Akko evacuating residents in favor of esplanade
Rare court ruling allows northern city's municipality to demolish apartment building as part of expropriation, in order to expand road leading to seashore and upgrade walkway

The Haifa District Court has given the Akko Municipality permission to demolish an apartment building s part of land expropriation.
Last week, Judge Arieh Razi accepted a claim filed by the northern city's Planning and Construction Committee that a residential building on the seashore must be expropriated for the sake of paving a central transportation route and developing the esplanade for the public.
The committee was represented by Attorney Moshe Frezenchevsky of the Rachel Ben-Ari - Adam Fish & Co. law firm.
The local committee proved to the court that it had sent written notices to the proxies of the building's five apartment owners and to a protected tenant living in one of the flats and had announced the expropriation in 2002.
According to the committee's representatives, they had negotiated with the apartment owners and had offered the protected tenant alternative accommodation which was not to her satisfaction.
The court eventually ruled that the protected tenant would receive compensation equal to key money of NIS 430,000 (about $106,650) in accordance with an assessor's opinion.
