CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Good evening everyone and welcome to the Zoning Board of Appeal
Special Meeting for Thursday, April 15, 2021. This Special Meeting will be held virtually via the
Zoom on-line platform. Pursuant to Executive Order 202.1 of New York Governor Andrew
Cuomo's 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 not testimony will be solicited or received. Let's get on with the first matter that's before the
Board on the Agenda, is there any request from Board Members that you would like an item to
be posted on the next Agenda? Nope, okay. So then we have a Resolution to possibly close the
following hearing, ADF Ventures, LLC#7475. 1 believe we have received everything that we were
looking for. We were I believe waiting for a comment some information from the Board of Town
Trustees which we received so having received that I'm going to make a motion to close that
hearing, is there a second?
MEMBER PLANAMENTO : Second.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Seconded by Member Planamento. Kim could you call the roll please.
BOARD SECRETARY : Member Acampora how do you vote?
MEMBER ACAMPORA : Aye.
BOARD SECRETARY : Member Acampora votes aye. Member Dantes how do you vote?

MEMBER PLANAMENTO : Aye.
BOARD SECRETARY : Member Planamento votes aye. Chairperson Weisman how do you vote.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Aye.
BOARD SECRETARY : Chairperson Weisman votes aye.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : The motion carries unanimously. We do have a draft prepared
because we received what we needed in a timely way and so the first decision before us is for
ADF Ventures, LLC #7475. Everyone read it?
MEMBER ACAMPORA : Yes.
2
ZBA Special Meeting April 15, 2021
MEMBER PLANAMENTO : Kim if I could just maybe two quick corrections on it. It's a lengthy draft
as you know and I guess on page three there's just an "f" floating around at least on the version
I received. It's at the bottom margin there's just an "f'.
BOARD SECRETARY : I see it yes.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : I don't know where that came from it's just left over from the tracking
version.
BOARD SECRETARTY : Anything else? Oh you know where it came from, it came from Findings
and Facts if you look on page four
MEMBER PLANAMENTO : Oh right. One other thing, under Town Law number five one, two,
three it's the fourth line down it starts with, the applicant under building permit it says the
applicant under building and then number add the word permit.
I
BOARD SECRETARY : Okay gottcha.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : This is why we all have to proof read these very'carefully. By the time
these drafts gets written and re-written little dangling typos creep in and We don't want anything
like that in these decisions. Okay well Nick since you're talking do you want to give us the salient
points about this application, review it for the Board and for the public record.
MEMBER PLANAMENTO : Absolutely. So it's a .67 acre 29,000 sq. ft. waterfront lot located on
Soundview Ave. It's accessed by a right of way to access the home lot where there's actually a
house currently under construction with an open building permit. The applicant is seeking relief
to have an in-ground swimming pool on the water side of the residence where the pool measures
16 feet by 32 feet and there's a large terrace surrounding it also on the water side. The request
was to have the swimming pool placed at 73.2 feet from the top of the bluff where the code
requires a minimum setback of 100 feet from the bluff. I would just want to also point out that
there is a discrepancy made in the original Notice of Disapproval where the survey erroneously
or the survey submitted had the proposed pool 65 feet from the top of the bluff and it was revised
to illustrate 74.6 but then during the Public Hearing if you all remember, it was discussed that
there's actually a corner of the pool was closer to the bluff than that at 73.2 feet.So we discussed
it, we did not believe as a Board that an updated or a corrected Notice of Disapproval was
needed. It's in error that
MEMBER LEHNERT : Nick's frozen.
MEMBER DANTES : Yeah there was a little power surge for me too.
MEMBER LEHNERT : I thought I just saw lightning.
3
ZBA Special Meeting April 15, 2021
MEMBER DANTES : Maybe that's it. Leslie too, I guess it's that area. Kim, Kim
MEMBER LEHNERT : Kim's frozen.
MEMBER ACAMPORA : Wow. We can't do anything we have to wait, Leslie's gone.
MEMBER LEHNERT : Oh Pat you're the host now it says.
MEMBER ACAMPORA : Is Eric frozen too?
MEMBER DANTES : No I'm here.
MEMBER ACAMPORA : Let's see what goes on. I'm sure Kim is working furiously.
BOARD SECRETARY : I have Leslie on the phone.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : I'm going to keep trying. If you can just read me I'm going to have to
be one of those people without a face. I'm going to see by any miracle it says I'm no,
disconnected.
BOARD SECRETARY : Just so you know we're still recording Leslie and we're still also public.
MEMBER LEHNERT : Can we go on just the four of us right now?
