The Murrieta City Council moved to approve the acquisition of four pieces of property along Murrieta Hot Springs Road separately as resolutions of necessity, a precursor to the use of eminent domain, to move ahead with the planned widening of the congested main road during its Feb. 7 meeting.The resolution of necessity on one of the four properties was objected to by its owner during a public hearing on the matter, while purchase of another may have already been approved, but still was included in the decision. The four properties, three on the north side of Murrieta Hot Springs Road and the other on the south side, have to be acquired for the project before it can be completed. Eleven other pieces of property, not large in size, were already purchased by the city to widen the roadway
