ZBA Special Meeting March 18, 2021
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Good evening everyone and welcome to the meeting of the Zoning
Board of Appeals for March 18th. This Special Meeting will be held virtually via the Zoom online
platform. Pursuant to Executive Order 202.1 of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in person
access by the public will not be permitted. The public will have access to view and listen to the
meeting as it is happening via Zoom. However, this meeting is not a public hearing and no
testimony will be solicited or received from anyone in attendance. Okay having said that the
Executive session has been held. Is there any item a Board Member would like to add to a future
agenda? No, okay. We have a request for an extension but that's at the end it's on the work
session, the resolution is at the end of the meeting so let's just get right down to the possible
resolutions to close hearings. Regarding Vincent Bertault #7467 and Vincent
Bertault #7468SE.The Board has received lots of information from the applicant's attorney
which we appreciate and from the applicant. We've examined the Certificate of Appropriateness
and its appeal to the Town Board for the denial and because we really can't tell what this thing
is going to eventually look like, until such time that matter is resolved I'm going to suggest that
we simply adjourn both of those without a date until such time as the attorney can indicate to us
that the matter has been resolved successfully and a Certificate of Appropriateness is issued by
the HPC on both the subject dwelling and the subject barn.There was a prior C of A on the barn
however it would appear that HPC needs to look at the current plans because they are not in the
same fenestration and so on as what was previously approved so we'll be in touch with the
applicant's attorney. I'm going to make a motion on both of those to adjourn without a date
subject to a determination by the HPC regarding a Certificate of Appropriateness for both
structures. Is there a second on that?
MEMBER LEHNERT : Second.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Seconded by Member Lehnert. Liz would you please call the roll.
OFFICE ASSISTANT SAKARELLOS : Member Acampora how do you vote?

vote?
MEMBER PLANAMENTO : Aye.
OFFICE ASSISTANT SAKARELLOS : Member Planamento votes aye. Chairperson Weisman how do
you vote?
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Aye.
OFFICE ASSISTANT SAKARELLOS : Chairperson Weisman votes aye.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : The motion carries unanimously. The next one is for Michael
Kreger #7470. This was adjourned from the March 4th meeting. An interior inspection was
conducted today by the Building Department and the Vice Chair Member Planamento and I think
at this point we probably have everything that we need in order to make a decision. Does the
rest of the Board agree?
MEMBER PLANAMENTO :Yes.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Okay so then with that in mind I'm going to make a motion to close
the hearing reserve decision to a later date. Is there a second?
MEMBER DANTES : Second.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Seconded by Member Dantes, Liz call the roll please.
OFFICE ASSISTANT SAKARELLOS : Member Acampora how do you vote?

