MIAMI, July 13 (UPI) -- Auto dealer Norman Braman says he will drop his lawsuit that is stalling plans for a new Florida Marlins stadium if the public is allowed to vote on the plan.
The billionaire businessman would allow the $3 billion so-called ''megaplan" to move forward if the general public is allowed to weigh in, The Miami Herald reported Sunday.
''There will be no settlement without giving people the right to vote,'' Braman said Saturday. "If they will allow people to vote on this, I will drop my litigation first thing.''
Braman sued in an attempt to head off a new Marlins stadium and other construction projects in the Miami neighborhood of Little Havana.
His previous legal attempts to derail the construction plan have failed, but officials have recognized his wealth would allow him to continue his opposition indefinitely.
The Herald said Braman has remained steadfast to his demands for a public vote, denying reports he was settling the suit before it goes to trial Monday.
"We'll be in court Monday morning," Braman said. "There are no settlement talks going on.''
