Description

Appellants commenced an inverse condemnation action against respondents, the City of Minneapolis and its development agency, the Minneapolis Community Development Agency (hereinafter referred to collectively as "the City"), seeking compensation for the diminishment in rents and value of their properties caused by a "cloud of condemnation" over their properties for many years while respondents pursued redevelopment of the property and later defended litigation brought by the developer. Following trial with an advisory jury, the district court concluded that respondents conduct constituted a compensable taking of appellants properties and awarded appellants damages. The court of appeals reversed, finding no compensable taking under the United States Constitution because respondents did not exercise "significant control" over the appellants properties during the period for which compensation was sought. We conclude that the district courts extensive findings are not clearly erroneous and that the unique facts of this case require compensation under the Minnesota Constitution. We reverse.
