Whenever a suitable size slip becomes available for a boat occupying a larger slip the owner or operator of such boat shall, within not more than three (3) days after notice of the suitable size availability given to the owner or operator by the Marina Department, remove such boat from the larger to the smaller available slip as assigned. Unless the boat owner or operator obtains an extension of time, granted in writing by the Marina Superintendent, to remain, for good cause, in such larger slip, the boat shall, after expiry of the three -day period, be assessed and charged the applicable dockage space rate for the larger slip.
