Eighth Circuit: John Pietsch v. Ward County

 

Notice and a hearing on the landowners' applications for variances from a zoning regulation sufficed for procedural due process. The zoning regulation requiring a right of way wasn't irrational, given the public interest in road construction.  Claim of unfair exaction improperly attempts to recast a takings claim as a procedural due process claim.