ZBA Special Meeting March 18, 2021
OFFICE ASSISTANT SAKARELLOS : Member Planamento votes aye. Chairperson Weisman how do
you vote?
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN :Aye.
OFFICE ASSISTANT SAKARELLOS : Chairperson Weisman votes aye.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : The motion carries unanimously. I see that Eric Bressler has his hand
raised but I have to say that we can't discuss anything with any of the attendees. As you know
it's not a hearing so if Eric if you have any questions perhaps you can give the office a call
tomorrow and we can take it from there. So the next possible close is Suffolk County
Energy Storage 11, LLC #7463SE,this was adjourned from March 4t". We just received
literally at the last minute a very substantive letter from the Group for the East End literally a
couple of hours ago. Board Members have not had a chance to review it, the public hasn't had a
chance and as importantly Mr. Losquadro has not had a chance to look at it and make comments
in writing if he chooses to do so or comments before the Board at a hearing if he chooses that.
So based upon that I think what we need to do is simply adjourn to April 11t to give everyone
involved an opportunity to read this very detailed letter which I certainly have not had a chance
to digest. You've all gotten a copy right, Board members yeah? Okay. I think that that's really the
appropriate thing to do is let everybody make the comments they wish to about that and us too
we need to really look at it carefully and consider what's in that. I don't know if the Board wants
to entertain this, Mr. Losquadro was saying he's asking that we close the hearing now and he can
explain why that is his request. We really don't take testimony or discuss things with applicants
at this public meeting but it's an opportunity for them to hear us deliberate. I think that's
probably the prudent thing to abide by. Does the Board have any other thoughts about that that
we should talk about? I'm not hearing anything but I think we have to because otherwise we're
just letting ourselves open to just then why don't you want to talk to me and why can't you
answer that we just can't do that. I'm sorry about that but that is the proper thing to do.
MEMBER DANTES : Leslie, the only thing I would maybe we can make a deadline that if anyone
wants to comment they have a week to do so because I don't want to get another letter five
minutes before the next hearing and say no we can't close it again.
MEMBER ACAMPORA :That's a good idea.
MEMBER ACAMPORA : I agree.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Alright that's fine. We can leave this open for written submission by
anyone else within one week from today.
MEMBER PLANAMENTO : Do you want to make it through next Friday?
4
ZBA Special Meeting March 18, 2021
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Okay that's fine.
MEMBER PLANAMENTO : Next Friday is the 26th of March.
MEMBER DANTES :Then Mr. Losquadro will have a couple of-days to respond.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Exactly and we'll put it on for possible close on April 11t
MEMBER PLANAMENTO : And anything must be received by the office by staff no later than 4
p.m. so it's a clear cutoff.
MEMBER LEHNERT: End of business.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : So my motion then is to adjourn application #7463SE to April 11t with
the public and any other concerned individual submitting comments in writing regarding this
application no later than March 26th at 4 p.m. Is there a second on that motion?
MEMBER ACAMPORA : I'll second that.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Seconded by Member Acampora. Liz call the roll please.
OFFICE ASSISTANT SAKARELLOS : Member Acampora how do you vote?

