GOSHEN, N.Y. -- The town of Goshen is asking a judge to dismiss Concerned Citizens for the Hudson Valley's petition asking for a referendum over the sale of eight land parcels to Legoland for $60,000.

"There were various defects of signatures, several people signing it twice. People not registered to vote signing it, witnesses witnessing their own signature. Various problems with it," said Richard Golden, Goshen town attorney.

"I'm sure that when anyone gathers 408 signatures, there'll be some, 15, 20, that might be invalid for one or another reasons, but that has very little to do with whether we have 181 signatures. And if we have that number of signatures, we force the referendum," said Michael Sussman, Concerned Citizens for the Hudson Valley attorney.

Sussman maintains that the site plan shows the land used, in part, for emergency vehicles to get in and out of the proposed site.

"If they don't get to those parcels, they have to re-design their site plan, and we don't know what they would do but the fact is, they should not be selling those parcels for $60,000. They should not be selling them to facilitiate this project," said Sussman.

Legoland officials say the deal wouldn't impact the theme park from moving forward.

"Our State Environmental Quality Review Act plan fully evaluated a construcition alternative without the town-owned lots. The changes are not substantial and we have always said we would move ahead either with the purchase of the lots or without them," said Phil Royle, Legoland New York project/community relations head.

As an additional part of the land deal, Goshen would receive two wells, and $30,000 per well to develop around it.
