Opinion
Argued June 25, 2001
September 10, 2001.
In a proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 to review a determination of the respondent Town Board of the Town of Islip, the petitioners appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Floyd, J.), entered March 8, 2000, which dismissed the proceeding.
Regina Seltzer, Bellport, N.Y., for appellants.
Vincent J. Mesina, Jr., Town Attorney, Islip, N.Y., for respondents Town of Islip, Town Board of Town of Islip, and Peter McGowan.
Robinson Silverman Pearce Aronsohn Berman, LLP, New York, N Y (Philip E. Karmel of counsel), for respondents Heartland Business Center and Edgewood Land, LP.
Before: FRED T. SANTUCCI, J.P., SONDRA MILLER, NANCY E. SMITH, and STEPHEN G. CRANE, JJ.
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, with one bill of costs payable to the respondents appearing separately and filing separate briefs.
The Supreme Court properly dismissed the proceeding for failure to timely join the landowner as a necessary party (see, Matter of Artrip v. Incorporated Vil. of Piermont, 267 A.D.2d 457; see also, Matter of Saunders v. Graboski, 282 A.D.2d 610; Matter of Save-Our Open Space v. Planning Bd. of Vil. of S. Nyack, 256 A.D.2d 581; Matter of Kam Hampton I Realty Corp. v. Zagata, 251 A.D.2d 665).
The petitioners' remaining contentions are without merit (see, Serrone v. Jamaica Hosp., 239 A.D.2d 485).
