By Neil Stein The Supreme Court Helps Private Property Owners (At Least For Now)
rivate property own- ers requesting courts to intervene in land use
cases, rarely obtain a favorable outcome when raising constitu- tional claims. Although there have been exceptions. Nollan and Dolan (short titles) were U.S. Supreme Court cases that established that the govern- ment cannot make unreason- able demands as a condition for a permit. Such demands must be both related to the impact of the proposed development and roughly proportional to the expected harm caused by the development. Simply put, a permit application is not al- ways a justifiable opportunity for the government to engage in extortion. On June 25, 2013, in a sig- nificant victory for landowners, the Supreme Court held that the government’s demand for property from a land use ap- plicant must satisfy the Nollan and Dolan requirements even when it denies the permit. In St. Johns River Wa-
ter Management District v. Koontz, the Supreme Court was asked to decide (1) whether Nollan and Dolan protections apply to government permit conditions demanding money or other property (and not just real property); and (2) whether a permit application must be granted in order for Nollan and Dolan to apply to such demands. Koontz owned and sought to develop a small portion of wetland impacted land. To do so, he needed a permit from the Management District and offered to impose a conservation easement on most of the property and to
continued on page 26A The Supreme Court held that under the unconstitutional conditions doctrine, which pre- vents government from coerc- ing people to give up their con- stitutional rights, courts cannot distinguish between approving a permit on a condition and conduct mitigation studies. The District thought these were insufficient concessions and directed Koontz to perform mitigation on a large parcel of land, located elsewhere in the watershed, which he did not own. Koontz refused and the permit application was denied.
