New York Court of Appeals

Raymond C. Conley v. Town of Brookhaven Zoning Board of Appeals

July 13, 197640 N.Y.2d 309

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order upholding the zoning board's grant of an area variance to the De Poys, finding no abuse of discretion because the board's decision was supported by substantial evidence of practical difficulties, permissible consideration of financial hardship, and efficient land use concerns.
