Court of Appeals of Georgia March 24, 2006, A05A2203 (Department of Transportation v. Brannan)

Phipps, Judge.

The Georgia Department of Transportation (DOT) condemned 4.795 acres of an approximately 46-acre tract of land owned by Sara Brannan for public road purposes pursuant to OCGA § 32-3-1 et seq. A jury awarded Brannan $624,884 as just and adequate compensation. The DOT appeals, contending that the evidence did not authorize this amount. We find that it did and affirm.
