The village acknowledges that violations pre-dating the purchase of the property by the yeshiva existed, and it is clear from the record that the village took no enforcement actions until the yeshiva purchased the properties to continue using them as a school, the yeshiva states in legal papers filed Friday in state Supreme Court at the Rockland Courthouse in New City. The yeshiva s legal action states the village must explain to the court how the selective enforcement of its zoning ordinance survives scrutiny under the Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection Clause.

The proposal to dissolve the village was originally put forth earlier this year when it was revealed that Nyack College’s 128-acre campus was to be sold to Yeshiva Viznitz of Monsey for $45.5 million.

By: Jennifer Korn On Thursday Dec 17, South Nyack residents will be asked to vote on a referendum that could result in their village being reabsorbed into Orangetown. After the petition to hold the referendum was filed, the South Nyack Village Board hired CGR, a consulting company, to prepare a report that highlights the impacts of the potential dissolution.

The full dissolution impact report is available at www.cgr.org/southnyack. Some residents support dissolving the village in order to lower taxes, while others are skeptical about the projected revenue and fear a loss of political autonomy. ....
