Before: DAVID S. RITTER, J.P., HOWARD MILLER, SANDRA J. FEUERSTEIN, NANCY E. SMITH, JJ.


DECISION ORDER

ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.

Since the petitioners obtained all the relief sought from the respondent Town of Washington Zoning Board of Appeals (hereinafter the ZBA), i.e., revocation of the building permit, the Supreme Court correctly denied the petition and dismissed the proceeding on the ground that they are not aggrieved by the determination of the ZBA (see, Parochial Bus Systems v. Board of Educ. of City of N Y, 60 N.Y.2d 539; Matter of New York Cent. Mut. Ins. Co. v. Johnson, 260 A.D.2d 638).

In any event, the determination of the ZBA had a rational basis and is supported by substantial evidence (see, Matter of Fuhst v. Foley, 45 N.Y.2d 441, 444).
