- Title 82
When the board of directors of a conservancy district determines
that a lesser estate is needed for flood control purposes than fee
simple absolute, the board shall have the right to condemn for
easement purposes an easement as may be required.
In such cases, the measure of damages payable to a landowner
shall be the difference in the fair market value of the entire tract
with the easement and the fair market value of the entire tract
without the easement. Commissioners or jurors shall take into
consideration in assessing damages for permanent inundation or for
flowage easements for intermittent inundation of land, the estimated
or anticipated frequency of inundation, the value of the remnant of
the estate for landowner's agricultural or other economic use, and
such other relevant factors as may be ascertained or anticipated by
reasonable evaluation.
