        At the trial in court on appeal:
            (1)  Either party may, as a matter of right, have the
        jury or the judge in a trial without a jury view the property
        involved, notwithstanding that structures have been
        demolished or the site altered, and the view shall be
        evidentiary. If the trial is with a jury, the trial judge
        shall accompany the jury on the view.
            (2)  If any valuation expert who has not previously

        statement of the valuation of the property before and after
        the condemnation and the expert's opinion of the highest and
        best use of the property before the condemnation and of any
        part remaining after the condemnation on the opposing party
        at least ten days before the commencement of the trial.
            (3)  The report of the viewers and the amount of their
        award shall not be admissible as evidence.
