effects will be produced on available governmental facilities of
any increased population; (e) that the relief is not substantial,
being 15% of a variance from the requirements; (f) that there is
no other method other than a variance feasible for appellant to
pursue; (g) that the interests of justice will be Served by
allowing the variance, as indicated below.

copy of the Suffolk County Tax Map indicating this and surrounding
properties in the area. Mr~ Burton, would you like to be heard?
Please use the mike over there, if you wouldn't mind. Thank you.
Can you tell me approximately how close to the line you're antici-
pating putting this?
EDWARD BURTON: Four feet.
CHAIRMAN: Four feet from the west property line.
MR. BURTON: Right.
CHAIRMAN: The only thing that we're concerned with is that you
leave enough access between the building and the hQuse so that you
can get equipment into the rearyard area.
MR. BURTON: I plan on doing that. Yes. Oh yeah.
CHAIRMAN: Ok. And I'll ask the normal questions that we deal
with in these storage buildings. We usually place a restriction on
them that they remain for storage only. That they not be used as a
bunk house or sleeping quarters or for children for sleeping. Will
this one have any electricity in it?

PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal No~ 3402. 7:40 p.m. Public Hearing was
held in the Matter of EMILIA PIKE'~ Variance for approval of insuffi-
cient area of proposed Parcels 1 and 2 and insufficient frontage (lot
width) of Parcel #1 in this pending set-off division of land located
at the north side of Main Road, Mattituck.
The Chairman read the legal notice of hearing and appeal applica-
tion for the record~
CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: I have a survey dated July 22, 1985 indicating
the house lot of 50,382 sq. ft. and the vacant lot of 40,000 sq. ft.
And I have a copy of the Suffolk County Tax Map indicatng this and
surrounding properties in the area. Miss Wickham, would you like to
be heard? Your timing is impeccable.
ABIGAIL WICKHAM, ESQ,: I would like to say first of all or by way
of introduction that this is the largest lot by far in the entire
neighborhood~ There are two types of hardship and practical difficulty
involved here. First is the size of the lot and the second is where it
should be divided. As for the size, it's over 90,000 sq. ft. The
others in the neighborhood are much smaller~ For most cases less than
half the size. On the west along the Main Road, you have widths of
67 feet, 75 feet, 100 feet, and 112 feet. On the east, you have a
100' lot containing about a quarter of an acre. All of the lots
behind the property on Pike Street are about 100 feet wide and are
25 to 30,000 sq. ft. in area. The house here is on the east side,
Southold Town Board of Appeals -3- December 12, 1985 Regular Meeting
(Appeal No. 3402 - EMILIA PIKE, hearing, continued:)
MISS WICKHAM (continued):
not in the middle, so it lends itself to a division just by its physical
location.
I have two things that I would like to give to you tonight. One is
a copy of the Tax Map which shows the size and the location of this lot
in relation to the others surrounding it for the record and the width of
those surrounding lots, and also I have a letter from Brent Bookmiller
who is a licensea real estate broker indicating that he has examined the
property, and that the market value differential for this property
between it being subdivided and it not being subdivided is approxi-
mately $25,000, so you do have a very serious hardship there.
As to where to divide the property, the crucial issue here is that
there is a driveway that is located right in the middle of the property
where you might otherwise want to put the line. And therefore you
either got to move the driveway, which is a blacktop driveway and has
a big tree in its vicinity, or create easements which have liability
and other legal problems. The proposed 100' width is exactly the same
or larger than all of these surrounding lots to the west, and the lot
to the east, and the lots behind to the north. I also ought to mention
that the proposed master plan designates this area as an RO zone, which
would permit a 40,000 sq. ft. lot; and we have revised this application
from the prior one in order to meet that acreage.
I'd also like to mention--make reference to the Planning Board letter
commenting on the proposal. I question their jurisdiction to advise on
variances because the Planning Board is empowered only to make decisions
as the property relates to code compliance and to elements as they comply
to the code. It is your jurisdiction to grant variances. They do
recommend--I find it odd--a nonconforming lot size, about 37,000 sq. ft.,
which they are without power to do, and they also recommend 125 feet
which runs into the driveway problem we mentioned before, and also is
inconsistent with all of the lots next door~
Certainly to divide it by 100 feet is not out of keeping at all with
the rest of the neighborhood and it is a unique situation because of the
size of the lot. I'd like to give you this tax map and the letter from
the broker.
CHAIRMAN: Thank you. Can I ask you just two questions while you'
up there? Is the intended use of this property residential?
re
MISS WICKHAM: Yes.
Southold Town Board of Appeals -4- December 12, 1985 Regular Meeting
(Appeal No. 3402 - EMILIA PIKE, hearing, continued:)
CHAIRMAN: These applicants have any objection to a restriction
placed on the property that there be no further sideyard variances?
In other words, are they building to the rear of the property, or
are they building to the other side?
MISS WICKHAM: I don't think I can answer where it would be built,
but I don't want to say "no," but I think a sideyard variance ought
to be a question of your det~rmination. Further on. I don't know
if any of the other houses along there have sideyard variances~
Probably not~
CHAIRMAN: We haven't seen any~
MISS WICKHAM: They may be preexisting.
CHAIRMAN: Yes~
MISS WICKHAM: I'd prefer not. I request that that rather be
considered by the board in the future on the basis of the hardship
existing then.
CHAIRMAN: Ok.
MISS WICKHAM: Thank you.
CHAIRMAN: Is there anybody else that would like to speak in
favor of this application? Mr. Greaves?
ROBERT GREAVES: I'm the one that's planning on buying the lot

