Dolan v. Tigard Plan


"In 1991, the Dolan family asked the city of Tigard, Oregon, for a permit in order to double the size of A-Boy West, the family's electrical and plumbing supply store. In return, the Dolans were asked to dedicate part of their adjacent land to the city--some of it within the Fanno Creek floodplain and some of it for a bike path. The Dolans sued the city, claiming their land was being taken without just compensation--and they won in the U.S. Supreme Court in 1994. Drawing by Dennis McClendon; source, city of Tigard."
