Daggett County RDA says court filing expected this week in Dutch John eminent domain matter
Summary
Redevelopment Agency counsel told the Daggett County Commission the agency expects to ask the court this week for immediate occupancy in a Dutch John property condemnation; a hearing will be set if an objection is filed.
The Daggett County Redevelopment Agency told the County Commission on March 20 that it expects to move this week to request immediate occupancy in an eminent domain action affecting property in Dutch John.
Agency counsel said they are waiting for a period during which the property owner, referenced as Thompson in the discussion, could file an objection. If an objection is filed the agency will ask the court for an immediate-occupancy order and the judge would set a hearing to allow the property owner to argue against granting it. Counsel said the agency sees no basis for denying immediate occupancy but must give the statutory opportunity for a hearing.
Commissioners asked about timing and whether the request simply takes effect or must be calendared; counsel clarified the request would be set for a hearing if opposition is filed. One member said he expected counsel to follow up when he confirms recent communications with a law clerk and will report back to the commission.
No formal action or vote was taken during the update; the remarks were informational and procedural in nature.
