Questão jurídica principal
Whether a building prohibition arising from road and building lines caused compensable material expropriation
Decisão extraída
Compensation was denied because the claimant did not prove a sufficiently concrete intended building use that was prevented by the restriction.
Fundamentação extraída
Unlike a full rezoning, a partial building prohibition on a large parcel normally leaves the land's building value largely intact. Compensation requires proof that the owner intended to build or sell for building purposes and that this was actually hindered by the restriction.
