阿肯色州福克纳县康威市上诉法院10月28日维持300万美元征地裁决：州公路委员会征地1.62英亩、利息按年8%复利计算
阿肯色州福克纳县康威市的一起长期征地纠纷10月28日由阿肯色州上诉法院作出裁决，维持了300万美元的陪审团裁决。案件源于阿肯色州公路委员会2015年8月为拓宽戴夫·沃德大道并增设环岛，征收了威廉·梅杰·刘易斯信托名下1.62英亩土地，征收切断了该地块的直接道路通行权。公路委员会最初存入417825美元作为其估算的公正补偿，而信托方的评估师将损失估值约389万美元，福克纳县陪审团最终裁定300万美元。初审法官苏珊·韦弗另加按年8%复利计算的利息，自2015年征收之日起算，以及约12.3万美元的律师费与诉讼费用。信托方作证称，恢复功能性通行需要新建道路与环岛，耗资400万至450万美元，并占用剩余土地约7英亩。上诉法院法官迈克·墨菲撰写的意见认为，相关成本证据与地块贬值有关，采纳无误，裁决有充分证据支持。
Conway, Faulkner County, Arkansas: Court of Appeals Upholds $3 Million Condemnation Award on Oct. 28: Highway Commission Took 1.62 Acres, Interest at 8% Compounded Annually
A long-running eminent domain dispute in Conway, Faulkner County, Arkansas, was decided by the Arkansas Court of Appeals on October 28, which upheld a $3 million jury verdict. The case arose from the Arkansas State Highway Commission's August 2015 taking of 1.62 acres owned by the William Major Lewis Trust to widen Dave Ward Drive and add a roundabout; the taking cut off the parcel's direct road access. The commission initially deposited $417,825 as its estimate of just compensation, while the trust's appraiser valued the loss at about $3.89 million, and a Faulkner County jury ultimately awarded $3 million. Trial Judge Susan Weaver added interest at 8 percent compounded annually from the 2015 taking date, plus about $123,000 in attorney's fees and costs. The trust testified that restoring functional access required building new roads and roundabouts costing $4 million to $4.5 million and using about 7 acres of the remaining land. Judge Mike Murphy's opinion for the Court of Appeals held that the cost evidence was relevant to the parcel's diminished value and properly admitted, and that the verdict was supported by substantial evidence.
