Discussion: Section 13 of Article I of the Minnesota Constitution pro- vides that private property shall not be taken, destroyed, or damaged for public use without ",lust compensation ", therefor, first paid or secured. Section 4 of Article 10 provides that land may be taken for a public way, for the purpose of granting to a corporation the franchise of way for public use, if a "fair and equitable compensation" shall be paid for the land and the "damages" arising from the taking. Thus it has been said that to compute "just compensation ", the highest and best use may be shown. On this point, Palmer says: "...The rule is well established that market value of property taken is not limited to the value of the property for the purposes for which it is being or actually been used. The value may be based upon the highest and best use; and so the value should not be limited because the owner was too ignorant or too uninterested to take advantage of the full possibilities of his property." Palmer, Condemnation Law(1961) §77. That our exact question has not escaped the attention of the treatise writers is clear in 1 Orgel, Valuation Under Eminent Domain §34 where it is said: "The courts have had little difficulty in reaching what seems to us to be a proper result in cases in- volving zoning ordinances. It is generally held that although an ordinance may prohibit the use of the property for certain purposes at the time of condem- nation, yet if there is a reasonable probability that the ordinance may be changed or an exception made, the Value for that purpose as affected by the existing or- dinance may be— considered." The above section of 1 Oregel cites Long Beach City High School District of Los Angeles v. Stewart, 30 Cal 2d 763, 185 Pac 2d 585, 173 ALR 249(1947),where the plaintiff while taking the defendant's property for a school was successful in limiting the defendant's wit- nesses to testimony based upon probable uses of his property within existing zoning laws. Defendant had acquired the property in 1905 R and later built a dwelling house, barn, storeroom and shed. Still later he built a garage and small repair shop. On three sides of defendant's tract the development since 1905 was residential. On the fourth side was located a Union Pacific Railroad right -of -way. There had been no industrial development except stores and beer parlors. in 1941, this property was zoned into a single family residence dis- trict. Thereafter the defendant's shop was operated under a "non- conforming use permit ". Defendant - appellant contends: 11(1) the jury was erroneously instructed to limit this consideration of value to the use to which the property might be put under existing zoning ordinances; (2) the testimony of appellant's expert witness was erroneously limited to statements as to value of the land for residential purposes; and (3) the court erred in refusing to permit appellant to testify as to the reasons for his opinion as to value." The court affirmed the decision of the lower court and said; "...the general rule is that present market value must ordinarily be determined by consideration only of the uses for which the land 'is adapted and for which it is available.' The exception to this general rule is that if the land is not presently available for a particular use by reason of a zoning ordinance or other restrnction imposed by law, but the evidence tends to show a 'reasonable probability' of a change 'in the near future' in the zoning ordinance or other restriction, then the effect of such probability upon the minds of pur- chasers generally may be taken into consideration in fixing present market value." 173 ALR at 254. (1930). Accord, Beverly Hills v. Anger, 110 Cal.App. 626,294 P 476 However, if the possible change in a zoning ordinance re- stricting the use of the property condemned is purely speculative such possibility is,not to be considered. See Long Beach ... v. Stewart, supra. The Minnesota Court has had occasion to consider this question. In Duluth and W.R.Co. y. West,51 Minn 163, 53 NW 197(1892), a railroad company's proceeding to condemn land for a right -of -way, it was held that the owner in question was entitled to introduce in evidence a statute extending the limits of Duluth so as to take in the land, even though the statute was not to take effect for three years. By far the most important decision in Minnesota on this ques- tion is State v. Pahl, 254 Minn 349, 95 NW 2d 85(1959) where in con- sidering this question, the Court said: "Existing valid zoning ordinances may prescribe or limit those uses which may be considered in proving market value. Evidence of value for uses prohibited by an ordinance may be introduced and considered only where there is evidence showing a reasonable probability that the ordinance will be changed in the near future." 95 NW 2d at 90. See also State v. Casey, 263 Minn 47, 115 NW 2d 749(1962) where the condemnee based the damages to his gravel pit upon the delayed (7 years) use as commercial building sites. The Court said: "...The measure of compensation in Eminent Domain, 17 Minn L. Rev. 461: '...evidence of the different advantageous uses to which the property is adopted in its present conditions is admissible, and likewise any use to which the property might be put in the future ought to be considered, if such use is sufficiently practicable and probable as to be likely to influence the price which a present purchaser would give for it.' 11 115 NW 2d at 754. In a case note of the Stewart case, supra, the student editor at 46 Mich L. Rev. 988 argues that the trial fudge, not the jury, should decide as a preliminary question of fact whether the evidence indicates a reasonable probability of change of the zoning ordinance. Then if such probability exists, evidence of .value for restricted uses could be presented for consideration of the fury. Conclusion: Evidence of likely changes in the zoning or- ainances which are not purely speculative is admissable to show the highest and best use to which a condemned property can be put. 9
