Description
This case involves a dispute concerning ownership of real property, structural improvements, and riparian rights. We must decide, inter alia, whether a deed executed in 1950 conveyed an easement to Kent County or, instead, a fee simple interest that included riparian rights and now encompasses a pier constructed some forty years ago by Gregg Neck Yacht Club, Inc. (""GNYC""), appellant. The pier, situated on the Sassafras River, is at the heart of this dispute. This litigation was spawned by Kent County's decision on October 12, 1999, to claim ownership of the pier. That action led GNYC to file suit in the Circuit Court for Kent County on October 25, 1999, against the County Commissioners of Kent County (the ""County"") and the Kent County Department of Public Works (the ""Department""), appellees. In its declaratory judgment action, amended on December 1, 1999, GNYC asked the court to determine ""the intent of the 1950 grant to the County and the property rights arising therefrom."" 1 GNYC also asked the court to declare that appellees were estopped from asserting any rights to the pier or riparian rights. Alternatively, GNYC sought a declaration of ownership by adverse possession.
