16. Chapter 2: The Eminent Domain Power & the Public Use Requirement Federal Constitutional Background State Public Use Standards State Public Use Standards Poletown : Recap & Transition Hatchcock Review Problems 2B & 2C Kelo & Beyond

17. Poletown Tests Used if land ends up in private hands (1)Public must be “primary beneficiary” & private benefit merely “incidental” (2) Public benefit must be “clear and significant” Michigan SCt in Poletown repeatedly says these tests are met w/o much analysis

18. State “Public Use” Standards: Compare: City of Seattle (Wash. 1981) City of Seattle Majority Test: Eminent Domain OK under Washington Constitution if: AND 1) Use is really [open to] public (private uses only “incidental”); AND AND 2) Public interests require it; AND 3) The property appropriated is necessary for the purpose. I Won’t Test Directly, BUT Useful to Contrast with Other Tests Can Use Ideas in a Lawyering Q or an Opinion/Dissent Q

19. State “Public Use” Standards: Transition Roughly 20 Years between Midkiff (1984) and Hatchcock (2004)/Kelo (2005) Country Grows More Conservative & Increases Protection of Property Rights Increasing Controversy re Cases Like Rev Prob 2B & City of Seattle involving EmDom to create new private or public-private complexes Condemnation of shabby but functional biz or residential district. Replace it with new shopping areas and/or upscale housing units and/or industrial parks/office space. Leads to claims in Hatchcock & Kelo

21. State “Public Use” Standards: The Three Hatchcock “Situations” Hatchcock: Public Benefit is insufficient; only 3 “situations” where property acquired by EmDom legitimately ends up in private hands: (1) Public Necessity: (1) Public Necessity: Type of Project is important/vital & only way to do project is through Eminent Domain;--OR-- (2) Accountability: (2) Accountability: Private entity remains responsible to public for its use;--OR-- (3) Selection: (3) Selection: Particular parcel(s) chosen based on facts of independent public significance.

22. Lists of Relevant Factors: “AND” v. “OR” all of them Three factors in City of Seattle connected by “AND” so a project must satisfy all of them to be constitutional. one of them Three situations in Hatchcock connected by “OR” so a project only needs to fit one of them to be constitutional.

23. Lists of Relevant Factors: “AND” v. “OR” Cf. Ford Focus “AND is Better” Commercials Sweet AND/OR Sour Chicken Nuts AND/OR Bolts Loud AND/OR Clear

24. Lists of Relevant Factors: “AND” v. “OR” Cf. Ford Focus “AND is Better” Commercials OR BUT Sometimes OR is Better!!! 50 Page Paper AND/OR a Final Exam Breaking AND/OR Entering Vomiting AND/OR Diarrhea

25. State “Public Use” Standards: The Three Hatchcock “Situations” Hatchcock: Public Benefit is insufficient; only 3 “situations” where property acquired by EmDom legitimately ends up in private hands: (1) Public Necessity OR (1) Public Necessity: Type of Project is important/vital & only way to do project is through Eminent Domain; OR (2) Accountability: OR (2) Accountability: Private entity remains responsible to public for its use; OR (3) Selection: (3) Selection: Particular parcel(s) chosen based on facts of independent public significance.

26. SEQUOIA: DQ 2.10-2.11 SEQUOIAS

27. State “Public Use” Standards: The Hatchcock “Situations” DQ2.10-2.11 (Sequoia) (1)Public Necessity: Examples Given: Private RRs or highways, etc. What kind of Necessity does Court mean?

28. State “Public Use” Standards: The Hatchcock “Situations” DQ2.10-2.11 (Sequoia) Note Different Possible Meanings of “Necessity” Use of EmDom is Necessary for Project Use of EmDom is Necessary for Project (Hatchcock #1; maybe City of Seattle #2; Merrill) Project is Necessary for Public Interest Project is Necessary for Public Interest (Maybe City of Seattle #2; Hatchcock #1 says type of project should be “vital”; doesn’t say that particular project must be “necessary”) Site is Necessary for Project Site is Necessary for Project (City of Seattle #3; maybe part of Hatchcock #3)

29. State “Public Use” Standards: The Hatchcock “Situations” DQ2.10-2.11 (Sequoia) (1)Public Necessity: Type of Project is important & only way to do project is through Eminent Domain Examples Given: RRs, highways, etc. Justification: Overcome high transaction costs for key activities Justification: Overcome high transaction costs for key activities OCR Dissent P181-82: Hard to determine if really necessary. Hatchcock majority must believe that GM could assemble large parcel through ordinary purchases. Application to facts of Midkiff?

30. State “Public Use” Standards: The Hatchcock “Situations” DQ2.10-2.11 (Sequoia) responsible (2) Accountability: Private entity remains responsible to public for its use. “Responsible” here probably suggests that private compliance with govt /public wishes is not simply voluntary Examples: Could make pvt. ownership contingent on particulars (contracts) Gov’t could retain supervision or voice in management Possible Justification?

31. State “Public Use” Standards: The Hatchcock “Situations” DQ2.10-2.11 (Sequoia) (2) Accountability: Private entity remains responsible to public for its use Justification: If still public control, not entirely private use. I.e., if gov’t effectively employing K’or to do gov’t job, seems public enough. Poletown: Not much evidence of this in Detroit-GM deal. Application to facts of Midkiff? Consider Limits in Program or in Contracts that Would Help

32. State “Public Use” Standards: The Hatchcock “Situations” DQ2.10-2.11 (Sequoia) (3) Selection: Particular parcel(s) chosen based on facts of independent public significance. Test Means? Examples?

33. State “Public Use” Standards: The Hatchcock “Situations” DQ2.10-2.11 (Sequoia) (3) Selection: Particular parcel(s) chosen based on facts of independent public significance. Test Means: Can justify choice of land w/o reference to desires/ultimate uses of private entity. Example: Urban Renewal (Berman) (land chosen to remove urban “blight”) Justification: “Public” part is taking of land, not who ends up with it. only Poletown: GM parcel chosen only b/c of GM’s desires & ultimate uses. Application to facts of Midkiff?

34. State “Public Use” Standards: The Hatchcock “Situations” DQ2.10-2.11 (Sequoia) (3) Particular parcel(s) chosen based on facts of independent public significance. Can justify choice w/o reference to desires/ultimate uses of private entity. Application to facts of Midkiff? Purpose seems to be to get it out of hands of land oligopoly BUT selected by private tenants who want to reside there. OCR in Kelo Dissent says Midkiff fits this category. Suggests that test met where public has good reason to get it out of hands of present owners (without considering where it will end up).

35. State “Public Use” Standards: The Three Hatchcock “Situations” (1) Public Necessity: Project is important & only way to do project is through EmDom; (2) Accountability: Private entity remains responsible to public for its use; (3) Selection: Particular parcel(s) chosen based on facts of independent public significance. NOTE: Hatchcock overruled Poletown & struck down use of EmDom to create 1300-acre biz/technology park, so Mich. S.Ct. must have believed that both projects would fail all three tests. Poletown tests survive in other states. Qs on Hatchcock “Situations”?
