Title 32, Chapter 3, Section 37
( 32-3-37)
(a) When areas of land or interests in land have been tentatively
designated by the United States government to be included within
federal parkways but the final survey and plans necessary for the
construction of federal parkways as provided by law have not yet
been made, no person shall cut or remove any timber from such areas
as so designated pending the completion and finalization of such
survey and plans after receiving notice from the department that
such area is under investigation. Any property owner who suffers
loss or damage by reason of the restraint upon his right to use the
timber upon his land pending such investigation and the finalization
of survey and plans for the construction of federal parkways shall
be entitled to recover compensation from the department for the
temporary appropriation of his property and for any damage to his
property caused by such temporary appropriation, in the event the
same is not finally included within the area designated as a federal
parkway. (b) The provisions of this Code section may be enforced under the
same law now applicable for the adjustment and payment of
compensation in the acquisition of rights of way for present or
future public road or other transportation purposes. |
