A controversial plan for a 54,000-square-foot mansion proposed by Russian mogul Valery Kogan was rejected by officials after receiving a flurry of complaints from neighbors saying the house would be too large.

The permit was denied Tuesday by the Greenwich Planning and Zoning Commission, halting construction of what would have been the largest single-family residence since the city began reviews back in 2001.

Reports revealed that in order to construct the mansion, Kogan and his wife Olga were planning on tearing down a 20,000-square-foot home currently erected on the area they purchased in 2005.

Commissioners reportedly had concerns with the fact that the home would have a total of 26 bathrooms, indicating the possibility of the owners having large gatherings and thereby disturbing the area's small space.

"Thank God," said neighbor Charles Lee, reacting to the board's 3-2 vote against the construction of the mansion intended to have two wings and parking space for 12 cars. "What we're really pleased about is they used the power the community gave them to support the community. We are delighted."

The petition, forwarded by the community, came with signatures from 175 residents, all of whom were arguing that the plan's size completely opposed the neighborhood's established character.

According to The Age, another neighbor described the planned mansion to be an "eyesore," with the owners seemingly attempting to replicate the Winter Palace.

Lee added that the residents were decidedly prepared to take the matter to court should the committee ruled in favor of the mansion's construction.

Kogan, a member of Moscow's East Line Group, has a $600 million net worth, and with his wife owns homes in Manhattan and California.
