79. Subdivision
1. Valuation/Subdivision: Valuation need not be based
on what a willing purchaser will pay for the whole at the time of the taking,
where the land is undeveloped and subdivision is imaginary or hypothetical, despite
cases to the contrary in other jurisdictions. Tacchino
v. State ex rel. Dep't Hwys., 89 Nev. 150, 153, 508 P.2d 1212 (1973) (#50)
2. Valuation/Subdivision: The possibility of subdivision
is a factor a well-informed buyer would use in arriving at a price he would pay
for the land. Id. at 153 (#50)
3. Valuation/Subdivision: "The potential income to be
derived from the sale of subdivided lots, properly discounted to show present
value, is a factor and relevant to a determination of market value, since sophisticated
investors make decisions on the basis of income capitalization." Id. at
154 (#50)
4. Valuation/Subdivision (Dissent): Industrial property
is not conducive to being subdivided into equal lots because of the varying requirements
of prospective industrial purchasers, as admitted in the evidence. (#50)
5. Valuation/Subdivision (Dissent): "[W]here the entire
parcel of land is taken as a unit...the proper measure of compensation is what
a willing purchaser would be willing to pay for the parcel at the time of the
taking, in its then condition and not what a number of purchasers might, in the
future, be induced to pay for the land as divided into lots." Id. at 155.
[This is not inconsistent with the majority holding. The possibility of subdivision
is a proper element, but it would be improper to suggest that the value of the
land is the value of the accumulated subdivisions, sold "retail". The dissenters
noted there was no dispute below as to adaptability of the land to industrial
subdivision, and the evidence was merely cumulative "and could create substantial
danger of undue prejudice." (c.g.)] (#50)
