The Office of Corporation Counsel has asked the County Council to consider acquiring the last unit in the Montana Beach condominium through eminent domain and condemnation. The county is locked in court with Asghar Sadri, who claims in a federal civil rights lawsuit that he is suffering a loss of up to $20 million in being blocked from using his property. That does not mean he thinks his beachfront lot is, by itself, worth $20 million. He is claiming damages from being unable to use his property for the past six years.
