Description

The dispute in these consolidated appeals involves (1) valuation of property taken in eminent domain for a highway interchange project, and (2) litigation costs. Plaintiff City of Ripon (City) valued the property at $190,000, with light industrial use being the "highest and best use" of the property. The property owners, defendants Marshall C. Sweetin and Billie A. Sweetin, asserted the value was $356,000, based on "highway commercial" use being the "highest and best" use to which the property was reasonably adaptable. Over the Citys objection, the trial court allowed defendants to introduce evidence before the jury of the Citys allegedly unreasonable precondemnation conduct to support the defense theory that but for the project, defendants property would have access to public utility services which would have made highway commercial use of the property economically feasible. The jury returned a verdict adopting the defense valuation of $356,000. Judgment was entered, and the trial court awarded litigation costs to defendants under Code of Civil Procedure section 1250.410.