ZBA Special Meeting March 18, 2021
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : The motion carries unanimously. We are now on the section of the
draft decisions and we will be deliberating on seven this evening, Brodsky, DiMeglio, Drummond,
Cottage on Third, Zappulla, Carney and Briggs. Let's take a look at everybody have application
from Jim Brodsky #7466. It's an application on Pequash,we have a draft here. Pat do you
want to maybe you can summarize a couple of these points here.
MEMBER ACAMPORA :Sure,the applicant requested a variance to construct an accessory garage
in conjunction with a new family dwelling and the configuration would put the garage in the side
yard instead of being located in the code required rear yard. Unfortunately the plans shows that
a 180 sq. ft. breezeway connecting the front yard to the back yard with a roof line contiguous to
the dwelling over the breezeway to the garage.The town code does not allow a breezeway to be
more than 6 feet or larger than 80 sq.ft.So due to the requested oversized breezeway the garage
then becomes an accessory structure in the side yard and that's not permitted by code. When
we had the public hearing we asked the applicant if there was any way they would want to
reconfigure this plan to comply with the code. At that time the applicant said they weren't
prepared to do that so I move that we deny the application.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Any comments or questions or suggested changes to the draft? Okay
hearing nothing from the Board we have a motion for denial, is there a second?
MEMBER LEHNERT : Second.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Seconded by Member Lehnert. Call the roll please Liz.
OFFICE ASSISTANT SAKARELLOS : Member Acampora how do you vote?
MEMBER ACAMPORA : Aye.
OFFICE ASSISTANT SAKARELLOS : Member Acampora votes aye. Member Dantes how do you
vote?
MEMBER DANTES :Aye.
OFFICE ASSISTANT SAKARELLOS : Member Dantes votes aye. Member Lehnert how do you vote?
MEMBER LEHNERT : Aye.
OFFICE ASSISTANT SAKARELLOS : Member Lehnert votes aye. Member Planamento how do you
vote?
MEMBER PLANAMENTO : Aye.
6
ZBA Special Meeting March 18, 2021
OFFICE ASSISTANT SAKARELLOS : Member Planamento votes aye. Chairperson Weisman how do
you vote?
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Aye.
OFFICE ASSISTANT SAKARELLOS : Chairperson Weisman votes aye.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : The motion carries unanimously. The next application is file #7469
Samuel J. DiMeglio Jr. on Deep Hole Drive in Mattituck. This is for a combined side yard
setback and a front yard setback. Eric do you want to summarize this for us.
MEMBER DANTES : Sure,this was basically a house that was tear down or a vacant lot two years
ago and they made an application to the Building Department for a building permit to build a
house which was granted and they're in the process of building the house and now they want to
add a covered porch but the problem is they've already used up the front yard setback and they
already have the minimum 35 foot setback and the covered porch would extend past that. So the
covered porch is characteristic of the neighborhood non-conforming front yard setbacks are not
characteristic of the neighborhood. They had other designs they could have done when they
designed the house to be code conforming and so I make the motion to deny the front yard
setback. It looks like when they were building they might have poured the foundation a little bit
too close to the side yard line and as it's only a matter of a couple of inches I make the motion to
grant the non-conforming side yard setback.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : The combined side yard setbacks of 24.1 feet instead of 25. Okay so
we have a deny in part and grant in part.
MEMBER DANTES : I would like to add one more condition to it, that they submit a survey
showing the exact side yard setback on the house without the front covered porch so we know
exactly what it is cause if you look at the survey they submitted it shows the distance to the
covered porch but it doesn't show the distance to the house itself.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN :They could probably just add that to the-existing survey,that shouldn't
be too egregious. Is everybody okay with that just so we confirm that it's 24.1 combined right?
MEMBER LEHNERT : Yes.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : With the house without
MEMBER DANTES : Showing what the side yard setbacks to the house are cause this survey is
tough to scale that they gave and it shows the dimension to that covered porch not to the house.
7
ZBA Special Meeting March 18,2021
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : I don't know exactly how I guess the Building Department determined
in their Notice of Disapproval that that was the case but it's not shown on that survey. I'm not
sure there was no foundation plan I looked for it.
MEMBER DANTES :There was no foundation survey so they never submitted it.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN :So I'm goingto write down the applicant shall submit a survey showing
the combined side yard setbacks without the proposed front porch. Does that work?
MEMBER DANTES : Yes.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Alright so we have a motion, is there a second?
MEMBER ACAMPORA : Second.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Seconded by Member Acampora. Liz would you call the roll please.
OFFICE ASSISTANT SAKARELLOS : Member Acampora how do you vote?
MEMBER ACAMPORA :Aye.
OFFICE ASSISTANT SAKARELLOS : Member Acampora votes aye. Member Dantes how do you

MEMBER PLANAMENTO : Aye.
OFFICE ASSISTANT SAKARELLOS : Member Planamento votes aye. Chairperson Weisman how do
you vote?
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN :Aye.
OFFICE ASSISTANT SAKARELLOS : Chairperson Weisman votes aye.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : The motion carries. Liz I'll make that change on my draft and send it
to you for printing on letterhead. The next one is for Robert and Donna Drummond
#7471 on Private Rd. #12 in Southold. This is a relief for legalizing as built deck addition with
8
ZBA Special Meeting March 18, 2021
hot tub and existing single family dwelling having a side yard setback of 8.1 feet where the code
requires a minimum of 10 feet and legalizing an as built accessory shed in the front yard. This is
a waterfront property. Pat you want to summarize a couple of points.
MEMBER ACAMPORA : In the case of the applicant who are new owners to this property, in 1975
the Zoning Board approved a shed variance for the location of the shed in the front yard to a
previous owner and in 1990 the same previous owners were granted a variance for the second
story deck and it was approved by the Southold Trustees to the required setback and the decks
and the hot tub from the existing bulkhead that they receive that. Based upon the information
the shed is quite old and it really it's been there for a long time, it's kind of dwarfed by the
neighbor's large garage and the screening that's on the property so I move to grant the variance
as applied for with the conditions that the second story deck shall remain open to the sky and
unenclosed. Number two,the first floor deck shall remain unenclosed and number three, should
the shed in the front yard need to be replaced the applicant shall locate any new shed in a
conforming location on the property.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Okay that says it all. Any discussion by the Board Members or
proposed changes?
MEMBER LEHNERT : Nope.
MEMBER PLANAMENTO : Second.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Okay, we have a motion to grant subject to conditions and seconded
by Member Planamento. Liz would you please read the roll.
OFFICE ASSISTANT SAKARELLOS : Member Acampora how do you vote?
MEMBER ACAMPORA :Aye.
OFFICE ASSISTANT SAKARELLOS : Member Acampora votes aye. Member Dantes how do you

