FOR/V! ZB4 Barbara C. Dittmann, Secretary After investigation and inspection theBoard finds that the appellant requests permission to retain more than one on premises ground sign. The Board finds that the appellant's business is made up of a number of separate operations, a retain garden center, and a nursery and landscape business, a retain florist and greenhouse which is located 1000 feet up Sterling Lane, however this is all on the appellant's own ~ property. The Board finds that sign number one is a general identification sign. Sign number two advertises the nursery and landscaping operation. This sign is located less than five feet from theproperty line. The sign number three is used as a special promotion sign in conjunction with the retail ~arden operation. If this sign was placed in a window it would not be ~isible to passing traffic. Sign number four is a directional sigm, on the appe~l~n~'~ ~wn property, used to apprais~ customers of the loaation of and the services and products _avai!abl~ at the greenhouse 1000 fee~ up ~terling Lane. The Board finds that all the signs are e~se~tial~ to the separate business conducted on the same parcel of land. The Board finds that the public convenience an~ w~lfare and justice will be served and the legally established or permitted use of neighborhobd~Property and adjoining use districts will not be permanently or substantially injured and the spirit of the Ordinance will be observed. Therefore, it was RESOLVED that William Sterling, a/c Sterling Nurseries, M~in Road, Cutchogue, New York, be granted permission to retain more than one ground sign on property located on the north side Main Road, Cutchogue, New York, as applied for on the application to the Board of Appeals, application dated November 23, 1966, subject to the following conditions: 1. Ail signs shall be granted for one (1) year only, renewable annually upon written application to the Board of Appeals. 2. Ail signs shall be subject to all subsequent changes in the Southold Town Building Zone Ordinance as it applies to ~3~ signs.

It is for this reason that we feel we need each sign we D~ve. Signal is a general identification sign mo~ted on t_he roof and is lighted at night. - Sign ~2 specifical~ ~ ' a~vert~s~s our nursery and landscaping operation and is the o~y one -~nich does. We request that its location not be changed for the follow- in~ reasons. It is located on ~e top of a 30" ~ ' - ~ emba~ent, if moved away from the west line the minirm~ ~' it ~uld either be too low to be seen or if high enough to be seen would be very ~ngainly and ugly, Even more ~oort~qt if moved it ~-ould take up co~_slderao!e space ~ the parking lot eve~- inch of ~ich is very necessary to us. Not only would it take up park~g space~ ~aich a~ certain times even now is inadeo~ate~ but it would also become a hazard for cars turn~ lng and parking. Sign ~3 is used as a special promotion sign in conj-~ction with the retail garden center= _ ~°Perati°n~ Stores in locations w~n~o~s. In o~ location we b~ve little o~ no oedestri~ traffic ~ud signs in our ~indows do not show uD from t_~eh ~nlgnway.' 'For' this reason we have to place the sign %~here it ~1i ca%ch the eye of the passerby. Again this sign is less t~n ~ minim-~ from the bouiad~ line. We request t~t an exception be granted in this case for the reasons that follow. Placing it further aw~y from the prop~ arty line wo~d t~e up more park~qg space~ which as mentioned before is at a premi~, and a!sD place it right where much of the traffic in the parki~ area moves. _nets is a highway tree located between the ILne and the sign. To move the sign further from the tree would ' ~= ......... - ~cgomplm~gno~nmng out wasted space.
