Colorado Eminent Domain Case Settled, Property Owners Lose Land

ADVERTISEMENT

The Colorado eminent domain case in Breckenridge is now over, and left Ceil and Andy Barrie feeling that fighting the government is a futile endeavor. A controversial property rights case ended in the Barrie’s agreeing to sell their secluded backcountry land for just $115,000.

The Barrie eminent domain case involved a 10-acre parcel of private land surrounded by the White River National Forest. A rustic of cabin, an outhouse, and a non-functioning and shuttered 1800s era gold mine were situated on the land the local government wanted to seize for “open space.”
The government became heavily involved in the daily lives of the Colorado couple once officials discovered they had been using a utility vehicle which came with the property, to reach their land. Andy and Ceil Barrie used a road Summit County did not even realize existed to travel via the ATV.
After Summit County officials asked to purchase the land and had their request refused by the owners, proceedings to condemn the property and to seize it for eminent domain began. “People in this community are very intent on preserving the back country,” Summit County Attorney Jeff Huntley said. Those opposed to the apparent rash of eminent domain seizures going on in America tend to believe that an entity’s desire to preserve may be worthy, but ends sharply at private property boundaries. Huntley also added that the county only seized the property because the Barrie’s refused to stop using the ATV.
The Barrie’s contended throughout the legal battle that they have a legal right of way to the property, and can therefore use the non-muscled powered mode of transportation to reach the cabin, just as the previous owners had. Summit County and US Forest Service officials deny that assertion.
Legal precedent was not on the side of the Colorado couple. The state supreme court ruled that a similar open space seizure of private property near Telluride was constitutional in 2005. Yesterday Ceil and Andy Barrie accepted a $115,000 offer from Summit County to purchase the property. According to Ceil, the voluntary settlement amount, entered into after court-ordered mediation, only covers the legal expenses involved with fighting the eminent domain seizure and some small land value.

Ceil Barrie had this to say about the eminent domain settlement:

“The cabin was condemned on the grounds of plumbing and electricity, when it doesn’t even have plumbing or electricity. All those things added up in my mind. This is ridiculous, we can never win and our money is not unlimited. I have two kids in college this year. To me, what just came out of it is, you can’t fight the government.”

A statement released by Summit County officials noted that the settlement will “halt various commercial activities” on the Barrie land. Andy raked up fallen pine cones for a Christmas wreath business and used a cart to transport them back to his home in a subdivision below the property to assemble for sale. If condemning a home because it does not have plumbing and electricity is legal, off the grid homes and hunting cabins across the county may now be at risk.

We have a President that has toured the world on our paychecks, bowed to most of our enemies, showed Rudeness to our allies, said sorry to many times, then Mexico comes for dinner on our dime Again ! Obama you are a disgrace ! Mexico has sent its people by the 100,000's yearly to Invade our nation, their military routinely crosses our southern boarders, (why ?) And you and this dictator of Mexico have the Gall the arrogance to demand Arizona stop Obeying the Federal Laws ? To protect their citizens from this harmful invasion mostly by criminals and terrorists, communists and the like (proven) So I say IMPEACH for Aiding the enemies of our Free Nation, Refusing to close our boarders to criminals, just amazing. Are you in league with them, do you Adhere to their thinking ie. Islamist s, since you do that is grounds for Treason ! look it up in dictionary. easy.

Wake Up America and See the danger we are in, Leadership in DC Aides and abets, adheres to the beliefs of Anti Freedom, Anti America groups, terrorists , communist, moaists, socialists, It would seem that the current President and his Unelected Above the law (who create the laws) Czars some of whom actually have physically attracted or have close relations to Terrorists who have blown up buildings in America killing American's.
Fact Obama surrounds himself with Anti American, Anti Christian, Anti Freedoms thugs.
Fact Obama Promised to Fundamentally Change America
Fact Obama is along way down the road to erasing the Constitution, bill of rights and your freedom.
Fact Obama is now using Churches, to push his beliefs of Progressiveness, this is against the so called separation of church and state, actually that is why it was in the Constitution was to prevent the government from controlling and using churches to mandate, push brainwash the agenda of the State!

Fact Obama has committed repeatedly Treason, Impeachable offenses and nothing,
His Czars now do the same (as they have in the past) With Immunity from the laws and protected by Obama.
Obama itself seems Immune from the Laws and rules of America put in place by our Founding Fathers to protect the People from tyrants, dictators. like Obama

They are creating the future slaves of America, they are destroying your freedoms, your economy on purpose they are using foreign governments and groups to do this, they are accepting campaign monies from foreign government, all against the laws, and you do nothing.

If you do not stand up and fight against the coming and current tyranny of these Evil DC Elites, then you have earned your future slavery and that of your children, the brain washing as Hitler,Mao,Castro,Stalin, Lenin, others did to their populations children to turn them against their parents and nations, to be used as pawns in their wars of exterminations.

Wake up of do not cry when this is finished .

God Bless the Republic of America ! As it was founded.

And may the enemies of this promised land be cursed for their desires to destroy our freedoms.
