Copy as parenthetical citation

(2) If any land acquired by the department under subsection (1) or (4) of this section is a part of a larger tract of land devoted to farm use on the date of the acquisition of such portion of the tract and such acquisition would render uneconomic an otherwise economic farming unit on the whole tract of land, upon the request of the owner of such tract of land, the department shall purchase the entire tract of land. The department shall, whenever practicable, acquire the remainder of any such tract of land with state funds so that the subsequent disposition of any such land will not be subject to restrictions imposed under agreements made for the receipt of nonstate funds otherwise available for the acquisition of such lands.

(3) The department may dispose of lands acquired pursuant to subsection (2) of this section that are located outside the boundaries of the Willamette River Greenway as it considers advisable. However, the disposition of any such lands must comply with the laws of this state and the applicable provisions of any agreement by which the department acquired funds for the purchase of such lands.

(4) Notwithstanding ORS 390.121, the department may only acquire, by any means other than the exercise of eminent domain, for state parks and recreation areas, lands and interests in lands that are situated within the boundaries of the Willamette River Greenway and that are situated outside the boundaries of the parcels of land described in section 8a, chapter 558, Oregon Laws 1973.

(5) In the acquisition of any lands pursuant to subsections (1), (2) and (4) of this section, the department shall include in the compensation and damages, if any, paid for such lands:

(a) As a part of the compensation, in valuing such lands as a whole, paid for any such lands acquired without condemnation proceedings initiated as provided in ORS 35.235, the estimated market value of economically extractable subsurface mineral aggregate deposits of reasonably foreseeable demand known to exist in such lands or shown by the owner to exist in such lands.

(b) As a part of the compensation and damages, if any, in valuing such lands as a whole, for the appropriation of any such lands, acquired by the department after the commencement of condemnation proceedings under ORS 35.235 but not pursuant to an award in a condemnation action initiated under ORS 35.245, the estimated market value of economically extractable subsurface mineral aggregate deposits of reasonably foreseeable demand agreed upon by the department and the owner of lands so acquired.

(c) As a part of the true value and damages, in valuing such lands as a whole, for the appropriation of such lands acquired by award in a condemnation action initiated under ORS 35.245, the estimated market value of economically extractable subsurface mineral aggregate deposits of reasonably foreseeable demand alleged in the answer of the defendant made pursuant to ORS 35.295 and proved by the defendant as a matter of defense to be a part of the true value of such lands so acquired.

(6) This section does not apply to the acquisition of any lands or interests therein acquired for state parks or recreation areas prior to October 5, 1973, and to any lands or interests in land subject to a legally enforceable option held by the state on October 5, 1973, for the purposes of the acquisition of such lands or interests for state parks and recreation areas. [1973 c.558 §8; 1989 c.904 §21]

Note: Section 8a, chapter 558, Oregon Laws 1973, as referenced in 390.338, was amended by section 1, chapter 414, Oregon Laws 2015.