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN :That's fine, I'm just trying to find the I'm hoping it will reconnect itself
because I've checked every one of my settings and I can't figure out how to get the Wi-Fi back. I
mean my computer is up but I can't get the if I can't get the Wi-Fi connection I'm not going to be
able to reconnect. We can continue to conduct the meeting.
MEMBER LEHNERT : There goes Nick. Let's keep moving.
BOARD SECRETARY : Liz why don't you call Nick and see if we can hear him on the phone.
MEMBER DANTES : Nick can just dial in from the cell phone.
BOARD SECRETARY : Nick's back.
MEMBER DANTES : Nick while we have you just keep going with your synapsis and let's just
MEMBER PLANAMENTO : So I think we were speaking about ADF Ventures where it's an
application for a swimming pool 16 by 32 feet on the waterside of the residence. The submitted
survey did not illustrate a non-disturbance buffer which exists on the site which is recorded at
the County Clerk's Office relative to the C&R's for the development. Prior relief was also granted
for the right of way allowing access to this lot so that it can be developed over the neighboring
residence to the south. The applicant at the Board's request submitted five prior decisions
4
ZBA Special Meeting April 15, 2021
granting relief where they included a cover letter to support their case and three of those
decisions unfortunately were for swimming pools other than waterside locations. Two were for
a side yard location, one was for a front yard location and the two other decisions additionally
one that was remotely similar. In either case the draft decision as written is for a denial for the
variance as applied for. So I would like to make a motion to deny the variance as applied for.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Is there any discussion?
MEMBER LEHNERT : No.
MEMBER PLANAMENTO : I think we've all read the decision.
MEMBER ACAMPORA : We've read the decision.
BOARD SECRETARY : Who seconded it?
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Rob did. Kim would you call the roll.
BOARD SECRETARY : Member Acampora how do you vote?
MEMBER ACAMPORA : Aye.
BOARD SECRETARY : Member Acampora votes aye. Member Dantes how do you vote?
MEMBER DANTES : Aye.
BOARD SECRETARY : Member Dantes votes aye. Member Lehnert how do you vote?
MEMBER LEHNERT :Aye.
BOARD SECRETARY : Member Lehnert votes aye. Member Planamento how do you vote?
MEMBER PLANAMENTO : Aye.
BOARD SECRETARY : Member Planamento votes aye. Chairperson Weisman how do you vote.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN :Aye.
BOARD SECRETARY : Chairperson Weisman votes aye.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN :The motion carries unanimously. Let's move on to the second decision
that's in front of us and that is for Emily Miller #7476. Eric will you do the review on that
for the Board please.
5
ZBA Special Meeting April 15, 2021
MEMBER DANTES : Emily Miller is a waterfront property where they're allowed to put the
swimming pool in the front yard and when they put the pool in the front yard they ended up with
a fence that was 5 feet in height where they're only supposed to have 4 feet in height maximum.
It's a sloping property and they just having trouble maintain the 4 feet in height because they
need to have at least 4 feet in height for the pool fence and most 4 feet in height to maintain to
meet the town code and so it conforms to the character of the neighborhood because it's setback
from the street by about 140 feet and it's hardly seen from the street. (inaudible)to the applicant
they really don't have an alternative because it's a slope and they had to maintain that 4 feet
height and so going over by about a foot is reasonable. It's mathematically substantial because
it's a 25%variance but it only runs across a small section of the front yard and there's no impacts
to storm water management and so I would make the motion to grant as applied for. The only
change I would make is in town law iii, it says 100% relief from the code but it's really 25%.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Where are we Eric?
BOARD SECRETARY : Town Law III he wants to change the percentage of the relief from 100 to
25.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Why is that?
MEMBER DANTES : Well I mean you're allowed four feet, they applied for 5.2 so wouldn't that
be 25 or 28%?
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : No it would still be 100% because they are beyond what the code
permits period. Anything over 4 feet is not permitted it's (inaudible) complete relief.
MEMBER DANTES : Oh okay.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : So I think it's probably accurate. Alright so are you making a motion
then to grant it?
MEMBER DANTES : Yep I made the motion.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Alright is there a second on that motion?
MEMBER PLANAMENTO : I'll second.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Seconded by Nick, would you call the roll please Kim.
BOARD SECRETARY : Member Acampora how do you vote?
MEMBER ACAMPORA : Aye.
BOARD SECRETARY : Member Acampora votes aye. Member Dantes how do you vote?

