    Colleen Knapp, Appellant, v County of Livingston, Respondent.
    [701 NYS2d 534]
   —Judgment unanimously affirmed without costs. Memorandum: Supreme Court properly awarded defendant an easement to use an existing drainage pipe over plaintiffs property despite defendant’s inability to prove the precise location of the pipe. Plaintiff alleges in her complaint that the pipe, installed in the early 1900s, runs from a catch basin in the roadway in front of plaintiffs property to Brown’s Creek, approximately 1,000 feet to the north. Further pinpointing the location of the pipe is not necessary for determining the extent of the easement awarded to defendant or the resulting burden on the use by plaintiff of her property.

Because plaintiff failed to plead defendant’s noncompliance with the State Environmental Quality Review Act (ECL art 8 [SEQRA]) in connection with the inverse condemnation cause of action, the court properly denied plaintiffs application to set aside the verdict on that cause of action based upon noncompliance with SEQRA (see, Matter of Village of Saugerties v Town of Saugerties, 201 AD2d 52, 54). The evidence supports the amount of damages awarded for the taking of the easement, and the court properly conditioned injunctive relief upon defendant’s failure to pay that award (see, Buholtz v Rochester Tel. Corp., 40 AD2d 283, 286, appeal dismissed 33 NY2d 939). The court did not abuse its discretion in denying that part of plaintiffs application for an additional allowance under EDPL 701 (see, Hakes v State of New York, 81 NY2d 392, 396-397). Because defendant did not deny the de facto taking and made a settlement offer, that part of plaintiffs application for incidental expenses under EDPL 702 (C) was properly denied. The court properly denied without prejudice to further application that part of plaintiffs application for incidental expenses under EDPL 702 (B) (see, Ashe v Mohawk Val. Nursing Home (262 AD2d 960 [decided herewith]). (Appeal from Judgment of Supreme Court, Livingston County, Cornelius, J. — EDPL.) Present — Green, J. P., Lawton, Pigott, Jr., Scudder and Balio, JJ.
