(620 ILCS 52/15)
Sec. 15.
County eminent domain powers.
If a land use exists or a
municipality approves a land
use that is incompatible with the Air Installation Compatible Use Zone Study,
and any portion of the
affected land is within areas designated in the Air Installation Compatible Use
Zone Study as clear zones
and runway protection zones, accident potential zones I, or accident potential
zones II, or is within the 65
decibel A-weighted noise contour, the county may use eminent domain
to
acquire either the fee simple title
to that portion of
the affected land
or the easement rights in that portion of the affected land that are necessary
for the compatible land use defined under the Air Installation Compatible Use
Zone Study.
If a
municipality within those zones controls the use of land in a manner compatible
with the Air Installation
Compatible Use Zone Study, the county does not have eminent domain authority.