OFFICE ASSISTANT SAKARELLOS : Member Dantes votes aye. Member Lehnert how do you vote?
MEMBER LEHNERT : Aye.
OFFICE ASSISTANT SAKARELLOS : Member Lehnert votes aye. Member Planamento how do you
vote?
MEMBER PLANAMENTO : Aye.

ZBA Special Meeting March 18, 2021
OFFICE ASSISTANT SAKARELLOS : Member Planamento votes aye. Chairperson Weisman how do
you vote?
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Aye.
OFFICE ASSISTANT SAKARELLOS : Chairperson Weisman votes aye.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN :The motion carries. Now we have application #7472 Cottage on
Third, LLC on Third St. in New Suffolk. This is an application for the construction of a
garage/pool house that will result in a lot coverage of 22.91%where the code permits a maximum
lot coverage of 20%. Eric would you walk us through this one.
MEMBER DANTES :Sure,this was basically a house that was applied for a new building permit to
tear down the old structures on the property and build a brand new house. It did come for
variance review maybe two years ago and the Zoning Board at the time denied the request for
the increased lot coverage but we did approve a request for a non-conforming setback. So the
applicant has built the house, built a swimming pool and nearly maxed up their lot coverage so
now they're making a second request for increased lot coverage.The applicant did submit several
past variances that we granted however those other variances they were mitigating factors for
the increased lot coverage or a pre-existing history of a non-conforming increased lot coverage.
None of them were for a brand new house on a new construction property and the reality is the
zoning code was written and it allows for smaller houses on small pieces of property which this
is. So I make the motion to deny the variance as applied for.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Are there any comments or questions or discussions from Board
Members? I do want point out that the Board took a great deal of time as did the applicant's
agent in submitting priors and we went through every single one of them and we weren't really
able in this decision to distinguish those prior decisions for approval from the particular subject
application before us. So there's a good deal of thought that went into all of this. Anything else
from the Board?
MEMBER ACAMPORA : No
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : We have a motion to deny, is there a second?
MEMBER ACAMPORA : I'll second.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Seconded by Member Acampora. Liz call the roll please.
OFFICE ASSISTANT SAKARELLOS : Member Acampora how do you vote?
MEMBER ACAMPORA : Aye.

