Bay defenders ask Superior Court to hold trial on City of Belfast's attempted intertidal land seizure. Read filings.

On September 8, 2021, attorneys representing two coastal landowners and conservation group Upstream Watch filed motions with Waldo County Superior Court Justice Robert Murray. Links to filings below

They requested he (1) amend their complaint and (2)  hold a "trial of the facts" on the City of Belfast's vote to condemn the Plaintiff's portion of the intertidal delta at the mouth of the Little River.

"Plaintiffs are entitled to a trial of the facts" according to the motion by  Attorneys Kim Ervin Tucker, Dave Perkins  and Dave Silk.  "[I]t is clear the Plaintiffs' 80-B appeal from the city's August 12, 2021 condemnation vote is not as a matter of law limited to the self-serving record the government creates."

 [It was observed that, remarkably, Belfast's condemnation attempt includes tideland in the neighboring town of Northport.
