PENDING DECISION: Appeal No. 3457:
Application of RALPH AND LUCILLE STOCKER for permission to
construct new dwelling requiring Variances to the Zoning Ordinance:
(1) Article III, Section 100-31, Bulk Schedule, for excessive lot
coverage, and (2) Article XI, Section 100-119.2 for reduction in

Lot 59; County Tax Map Parcel No. 1000-35-05-28.
Following deliberations, the board took the following action:
1. The premises in question is located along the west side
of Maple Lane and north side of Snug Harbor Road, Greenport, is
identified on the Suffolk County Tax Maps as District 1000, Section

Lot #59, Map of Cleaves Point, Section Three filed June 14, 1966
as File No. 4650.
'So~thold Town Board of Appeals -2- April 16, 1986 Special Meeting
(Appeal No. 3457 STOCKER, decision, continued:)
2. The subject premises consists of a total area of
approximately .35 of an acre with frontage along Maple Lane of
50 feet, along Snug Harbor Road of 103.40 feet, and along Dawn
Lagoon 64.45 feet. The premises is a corner lot as defined by
Section 100-13 of the Zoning Code and is vacant.
3. By this application, appellants request permission to
locate a new single-family, 1½-story f.rame dwelling with attached
garage and attached swimmingpool with deck areas with a setback of
15' at its closest point from the e.xisting bulkhead along Dawn
Lagoon, minimum setbacks of 35' from each front property line,
and minimum sideyard of 10 feet ~along the northerly property line
and minimum sideyard of 15 feet alonQ the southerly side property
line (along premises now of Wallin)~~ Total lot coverage proposed
herein is 29.9% of the total lot area, 4043 sq. ft., and 9.9%
in excess of the maximum permitted 20%. The proposed residence
with attached garage, without the deck and pool areas, covers the
lot 18%, as shown by site plan prepared by Garrett A. Strang,
Architect, January 16, 1986.
,4. Article XI, Section 100-119.2, sub-paragraph B requires
all buildings located on lots adjacent to tidal water bodies other
than the Long ~sland Sound to be set back not less than seventy-five
(75) feet from the ordinary highwater mark of such tidal water body
or not less than seventy (75) feet from the landward edge of the
tidal wetland, whichever is greater. The percentage of a variance
requested from this requirement is substantial, being 75% of a
variance.
5. Article III, Section lOD-31, Bulk Schedule of the Zoning
Code requires a maximum lot coverage for all structures of twenty
(20) percent. The percentage of a variance requested from this
requirement is also subs~antial, being 50% of a variance.
6. It is the opinion of the board members that: (a)
the deck areas could be reduced in size to afford the minimal
relief necessary for both variances, particularly the 15' area
between the rear of the house and the pool.
In considering this appeal, the board finds and determines
that in locating the structures at a distance of not closer than
50 feet at its closest point to the existing bulkhead, and not
exceeding 25% 1Qt coverage: (a) the variances will be the minimun

necessary; (b) the circumstances are unique; (c) the practical
difficulty under these circumstances would be sufficient to warrant
the granting of same; (d) there will be no substantial change in
the character of the district; (e) in consideration of all the
above factors, the interests of justice will best be served by
conditionally permitting a variance, as noted below.
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Goehringer, seconded by
Mr, Gri§onis, it was
RESOLVED, that Variances for permission to construct new
dwelling with proposed pool and deck areas BE AND HEREBY IS
APPROVED in the Matter of the Application of RALPH AND LUCILLE
STOCKER, under Appeal No. 3457, SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDI-
TIONS:
I. That there be no construction within 50 feet of the
existing bulkhead;
2. That the total lot coverage for all structures not
exceed 25% of the total lot area;
3, That the si~eyards of l0 and 15 feet as shown from
the north and south lines, respect.ively, not be reduced.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrso Goehringer, Grigonis,
Douglass and Doyen, (Member Sawicki, was absent.) This resolu-
tion was duly adopted.
