Dock Building in Merritt Island, FL

Dock building in Merritt Island requires a drawing tied to the legal waterfront boundary, not simply to the visible seawall. A Brevard hearing concerning a Sea Shell Drive property illustrates why those lines can differ. Before choosing decking or a boat position, ask Capital Marine Construction or Dream Docks to establish the proposed footprint on a survey and explain how it relates to the existing wall and neighboring water access.

Do not use the visible wall as the assumed measuring line

The December 2022 hearing for 1705 Sea Shell Drive discussed a seawall positioned beyond the property line and a dock-projection variance. County staff explained the measurement by reference to the platted property line. The board's approval was for that submitted survey and circumstances. It is not a permission to copy the same projection on another Merritt Island canal.

Develop the usable dock within the reviewed footprint

Capital Marine offers several decking materials and additions such as lighting, water and shore power. Dream Docks builds custom docks, piers and boathouses and handles waterfront permitting. Ask the design to show walking access, the intended boat position and any utilities, then have optional features priced without changing the agreed footprint unnoticed.

Dock building questions for Merritt Island

Can I measure my new dock from the existing seawall?

Have the surveyor or project designer establish the correct reference. The Sea Shell Drive case shows why the visible wall and property boundary may not coincide.

Does a neighbor’s approved dock establish my allowed size?

No. The cited board decision was tied to a particular survey and circumstances. Obtain review of your own proposed layout.

Can Capital Marine add power or water to the dock?

Those additions are advertised. Identify the supply route, separate trade work and included approvals in the written proposal.

Should a boathouse be shown with the dock at the outset?

Yes. Dream Docks offers boathouses as well as docks; disclose the complete intended structure so the design enquiry covers it.
