Description
This is a condemnation suit wherein the State Highway Commission (SHC) acquired right-of-way easements for construction of
a portion of Interstate Highway I-435, a circumferential highway around Kansas City. Commissioners who were appointed awarded
$850,000 to Southern Development Company (Development) and $5,000 to Kansas City Southern Railway Company (KCS). Following
trial in which the jury awarded them damages of $166,000 and $9,000, respectively, defendants have appealed. Since defendants'
evidence supported damages in the amounts of $916,650 and $10,855, respectively, and this appeal was taken prior to January
1, 1972, we have jurisdiction on the basis of the amount involved. We reverse and remand. In this suit SHC undertook to condemn right-of-way easements for approximately two miles of the route for I-435. The petition
sought 82 acres of the 1481 acres then owned by Development and 1.67 acres of the 19.31 acres owned by KCS. Location of the
lands owned by these defendants at the time of the taking, including the right-of-way condemned for I-435, was shown on Defendants'
Exhibit 2, as follows:
