OWNER OF REGULATED WETLANDS ENTITLED TO AN INCREASED VALUATION IN CONDEMNATION PROCEEDINGS REPRESENTING THE PREMIUM A KNOWLEDGEABLE BUYER MIGHT PAY FOR A POTENTIAL CHANGE TO A MORE VALUABLE USE (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, in a full-fledged opinion by Justice Leventhal, determined that the condemnation of regulated wetlands can be subject to an increased valuation (increment) based upon a reasonable probability a knowledgeable buyer could successfully challenge the taking as unconstitutional. The increment represents the premium that a knowledgeable buyer would be willing to pay for a potential change to a more valuable use. Here Supreme Court found the increment to be $382,190.25. The Second Department, using the City’s appraisal, reduced the increment to about $157,000.00. The value of the regulated wetlands was deemed to be $75,000.00:

​

In light of the United States Supreme Court’s holding in Palazzolo [v Rhode Island, 533 US at 617], we conclude that a subsequent buyer of the property would not be precluded from bringing a successful regulatory takings claim. As a result, we reject the City’s argument that no knowledgeable buyer would be willing to pay a premium for the probability of a successful judicial determination that the regulations were confiscatory. We hold that the reasonable probability incremental increase rule still may be applied in valuing regulated wetlands properties taken in condemnation. Matter of New Cr. Bluebelt, Phase 3., 2017 NY Slip Op 07994, Second Dept 11-15-17
