DOMENGEAUX, Judge
(concurring).
Under the pronouncements of our Supreme Court in State, Through Department of Highways v. Hoyt, 284 So.2d 763 (La.1973), the only applicable appraisal technique in this taking was the “front land — ■ rear land” method. By depositing an amount based upon the “average unit value”, the Department, in choosing not to follow Hoyt, thereby subjected itself to attorney’s fees under the recently enacted LSA-R.S. 48:453(E).
For these additional reasons I concur.
