Ohio Atty General to Appeal Court Decision on Lake Erie waterfront land ownership
Ohio Attorney General to appeal court decision on Lake Erie waterfront land rights.
The state modified land boundaries based on the waterline. Whether waterline was set high, or low, changed your lotsize. There used to be some implied access priviledge, granting access to public water. (Fisher persons could be within 15(?) feet of waterline) Marina operators and boat house owners were also advised to seek submerged land leases for land they already occupied. They sued to get their "land" back.
