|
shall show existing highways in
the area involved and the |
property lines and owners of record of all
land that will be |
needed for the future additions and all other
pertinent |
information. Approval of the map with any changes resulting
|
from the hearing shall be indicated in the record of the |
hearing and a
notice of the approval
and a copy of the map |
shall be filed in the
office of the recorder for all counties |
in which the land
needed for future additions is located.
|
Public notice of the approval and filing shall be given in |
newspapers
of general circulation in all counties where the |
land is located and
shall be served by registered mail within |
60 days thereafter on all
owners of record of the land needed |
for future additions.
|
The Department may approve changes in the map from time to |
time. The
changes shall be filed and notice given in the manner |
provided for an
original map.
|
After the map is filed and notice thereof given to the |
owners of
record of the land needed for future additions, no |
one shall incur
development costs or place improvements in, |
upon or under the land
involved nor rebuild, alter or add to |
any existing structure without
first giving 60 days notice by |
registered mail to the Department. This
prohibition shall not |
apply to any normal or emergency repairs to
existing |
structures. The Department shall have 45 days after receipt of
|
that notice to inform the owner of the Department's intention |
to acquire
the land involved; after which, it shall have the |
|
additional time of 120
days to acquire such land by purchase or |
to initiate action to acquire
said land through the exercise of |
the right of eminent domain. When the
right of way is acquired |
by the State no damages shall be allowed for
any construction, |
alteration or addition in violation of this Section
unless the |
Department has failed to acquire the land by purchase or has
|
abandoned an eminent domain proceeding initiated pursuant to |
the
provisions of this paragraph.
|
Any right of way needed for additions to the highway system |
may be
acquired at any time by the State or by the county or |
municipality in
which it is located. The time of determination |
of the value of the
property to be taken under this Section for |
additions to the highway
system shall be the date of the actual |
taking, if the property is
acquired by purchase, or the date of |
the filing of a complaint for
condemnation, if the property is |
acquired through the exercise of the
right of eminent domain, |
rather than the date when the map of the
proposed right-of-way |
was filed of record. The rate of compensation to
be paid for |
farm land acquired hereunder by the exercise of the right of
|
eminent domain shall be in accordance with Section 4-501 of |
this Code.
|
Not more than 10 years after a protected corridor is |
established under this
Section regardless of whether the |
corridor is established before or after the effective date of |
this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly, and not later |
than the expiration of each succeeding 10 year period,
the |
|
Department shall hold public hearings to discuss the viability |
and
feasibility of the protected corridor. In the case of a |
protected corridor established prior to 10 years before the |
effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General |
Assembly, the hearing shall be conducted within 6 months of the |
effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General |
Assembly. The Department shall retain the discretion to |
maintain any protected corridor established under this |
Section, but shall give due
consideration to the information |
obtained at the hearing and, if
the Department in its |
discretion determines that construction of the roadway is no |
longer feasible, the Department shall abolish the protected
|
corridor.