ZBA Special Meeting April 15, 2021
MEMBER DANTES : Aye.
BOARD SECRETARY : Member Dantes votes aye. Member Lehnert how do you vote?
MEMBER LEHNERT : Aye.
BOARD SECRETARY : Member Lehnert votes aye. Member Planamento how do you vote?
MEMBER PLANAMENTO : Aye.
BOARD SECRETARY : Member Planamento votes aye. Chairperson Weisman how do you vote.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN :Aye.
BOARD SECRETARY : Chairperson Weisman votes aye.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : The motion carries unanimously. The next application before the
Board is for Mary McKay#7478. Everybody got that one, you got it in front of you?
MEMBER ACAMPORA : Yep.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Pat do you want to give us a synapsis of the application.
MEMBER ACAMPORA :The applicant requests a variance to construct a front porch addition that
would measure 6 feet by 21 feet. It's an area of 126 sq. ft. attached to the dwelling. This house
was built with the required front yard setback so that's basically why a variance request is needed
here and the house was built with really no front door. So the applicant would like the house
number one to have a front door entrance so it's aesthetically looks like the rest of the houses in
the neighborhood and there are houses in the neighborhood who do have a setback of less than
the required 55 feet.So I make the motion to grant the variance as applied for with the condition
that the proposed covered front porch shall remain open and non-habitable space.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Okay so we have a motion, is there a second or is there discussion by
anyone?
MEMBER DANTES : I'll second.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Seconded by Eric, call the roll please.
BOARD SECRETARY : Member Acampora how do you vote?
MEMBER ACAMPORA : Aye.
BOARD SECRETARY : Member Acampora votes aye. Member Dantes how do you vote?

MEMBER DANTES : Aye.
BOARD SECRETARY : Member Dantes votes aye. Member Lehnert how do you vote?
MEMBER LEHNERT : Aye.
BOARD SECRETARY : Member Lehnert votes aye. Member Planamento how do you vote?
MEMBER PLANAMENTO : Aye.
BOARD SECRETARY : Member Planamento votes aye. Chairperson Weisman how do you vote.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Aye.
BOARD SECRETARY : Chairperson_Weisman votes aye.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : The motion carries unanimously. The next application is for Kevin
and Christine Meyers #7479. This one is the one on Peconic Lane. Eric can you give us
a synapsis please.
MEMBER DANTES : This is an application for a non-conforming setback for a garage as well as a
non-conforming side yard setback for an accessory shed. It's a long narrow property and they're
supposed to have a 20 foot setback for the garage and a 20 foot side yard setback for the shed
and the garage being like 4 feet and the shed they have about 11 feet and the garage has been
there for a long time at least since 1971 and was built under an older section of the code. As far
as character of the neighborhood it doesn't affect the character of the neighborhood cause the
house doesn't have any real neighbors. It's bordered by a farm and by a park and the non-
conformities is in part due to the just the narrowness of the property. So I make the motion to
grant the application as applied for.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Alright we have a motion, is there a second?
MEMBER LEHNERT : Second.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Seconded by Member Lehnert. Kim call the roll.
BOARD SECRETARY : Member Acampora how do you vote?
MEMBER ACAMPORA : Aye.
BOARD SECRETARY : Member Acampora votes aye. Member Dantes how do you vote?

