The commissioners, having been duly sworn and qualified
according to law, shall meet as directed by the order of
appointment and hear the allegations and proofs of all persons
interested touching the matters to them committed. They may
adjourn from time to time and from place to place within the
county, giving oral notice to those present of the time and
place of their next meeting. All testimony taken by them shall
be given publicly, under oath, and in their presence. They
shall view the premises, and any of them may subpoena witnesses,
which shall be served as subpoenas in civil actions are served,
and at the cost of the parties applying therefor. If deemed
necessary, they may require the petitioner or owner to furnish
for their use maps, plats, and other information which the
petitioner or owner may have showing the nature, character, and
extent of the proposed undertaking and the situation of lands
desired therefor. In proper cases they may reserve to the owner
a right of way or other privilege in or over the land taken, or
attach reasonable conditions to such taking in addition to the
damages given or they may make an alternative award, conditioned
upon the granting or withholding of the right specified.
Without unreasonable delay they shall make a separate assessment
and award of the damages which in their judgment will result to
each of the owners of the land by reason of such taking and
report the same to the court. The commissioners shall not
reduce the amount of the damages awarded because the land being
taken is, at the time of the taking, valued under section
273.111, designated as an agricultural preserve under chapter
473H. The commissioners, in all such proceedings, may in their
discretion allow and show separately in addition to the award of
damages, reasonable appraisal fees not to exceed a total of
$500. Upon request of an owner the commissioners shall show in
their report the amount of the award of damages which is to
reimburse the owner and tenant or lessee for the value of the
land taken, and the amount of the award of damages, if any,
which is to reimburse the owner and tenant or lessee for damages
to the remainder involved, whether or not described in the
petition. The amounts awarded to each person shall also be
shown separately. The commissioners shall, if requested by any
party, make an express finding of the estimated cost of removal
and remedial actions that will be necessary on the taken
property because of existing environmental contamination.
