Local Residents Challenge Approval of Site Plan Review for New Restaurant

Chris Browne, a Partner with the Firm, is currently representing a Montauk resident in a lawsuit against the Town of East Hampton Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA), the East Hampton Building Department and the owners of a motel that abuts the client's property. The motel recently opened a new restaurant on its property. The client is challenging the legality of the building permit the Town issued to the motel owners in 2015 to allow for a restaurant operation of the property. Mr. Browne said the Town should have required the motel to obtain site plan approval from the Town Planning Board before issuing the permit for the restaurant use.

The case was reported by The East Hampton Star and 27east.
