Summary

The New York Court of Appeals held that the Town of Southeast Planning Board took a hard look at the environmental changes, made a reasoned elaboration, and was not required to prepare a second supplemental environmental impact statement; it did not improperly defer its SEQRA duties, was not obligated to solicit additional agency comments, and its conditional final approval did not violate town subdivision regulations. Accordingly, the Court reversed the Appellate Division orders and dismissed the petitions.
