Only privately owned boathouses, which are physically in existence and located on the Spavinaw Reservoir Area, pursuant to a valid permit, held by the original permitees or their assigns, as of July 5, 1983, are authorized to be located thereon. The owner of each such privately owned boathouse shall pay to the City of Tulsa, as rental, a fee of Twenty-Four Dollars ($24.00) per year, per stall, which shall be due on or before January 1 of each year. An annual boathouse permit shall be issued by the City upon payment of such fee. No privately owned boathouse shall be placed or erected upon such waters after July 5, 1983, except as provided in subparagraph C. of this section. C. In addition to those existing privately owned boathouses identified in subparagraph B. of this section, owners or assigns of an existing valid boathouse permit, who do not presently have an existing boathouse, may, construct a boathouse on the Spavinaw Reservoir Area that meets the applicable written standards established by the City of Tulsa, on or before, but no later than June 1, 2020. If owners or assigns of an existing boathouse permit, who do not have an existing boathouse, fail to construct a boathouse on the Spavinaw Reservoir Area that meets the applicable written standards established by the City of Tulsa, by June 1, 2020, that permit will lapse, will be revoked, will not be renewed, and cannot be transferred. No other privately owned boathouses shall be constructed on the Spavinaw Reservoir Area. D. All privately owned docks and boathouses shall be maintained in good condition in accordance with the written standards established by the City. The Director is authorized and empowered to make, adopt and amend written rules, regulations and standards to carry out the purposes of this section, subject to the approval of the Mayor. Any dock or boathouse which becomes dilapidated or fails to meet the written standards established by the City, or for which the annual fee for boathouses has not been paid, may, upon sixty (60) days' written notice to the owner by registered mail, be removed from the lake area by the City and the costs thereof shall be assessed against the owner after sixty (60) days from the date a Notice to Cure is sent to the owner by registered mail. Further, such permit will lapse, will be revoked, will not be renewed and cannot be transferred. E. All privately owned boathouse permits are revocable licenses not existing in perpetuity, irrespective of whether such license or permit existed as of July 1983. The City of Tulsa maintains the right, by action of the TMUA, upon sixty (60) days written notice to all persons subject to this section, to revoke Title 11 C TRO Section 413 in its entirety, and thus, revoke the permit program and all privately owned boathouse permits. Should the City of Tulsa revoke this section, all privately owned boathouses shall be immediately and permanently removed from the Spavinaw Reservoir Area, at each owner's expense. F. No privately owned boathouse, except those permitted as of July 5, 1983, shall be kept, offered for rent or rented. (Ord. No. 15754; Ord. No. 22850, § 1, 3-28-2013, eff. 4-1-2013; Ord.
