Opinion
May 1, 1995
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Kohn, J.).
Ordered that the order and judgment is affirmed, with costs.
The petitioner failed to plead or prove the existence of practical difficulties demonstrating that he cannot utilize his property or the structure in question without coming into conflict with the zoning ordinance. The respondent, therefore, properly denied his application to amend a previously granted area variance (see, Matter of Fuhst v Foley, 45 N.Y.2d 441). Thompson, J.P., Santucci, Friedmann and Florio, JJ., concur.
