a a a a a a a TUESDAY BROOKLYN TIMES UNION SEPTEMBER 11, 1984 ADDRESS MAIL ATLANTIC BROOKLYN ROCKAWAY AWARD CASE REOPENING DENIED BY MAY Court Blocks Windels' Move to Set Aside $629,743 Payment. Supreme Court Justice May, In Jamaica, handed down a decision yesterday which struck a vital blow to Mayor LaGuardia's and Corporation Counsel Windels' campaign to set aside what they believe to be absorbant condemnation awards made during the preceding city administration. The decision concerned land bought by the city at the foot of Beach 116th st to the foot of Beach 124th along Beach Channel in Rockaway. At high tide it is under water. Justice May refused to grant permission to reopen condemnation proceedings.

The land cost the city $629,743 and Mr. Windels application to reopen the proceeding to present testimony on. a different basis than that taken at the original hearing. At the original hearing, two realtors made appraisals. A.

N. Gitterman of Manhattan, said the property could not be filled in but could be yacht basin. Ira Jamaica, said converted, the land could be filled in. Justice May who presided at the original trial, decided the, appraisals were widely divergent and although he believed both acted in good faith. their opinions could not be reconciled.

In refusing to grant his permission, Justice May said: an elapse of two years' time no sufficient reason appears why the proceedings should be reopened and it serious objection is to be raised as to the amount awarded such objection can be raised in regular court upon hearings of objections to the award." The city, claimed that the land worth $136.887 but the owners asked. $1,023,539. The award made was $629,743. Mayor LaGuardia, when he visited it recently, referred to it as "larceny park."
