jet ski designed for
two (2) persons occupied by two (2) persons may not tow
any person.
- Ice skating and use of snowmobiles, ice boats and
other similar devices registered under SECTION 3 is
allowed on Grandview Lake. Use of the lake for these
purposes is at such person’s risk, and all children who
use the lake for these purposes must be accompanied and
supervised by a person eighteen (18) years or age or
older, who shall be responsible for their safe use of
the lake. Snowmobile races and ice boat races are
prohibited unless approval of the Board of Directors of
the Grandview Lot Owners Association is first obtained
for each specific activity.
- Any construction at the Grandview shoreline* will be
done so as to not extend the shoreline into the lake
thereby reducing lake area. The shoreline may be
recessed into the lot. Riprap may be used beyond the
shoreline for shoreline and sea wall protection. Sand
(or other small aggregate) may be used at the shoreline
for enjoyment as long as it does not affect the
neighboring lots.
*Shoreline is determined
using these steps:
- Grandview Lake pool level is 730 feet above sea
level. Find the pool level.
- At each lot line and between the lot lines mark
points at the pool level on the earth.
- These points are the shoreline following the
contour on the earth
