Wind Point drops eminent domain claim against condo corp.; developer interested
“The village is no longer trying to acquire a small strip of a condominium association’s land through eminent domain after acquiring land from SC Johnson. Meanwhile, a developer is interested in the land by the strip, although no final plans have been released.
Ray Leffler, owner of Mount Pleasant-based Newport Development Corp., had proposed building 10 to 16 “twindominium” units at 4403 N. Main St. in late 2015, but Wind Meadows Corp. — believing it was the sole owner of the strip at the time — declined to sell the strip.
Leffler told The Journal Times that with the strip being opened up on the north side of the property “that would be more than enough” to enable driveway access to Deepwood Drive for a new potential development. However, he said, it could prove to be an issue if Wind Meadows is unwilling to grant an easement to allow work to have storm water drains run beneath the condo corporation’s part of the strip.”