BOARD SECRETARY : Member Lehnert votes aye. Member Planamento how do you vote?
MEMBER PLANAMENTO : Aye.
BOARD SECRETARY : Member Planamento votes aye. Chairperson Weisman how do you vote.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Aye.
BOARD SECRETARY : Chairperson Weisman votes aye.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : The motion carries unanimously. The next one is Jessica and
William Macomber #7480. This is the one on Deep Hole Drive in Mattituck. Rob would
you give us the review.
MEMBER LEHNERT : This property is a technical demolition.They removed a bunch of the house
without a permit, had a Stop Work Order because it's more than fifty percent. The Building
Department is calling it a demolition so therefore the setback in question is to an existing part of
the house that's going to remain in the new construction but it's still 12.6% relief from the code
but it's not going to change the character of the neighborhood and like I said it's a technical
demolition. The following conditions, the wood deck should remain,uncovered and unenclosed
and the proposed covered porch again shall remain unenclosed, unconditioned space and non-
habitable. So I propose to grant the variance as applied for.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Alright, any discussion by anyone? Okay so is there a second on that
motion?
MEMBER ACAMPORA : Second.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Okay Pat seconds the motion. Kim call the roll please.
BOARD SECRETARY : Member Acampora how do you vote?
MEMBER ACAMPORA : Aye.
BOARD SECRETARY : Member Acampora votes aye. Member Dantes how do you vote?
MEMBER DANTES : Aye.
BOARD SECRETARY : Member Dantes votes aye. Member Lehnert how do you vote?

ZBA Special Meeting April 15,, 2021
BOARD SECRETARY : Member Lehnert votes aye. Member Planamento how do you vote?
MEMBER PLANAMENTO : Aye.
BOARD SECRETARY : Member Planamento votes aye. Chairperson Weisman how do you vote.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN :Aye.
BOARD SECRETARY : Chairperson Weisman votes aye.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : The motion carries. Moving on to the application for Isaac Israel
and Jonathan Divello #7481, this is a property in Greenport (inaudible) residential
property. Pat can you review and summarize the draft decision for us please.
MEMBER ACAMPORA :Sure,the applicant requests a variance to make additions and alterations
to an existing single family dwelling. This is a house that is located on a corner lot in Greenport
and where the code states that property in the vicinity of improved with principle buildings in
front yards less than the required provisions so they need a variance because the average setback
on Eighth St. is 24.8 feet and where the code is required 35 feet.They're looking to build a second
story with renovations on the first floor so they are staying within the footprint of the dwelling.
The property across the street to the south is zoned industrial. There are other homes in the
neighborhood that also have setbacks that are less than the required 35 feet. So I move to grant
the variance as applied for subject to the conditions that we have where it states that an applicant
who has to read the determination, it talks about the Building Department if it becomes a
demolition. It's a regular template that we have of a condition when someone is doing a project
like this.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Okay, so do you make the motion to grant?
MEMBER ACAMPORA : Grant as applied for yes.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Is there a second on that motion?
MEMBER LEHNERT : Second.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Does anyone want to talk about this at all?
MEMBER ACAMPORA : Nope.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Okay, we have a motion and a second by Member Lehnert. Kim call
the roll please.
BOARD SECRETARY : Member Acampora how do you vote?

