Statement of Case:
This is a lawsuit to determine the amount of damages due Ryan Benson, the owner, because of the condemnation or taking of a parcel of land used in connection with the construction of Highway 100 in Linn County. It is undisputed that on April 13, 2016, the Iowa State Transportation Commission acting through the Iowa Department of Transportation condemned a portion of a larger parcel of land owned by Mr. Benson. That date is referred to as the date of the “taking”.
Mr. Benson claims damages for the land taken and claims further damages, alleging that the remaining land was reduced in value. The Iowa Department of Transportation admits the owner of the parcel, Mr. Benson, is owed fair and reasonable compensation, but denies he has been damaged to the extent claimed. You are to decide the amount of damage Ryan Benson has suffered which must be computed under the rules explained in these instructions. |
