The City of Charlotte approved the condemnation to acquire a 3,006 sq ft sanitary sewer easement across parcels 9825 and 9833 Old Dowd Road, owned by Binh Doan and Tri Van Doan. The approval authorizes negotiations and, if necessary, legal determination of just compensation. The city continues to negotiate with the owners, offering them the right to a private appraisal or supporting documentation to justify a counteroffer. The appraised value of the easement was $4,375. The transaction impacts no structures, improvements, or landscaping. The properties remain zoned MHP for residential use. The easement secures vital infrastructure for sanitary sewer servicing future development. The approval includes condemnation authority but preserves negotiation and mediation. Council unanimously approved the consent action on April 14, 2025.
