MEETING OF OCTOBER 24, 2019
ZBA FIL #732 ##7329
NAME OF PPLI ANT: Elizabeth Thompson and Marianne Fahs

4.167 acres, and consist of two Suffolk County Tax Map identifications, where SCTM 1000-26-4-1 (also known as

62,097 square feet, 1.426 acre irregular shaped parcel located in the R-80 Zoning District and runs northeast from
the intersection with King Street 412.16 feet along a bend in Old Farm Road then runs south 299.50 feet along a

SCTm No. 1000-26-4-1 and 1000-27-3-4.1
May 20, 2019 and based on surveys prepared by Roderick van Tuyl, P.C., and dated March 22, 1985 and
September 18, 1989.
BASIS OF APPLICATION: Request for a Variance from Article XXII, Section 280-105 and the Building
Inspector's May 1, 2019, Notice of Disapproval based on an application to construct an 8 foot deer fence; at, 1)
more than the code required maximum 4 feet in height when located in the front yard; located at 1655 Old Farm
Road, Orient,NY. SCTM No. 1000-26-4-1 and Request for a Variance from Article XXII, Section 280-105 and the
Building Inspector's May 1, 2019,Notice of Disapproval based on an application to construct an 8 foot deer fence;
at, 1) more than the code required maximum 4 feet in height when located in the front yard; located at 1325 King
Street, Orient, NY. SCTM No. 1000-27-3-4.1.
RELIEF REQUESTED: The applicant requests variances to erect an 8 feet high deer fence behind an existing split
rail fence in a front yard where the code limits such fencing to 4 feet in height.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: A neighbor, further south on King Street, questioned the need for the deer
fence. SCTM lot 1000-26-4-1 is a non-conforming, residentially developed lot located in the R'=80 Zoning District
accessed via a circular drive entering and exiting from Old Farm Road. SCTM lot 1000-27-3-4.1 is a conforming,
undeveloped lot located in the R-80 Zoning District however, is deemed "OPEN SPACE" as identified in the
covenants and restrictions of the Kings Bay Estates Subdivision. As a result of the unique property boundaries of
the two adjacent lots and the convergence of two roads and a right of way, the applicant has three practical front
yards. The applicant, while not a farmer, is a prolific gardener and maintains a variety of fruit trees including apple
and cherry. The applicant stated that the apples grown on site are sold to a Brooklyn, NY producer of hard cider.
The applicant proposes to erect the deer fence to protect their crop, meeting a front yard set-back of at least 50 feet
running from the northeast side of the residence to the eastern lot line, and then following the lot line south and
crossing over onto the lot deemed "Open Space" then running west and crossing an existing access drive, then
following the northside of the access drive to King Street, then running behind the existing split-rail fence along
King Street to the intersection of Old Farm Road, at which point it crosses back onto the applicant's residentially
developed lot and continues behind the split-rail fence to the residential driveway and connecting with the West-
side of the house. The applicant indicates that they need to cross over the two lot lines in order to protect their
entire orchard and that they will not deer fence the majority of the "Open Space" parcel. The applicant submitted
documentation of neighboring agricultural properties in the immediate area that have deer fencing.
FINDINGS OF FACT/REASONS FOR BOARD ACTION:
The Zoning Board of Appeals held a public hearing on this application on October 10, 2019 at which time written
and oral evidence were presented. Based upon all testimony, documentation, personal inspection of the property
and surrounding neighborhood, and other evidence,the Zoning Board finds the following facts to be true and
relevant and makes the following findings:
1. Town Law $267-b(3)(b)(1). Grant of the variances will not produce an undesirable change in the character of
the neighborhood or a detriment to nearby properties. The immediate neighborhood surrounding the applicant's
residential property consists of larger residential lots, several of which are used agriculturally and currently
maintain deer fencing. Furthermore, the applicant is also the owner of an adjacent parcel which cannot be
developed with a single-family residence based on covenants and restrictions which require that it be maintained as
"open space." Relative to the "Open Space" requirements of the parcel, an orchard is in keeping with the spirit of
the original Kings Bay Estates subdivision and the proposed deer fencing to protect crops is characteristic of the
surrounding area.
Page 3, October 24,2019
#732$ Ს
SCTm No. 1000-26-4-1 and 1000-27-3-4.1
2. Town Law 4267-b(3)(b)(2). The benefit sought by the applicant cannot be achieved by some method, feasible
for the applicant to pursue, other than an area variance. In order for the applicant to protect their orchard from
deer,the only alternative is to partially enclose the parcels.
3. Town Law 4267-b(3)(b)(3). The variances granted herein are mathematically substantial, representing 100%
relief from the code. However, the applicant has indicated that they will not fence the entire "Open Space" parcel
and will respect the 50 feet principal front yard setback for the fencing on the northeast side of the residence.
4. Town Law X267-b(3)(b)(4). No evidence has been submitted to suggest that a variance in this residential
community will have an adverse impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood. The
applicant must comply with Chapter 236 of the Town's Storm Water Management Code.
5. Town Law 4267-b(3)(b)(5). The difficulty has been self-created. The applicant purchased the parcel after the
Zoning Code was in effect and it is presumed that the applicant had actual or constructive knowledge of the
limitations on the use of the parcel under the Zoning Code in effect prior to or at the time of purchase.
6. Town Law $267-b. Grant of the requested relief is the minimum action necessary and adequate to enable the
applicant to enjoy the benefit of a deer fence in the front yard while preserving and protecting the character of the
neighborhood and the health, safety and welfare of the community.
RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD: In considering all of the above factors and applying the balancing test under
New York Town Law 267-13, motion was offered by Member Planamento, seconded by Member Lehnert, and duly
carried, to
GRANT the variances as applied for, and shown on the site plan prepared by Elizabeth Thompson, Architect, and
dated May 20, 2019.
Any deviation from the survey, site plan and/or architectural drawings cited in this decision will result in delays
and/or a possible denial by the Building Department of a building permit, and may require a new application and
public hearing before the Zoning Board of Appeals.
Any deviation from the variance(s)granted herein as shown on the architectural drawings, site plan and/or survey
cited above, such as alterations, extensions, or demolitions, are not authorized under this application when
involving nonconformities under the zoning code. This action does not authorize or condone any current or future
use, setback or other feature of the subject property that may violate the Zoning Code, other than such uses,
setbacks and other features as are expressly addressed in this action. In the event that an approval is granted subject
to conditions, the approval shall not be deemed effective until the required conditions have been met; and failure to
comply therewith will render this approval null and void.
The Board reserves the right to substitute a similar design that is de minimis in nature for an alteration that does
not increase the degree of nonconformity
Pursuant to Chapter 280-146(B) of the Code of the Town of Southold any variance granted by the
Board of Appeals shall become null and void where a Certificate of Occupancy has not been
procured, and/or a subdivision map has not been filed with the Suffolk County Clerk,within three

(3)years from the date such variance was granted. The Board of Appeals may, upon written
request prior to the date of expiration, grant an extension not to exceed three (3) consecutive one
(1) year terms.