Southold Town Board of Appeals -4-
April 16, 1986 Special Meeting
PENDING DECISION: Appeal No. 3450:
Application of ROSALIE GOWEN for Variances to'the Zoning Ordinance,
Article III, Section 100-31, Bulk Schedule, for approval of: (1) insuffi-
cient lot area, (2) insufficient lot width, (3) insufficient lot depth,
of two parcels as proposed in this pending set-off division of land
located at the corners of Zena Road, Cpt. Kidd Drive and Central Drive,
Mattituck, NY; Cpt. Kidd's Estates Filed Map #1672~ Lots 134, 153, 154~
County Tax Map Parcel No. 1000-106-02-32 and 43.
Following deliberations, the board took the following action:
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held and concluded on March 13, 1986,
in the Matter of the Application of ROSALIE GOWEN under Appeal No. 3450,
and q
WHEREAS, the board members have personally viewed and,~'are familiar
with the premises in question, its present use and classification in the
"A" Residential and Agricultural Zoning Distr;ct; and ~
WHEREAS, the board has considered all testimony and documentation
submitted concerning this application; and ~
WHEREAS, the board made the following findings of fact:
1. By this applications appellant requests a Variance from the
provisions of Article III, Section 100-31, Bulk Schedule of the Zoning
Code for insufficient area, width and depth of two parcels proposed
on this 31,740 sq. ft. tract of land, of: (a) 13,824 sq. ft. in
area, 106.65 frontage along Zena Road, and .depth of 133.59 feet for
proposed Parcel #1 (to the south), and (b) 17,916 sq. ft. in
area, 135.77' frontage along Central Drive and 91.67' along Zena
Road, and depth of 133.59 feet~(Parcel #2 to the north).
2. The premises in question consists of an area of 31,740 sq.
ft. with 198.23' frontage along Zena Road and average lot depth of
107.52 feet.
3. The subject premises also consists of Lots #134, #154, and
#153 as shown on a Map of Cpt. Kidd Estates which was filed January 19,
1949, prior to the enactment of the zoning code. The northerly half
of the premises is improved with an accessory garage and one-story
single family dwelling set back 35' from Zena Road at its nearest
point, 37' from Central Drive, and 22' from the proposed division line.
S~uthold Town Board of Appeals -5- April 16, 1986 Special Meeting
(Appeal No. 3450 GOWEN (and LaPaugh), decision, continued:)
4. For the record, it is noted that a Certificate of Occu-
pancy #Z-5687 for the accessory garage was issued December 10, 1973
and Certificate of Occupancy #Z-tlO0 for an easterly 16' addition
was issued during June of 1960. It is the board's belief that the
dwelling as constructed over the old subdivision line between Lots
#134 and #154 preexists the enactment of zoning in 1957.
5. It is the opinion of the board that this congested area
is a very fragile and environmentally sensitive area, and without
proof as to the availability of a public/community water-supply
system and appropriate approvals from the Suffolk County Department
of Health Services, including but not limited to Article VI, a
variance is not warranted.
6. It is also the opinion of the board that although the
area consists of lots similar in size, the existing dwellings have
been serviced by a community water system since on or about the
time of their construction.
In considering this appeal, the board finds and determines:
(a) that the relief requested is substantial in relation to the
zoning requirements, meeting less than 20% of the lot area require-
ment of 80,000 sq. ft.; (b) that the circumstances are not unique
except that the subdivision pre-dates the zoning ordinances; (c)
the granting of the variance would amount to "ad hoc" planning and
create a precedent for the entire town which could well lead to
further substandard parcels and would in turn cause a substantial
effect of increased population density and be adverse to the safety,
healths welfare, comfort~ convenience and order of the town, (d)
that the practical difficulties shown are not sufficient as applied,
(e) that the interests of justice will be served by denying the
variance as applied.
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Grigonis, seconded by
Mr. Douglass~ it was
RESOLVED, that the relief requested under Appeal No. 3450
in the Matter of the Application of ROSALIE GOWEN for approval
of insufficient area, width and depth~ BE AND HEREBY IS DENIED
WITHOUT PREJUDICE, as applied.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Goehringer, Grigonis, Doyen,
and Douglass. (Absent was: Member Sawicki.) This resolution was
duly adopted.

