Canandaigua lakefront eminent domain decision expected in December

“A decision in a case to determine whether Dan Homik — a former Lakeshore Drive property owner — received just compensation following the city of Canandaigua’s 2009 decision to use eminent domain to acquire his land will be made by mid-December, Ontario County Judge William Kocher said in a phone message.

Both parties, the city and Homik, handed in proposed findings — closing arguments from the trial earlier this year — Oct. 16, Kocher said. They were given until Oct. 1 — a date that was already pushed back several times — but the two parties were then granted two additional weeks, Kocher added.

According to Kocher, he is under a 60-day rule — beginning at Oct. 16 — to make a ruling on the case. That puts the maximum date for a ruling around Sunday, Dec. 15.”