house in reference to total length across the front?

MARION BOPP: I'm Marion Bopp and I~m one of the adjoining
property owners on the east, and I know the concern that Mrs. Pike
Southold ToWn Board of Appeals 5- December 12, 1985 Regular Meeting
(Appeal No. 3402 - EMILIA PIKE, hearing, continued:)
MRS. BOPP (continued):
has had for many years in taking care of this big piece of property,
and I also know of the proposed sale that she wants to give to Mr.
Greaves if you're willing to approve of it. I have lived in the
area for more than 20 years with my family, and it has been a concern
of ours as to what would happen if Mrs. Pike died and what would
happen to this property. I have known Mr. Greaves who lives just
three doors away. I know the care he has given to his mother's home
while he lived there. And I feel that the lot he plans to build on
is conforming with the size of the lots in the rest of the area. I
myself, I know this is strictly cosmetics but as a property owner
I would consider it an asset if Mr. Greaves lived there and put up
a home. I would definitely like to ay they are very good neighbors.
CHAIRMAN: Thank you very much. That's very nice of you to say
that. Would anybody else like to speak in favor? Anybody like to
speak against? (None) Hearing no further comments, I~ll make a
motion closing the hearing and reserving decision until later°

held in the Matter of JAMES AND MARY TYLER. Special Exception for
public garage for vehicle repairs~ N/s Main Road, Laurel.
The Chairman read the legal notice of hearing and application
for the record~
CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: I have a copy of a survey dated February 10,
1985 indicating a proposed garage of 48' by 75', approximately two-thirds
into the property, a sideyard of 25 feet on the west side, with no
specific sideyard given on the east side. And I have a copy of the
Suffolk~County Tax Map indicating this and surrounding properties in
the area. Mr~ Raynor, are you going to be heard on this one?
HENRY RAYNOR: Yes, Mr. Chairman, I would like to speak in favor
of the proposed Special Exception before the board tonight. As you're
aware, we submitted the site plan to the Planning Board and are over
Southold Town Board of Appeals -6- December 12, 1985 Regular Meeting
(Appeal No, 3400 - JAMES AND MARY TYLER~ hearing, continued:)
HENRY RAYNOR (continued):
here because it requires a Special Exception for a public garage. A
plan has been submitted to the Suffolk County Department of Health
Services for approval of water as well as t~' State Department of
Transportation~ The State Department of Transportation has already
approved the site plan with certain conditions, that being ~
amendment to the site plan you have before you for a narrowing of
the entranceway from 40' to 30' and the creation and improvement
of the sidewalk which preexists on the property. As you're aware,
this is part of an old subdivision held by Mattituck Holding Corpora-
tion which is already on a filed map.
MR. CHAIRMAN:
that?
Do you have a more current site plan indicating
MR. RAYNOR: The amendment from the Department of Transportation
has just come back to us. So we have been unable at this point to
have a surveyor make those amendments to it. The DOT has also set
a bond, which we have forwarded a fee for. As you're aware, we have
also complied with the requirement on the moratorium under Local Law
14, and have received a waiver from the Town Clerk's Office~ We did
