A coalition of neighbors had sued the village of Mamaroneck, N.Y.’s zoning appeals board for granting a special-use permit to the club, claiming that evidence about traffic, parking, noise and safety problems had been ignored. The suit was dismissed in 2015 and appellate judges found that enough evidence existed to justify both the board’s original decision and the dismissal.

The new ownership of the Mamaroneck, N.Y. club wants to build a condo complex on two acres of the 116-acre property, but community opposition has led to a lawsuit. Adding the residential component is vital to the long-term viability of the club in the highly competitive New York metro market, advocates of the plan contend.
