POTSDAM â During a special meeting Monday night, the village Board of Trustees approved a number of resolutions, including a settlement agreement it has reached with Frederick J. âHankâ Robar Sr.
Last month, mediation between Mr. Robar and the village resulted in a settlement in principle over a federal lawsuit against the village that Mr. Robar filed last August seeking no less than $7 million in damages. The lawsuit was filed after the village attempted to force him to remove his toilet gardens from seven properties around the village.
The dispute dates back to 2004 when a buyer was interested in purchasing 82-84 Market St. â the corner of Market and Pleasant streets. Mr. Robar owns the property. Mr. Robar said the buyer wanted to build a Dunkinâ Donuts coffee shop at the site.
