frank whitney who's fighting to keep his store in the village. >> they're making demands on us as to what we have to do in order to repair and our contention is they're holding us to a completely different standard than everyone else. we're suspicious that what's really going on is that they want this property, it's considered a very critical property to be owned by the villa village. the village actually owns most of the property downtown, this is a privately owned property. it's the only building in the entire village that was stopped from repairing. >> reporter: imminent domain is the power through which government is seize property for government use. >> this building was damaged by the storm t floodwaters came through this village, we had four feet of salt water throughout the center of our village. the best option for us that this gets repaired by the whitneys in a compliant manner.
