Description
Appellant-State Highway Commission here appeals from an award of damages to appellee-Pelletier. Involved are two tracts of land referred to by the parties as Tracts 2 and 3. Prior to this condemnation proceeding, Tract 2 was a triangular piece lying south of U.S. Highway 66, containing .283 acres. Tract 2 was totally taken in this proceeding and an award of $2,932.00 made therefor. Tract 3 lay north of the old U.S. Highway 66, and had direct access to both lanes of travel. In this proceeding, .477 acre was taken out of a total of 9.354 acres, leaving 8.877 acres. In addition, direct access to the through highway was cut off. However, the old highway was continued generally in the same position as it was before construction of the four-lane divided highway, and appellee could use it to go either east or west just as he had been able to do before this proceeding was started. Also, access was available to the express lanes via an interchange located some 1700 feet west of appellee's property. The court found that the value of Tract 3 had been reduced by $425.00 because of the taking.