notify Mr. Crenshaw who is the property owner on the east who has a
masonry contracting business there, as well as Shamrock Tree, which
is on our west. And I believe you have copies for those notices of
adjoining property owners. We would ask that the board give a
favorable determination to the proposed Special Exception before you,
and if you have any questions, I would be more than happy to answer
them.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Do you know if this is a cement block building or
a butler building?
MR. RAYNOR: It is prefabricated. I have a copy of the building
plans here with me this evening~ If the board would like, I would
be happy to submit a duplicate to them.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Yes~ Possibly along with the re-drawing of that
30 feet, the reduction~ if you intend to do it, or a copy of the
amendment that you have there~
MR. RAYNOR: We are awaiting to refer the amendment to the DOT
to the Planning Board pursuant to this board's determination on the
Special Exception. I can stipulate that we will be in full compli=
ance with the DOT providing the Planning Board views it favorably~

Special Exception, the application stops here.

(Appeal No. 3425 - HOWARD AND BARBARA DILLINGHAM, hearing, continued:)
HOWARD DILLINGHAM: We had this staked off by Young and Young, and
after it had been staked off, the hole was dug and he went and measured
it again~ and it was too close to Roy Stakey's property, my immediate
neighbor to the south. So I hired Howard Wells to come in and re-dig
the foundation with the offset stakes. After the foundation was poured,
it was Walt Corwin (Building Inspector) who came down as I was tarring
the foundation and we re=measured it, and to the best that we could tell,
it was, I thought I had it six inches in my favor. I had called some
time in September for another foundation survey, and when it came back,
it came back six inches too close~
MR. CHAIRMAN: So basically what we're talkin§ about is--I thought
it was 1'6" It's only
MR. DILLINGHAM- Well the variances.the sideyards have to be a
total of 31 feet and ours is a total of 31~6~ and we needed 17 feet
on that south line, and we were 6" over that~~ It was less than a foot.
It was somewhere in the neighborhood of either .6 feet or .7 feet~, it
wasn't even inches.
MR~ CHAIRMAN: (Reviewed map with Secretary.) Here it's shown
(by the building inspector) to be ]7~5 and it's 16~5~ We have it
as a foot in any case. We're not going to fight over 6"
I needed that'for the record~ Howard, 'that's why I asked'you the
question. Ok. As I understand now~ and as you had seen me take
a picture approximately two weeks ago., ~he greenhouse is up.
MR. DILLINGHAM: ~ight~
MR~ CHAIRMAN' And this~ any prolonged decision on our part
would only ca~se you hardship ~n get~ing your CO, is that correct?
MR~ DILLINGHAM- Yeah~ Well., the O-ther thing, if you made me
take the greenhouse down~ that would be even more of a hardship~
MR~ CHAIRMAN; We will discuss it, as you know, as I thought you
may have heard, we have a 15-day period we have to post this. So

The Chairman read the lega't notice of hearing and appeal applica-

MR. CHAIRMAN (GOEHRINGER)- I have a copy of a survey dated
November 4, 1985, most recent date~ indicating._Lot #1 which is 1.2
acres, approximately 150 feet on the water and ~pproximately 125'
to the south. Lot #2 which is 1~4 acres~ approximately 150' at the

