The City of Charlotte approved the condemnation of easements on a 0.852-acre property at 3629 McKee Road to facilitate the Kuykendall Road Improvements project. This action was necessary as the city could not reach an agreement with the numerous heirs of the property owner, F. O. Hartis, and faced outstanding title issues. The condemnation provides the city with a 1,457-square-foot sidewalk utility easement, a 950-square-foot storm drainage easement, and a 757-square-foot temporary construction easement. The total appraised value for the acquisition is $10,000. The project is part of the city's Neighborhood Reinvestment Program and is located in Council District 7.
