STREET & LOCALITY: 3'060 Park Avenue, Mattituck.
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: April 16, 1998
FINDINGS'OF FACT
PROPERTY FACTS/DESCRIPTION:
The subject property, identified above, is situated at the easterly
end £rontage along the southerly side. This
property with frontage along Great Peconic Bay.
The by Peconic Surveyors~ shows a
total lot ] square feet and the foH0wing buildings:
(a) frame house at the northwest corner of the property,
(b) accessory t~rame garage near the westerly property line
(appro~dmate and (c) the subject two-story, single-fsmily

proposed additions, is approxlmately 63 feet from the bOlkhead to
the south, :20-3 feet from the westerly side property line, and 45.1
feet from ~he easterly side prOperty llne.
BASTS OF APPEAL: Building Inspector's February 27, 1998 Notice
of Disapproval which reads as £oHows:

grounds: under Article XXIII, Section 100-239.4B,
proposed 49 feet +/- will be within 75

Page 2 - Appl. No. ~58 (Bendowski)
Parcel 1000-123-8-19 at Mattituck
Board of Appeals April 30, 1998
REASONS FOR BOARD ACTION~ DESCRIBED BELOW:
(1) The granting of the area variance will not produce an
undesirable change in character of neighborhood or a detriment to
nearby properties because the 14-foot wide deck addition will still
provide for a 50-foot setback from the bulkhead, which is similar in
distance to those of nearby properties.
(2) The benefit sought by the applicant cannot be achieved by some
method, feasible for applicant to pursue, other than an area variance
because the setback of the existing dwelling is nonconforming at 63,
and the addition of the proposed deck necessitates a variance.
(3) The requested area variance is substantial and represents a 33
percent reduction in the cede-required 75-foot minimum setback.
(4) The proposed variance will not have an adverse effect or impact
on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood or
district because the deck addition only extends 14 feet toward the
bulkhead, and a 50-foot setback will be sufficient to preteet
environmental concerns.
(5) The situation has been self-created and is due to the
applicant's desire to build a deck at this location.
In cenaidering this applieation, the Board deems this action to be
the minimum necessary and adequate, and at the same time preserves
and protects the character of the neighborhood, and the health,
safety, welfare of the community.
RESOLUTION/ACTION: On motion by Member Tortora, seconded by
Chairman Goehringer, it was
RESOLVED, to GRANT the variance, as applied for and SUBJECT TO
THE FOLLOWING CONDITION: The deck shall remain open to :the
sky and' unroofed.

Appl. No. 4562 - ROBERT KASSNER PARCEL 1000-87-2-32
STREET & LOCALITY: 145 TEEPEE TRAIL, SOUTHOLD
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: APRIL 16, 1998
FINDINGS OF FACT
PROPERTY FACTS/DESCRIPTION:
The above-identified property fronts along the easterly side of Tepee
Trail, ::'-: - and is known as Lot 19 on the Map of Nonnakonm
Waters, Southold. The subject premi.~es eonL~in.~ a toL~l area of
approximately 19,900 sq. ft. A survey map was submitted by applicant
dated May 22, 1986 showing an existing 1-1/2 story frame, single-family
dwel]iug, under this application shows that the subject promises is
improved with a single-family dwelling as shown on survey dated May 22,
1986 prepared by Peconlc Surveyors and Engineers, P.C.
BASIS OF APPEAL: Building Inspector's March 17, 1998 Action of
Disapproval which reads as follows: The proposed accessory shed...is
reqnlrod to be located in the rear yard. Pursuant to Article IIIA,
Section 100-30A.4 further roferred to Article III, Section 100-33.
AREA VARIANCE RELIEF REQUESTED BY APPLICANT: The request
made by applicant is to locate a 10 ft. by 16 ft. accessory storage shed
at a mlnlm~]m of five feet from the easterly property llne and a minlmunl
of 38 feet from the most southerly property line along Wigwam Way.
Because of the frontage on Wigwam Way, the proposed location is in a
front yard. This proposed Shed location is (and will remain) a naturally
wooded area.
REASONS FOR BOARD ACTION~ DESCRIBED BELOW:
Code Section 100-30A.4 roquires that an accessory storage shed be
located in the r~ar yard. The yard immediately behind applicant's house
is shallow: the house is about 26 feet from the rear property llne at
its closest And about 31 feet at the farthest, and existing trees and
shrubs leave only a snmll lawn. Applicant theroforo proposes to place
the shed southeast of the house, near the rear property llne. This area
would be part of the rear yard but for the fact that the southeast
corner of the property has a 40 foot frontage on Wigwam Way, and under
the Code this creates a second front yard in this section of the
property. The frontage on Wigwam. Way is lined with shrubs and trees
and is not used for access to apPHcafft's property. In operation, the
front yard is on the westerly side of the property, facing Teepee Trail.
Page 2 - April 30, ~
Appl. #4562:1000-87-2-32 (Kassner)
Southold Town Board of Appeals
Applicant seeks the benefit of a storage shed that v/ill not encroach
on the narrow lawn area immediately behind his house and that will not
block his northerly neighbor's waterview through applicant's property.
Applicant can achieve this only by placement of the shed elsewhere than
in the rear yard, and for this he requires a variance.
Placement of the shed in the proposed location will not produce an
undesirable change in character of neighborhood or a detriment to
nearby properties because the shed itself will be consistent with
neighborhood structures, it will be screened from view in the woodllne,
and it will not block the northerly neighbor's waterview.
The variance requested is not substantial because the proposed
location would in fact be in the rear yard were it not for the unused
frontage on Wigwam Way, which technically creates a second front yard.
The proposed shed will meet the setback requirements for accessory
structures 'and will have no effect on the Physical or environmental
conditions in the neighborhood or di.~trict.
On the' basis of testimony presented and personal inspection of the
property, the Board concludes ~that grant of the variance applied for is
the minimum necessary and adequate to achieve the benefit sought by
the applicant whiles preserving and protecting the character of the
neighborhood and the health, safety and welfare of the community.
RESOLUTION]ACTION: On motion by Member Collins, seconded by
Chairman Goehringer, it was
RESOLVED, to GRANT the variance as applied for and subject to the
following CONDITIONS:
1. That the shed be used incidental and accessory to the residence for
storage uses.
2. That the utility of electric as requested will be permitted.

