recover' . <br /> Commissioner Adams spoke about the canal on 95 "' being County owned and how the <br /> 52 "� Court right - of- way goes to the canal . She decreed the canal is a filthy , mucky mess , and <br /> pointed out that whatever is going into the river now cannot be good . She liked the idea of <br /> the sewers , but asked if there is anv way the County can require some kind of cleanliness in <br /> the canal that we do not have now . <br /> Deputy County Attorney Will Collins could not speak to the cleanliness of the canal , <br /> but did explain that the River Boat Club lots are entirely north of the right - of- way of 95 " <br /> Street . The canal is actually partially within the width of the right - of- way , that is why the <br /> County has some riparian rights there . In this case , the property lines of these lots extend <br /> beyond the road and into the canal , which was not the case in the River Boat Club , although <br /> on the north side of River Boat there is another canal and he thought some of those lot lines <br /> extend into the northern canal and some people have their docks on the north side and some <br /> have them on the 95 ' Street right- of- way . <br /> Commissioner Macht understood riparian rights were similar to an easement , and <br /> Attorney Collins responded that if you own property up to navigable water, then you have <br /> the right to use it for warfing , viewing , swimming , or whatever you want to do . In the case <br /> of 95 `h Street, the public , by the dedication of the road , actually owns the property adjacent <br /> to the water . We have licensed the River Boat Club to build some docks there in our public <br /> right- of- way . Riparian rights are a property right, but are appurtenant to the property ; they <br /> cannot be sold to someone else , they stay with the property that abuts the water . <br /> Vice Chairman Stanbridge was concerned about the muck in the canal and that <br /> approval of this request would set a precedent . She would hate to see a proliferation of stilt <br /> houses everywhere Mr . Mosby can find good soils . <br /> Director Keating believed it would not set a precedent . He also explained that the <br /> January 9 , 2001 <br /> 31 <br /> B , i 16 71 <br />
