Leonard Benowich

In Peconic Land Trust, Inc. v Salvatore, the Second Department affirmed the Motion Court’s grant of summary judgment upholding the notice provisions in a conservation easement and held that the landowner’s failure to notify the land trust before they cut down trees that were protected by that conservation easement was a material violation of the easement. The Second Department affirmed Justice Pastoressa’s decision and held that the land trust was entitled to judgment “compelling the restoration of the [protected] property to the condition that existed prior to such violation.”
