When property is expropriated pursuant to this Part, any defendant may apply for a trial to determine the measure of compensation to which he is entitled, if:
(1) He files an answer within one year from the date he is notified in writing by the district that it has finally accepted the construction project for which the property was expropriated. However, he may file his answer prior to the date he is notified by the district.
(2) His answer sets forth the amount he claims, including the value of each parcel expropriated and the amount he claims as damages to the remainder of his property.
(3) His damage claim is reasonably itemized.
(4) His answer has a certificate thereon showing that a copy thereof has been served personally or by mail on all parties to the suit who have not joined in the answer.
