On Petition for Rehearing
Since the foregoing opinion was rendered, the Commonwealth has petitioned the court for a rehearing. It now contends “that appellees were never riparian owners for two reasons: (1) the road was completed and no water had even reached the road at the time of the trial; and (2) this road project is a part of the overall Barkley Dam project which took into consideration that the existing road would be covered with water in places, and provision was made to raise the road out of the water. The official designation of this project is BD 24 (Barkley Dam 24), which is being constructed by the state and is being paid for totally out of Barkley Dam funds.” These arguments are raised for the first time in the petition for rehearing. Therefore, they will not be considered. RCA 1.350(b).
The testimony appearing in the transcript of evidence, page 4 through 7, does not make this clear. There is only a reference to a map which the witnesses said indicated the area “that will be impounded when the water is brought in.”
With respect to the second contention the “road project is part of the overall Barkley Dam project,” we arc not favored with a reference to the testimony that so indicates (RCA 1.210(a) 3 (b), and we have not observed any such testimony in *218the evidence. The condemnation petition indicates that it is a typical road condemnation proceeding by the Commonwealth.
The third contention is that the special damage claimed was not pleaded, a requirement of CR 9.06. This issue also is raised for the first time in the petition for rehearing; therefore, we will not consider it. RCA 1.350(b).
Our opinion is not to be interpreted as an adjudication of the law if the contentions asserted in the petition for rehearing had been timely raised.
The judgment is affirmed and the petition for rehearing is overruled.
WILLIAMS, C. J., and MILLIKEN, OSBORNE, PALMORE and STEIN-FELD, JJ., concur.
MONTGOMERY, J., dissents.
