Alternative locations for condemnation, procedure.

523.265. With regard to property interests acquired by condemnation or

negotiations in lieu of the exercise thereof, within thirty days of receiving

a written notice sent under section 523.250, the landowner may propose to the

condemning authority in writing an alternative location for the property to

be condemned, which alternative location shall be on the same parcel of the

landowner's property as the property the condemning authority seeks to

condemn. The proposal shall describe the alternative location in such detail

that the alternative location is clearly defined for the condemning

authority. The condemning authority shall consider all such alternative

locations. This section shall not apply to takings of an entire parcel of

land. A written statement by the condemning authority to the landowner that

it has considered all such alternative locations, and briefly stating why

they were rejected or accepted, is conclusive evidence that sufficient

consideration was given to the alternative locations.
