Councilors voted Jan. 4 to allow the city manager and city attorney to work with the Attorney General’s Office to create a conservation easement on land the city acquired from Nordic Aquafarms that was previously owned by Janet and Richard Eckrote. The easement would include intertidal land in front of that property where Nordic wants to lay its intake and outflow pipes for its land-based fish farm. That intertidal parcel is also the subject of a quiet title claim in Waldo Superior Court where neighboring property owners Jeffrey Mabee and Judith Grace claimed historic deeds proved they owned the land.
