Summit County attempting to seize private parcel by eminent domain
“Attorneys participated in a status conference Monday, Jan. 13, in Summit County District Court to provide an update about a land dispute between Summit County government and a local property owner.
The case, which is being argued before 5th Judicial Court Judge Karen Romeo, was launched by Summit County in an attempt to seize by eminent domain a 10.3-acre parcel known as the “Hunter Mine” from its owner, Andy Barrie.
Barrie, originally from Lake Forest, Ill. — a northern suburb of Chicago — purchased in December 2011 the Hunter Mine parcel, which is located in unincorporated Summit County south of Breckenridge. He and his wife, Ceil, purchased the property and an adjacent home with the intention of expanding their family business to Colorado and moving to the area full time.”
