Ratification of Dismissal of Condemnation Proceeding, City of Broken Arrow v. Amy L. Williams, et al.; Wagoner County District Court Case No. CJ-2024-462
End
Background:
On November 5, 2024, the Broken Arrow City Council determined and declared, through Resolution Number 1613, the public necessity of taking, appropriating, condemning, and acquiring permanent right-of-way and temporary construction easements in and upon the following described real property in Wagoner County, Oklahoma, to wit:
PARCEL 3.0
FEE SIMPLE:
A subdivision of the Northeast Quarter (NE1/4) of the Northwest Quarter, (NW/4), Section 29, Township 18 North, Range 15 East of the Indian Meridian, Wagoner County, Oklahoma and further described as follows:
Lot 5, Block 1, Whispering Hills Estates
This was necessary for the public purpose of completing the Events Park Infrastructure project and was authorized under the authority of 11 O.S. § 22-104. However, since then, City staff has determined that this property would be best suited for economic development. In Oklahoma, condemnation is not available for economic development, as it is not a public purpose. The proceeding was set for hearing on Monday, February 3, 2025, to appoint Commissioners to appraise the value of the property to be acquired. The case needed to be dismissed to not further inconvenience the property owner.
