2020 Arkansas Code|Title 27 - Transportation|Subtitle 5 - Highways, Roads, And Streets|Chapter 67 - State Highway System|Subchapter 3 - Acquisition, Condemnation, and Disposition of Property|§ 27-67-316. Condemnation proceedings and judgment

 (a) It shall be the duty of the circuit court to impanel a jury of twelve (12) persons, as in other civil cases, to ascertain the amount of compensation the Arkansas Department of Transportation shall pay.  (b) The matter shall proceed and be determined as in other civil cases.  (c) In all cases of infants or persons of unsound mind, when no legal representative or guardian appears in their behalf at the hearing, it shall be the duty of the court to appoint a guardian ad litem, who shall represent their interest for all purposes.  (d) Compensation shall be ascertained and awarded in the proceeding and established by judgment therein.  (e)  (1) Judgment shall include, as a part of the just compensation awarded, interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum on the amount finally awarded as the value of the property, from the date of the surrender of possession to the date of payment, but interest shall not be allowed on so much thereof as may have been paid into court.  (2) No sum so paid into court shall be charged with commission or poundage.    (f) All courts and juries in cases of condemnation of lands for rights-of-way for state highways shall take into consideration the fact that lands are required to be assessed at fifty percent (50%) of their true value and shall also take into consideration the fact that owners of automobiles and trucks living miles off a state highway pay the same gasoline and auto license tax as those being fortunate enough to own land adjoining a state highway. Any court or jury considering claims for right-of-way damages shall deduct from the value of any land taken for a right-of-way the benefits of the state highway to the remaining lands of the owner.  (g) All suits involving the validity of subsection (f) of this section, or any portion thereof, shall be deemed matters of public interest and shall be advanced and disposed of at the earliest possible moment, and appeals in such suits must be taken and perfected within thirty (30) days from the date of the judgment or decree.

 (a) Upon the application of any party in interest and upon due notice to all parties, the court may order that the money deposited in the court, or any part thereof, be paid immediately to the person or persons entitled thereto.  (b) If the compensation finally awarded exceeds the amount of money deposited by twenty percent (20%) or more, the court shall enter judgment against the State of Arkansas and in favor of the party entitled thereto for the amount of the deficiency and shall award the party entitled to judgment its costs, expenses, and reasonable attorney's fees incurred in preparing and conducting the final hearing and adjudication, including without limitation the cost of appraisals and fees for experts.  (c) If the compensation finally awarded is less than the amount of money deposited and paid to the persons entitled thereto, the court shall enter judgment in favor of the State of Arkansas and against the proper parties for the amount of the excess.

 (a) If, after due notice, any party in interest should feel aggrieved at the amount of the estimated compensation as deposited by the Arkansas Department of Transportation into the registry of the circuit court, the party shall be entitled to a hearing, at which time evidence may be heard and received concerning the adequacy of the deposit.  (b) Thereafter, the circuit court shall, in its discretion, determine whether the present deposit is adequate, and if not, shall determine the additional amount which the department shall deposit. Such additional amount ordered deposited shall remain in the registry of the court without withdrawal until final adjudication of just compensation, but the additional deposit shall not prevent the accrual of interest on the difference in the amount of the original deposit and the compensation awarded as provided in §§ 27-67-315 and 27-67-316.  (c) This hearing and adjudication shall in no way interfere with the possession of the premises by the department.

(b) The State of Arkansas shall not be divested of any title to real property or any interest therein or any easement acquired under this subchapter by court except where the court finds that the property or any interest therein or any easement was not taken for public use.

 (a) Where the State Highway Commission petitions any county court asking for right-of-way for any state highway and where the county court fails to grant the petition and to make court order procuring right-of-way within sixty (60) days after the petition is presented, then the commission may take such steps as it deems expedient to acquire right-of-way, either by purchase, exercise of its right of eminent domain, or otherwise.  (b) In that event, one-half (½) of the cost of acquiring the right-of-way shall be deducted from the next payment due any county by reason of any appropriation out of the State Highway Fund or state revenue from gasoline as motor vehicle fuel or auto license tax to the county or county highway fund of the county.  (c) All suits involving the validity of this section or any portion of it shall be deemed matters of public interest and shall be advanced and disposed of at the earliest possible moment, and appeals in such suits must be taken and perfected within thirty (30) days from the date of the judgment or decree.

Thereafter the department may convey them to the United States on behalf of this state or of its political subdivisions. Private parties may convey necessary or convenient properties or easements for the projected parkway, together with sites in connection therewith acquired or to be acquired for recreational or naturalistic purposes.  (c) Thereafter, the areas together with the parkway right-of-way of a width sufficient to include the road and all bridges, ditches, cuts, and fills appurtenant thereto shall constitute the national parkway in this state.

2020 Arkansas Code|Title 27 - Transportation|Subtitle 5 - Highways, Roads, And Streets|Chapter 69 - Mississippi River Parkway (Great River Road)|Subchapter 1 - Establishment and Regulation|§ 27-69-106. Right-of-way

 (a) An average right-of-way of not less than one hundred (100) acres per mile in fee simple, plus scenic, landscape, sightly, or safety easement control up to a total average of fifty (50) acres per mile, shall be provided for the gross length of the parkway in this state for parkway purposes.  (b) At no point shall the width of parkway area through state or private lands be less than two hundred feet (200'), except as the Secretary may determine in particular cases.  (c) If the total acreage acquired by this state and its political subdivisions or other parties and transferred to the United States for parkway purposes is less than the above stated minimum per mile, then other public areas adjacent to or near the parkway having scenic, recreational, conservation, floodway, or historic value shall be owned, acquired, or administered satisfactorily to the Secretary or leased thereto sufficient to bring the total acreage up to the minimum.  (d) The area boundaries need not be mechanically determined or measured by a uniform distance from the center line of the parkway.  (e) The variation of the width shall be dependent upon the topographical and other natural conditions, requirements of design, easements, and time and cost of acquisition.  (f) Owing to proximity in numerous locations of vertical picturesque bluffs close to the Mississippi River at high water stages and the narrow range of location of existing railway facilities, the parkway road may be constructed over or under such precipitous cliffs and caverns and around and across river bends and through back country as will best diversify the rugged, wooded, and open pastoral scenery and water vistas, and also tend toward economical cost of land acquisitions and parkway road construction and maintenance.  (g) The state may include in its fee simple parkway right-of-way requirement such nearby areas of the Mississippi River within its boundaries, other than the navigable channel thereof at normal river stage, provided the nearest edge of such supplementary water, island, flo-way, or floodway areas shall be within five hundred feet (500') of the center line of the parkway road and shall not exceed a width of one thousand feet (1,000').

 (a) When the construction of sections of the parkway road parallel to existing highways will result in unnecessary expense and the United States Secretary of the Interior may, in his or her discretion, use existing or projected sections of streets or highways, bridges, parks, or other areas as connecting links between other sections of this parkway, and federal funds may be expended for parkway purposes thereon under the provisions of this subchapter, no parkway area credits need be allowed the state.  (b) In the event it is determined that the connecting links of highways should provide for other than passenger car traffic, a cooperative agreement with respect to use and the reconstruction, maintenance, and control thereof may be entered into by the United States Secretary of the Interior with the Arkansas Department of Transportation or local public authorities concerned.
