Ron Perelman’s legal battle over renovations at East Hampton estate nears an end

The legal fight over code violations and un-permitted renovations at Ron Perelman’s East Hampton estate, The Creeks, moved toward completion at a meeting of the East Hampton Village Zoning Board of Appeals, but the village’s attorney asked to keep the proceedings open until specific information was provided about fixes to the outstanding violations. At issue are several projects at The Creeks that were made without approval and violate the town code, including the enlargement of a small synagogue, clearing of thousands of feet of wetlands and building too close to the wetlands. The battle, which began in 2012, will continue at the board’s March 9 hearing. [EHS]
