Report Copyright Violation | I know how much you guys love Kiryas Joel, and guess what...68 acre housing expansion is in the works! UPDATE 10/11 KJ wins 164 acre case! I know how much some of you enjoy the KJ Hasides. The story was originally published on 9/2/16, but I saw no mention of it here. From the link: "The land is indeed part of Kiryas Joel and belongs to Irving Bauer, a Mount Kisco resident who acquired the property in 1989 and has resisted pleas to develop it until now. Last year, in the midst of a contentious review of two petitions to expand Kiryas Joel through annexation, the Sullivan County attorney representing Bauer in a long-running court battle with Orange County said his client was "land-banking" his Kiryas Joel property, "confident that its value is increasing."
Bauer appears to have decided the price is now right.
His attorney, Gerald Orseck of Liberty, said Friday that Bauer is negotiating with developers with whom he intends to collaborate. Though the terms are undecided, Orseck said that the prospective developers already have made preliminary inquiries about their building plans and that village officials are "highly supportive."
"I expect this to go very, very quickly," he said.
Bauer himself refused to discuss his plans when reached by phone.
Joel Mann, a Kiryas Joel planning consultant whose firm drew the conceptual design for the housing plans, said he estimates that between 1,000 and 1,500 housing units could be built on the property, which he said had almost no wetlands and no steep slopes that would obstruct development. Formal plans could be submitted to the village within the next two months, Mann said. The project is reportedly named "Vayoel Moshe," the title of a 1961 book by Satmar founder Joel Teitelbaum."

Well, even though it'll be ignored, here's an update. [ link to www.recordonline.com] "The ruling means Kiryas Joel will take jurisdiction over the 164-acre area formerly outside its borders unless the losing parties appeal the decision and win a temporary injunction, similar to the one that kept the land under Monroe's control while the cases were pending.":Cthulhu2016: :SCCSA:
