Opinion
April 25, 1985
Appeal from the Court of Claims (Lowery, Jr., J.).
The judgment should be affirmed for the reasons stated in the opinion of Judge Thomas J. Lowery, Jr., of the Court of Claims. The uncontradicted testimony of claimant's president supports the application of the doctrine of condemnation blight in determining the highest and best use of the appropriated property to be as a full-service restaurant ( see, City of Buffalo v. Clement Co., 28 N.Y.2d 241, 254, 257-258; Matter of City of Rochester v. Livadas, 98 A.D.2d 976).
Judgment affirmed, with costs. Kane, J.P., Main, Mikoll, Yesawich, Jr., and Harvey, JJ., concur.
