Posted on July 2, 2008 by Dale Zeitlin

Both the Toll Brothers condemnation case and another case handled by Dale Zeitlin, City of Scottsdale v. Hualapai L.L.C., which involves the land on which the City of Scottsdale has built a water treatment plant near Pima Road and Hualapai Drive, continue to impact land acquisition decisions by the City of Scottsdale.

Budgeting constraints may limit the ability of a municipality to accomplish its long term goals in a direct manner, but federal and state Constitutional protections mandate that municipal goals not be achieved at the expense of individual property rights and Constitutional procedures

The Hualapai case was headed to a jury to decide the property's fair market value, and deteremine how much money Scottsdale would owe Hualapai.

Has the case been before a jury yet? Or when will the case be heard by a jury?

Thank.
