Description
Minn. Stat. 脗§ 164.35, subd. 4 (1992), to the extent it requires the recording of town roads to a width greater than that of actual public use, is unconstitutional because it allows the government to take a person's private property without just compensation. AMUNDSON, Judge Respondent Howard R. Alton, Jr. initiated this action to prevent appellant, Wabedo Township (township), from clearing brush and trees for eight feet back from the surface of a road adjacent to his property. The district court granted Alton summary judgment and issued a permanent injunction preventing the township from clearing the brush and trees. The court concluded that the method for recording town roads in Minn. Stat. 脗§ 164.35, subd. 4 (1992) is unconstitutional since it was a taking without compensation. We affirm.
