        306.17  APPEAL.
         Notwithstanding the terms of the Iowa administrative procedure
      Act, chapter 17A, any claimant for damages may, by serving, within
      twenty days after the order has been issued, a written notice upon
      the agency which instituted and conducted the proceedings, appeal as
      to the amount of damages, to the district court of the county in
      which the land is located, in the manner and form prescribed in
      chapter 6B with reference to appeals from condemnation, and the
      proceedings shall thereafter conform to the applicable provisions of
      that chapter. If, in the opinion of the agency, the damages as
      finally determined on appeal are excessive, the agency may rescind
      its order vacating and closing the road, part thereof, or crossing,
      and the right-of-way shall remain under the jurisdiction of the
      agency. If the order is rescinded at any time after an appeal is
      taken, the agency shall pay reasonable attorney fees incurred by the
      claimant as taxed by the court.
