There was an excellent proposal by Glenn Fulk, a NY architect to use the existing Sheriff’s office.

His design would have created a state of the art – next generation library and park.

For over a decade property owners in the path of the Northern Beltway have had a black mark on their real estate title.

The NC DOT designated their properties in the beltway corridor.

As a result they can’t sell their properties. This has also occurred in Raleigh/Triangle area too.

Kirk was part of the one firm stood up and fought for these property owners.

Kirk Sanders was part of a small law firm that fought that this designation on the DOT is a ‘taking’ per the condemnation statute. In addition, they have litigated that this should be a class action matter. The class action certification was fought all the way to the N.C. Supreme Court in late August of 2013. http://www.wral.com/homeowners-in-dot-s-path-seek-legal-relief/12837256/

If you are a property owner in the Northern Beltway or affected in the Triangle/Raleigh area, call Kirk Sanders. He and his old firm told the DOT that if you are going to take a person’s property, you better pay for it.

Call 336-768-1515 to speak with Kirk about a condemnation case affecting you or your business.
