Professor Richard Epstein began the Hawaii Land Use Law Conference with the keynote presentation on “Stealth Takings: Exactions, Impact Fees, and More,” which was his usual comprehensive and non-stop takedown of takings law.
Our panel on Impact Fees and Exactions After Koontz followed, and here are the promised links and other materials which I mentioned:
- Nollan v. California Coastal Comm’n, 483 U.S. 825 (1987)
- Dolan v. City of Tigard, 512 U.S. 374 (1994)
- Koontz v. St. Johns River Water Management Dist., No. 11-1147 (U.S. June 25, 2013)
- Our amicus brief in Koontz
- Post-Supreme Court remand to the Florida courts: Koontz Wins Again
- Surprise! Environmental Lawprof Dislikes Koontz
Later today, I will also post up a recording of my short backgrounder on the exaction issue, to give you a flavor of the panel discussion (the Hawaii State Bar Assocation recorded the sessions, and will release them later).
Our thanks to all who are attending — this is the largest group of attendees I’ve seen in a while, and it’s encouraging as faculty to see an engaged audience. The conference continues tomorrow.
