with the fiscal impact associated with disasters.

c. I & III
d. I, III, & IV
✓ D. In Nollan v. California Coastal Commission (1987), the state claimed that the Nollan's
proposed house would interfere with visual and psychological access to the public beach.
The state said that the Nollan's would be granted a building permit only if they allowed
public access to the beach. The court said this was a taking because if the state wanted to
provide access to the beach it should use the power of eminent domain and compensate
the land owners. In First English (1987), a church had not been allowed to use its
property temporarily because it had been flooded; the court said that the city must
provide compensation for this taking, even though it was only temporary. In Lucas, the
court found that a South Carolina state law which prohibited Lucas from building on two
lots on a barrier island was a taking because it deprived Lucas of all economically viable
use of the property. The Associated Homebuilders v. City of Livermore (1976) case was
about growth management. In that case, the court said it was permissible to phase growth
to allow for relief of overcrowded schools and sewer treatment facilities and to increase
water reserves.

✓ C. Ebenezer Howard, (1850-1920) published Tomorrow: A Peaceful Path to Real Reform
in 1898; it was reissued as Garden Cities of Tomorrow in 1902. A garden city included
about 6,000 acres of land and was surrounded with a rural belt. The first garden cities
were in England: Letchworth in 1903 and Welwyn Garden in 1919. New Towns are a
successor to garden cities. The New Towns of Columbia, MD and Reston, VA were built in
the United States after World War II. A Planned Unit Development or PUD is planned
and developed as a single entity containing residential and non-residential development
such as public, commercial or industrial areas. PUDs allow for greater flexibility in
locating buildings, combining land uses, and including open space than traditional
development patterns. Suburban developments are located on the periphery of urban
areas and are not associated with Ebenezer Howard. Riverside, IL is considered the
earliest example of suburban development. Riverside is located outside of Chicago and
was developed in 1868 by Frederick Law Olmsted, Sr.
