Hannig, relating to claims of violations of environmental law and the common law Public Trust Doctrine in connection with Docktown Marina. The terms of the settlement include, among other items, the creation of a fund to address environmental issues and public trust issues associated with the public trust portion of Docktown. The City has agreed to adopt a Docktown Plan by December 31 , 2016 in conformance with the State Lands Commission's policies concerning the residential uses. The City has recently requested that legislation be passed that allows Docktown Marina to remain for a period of 15 years under certain conditions. The City's request was supported by the State Lands Commission at their April 5, 2016 meeting. While there is preliminary support for this legislation, it is not certain whether it will ultimately pass and be signed by the Governor.
