In a rare move Thursday, the Peachtree City Council had to condemn small portions of two tracts of land so they could proceed with a stormwater upgrade project in the Wynnmeade subdivision.
There were repeated attempts to contact property owners to no avail, according to City Attorney Ted Meeker.
The tiny spots of land were needed for both temporary and permanent easements to allow for stormwater improvements to prevent property damage downstream.