1.3 acres. And Lot #4, size of Lot #3 is 225~ by 250~ And Lot #4,
which is 1.3 acres, an irregular 250' by 255,26~ with a right-of-way
of 15 feet on the, I think it's the northeast property line~ And I
have a copy of the Suffolk Coun'ty Tax Map indicating this and surroundI
ing properties in the area~ Miss Wickham, would you tike to be heard?
ABIGAIL WICKHAM, ESQ.: Thank you. As the board can see from
looking at the property:, if you divide a 5.2-acre parcel into two
lots, you got two tots with about 113~500 s~. ft~ each~ which is
140% bigger than is required the two-acre ordinance. That's a
hardship° If you only have two lots~ the hardship is obvious
because you have half the number of lots which is thousands of
dollars in value less than if you had the four lots~ If you only
have two lots, there are onl.y two ways to develop this property.
One is in the two long~ narrow lots with slightly insufficient width
on the Sound, which is not the best layout relative to this land,
or secondly, to have a lot in front on the Sound and a lot in the
back on the road, or vice versa, which deprives the applicant of

MISS WICKHAM (continued):
valuable soundfrontage in terms of the number of lots that he could
put up there. The proposed area is certainly comparable to the other
properties in the area, so a'hardship would be to deprive the owner
of the right to divide the property in the same manner as those lots.
Tberets ample sideyard. There is public water and sewer in the
street in the front of this property, and we have made application
to the Village of Greenport for hook-up~ Right now.~ as I last spoke
to Mr. Monsell several weeks ago.~ that'~s on hold because Of.their
hold-up'in general di.stribution, and it's just a question of waiting
for them to make their system available. But it is available in the
street in front of the property. So you 'would not have an.environ-
mentally adverse impact~ The last master pi_an proposal that I saw
for this property was an R~80 proposal~ which I think arbitrarily
ignores the neighborhood t'aYout. That hasn=t been changed~. The
only property that would possibly be affected would be the property
to, immediately to the east in terms of precedent, because that has
2°6 acres. I made an inspection of the properties to the west, and
they all have houses on them. So dom~t think you're going to ha've
any precedential value there in terms of the ones that are slightly
over an acre~ The two biggest properti'es are owned by the village
of Greenport and the County of Suffolk, so you're not talking about
precedential subdivision there~ The only other thing I would like
to add is that as to the disclosure of the corporate owner. At
the time the property was acq.uired was December of 1983~ Mr.. Law-
rence Bruno was the sole owner, and I"m awaiting a receipt of an
affidavit to determine if there is any change~ I will submit that
as soon as I have that~ If you have any questions, I.~ll be glad

MR. CHAIRMAN: I have a letter dated October 18, 1985 from
Edward John Boyd V, Counsellor at Law. It says~ _
. o ~Gentlemen:
On beha-lf of certain owners of real property adjacent to and in
the vicinity of the above-described subj_~c~parcel I strenuously
object to the scheduling of and holding of said appeal~s public
hearing on October 24~ 198~.
As set forth in Section 100-125 of the Code of the Town of
Southold~ a petitioner to the Board m..f Appeals is requited "by
either certified or registered mail" to...give notice to adjacent
property owners "within five (5) days preceeding the filing of the
petition in the Town Clerk's Office."
In the instant appeal, mailing of the required notices, and
not by certifi'ed or registered mail,., appears to have been accom--
plished on August 2.8, 1985~. F'ilin§ oil. ithe appeal in the Town
Clerk'S Office was not until September 18, 1985, some twenty-two
(22) days later.
This variation in procedure is material and detrimental to my
Sou~thold Town Board of Appeals -13- December 12, 1985 Regular Meeting
(Appeal No~ 3406 - RAPANAKIS, hearing, continued:)
clients in that I made two visits to the Board's office, both
before and after the five day date, to inspect the appeal
documents as filed and was told on each occasion that no such
appeal had~been received~ When finally notice of a scheduled
hearing was published on October 17, 1985 and an examination
of the file made that same day, insufficient time and schedul-
ing conflicts prevented the preparation of an appropriate
objection for the October 24 date.
At the very least I call upon the Board of Appeals to uphold
the requirements of the Town Code and dem_and that adequate
notice be given prior to the scheduling of a public hearing
and that the hearing set for October 24 be pQst~oned until
such notice is in fact ~rovided.
Yours very truly~

