Opinion

Argued November 16, 1961

Decided January 11, 1962

Appeal from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Second Judicial Department, D. ORMONDE RITCHIE, J.

Arthur A. Kaye and Charles T. Matthews for Greenlawn Shopping Center, Inc., appellant-respondent.

Charles Hammond and David L. Glickman for Fred W. Bartels, appellant-respondent.

Richard C. Cahn and Irving Cahn for Town Board of the Town of Huntington, respondent-appellant.


Order affirmed, without costs; no opinion.

Concur: Chief Judge DESMOND and Judges DYE, FULD, VAN VOORHIS, BURKE and FOSTER.


I dissent. Following the argument of the appeal in this court on November 16, 1961 — at which time the 1960 amendment to the zoning ordinance was challenged for lack of proper notice and opportunity to be heard — there were submitted to us excerpts taken from the Town Board minutes of the November 28, 1961 hearing on the re-enactment of the 1960 amendment. Those excerpts show the following: "Resolution No. 30 — Re-enactment of Building Zone Ordinances. Kelly (a member of the Town Board) stated that he voted yes for this proposal on the strength of the statement made by the Town Attorney and the Supervisor that this would not retroactively affect existing parking lots and would only apply to new applications." In view of the foregoing, I am of the opinion that there should be a reargument here.
