Description
In February 1967 the defendants were the owners of a parcel of farmlands consisting of some 462 acres which defendants utilized as a unit in carrying on a dairying and livestock-feeding operation. At that time the commission adopted a resolution whereby certain generally described lands, including certain lands of the defendants, were to be acquired for use as rights-of-way for the construction and completion of a segment of Interstate Highway 80 commencing at a point some 9 miles east of Lyman, Wyoming, and running west some 14 miles to a point of connection with that part of I-80 already constructed. For purposes here it was stipulated, in substance, that from February 1967 the commission was committed to construct the highway where it is now constructed and within the then established boundary lines of the rights-of-way. The plans for the project provided for construction of the highway across the approximate center of defendants parcel and also provided for the construction of a traffic interchange at a point on defendants lands some 4 miles north of Lyman, Wyoming, where I-80 which ran east and west was to intersect with the existing Urie-Carter Highway running north and south. To meet its requirements the commission proposed to take approximately 70 acres of defendants lands, and it was undisputed that such taking would also inflict damage upon the remaining 392 acres of defendants lands. The parties were unable to agree upon the compensation to be paid defendants as a result of the taking and on May 17, 1967, the commission filed its complaint for condemnation. On June 2, 1967, the commission also obtained an order of the court authorizing it to enter upon and take possession of the lands described in its complaint.