ZBA Special Meeting April 15, 2021

MEMBER PLANAMENTO : Aye.
BOARD SECRETARY : Member Planamento votes aye. Chairperson Weisman how do you vote.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Aye.
BOARD SECRETARY : Chairperson Weisman votes aye.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : The motion carries. Let's move on to the next one, Mattituck
2012, LLC ##7483 on Route 25 in Cutchogue. Rob can you summarize this one for us.
MEMBER LEHNERT : This is the exact same application that we got in November of 2017. The
applicant allowed the permit and the variance to elapses so they came back with the exact same
thing. We basically wrote it up the exact same way with conditions, they must obtain a site plan
approval from the Town Planning Board. Should we put the demolition language in here. I think
it was there when I originally wrote this draft.
BOARD SECRETARY :The Notice of Disapproval has the demolition.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : It's not in there because yes it's no longer additions and alterations as
the original one was. It is considered a demolition. We were told that they want to try and
preserve some of it and the architect (inaudible)
MEMBER LEHNERT: Okay yea so the one condition that they get Planning Board approval. So this
was written to grant the variance as applied for.
MEMBER DANTES : I'll second.
BOARD SECRETARY : I think we just lost Leslie. I'm going to try to call Leslie to see if she picks up.
MEMBER LEHNERT : Let's carry on.
11
ZBA Special Meeting April 15, 2021
MEMBER PLANAMENTO : It was seconded by Eric and then Liz began to call the roll and Pat was
about to respond.
BOARD SECRETARY : Here we go, hold on. Hi Leslie we lost you.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Alright where did we leave off?
MEMBER DANTES : Kim was going to call the roll.
BOARD SECRETARY : We had a motion from Rob and a second from Eric.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : So do the roll call.
Member Acampora how do you vote?
MEMBER ACAMPORA : Aye.
BOARD SECRETARY : Member Acampora votes aye. Member Dantes how do you vote?
MEMBER DANTES : Aye.
BOARD SECRETARY : Member Dantes votes aye. Member Lehnert how do you vote?
MEMBER LEHNERT : Aye.
BOARD SECRETARY : Member Lehnert votes aye. Member Planamento how do you vote?
MEMBER PLANAMENTO : Aye.
BOARD SECRETARY : Member Planamento votes aye. Chairperson Weisman how do you vote.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN :Aye.
BOARD SECRETARY : Chairperson Weisman votes aye.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : The motion carries. The next application is for Thomas and
Michelle Hart, Deep Roots Farm, LLC #7485. Pat can you review that for us please.
MEMBER ACAMPORA : The applicant is requesting a variance to convert an existing accessory
farm building into an accessory agricultural production building. The required minimum setback
by code is 25 feet,the structure that is existing has a setback of 17.8 feet from the property line.
The applicants were granted a building permit in 2017 to convert an existing garage into a farm
stand and all the existing buildings on the property were given a Certificate of Occupancy in 2005.
So this is merely taking an existing building and using it for farm production for an established
farm by the applicants. So I make a motion to grant the variance as applied for.
12
ZBA Special Meeting April 15, 2021
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Alright, is there a second to that motion?
MEMBER LEHNERT : Second.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Alright, call the roll please.

BOARD SECRETARY : Member Planamento votes aye. Chairperson Weisman how do you vote.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Aye.
BOARD SECRETARY : Chairperson Weisman votes aye.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN :The motion carries. Let's move on to the next one is for an accessory
apartment in an accessory structure, Joshua Skrezec and Julie Rompel #7482. Eric
can you summarize this one please.
MEMBER DANTES : Sure. This is just an application for their mother/mother-in-law to live in the
accessory apartment in existing garage and in the application the size of the garage is 753 sq. ft.
where the code only requires 750 but the extra 3 sq. ft. is deminimus and so they meet all of the
criteria including (inaudible) meet the criteria for the Special Exception. So I make a motion to
grant the application as applied for.
C BOARD SECRETARY : Member Acampora how do you vote?
MEMBER ACAMPORA : Aye.
BOARD SECRETARY : Member Acampora votes aye. Member Dantes how do you vote?

MEMBER PLANAMENTO : Aye.
BOARD SECRETARY : Member Planamento votes aye. Chairperson Weisman how do you vote.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Aye.
BOARD SECRETARY : Chairperson Weisman votes aye.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : The motion carries. The last application is for Byron Elmendorf
#7484 on Bray Ave. in Mattituck. Nick can you please do a little review of this for us.
MEMBER PLANAMENTO : Absolutely. Like the last application this is for a Special Exception for
an accessory apartment in an accessory structure. The applicant recently purchased the
residence and the residence had an existing apartment over the two car garage. Previously that
apartment was granted a Special Exception use as an accessory apartment and the applicant
wished to legalize it. During the public hearing the applicant indicated that they do not have a
tenant in mind for the space but that they would work with the Government Liaison Officer to
select a tenant from the Southold Town Affordable Housing Registry for placement in the unit
and the unit conforms on all levels to the code. What I would like to do is to present a motion to
grant the Special Exception as requested subject to and there's several conditions. Most of them
are boiler plate which are part of any Special Exception, however I would just add or like to
request that the Board decide to add that the applicant should submit a notarized affidavit to the
Zoning Board of Appeals Office stating that the unit will in fact be rented to a resident who is
currently on the Southold Town Affordable Housing Registry. Additionally that the applicant
when they select a tenant from that registry to get a letter from the Town Government Liaison
Officer and send it to the Zoning Board of Appeals to illustrate that a tenant was selected and a
lease was completed.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Sounds good. Any discussion on this one?
MEMBER PLANAMENTO : No discussion.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Okay hearing none I'll ask if there's a second on this motion?
MEMBER LEHNERT : Second.
CHAIRPERSON WEISMAN : Kim would you call the roll please.