Section 100-32 and lO0-30(C) for permission to erect a wind tower
exceeding 18 feet in height for the purposes of producing electricity,

District lO00, Section 19, Block 2~ Lot 10.
The Chairman read the legal notice of hearing and appeal
application for the record.
CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: I have a copy of a survey from Alden
Young dated June 21, 1979 indicating three structures on the
property, penciled in or penned-in to the rear of the barn approxi-
mately 100 feet from the barn~ a tower to be erected 175 feet from
the west property line. And I have a copy of the Suffolk County
Tax Map indicating this and surrounding properties in the area.
Mr~ Jarzombek, would you like to be heard?
MR. JARZOMBEK: The reason we are requesting the tower at
60' is because that--the barn in the area is about 30 feet high,
and we want to build at least 30 feet above any obstructions, and
it would necessitate this sort of thing.
MR. CHAIRMAN: You, since the last time you have been before
us, have there been any changes you have made to these units has
the noise or the drum been lessened in any way?
MR. JARZOMBEK: This particular unit that we are going to
use in this installation is a larger unit, and it's quieter than
the other unit you're talking about.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Have you had any trouble with any of these units
or these towers blowing over, particularly in the most recent
Hurricane that we've had?
MR. JARZOMBEK: No. Of the five or six towers that we have
on Long Island here, we have experienced no problems whatsoever.

MR. CHAIRMAN: That's correct. We had spoken to the architect on
the phone and we did mention to him that we have to submit this
application to the Soil Conservation Service to find what the quality
of the bluff is in that particular area, although this as you had
heard in prior hearings is a rather timely process. The board feels

Sou'thold Town Board of Appeals -17- December 12, 1985 Regular Meeting
(Appeal No. 3422 CELIC, hearing, continued:)
The Chairman Pro Tem read the legal notice of hearing and appeal
application in its entirety for the record.
CHAIRMAN PRO TEM (GRIGON'IS): I have a map of the property dated
June 21, 19859 latest date October 10, 1985. I have a tax map show-
ing this property and all thle surrouning properties. Is there any-
thing you would like to add to the application, Bob?
ROBERT CELIC: Not really, other than it's growing by leaps and
bounds. It was originally proposed to build October 9, 1984. And I
have been before your board for a variances 'if you recall, back in
February~ 'which was approved because ~t~s considered --the sideyard
is considered a rearyard, be~cause it's on a corner~ I have been
before the Planning Board I !would say at least six times. I 'think
this application prompted thle Planning Board.~ to finally set up a
list of what should be requilre.~..on the site plan~ So this repre-
sents a lot of cost to me on behalf of the Planning Board. Not
that I'm talking against the Plan..ning..~Board_~ but I think if someone
had looked at this originall~ .and realized that the State property--
let me just bring this uP ~t.O you~
CHAIRMAN: I probably have the same map here.
MR~ CELIC: If th'ey'had simply looked at this~ and told me way
back ~hen when I originally pro~sed it to them that there would be
a conflict because the p.~emgnt is here~ My property is actually
here and I have been attemptling to negotiate with the State to
purchase that, but it's, they move like a caterpillar~--even worse~
But anyway. They should have told me at that time when I came for
the side-line variance~ I woluld also have to come for this 50-foot
access or egress situation~ So it has cost a lot of time, and I
really would appreciate some action on this because I've conformed
to everything ~the Plann~nb Bloard wants~ And I can't t~ll the State
they must sell me the property They certainly have no intended
use for the future'~fo[, that li~tte strip And I really need the-~
I have to ge~ going on this~ It has been 'well over...a, year, and I
was expecting to have this slome 'time last Spring and it's really
getting cramped. So if cons~ideration can be made, I really would
appreciate it~
CHAIRMAN- We'll do our best on its Bob~
MR~ CELIC~ Th~nk you~ And I'll also leave this here as well.
These are ~just copies of what I se~n_t t.O the State in lieu of my
problem.