OFFICE ASSISTANT SAKARELLOS : Member Lehnert votes aye. Member Planamento how do you
vote?
MEMBER PLANAMENTO : Aye.
OFFICE ASSISTANT SAKARELLOS : Member Planamento votes aye. Chairperson Weisman how do
you vote?
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Aye.
OFFICE ASSISTANT SAKARELLOS : Chairperson Weisman votes aye.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : The motion carries unanimously. The next application is for #7473
David Zappulla on Linnet St. in Greenport. It's variance to demolish and reconstruct a single
family dwelling with a front yard setback of 15.3 feet where 35 minimum is required and a 26.9%
lot coverage where a maximum of 20% is required. Rob walk us through some of these but I will
say it's really not a demolition.
MEMBER LEHNERT : It's a technical demolition, they're adding a second floor to the house and
demolishing enough of the first floor to kick it into the demo category. It's an existing building
with a PreCO and also a legal garage with a legal apartment with a PreCO in the back. The basis
of the construction is basically a second floor so the setbacks remain the same where the existing
house is and the same with the lot coverage. It's not changing from what's there. It's basically a
second floor addition.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : It's a substantial renovation a big improvement.
MEMBER LEHNERT:Yes but we're not going outside the existing footprints. So I make the motion
to grant the variance as applied for.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Okay, so any discussion from the Board Members?
MEMBER ACAMPORA : Just a typo kind of a cleanup in property facts and description the third
line down where it runs 50. there's a space and then 11 feet so
11
ZBA Special Meeting March 18, 2021
MEMBER LEHNERT : Yeah it should be .11 the space needs to be taken out.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Remove space, okay thank you for catching that. We like them to be
perfect when possible.
MEMBER LEHNERT : Motion to grant.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Who seconded it?
MEMBER PLANAMENTO : Second.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Seconded by Member Planamento. Liz call the roll please.

CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Aye.
OFFICE ASSISTANT SAKARELLOS : Chairperson Weisman votes aye.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : The motion carries unanimously. The next one is #7474 .lames
and Laurie Carney on Fishers Island on Equestrian Ave. This is additions and alterations to
an existing single family dwelling located less than the code required minimum front yard setback
of 35 feet and minimum rear yard setback less than 35 feet. We had a really good presentation
by the agent on this that allowed us to understand what we were looking at. We're very grateful
to things like that because it's next to impossible for us to get over there so we always wind up
12
ZBA Special Meeting March 18, 2021
ask the Building Inspector to do it so it was pretty clear. Pat summarize some of this for us will
you.
MEMBER ACAMPORA : This is a very old home on Fishers Island as you said. The applicant's
representative gave us a very good background briefing and also a lovely picture of what the
home looked like and so they really were looking to do a lot and the Building Inspector did tell us
that they did when they went there they put a Stop Work Order because construction had started
without a permit so right now nothing is going on with the rest of the construction until we get
to the rest of this. There is some wetlands property on the applicant's property there that does
have to at least we should be paying attention to and they have said that they will stay away from
the wetlands and they will screen it and make sure that the proper drainage will be away from
that wetland part.So I move to grant the variance as applied for with the conditions that the new
open porch shall remain open and unenclosed and that the covered porch in the rear shall remain
unenclosed and uninhabitable, so moved.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Okay, is there a second to that motion?
MEMBER LEHNERT : Second.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Seconded by Member Lehnert. Liz call the roll please.

13
ZBA Special Meeting March 18, 2021
OFFICE ASSISTANT SAKARELLOS : Chairperson Weisman votes aye.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : The motion carries. Application #7477 Christopher and
Marian Briggs also in Fishers Island. Rob would you tell us a bit about this one.
MEMBER LEHNERT:This is an application to legalize two as built deck additions and an accessory
shed in the front yard. This is a basically triangular shaped lot with two front yards and really
anywhere on the site would require a variance.The decks are both first floor decks open to above
and according to the applicant they've been there for thirty plus years, the same with the shed
which is also screened from view. So this was written to grant the variance as applied for.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : That's strange, I mean there's houses there but there's also a lot
(inaudible) a church and it's more like a village green almost.
MEMBER LEHNERT : It's like a little downtown area.
MEMBER ACAMPORA : It's a very prominent area in•Fishers Island.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Yep. Okay so since we're able to see it so well based on that excellent
presentation so we have a motion to grant as applied for, there are conditions there's two
conditions. Those are fairly standard though and it's just applying for the Building Department
for as built improvements and obtaining a Certificate of Occupancy. So is there a second to that?
MEMBER ACAMPORA : Second.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Seconded by Member Acampora. Call the roll please Liz.