and

provisions of Article III, Section 100-30(C)[1](c) for permission to
exceed 30% of the area of the main floor of the existing residence
of the applicant for a professional home occupation, to wit: doctor's
office.
2. The property in question is located along the north side of
Theresa Drive, Mattituck and is identified as Subdivision Lot #59, Map
of Deep Hole Creek Estates, and County Tax Map District 1000, Section

Southold Town Board of Appeals -7- April 16, 1986 Special Meeting
(Appea~ No. 3460 PERLMUTTER, continued:)
6. It is the opinion of the board that the practical
difficulties demonstrated by the appellant is not sufficient
under the circumstances to warrant the granting of the relief
as requested, and that an office area of 711 sq. ft. is permitted
without a variance.
7~ It is also the opinion of the board that alternative
relief is available for the applicant to pursue other than a
variace.which would be either to: (a) reduce the hOme-occupation
area to 711 sq. ft., or (b) increase the floor area of the
dwelling 630 sq~ ft. for residential use.
In considering this appeals the board has also determined:
(a) that the relief requested is not the minimum necessary;
(b) that the residential area would be adversely affected due
to increased traffic conditions; (c) that the public health,
welfare, safety~ comfort, convenience and order of the town
will not be served by allowing the variance; (d) there is
a method feasible for appellant to pursue other than a variance~
(e) the circumstances are not unique; (f) the spirit and
intent of the zoning ordinance would not be served by granting
same as applied; and (g) the interests of justice would best
be served by denying the variance, as applied.
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Goehringer~ seconded by
Mr. Grigonis, it was
RESOLVED~ to deny the application as applied under
Appeal No. 3460 in the Matter of MICHAEL J. PERLMUTTER, M.D.
for a variance in excess of the maximum-permitted 30% main
floor area for home-occupation use.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Goehringer, Douglass,
Doyen, and Grigonis. (Absent was: Joseph H. Sawicki.) This
resolution was duly adopted.
'Southold Town Board Of Appeals -8- April 16, 1986 Special Meeting
PENDING DECISION: Appeal No. 3463:
Application of EDMUND PRESSLER for a Variance to the Zoning Ordinance,
Article VII, Section 100-712 Bulk Schedule, and Article VII, Section lO~-
70(A)[1](d), for permission to utilize premises of 68, 192 sq. ft. in area
as a continuing nonconforming two-family dwelling and add two retail
sales/office uses in this "B-I" General Business Zoning District. Location
of Property: North Side of Main Road, Southold, NY; County Tax Map Parcel
No. 1000-53-3-26.
Following deliberations, the board took the following action:
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held and concluded on March 13, 1986,
in the Matter of the Application of EDMUND PRESSLER, under Appeal No.
3463; and
WHEREAS, the board members have personally viewed and are familiar
with the premises in question, its present use and classificatio~ in the
"B-I' General Business Zoning District; and
WHEREAS, the board has considered all testimony and documentation
submitted concerning this application; and
WHEREAS, the board made the following findings of fact:
1. By this application, appellant requests a Variance from Article
VII, Section 100-71~ Bulk Schedule for permission to utilize premises as
a continuing nonconforming two-family dwelling, one retail store use
(antique sales) and one business-office use within building as exists
in this "B-l" General Business Zoning District.
2. The premises in question is situate along the north side of
Main Road commencing at a point 329.70 feet east of Boisseau Avenue,
with 95.44' frontage and average depth of 737.87 feet, and contains an
areage of 1.582 acres.
3. The subject premises is improved with a two-story framed
structure set back 31' from its front property line along the Main
Road, 15' from the west side line, 16' from the east side line, and
with swimming pool in a fence enclosure set back not closer than three
feet from the west side line and 15_+ feet from the east side line, all
as shown by survey dated August 31, 1981 prepared by Roderick VanTuyl,
P.C.
