I just received this excerpt from the Naples City Managers office on the results of the anchoring survey. Although only a synapsis it gives the trends. The total results are available on line buy i do not have the link handy.
Remember this was just a survey of public opinion not new anchoring laws.
A few excerpts from the executive summary: · The survey, comprised of 25 questions, was conducted during the period from November 21 through December 7, 2014; there were 11,693 completed surveys submitted during the time period. · 52% of respondents stated they preferred that anchoring regulations be consistently applied everywhere in the state. · 51% of respondents either somewhat or strongly agreed that a setback from waterfront residences was appropriate. 6% were neutral, and 43% either somewhat or strongly disagreed with this concept. · 32% of respondents identified 150 feet as the most appropriate setback distance, while others preferred a 100 foot setback (21%) or a 50 foot setback (18%). The other preferred setback distances varied significantly among respondents (greater or less than 150 feet). · 66% of respondents either somewhat or strongly agreed with limiting the number of days a vessel may be stored on public waters in a given area. The proposal would limit the number of days to 60. 6% were neutral and 28% either somewhat or strongly disagreed with the concept.
