Heights levies power of eminent domain
“The city once again is levying its power of eminent domain to condemn a 150-foot-wide wastewater easement and a 30-foot-wide temporary construction easement on, through and under a 0.596-acre tract of land conveyed to Alvin Reece “Butch” Sutton Jr., independent executor of Christine Sutton’s estate.
The city is in the process of extending its wastewater system on Farm-to-Market 2410 and needs that property for the extension, since the city deemed it the “most logical adjacent location for the facilities,” said Mark Hyde, public works director.
Approximately 1,726 linear feet of 18-inch diameter gravity sanitary sewer line will cross the Sutton property with five standard 4-foot diameter manholes.”
