Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by The landowners appeal jury condemnation awards, claiming that
the court erred by admitting evidence of petroleum contamination
and, in the alternative, by not instructing the jury on their
estoppel theory. The landowners also contend that the court
erroneously excluded evidence and that the jury failed to follow
the court's instructions. Finding no reversible error, we affirm. On March 28, 1990, the City of Olathe filed a petition for
eminent domain, seeking to condemn eight tracts of land to enable
expansion of the 119th Street and I-35 interchange project. The
City was dissatisfied with the awards on tract 5, owned by Marvin
and Peggy Stott and David and Eileene Hendrix, and tract 6, owned
by Arthur and Dejah Seute. The appraisers' awards from which the
City appealed were $341,000 for tract 5 and $1,180,000 for tract
6. On June 29, 1990, the City paid an amount equal to the
original awards to the clerk of the court and appealed from those
awards to the district court. The date of taking for purposes of
property valuation was June 29, 1990.
