Chris Browne Files Injunction to Remove Moratorium on Subdivision Plan

Chris Browne, a Partner with the Firm, is representing developers who are seeking to subdivide a 1.75-acre parcel in Rockville Centre on Hempstead Avenue and is seeking to strike down a moratorium that the Village of Rockville Centre issued on the development.

Following the application made on behalf of Mr. Browne’s clients, the Village Board voted to impose a six-month moratorium on the construction on properties with private roads, in the face of community opposition to the proposed subdivision. Mr. Browne is arguing that the moratorium does not apply since his clients are not creating a private street, but instead a public one.

Mr. Browne appeared for an oral argument before Nassau County Supreme Court Justice John Galasso on July 24. He is currently awaiting a decision.
