POSHEIM, Chief Justice
(concurring in the result).
The trial court correctly concluded appellants were not “aggrieved persons.” No citizen has a claim of right to force a proposed road to run through his land. Failure to locate the highways caused no loss of land, additional tax or personal burden or obligation to appellants. The law is settled. See Application of Northern States Power Co., 328 N.W.2d 852 (S.D.1983); Barnum v. Ewing, 53 S.D. 47, 220 N.W. 135 (1928).
