Public Access Easement to Recreation Area Granted; Public Hearing Not Required

In a full-fledged opinion by Justice Stein, the Third Department upheld the grant of a petition pursuant to the Eminent Domain Procedure Law (EDPL) to acquire a public access easement over private land abutting a recreation area on land owned by a hydroelectric facility. The condemnation proceeding was triggered when the owner of the private property abutting the recreation area blocked roads which for years had provided public access to the recreation area. In a lengthy and detailed opinion, the Third Department explained the applicable procedures pursuant to the EDPL and why statutory exemptions to the public hearing requirement of the EDPL applied in this case.  In the Matter of Eagle Creek Land Resources, LLC, et al v Woodstone Lake Development, LLC, 514046, 3rd Dept, 5-9-13