4. The Building Inspector, by Notice of Disapproval dated
~outhold Town Board of Appeals -9- April 16, 1986 Special Meeting
(Appeal No. 3463 - EDMUND PRESSLER, decision, continued:)
January 2, 1986~ disapproved applicant's proposal as a shopping
center (more than one business use) because a two-family use
requires 160,000 sq. ft., one retail business use requires 30,000
sq. ft., and a shopping center (more than one business use) requires
one acre [see Bulk Schedule and Article VII, Section lO0-70(A)[1](d)].
5. "Store #1" is proposed for antique sales and would contain
an area of 1,247 sq. ft., and "Store #2," proposed for rental as a
business office use, would contain 630 sq. ft., both oh the first
floor. The west second-floor apartment contains 630 sq. ft. and
east second-floor apartment contains 1,084 sq. ft.
6. For the record it is noted that there is a Certificate of
Occupancy of record, No. Z-4897 dated November 7, 1972, which indicates
that the use as a nonconforming two-family dwelling, with accessory
doctor's office conforms to all the applicable provisions of law. It
is the understanding of this board that the doctor's office was a
home occupation use, accessory to the doctor-owner's principal
residential use of one of the dwelling units, and not a separate
principal business use.
7. It is also noted for the record that a variance was approved
under Appeal No. 1415 on April 15, 1971 (Genevieve Albertson) for
permission to set-off this lot from an adjoining lot with existing
dwellings with insufficient frontage (lot width) along the Main Road.
8. It is further noted that as of this date the site plan for
this project is pending review and action by the Planning Board, which
by letter dated March 5, 1986 has indicated that it has no objections
and the parking is suitable as proposed.
9. After investigation and in considering all the facts concern-
ing the use of this property as proposed and existing uses, the board
agrees the use of this property and existing building, in conjunction
with the existing two family dwelling uses on the second floor, is
warranted for one retail business, additionally~ however, it is the
opinion of the board that the creation of a fourth use, such as the
business-office use proposed herein, would not be within the spirit
of the zoning ordinance and is not compatible with the land use
pattern in this area or within the township.
In considering this appeal, the board finds and determines that
allowance of a third use as an antique shop, and denial of a fourth
use for separate business purposes on this 68,912 sq. ft. parcel:
(a) same is consistent with and will promote the general purposes
Southold Town Board of Appeals -10- April 16~ 1986 Special Meeting
(Appeal No. 3463 - EDMUND PRESSLER~ decision, continued:)
of the zoning code and maps [and the Master Plan amendments as
proposed]; (b) the circumstances are unique; (c) the antique shop
use will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood;
(d) the antique shop use will not prevent the orderly and reasonable
use of this district or adjacent use districts; (e) the safety,
health, welfare, comfort, convenience and order of the town will not
be advemsety~affected by the proposed business use and its location,
(f) the interests of justice will be served by allowing the variance
for the antique shop business use requested, in conjunction with the
existing two-family dwelling use, and by denyin§ the variance for
a fourth business use, as conditionally noted below.
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Grigonis, seconded by
Mr. Goehringer, it was
RESOLVED, that a Variance for permission to establish an
antique shop (retail store) in conjunction with existing noncon-
forming two-family use, BE AND HEREBY IS GRANTED under Appeal
No. 3463 in the Matter of the Application of EDMUND PRESSLER
SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
'~ ~'~ ~hi~ variance shall be limited to one retail use plus
the existing nonconforming two-family dwelling use, and does
not permit a fourth business use;

100-118, for permission to utilize premises located in the "A" Residential
and Agricultural Zoning District for two B-Light Business uses in addition
to two dwelling uses. Location of Property: 27475 Main Road, Cutchogue,
NY; County Tax Map Parcel No. 1000-102-01-13.
