The Charlotte City Council approved the condemnation of Parcel #2 at 2816 Flintridge Drive, owned by A L Cedeno Properties and Development, LLC, to acquire easements for a storm drainage project. The total parcel area is 11,591 square feet (0.266 acres). The city will acquire a 3,523 square foot storm drainage easement and a 1,343 square foot temporary construction easement. The property is currently zoned N1-B (Neighborhood 1-B) and is appraised at $41,000. The decision to proceed with condemnation was made because the city was unable to reach a voluntary agreement with the property owner, though negotiations are expected to continue during the condemnation process, with mediation available if needed to determine just compensation.
