NONCONTIGUOUS TRACTS, TREATMENT AS UNIT.

117.086 NONCONTIGUOUS TRACTS, TREATMENT AS UNIT. § Subdivision 1.Certain land considered as a unit. In all eminent domain proceedings brought under this chapter noncontiguous tracts of land may be considered as a unit for the purpose of the assessment of the damages for a taking from only one of such tracts, provided that the use to which the tracts are applied is so connected, that the taking from one in fact damages the other. § Subd. 2.Notice of appeal. In the event that an appeal is taken, a party claiming a unity in noncontiguous tracts shall give notice thereof in the notice of appeal as provided in section 117.145. § Subd. 3.Determination of taking, damage. The petitioner, after receiving notice that the landowner claims a unity in noncontiguous tracts, may upon ten days' written notice to the landowner, move the court for its order determining whether, as a matter of law, the landowner has suffered a taking of, or damage to, noncontiguous tracts by reason of the eminent domain proceedings brought under this chapter.