Following deliberations, the board took the following action:
WHEREAS, public hearings were held on February 6, 1986 and March 13,
1986, in the Matter of the Application of the ESTATE OF JOSEPH ZIELONKA
under Appeal No. 3421; and
WHEREAS, the board members have personally viewed and are familiar
with the premises in question, its present use and classification in the
"A" Residential and Agricultural Zoning District, and its previous noncon-
forming use as a retail store; and
WHEREAS, the board has considered all testimony and documentation
submitted concerning this application, and
WHEREAS, the board made the following findings of fact:
1. By this application, appellant requests a Variance from Article
III, Section lO0-30(A) and Article XI, Section 100-118, for permission to
establish a "B-Light" Business use such as mechanical repairs to outboard
generators, an antique shop (retail sales), dental technician's labora-
tory, or other business use, within the existing principal building, which
are not permitted uses in this "A" Residential and Agricultural Zoning
District.
2. The premises comprises an area of O.115 of an acre (4,750± sq.
ft.) with 50' frontage (lot width) along the north side of the Main
Road, and is identified on the Suffolk County Tax Maps as District 1000,
Section 102, Block 1, Lot 13.
3. The subject premises is improved with the following struc-
tures: (a) 52' x 26' principal building and (b) 26' by 12' accessory
building located in the sideyard area. A survey has not been submitted
for the record certifying the exact setbacks of both existing buildings,
but it appears that all yard setbacks are nonconforming.
4. Properties to the north, west and east of this parcel are
also zoned "A" Residential and Agricultural as well properties to the
'So~thold Town Board of Appeals -12- April 16, 1986 Special Meeting
(Appeal No. 3421 - ZIELONKA, decision, continued:)
south of the Main Road. A library~ church and religious school exist
in the immediate area of this parcel.
5. Appellant has indicated that the business use proposed by
this application will be conducted only within Building #1, the main
or principal building, and that the separate accessory building
would be removed if necessary for proper manuevering of vehicles
and sufficient parking areas, inegress and egress. Appellant has
also indicated that it is not their intention to have separate
living quarters in conjunction with the business use.
6. It is noted that to the board's knowledge the premises
has been used as a retail shoe and clothing sales store since prior
to the enactment of zoning in 1957 up until about 1980. Appellant
has indicated that following Mrs. Madzellan's death, the premises
was sold to Joseph Zielonka, who had lived there for about three
years, and subsequently remained vacant.
7. It is also noted that there is a Certificate of Occupancy
of record, No. Z-10644 dated August 18, 1981 for a "...nonconforming
store use with habitable space and an accessory building."
8. It is the board's opinion that reinstatement of the same
retail shoe/clothing store use would be within the interests of
justice and would not adversely affect the safety, health, welfare,
comfort, convenience and order of the town.
In considering this appeal, the board finds and determines that
in allowing a retail shoe/clothing store use: (a) same is consistent
with the general purposes and intent of zoning, (b) the circumstances
are unique~ (c) the retail clothing/shoe store as previously existed
would not alter the essential character of the neighborhood; (d)
the use granted herein will not prevent the orderly and reasonable use
of this district or adjacent use districts; (e) the interests of
justice will be served by allowing a variance reinstating the previous
use for retail sales of clothing, shoes and related items, and limiting
the premises to not more than one use due to its size and limited
area for parking, manueverability, etc.
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Grigonis, seconded by Mr.
Goehringer, it was
RESOLVED, that a Variance for permission to reestablish retail
clothing sales use within the principal building, BE AND HEREBY IS
GRANTED under Appeal No. 3421 in the Matter of the Application of
the JOSEF ZIELONKA ESTATE, SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:

sq. ft. and 82,637 sq. ft. under Appeal No. 3356, which was denied
on July 18, 1985.
5. The board finds that the instant application is more within
the character of those generally existing in the neighborhood and
is substantially less of a variance than previously applied for.
Those generally existing vary in size from the largest at 57,500±
sq. ft. to the smallest at 23,200± sq. ft.
In considering this appeal, the board finds and determines:
(a) that the relief requested is not substantial in relation to
the conditions generally existing in the immediate area; (b) that
the circumstances are unique; (c) that the variance will not in
turn cause a substantial effect of increased population density or
be adverse to the safety, health, welfare, comfort, convenience and
order of the town; (d) the information submitted is sufficient
to warrant a granting of the variance; (e) in denying the relief
requested, the interests of justice would not be served.
