Court Upholds Admission of Expert Testimony on "Visibility" in Valuing Property Taken by Eminent Domain

The First District Court of Appeals has upheld a trial court's admission of expert testimony concerning the "visibility" value of property taken by eminent domain. In Norwood v. Burton (2005), 164 Ohio App. 3d 136, the court held that the testimony of signage expert Dr. R. James Claus was properly admitted to establish that the value of the owner's property greatly exceeded the value established by a "cost approach" appraisal. Because the property was located accross from a major shopping center, the jury could properly consider all the facts contributing to the property's value, including its high visibility.
