In other words, if you wish to construct a building on the same land, using the 50 foot required setback, it will have to be 80 feet from your natural shoreline because they start measuring from where the boat bay ends.
That was always my understanding too. The street sign at Docks Unlimited read like they were implying the rules have changed.