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Doyen, seconded by Mr. Grigonis,
it was
RESOLVED, that the relief as applied under Appeal No. 3446
for approval of insufficient lot area and lot width of: (a) Lot
No. 1 of 50,703 sq. ft. and 150 feet; (b) Lot No. 2 of 60,228
sq. ft. and 153.86 feet, inclusive of 25' by 538.27' right-of-way,

interpretation clarifying or corre.cting the interpretation of the
Building Inspector dated December 2, 1985 has been duly filed on
January 17, 1986; and
WHEREAS, said application requests: (a) an interpretation
of Condition in Zoning Board of Appeals Decision in Appeal No. 3330
and Building Inspector's interpretation dated December 2, 1985,
which states,
"...That Lot #3 shall be restricted to one-family
use only, with no additional sleeping or living
quarters in any accessory buildings (except as may
be allowed by legislative action in amending the
current zoning code)...";
OR, in the alternative, (b) if the Zoning Board of Appeals decides
the Building. Inspector's interpretation is correct, then to amend
the condition contained in Appeal No. 3330 to allow a continued use
of the preexisting two bedrooms for sleeping facilities contained
in the garage/apartment as an accessory use to the principal dwell-
ing on the premises; and
WHEREAS, this board deemed it appropriate that the appeal for
the interpretation be considered by this board firstly and that the
alternative relief await this action of this board for the appeal
of the interpretation; and
WHEREAS, the board members have personally viewed and are
familiar with the premises in question, as well as the surrounding
area in this Residential and Agricultural Zoning District; and
WHEREAS, after due notice, a Public hearing was held by the
Board of Appeals on the Interpretation Request (a), supra, and
Southold Town Board of Appeals -22- April 16, 1986 Special Meeting
(Appeal No. 3455 - VARANO, decision continued:)
concluded on March 13, 1986 at the Southold Town Hall, Main Road,
Southold, New York; and
WHEREAS, at said hearing all those who desired to be heard
were heard and their testimony recorded; and
WHEREAS, all testimony and written documentation have been
carefully considered; and
WHEREAS, the board made the following findings of fact:
I. The premises in question is located in the "A-80" Resi-
dential and Agricultural Zoning Distri.~t;
2. Article III, Sections 100-30 and lO0-31, Bulk Schedule,
of the Zoning Code, permit one-family detached dwellings, not to
exceed one dwelling on each lot, and does not permit sleeping or
living quarters in an accessory structure in this zoning district;
2. Article III, Section lO0-31, Bulk Schedule, requires a
minimum of 802000 sq. ft. for a lot, and a Variance was granted
under Appeal No. 3330 concerning the subject premises from the
lot area requirement to allow 76,300 sq. ft. for Lot #3 in this
pending minor subdivision proposal.
4. Existing upon the subject premises is a single-family
frame house, and the subject accessory structure which is depicted
as "garage-ap't" on survey amended September 6, 1984~
5. In paragraph numbered "7" of the board's decision and
findings rendered May 2, 1985 under Appeal No. 3330 of which this
interpretation is made, it was noted that "...it is the understanding
of the board that the property has always been used for single-family
purposes and therefore does not recognize the accessory structure
as a "garage-apartment."
6. It is the position of this board that the since the
use of the subject accessory building (depicted "garage/apartment")
was questionable by the Board of Appeals during 1985 when they
rendered a decision under Appeal No. 3330, the subject accessory
building as an apartment or sleeping quarters use may not have
been legally established and continuously used as such from prior
to the enactment of zoning in 1957 up until the time of the
board's decision, and therefore requires additional relief by
the Board of Appeals for consideration by formal application,
public hearing, et cetera.
NOW, THEREFORE~ on motion by Mr. Grigonis~ seconded by
Mr. Goehringer~ it was
Southold Town Board of Appeals -23- April 16, 1986 Special Meeting
