Yellow,
If I am not mistaken, in order for emminant (sp?) domain to be used, the city has to show how it will improve the area to benefit the community at-large. It is also my understanding, and I may be wrong, that it cannot be used for private purposes. So, if the city is trying to take it by ED, and then turns the property over to a private develop developer, I BELIEVE that falls outside the constraints of the statute. Best wishes and don't give up!
