Many of you are sure to be quite happy to hear of this settlement.<\/p>\n<p>The city of Newport Beach and boat builder Dennis Holland have agreed to settle their long-running dispute over the 72-foot ketch <em>Shawnee<\/em> in a way that will allow Holland to complete his restoration of the historic craft.<\/p>\n<p>The boat has been under restoration since 2006 at Holland\u2019s home on Holiday Road just off Irvine Avenue.  The city passed an ordinance in 2010 and then filed a lawsuit this year to get Holland to remove the boat. The suit was set to go to trial on Monday in Orange County Superior Court.  <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>According to the terms of the agreement, obtained by the Independent, the boat will be disassembled by Holland and stored in a way that does not violate the city\u2019s municipal code.<\/p>\n<p>Holland says that the disassembled boat will remain on his property and be moved to his backyard in a way that will not be seen by neighbors or violate the city\u2019s ordinance restricting projects like his. The boat currently is in a large side yard adjacent to Holiday Road and can be seen easily from the street.<\/p>\n<p>Holland, who spoke to the <em>Independent<\/em> late Friday, said he was \u201creally relieved and kind of mind-boggled\u201d about the sudden agreement that he believes will now allow him to finish the boat\u2019s restoration while giving the city what it wants.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe city wants the boat moved, and that\u2019s what we\u2019re going to do \u2013 move the boat,\u201d Holland stated.<\/p>\n<p>Holland and his attorneys, Richard Higbey and Jim Miller of Newport Beach, were able to come to the agreement with the city Friday afternoon.  Under the agreement, Holland also will drop a counter-suit he had filed against the city.<\/p>\n<p>Courtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newportbeachindy.com\/2012\/04\/27\/shawnee-saved\/\">www.newportbeachindy.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our readers had passionate, although mixed opinions on whether or not Dennis Holland should have to remove his boat restoration project from his yard.
