In the Matter of the ROCHESTER URBAN RENEWAL AGENCY, Appellant, Relative to Acquiring Title to Real Property for the Southeast Loop Urban Renewal Project in the City of Rochester. PATCHEN POST, INC., Respondent.

Judgment unanimously affirmed, with costs. Memorandum: The trial court's determination that the subject property qualifies as a "specialty" is amply supported and thus its utilization of the current cost of reproduction less depreciation approach was proper (Keator v State of New York, 23 N.Y.2d 337, 340). The highest and best use of the improvement was its use by respondent Patchen Post, Inc., owned by Patchen-Briggs Post 307, Veterans of Foreign Wars, as a clubhouse. The facility was specifically designed, built and used for this purpose. Having concluded that the property was a "specialty", there was no need for the trial court to consider the income approach to valuation advanced by petitioner. Nor did the trial court err in assessing land value. Its determination is within the range of testimony, supported by credible evidence and not grossly excessive (see Matter of City of New York [A W Realty Corp.], 1 N.Y.2d 428; McNitt v State of New York, 24 A.D.2d 544). Accordingly, it should not be disturbed (see 5 Nichols, Eminent Domain [3d ed], § 17.1[4]).
