—Proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 to review a determination of the respondent Board of Review of the Suffolk County Department of Health Services, dated April 22, 1991, which, after a hearing, denied the petitioners’ application for a *460variance from the minimum lot size requirements of the Suffolk County Sanitary Code.

Adjudged that the determination is confirmed and the proceeding is dismissed on the merits, with costs.

In addition, we note that pursuant to Suffolk County Sanitary Code, article 6, § 760-609 (1) (b), "[ejconomic injury alone cannot provide the basis for a variance or waiver from this article”. Bracken, J. P., Miller, Copertino, Santucci and Altman, JJ., concur.
