Council will ‘commence and prosecute’ eminent domain for Sycamore North project
“The city council will start eminent domain proceedings at a special meeting on Tuesday, August 20, to secure easements necessary to complete construction of the Sycamore North project. The easements are under the control of the Bayside Homeowners Association, whose board has reportedly refused to negotiate with the city.
Homeowners closest to the property boundary have been rather outspoken in support of completing the project as designed. The HOA board has steadfastly insisted on significant design changes as a condition of granted easements, including removal of the top two stories.”
