MATTER OF SAVE OUR-OPEN SPACE v. PLANNING BD

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.

Since the petitioners failed to join the landowner, a necessary party to the proceeding, the court properly dismissed the proceeding ( see, CPLR 1001 [a]; Matter of Kam Hampton I Realty Corp. v. Zagata, 251 A.D.2d 665; Matter of Baker v. Town of Roxbury, 220 A.D.2d 961, 963; see also, Matter of Llana v. Town of Pittstown, 234 A.D.2d 881, 884).

The petitioners' remaining contentions are without merit.

Bracken, J. P., Ritter, Copertino and Florio, JJ., concur.
