Description
Riparian planting ground assignment eligibility. Authorizes the Commissioner of the Marine Resources Commission to assign to a land owner who is eligible to apply for riparian planting grounds only a planting ground that the Commissioner, in his discretion, deems appropriate to encompass as much as one-half acre of ground. The bill authorizes the Commissioner to consider assigning an area that the owner designates within his riparian waters and provides that the assignment shall not extend farther than the nearest edge of the channel or the middle of the body of water, whichever is the shorter distance. The bill removes a provision stating that the fee for such assignment shall be $1.50. Read the Bill »

Comments
This bill is another band-aid on a section of the CoV which does little. Why should people with less than 105 feet of shoreline be prevented from obtaining a riparian lease? This also does not protect a shoreline property owner's full shoreline from encroachment by unknown commercial least holders.
