On review of submissions pursuant to section 500.11 of the Rules,
order reversed, with costs, and matter remitted to the Appellate
Division, Second Department, for consideration of issues raised
but not considered on the appeal to that court.  The Zoning
Board's determination, upholding the Planning Board's denial of a
building permit for petitioner to intensify an existing
nonconforming use, was not arbitrary, capricious, or contrary to
the Town Code (see generally Matter of Pecoraro v Board of
Appeals of Town of Hempstead, 2 NY3d 608, 612-613 [2004]).  Chief
Judge Lippman and Judges Ciparick, Graffeo, Read, Smith, Pigott
and Jones concur.
Decided January 12, 2010
