In the Matter of MARGARET PADEN et al., Appellants v. PLANNING BOARD OF THE TOWN OF MAMAKATING et al., Respondents

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

CARPINELLO, J.

Petitioners challenge a determination of respondent Planning Board of the Town of Mamakating granting respondent J.M.L. Quarries Inc. site plan approval to construct an asphalt concrete batch plant on a four-acre portion of its 465-acre quarry site in the Town of Mamakating, Sullivan County. In their brief, petitioners acknowledge that construction of the plant has been completed, a fact confirmed at oral argument. As a consequence, this appeal has been rendered moot in view of petitioners' failure to seek injunctive relief protecting their interests during the pendency of this appeal (see, e.g., Matter of Many v. Village of Sharon Springs Bd. of Trustees, 234 A.D.2d 643, 644, lv denied 89 N.Y.2d 811; Matter of Save the Pine Bush v. City Engr. of City of Albany, 220 A.D.2d 871, 872, lv denied 87 N.Y.2d 807; Matter of Serafin v. Wallace, 117 A.D.2d 926, 927; Matter of Friends of Pine Bush v. Planning Bd. of City of Albany, 86 A.D.2d 246, 247-248, affd 59 N.Y.2d 849). There being no basis for applying any of the exceptions to the mootness doctrine, the appeal should be dismissed (see, Matter of Hearst Corp. v. Clyne, 50 N.Y.2d 707, 713-714; cf., Matter of Save the Pine Bush v. City of Albany, 141 A.D.2d 949, 951, lv denied 73 N.Y.2d 701). Even if we were to address the merits, none of the arguments advanced by petitioners warrants annulment of the Planning Board's determination.

Cardona, P.J., Peters, Graffeo and Mugglin, JJ., concur.

ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed, as moot, without costs.
