Calcium DQ110: Eubank v. Richmond

• Regulation: Land use decision required if requested by 2/3 of neighbors

• S.Ct. in Eubank says unconstitutional– apparently problem having some property

owners dictate rules for others– pretty clear possibility of unfair/arbitrary result

• Why did pet’r argue it was relevant to Miller?



• S.Ct. in Eubank says unconstitutional

• Why did pet’r argue it was relevant to Miller? – Gov’t action triggered by request of neighbors

• What was Court’s Response?



• S.Ct. in Eubank says unconstitutional• Why arguably relevant to Miller?

– Gov’t action triggered by request of neighbors

• SCt: Decision in Miller not by neighbors– Gov’t official decides– subject to judicial review

• As in Hadacheck, arbitrariness claim made & rejected (not our issue)

Miller & Sax

Third para. p.98:

“… the state was under the necessity of making a choice between the preservation of one class of property and that of the other wherever both existed in dangerous proximity. …

Miller & Sax

… It would have been none the less a choice if, instead of enacting the present statute, the state, by doing nothing, had permitted serious injury to the apple orchards within its borders to go on unchecked….

Miller & Sax

… When forced to such a choice the state does not exceed its constitutional powers by deciding upon the destruction of one class of property in order to save another which, in the judgment of the legislature, is of greater value to the public.”

Miller & Sax

NOTE: Choice between two conflicting land uses (= arbiter case) is OK even if state has a very strong interest in choosing one over the other. Can’t be true that the better the state’s reasons, the more likely it has to pay compensation.

Miller & Sax

… When forced to such a choice the state does not exceed its constitutional powers by deciding upon the destruction of one class of property in order to save another which, in the judgment of the legislature, is of greater value to the public.”

Miller & Sax

NOTE: Court allows state legislature to make this choice. Court does not say it is the job of federal courts to make it.

Miller & Sax

Case says choice here is “between the preservation of one class of property and that of the other….”–NOT between any two private

interests

–NOT between public and private interests

Sounds like Sax Arbiter Cases

Miller & Hadacheck & MahonChoice “between the preservation of one

class of property and that of the other….”– NOT between public and private interests

–BUT also says: “[W]here the public interest is involved, preferment of that interest over the property interest of the individual, to the extent even of its destruction, is one of the distinguishing characteristics of every exercise of the police power which affects property.” (citing Hadacheck).

Miller & Hadacheck & Mahon“[W]here the public interest is involved,

preferment of that interest over the property interest of the individual, to the extent even of its destruction, is one of the distinguishing characteristics of every exercise of the police power which affects property.” (citing Hadacheck)

Unclear how this fits with Mahon, which Miller ignores entirely.
