    Case Notes

    • Taking by the State of Florida Department of Transportation of 24.173 acres from 30.397 acre tract at one of major intersections in Hernando County.
    • The taking resulted in decreased road frontage, constricted access, loss of a signalized intersection location, reduction of frontage on one road, and reduction of property size. The taking restricted the potential of the remainder to a less intense commercial use, without outparcel potential.
    • The Department argued that the property was primarily undevelopable wetlands and had only a nominal value.
