http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#EminentDomainAdvisoryObligationandLimits
Applied to

Greatest Good Balancing Principle in Public Infrastructure Decisions
Historic and Cultural Resource Impact Consideration in Infrastructure Engineering
Concrete expression
Engineer A must inform the state of the legal availability of condemnation proceedings as a tool for acquiring the historic farmhouse property, while also presenting alternative solutions that might avoid condemnation — not recommending condemnation as the first resort when creative alternatives exist
Confidence

Importance
high
Interpretation
The eminent domain advisory obligation requires Engineer A to present condemnation as one option among alternatives, with the creative alternatives — such as farmhouse relocation — presented as potentially preferable approaches to amicable resolution
Invoked by
Engineer A Route Selection Design Engineer
Tension resolution
Condemnation is presented as the default under the greatest-good standard but not as the first resort — Engineer A must present creative alternatives before recommending condemnation
Source Evidence