Appl. 4539 (Licari): 1000-89-2-7
Southold Town Board of Appeals
REASONS FOR BOARD ACTION DESCRIBED BELOW:
Lot 6 is improved with a single-family house; Lot 7 is
unimproved. Brannigan and Swendsen (brother and sister) purchased
Lots 6 and 7 from Acksin and held the Lots as joint tenants. They
purchased Lot 6 in December 1967 and Lot 7 in May 1968. In July 1985,
Brannigan and Swendsen sold Lot 7 to applicant Licari and his
then-partner Bonati as tenants in common, and Lot 6 to Bonati alone.
In an apportionment of the assets when the partnership di.~solved in
December 1986, Lot 6 was transferred from Bonati to Lieari and Lot 7
was transferred from the two partners to Bonati. In May 1993, Bonati
sold Lot ? to Lieari; simultaneously, Licari transferred Lot 6 from his
sole ownership to joint ownership with his wife, thus ensuring that the
two Lots continued to be held in different ownership.
Under Cede Section 1200-25A, Lots 6 and 7 have merged because
they were held in the same ownership by Bl~nnigan and Swendsen from
July 1, 1983 until the sales to Licari and Bonati in July 1985.
Throughout their subsequent involvement with the two Lots, applicant
Licari and big partner Bonati kept the Lots in different ownership, and
in use the vacant Lot 7 has not been treated as part of improved Lot 6.
applicant's intent has been to sell Lot 7 when and if economic conditions
warl~nted doing so. On the basis of testimony presented and personal
inspection of the properties, the Board makes the following findings:
1) The requested waiver will result in recognition of two
separate Lots whose size is consistent with that of lots in the
neighborhood. Each of the two Lots will equal or somewhat exceed the
size of many of the surrounding properties.
2) Grant of the requested waiver will not result in a significant
increase in the density of the neighborhood because it will facilitate
construction of no more than one single-family dwelling.
3) The requested waiver will not result in changes to the Jand's
natural contours.
4) The requested waiver of merger will allow applicant to avoid
the economic hardship that would likely result if he were unable to sell
Lot 7 for separate development.
5) The requested waiver will recognize a lot based upon the
original lot lines created by subdivision, prior to 1957, and filed with
the Suffolk County Clerk's Office as Map No. 90, known as the Map of
Cedar Beach Park.

BASIS OF APPEAL: Building Inspector's March 13, 1998 Action of
Disapproval which reads as follows:
" Under Article XXlV, Section 100-243, a nonconforming building
with a nonconforming use cannot be enlarged, reconstructed Or

construct an addition ancl alteration to au existing church as shown on
the survey revised March 13, 1998 (Surveyor Job. No. F997) consisting

Mattituck Presbysterian Church
Appl: #4561:1000-141-4-32.1
Southold Town Board of Appeals
REASONS FOR BOARD ACTION~ DESCRIBED BELOW:
1. Grant of an area variance will not produce an undesirable change in
the character of the neighborhood or a detriment to nearby properties
because the Church was built in 1715, centuries prior to zoning, and the
modest expansion proposed is in keeping with the time-honored site of
the Church. The proposed setbacks of the new addition conform to the
code requirements.
2. The benefit sought by the applicant cannot be achieved by some
method, feasible for the applicant to pursue, other than a variance,
because there is no other practical location on the site to build an
extension onto the Church.
3. The requested variance is not substantial. It is well established
under the case law that religious institutions enjoy enhanced protections
and are to receive wider latitude in permissive land-use than commercial
businesses such asprovided for in this Hamlet Business District.
4. The difficuRy has not been self-created and is due to the historic
use and location of the Church at this site.
5. The proposed variance will not have an adverse effect or impact, on
the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood or district
because the Church'has existed in harmony with the community at this
site for more than 200 years.
In considering this application, the Board deems this action to be .the
minimum necessary and adequate, and at the same time .preserves and
protects the character of the neighborhood, and the health, safety,
welfare of the community.
RESOLUTION/ACTION: On motion by Member Tortora, seconded by
Chairmari Goehringer, it was
RESOLVED, to GRANT the relief, as applied for.

Appl. No. 4544 - DONALD MCALLISTER PARCEL 1000-4-4-1
STREET & LOCALITY: East End Road, Fishers Island
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: April 16, 1998
FINDINGS OF FACT
PROPERTY FACTS/DESCRIPTION:
The subject property is located on a private road which extends off
of East End Road, Fishers Island. The survey map submitted under
this application shows that the subject premises congists of 4.04
acres. The premi.~es is improved with a private one-family dwelling
and two private accessory buildings located in the front yard area
(ref. Certificate of Occupancy No. Z4861 dated October 17, 1972).
The subject of thi.~ application is one accessory bnildln~ which
contains a bedroom area and a bathroom area only, with no kitchen
or cooking facilities whatsoever. The use has been for occasional
sleeping accommodations for family guests related to the main
dwellinff, and not a separate use. No income has bccn derived
from this nonconforming accessory use.
BASIS OF APPEAL: BUilding Inspector's August 15, 1997 Action of
Disapproval which reads as follows:
"...In an R-120 District, "A non-confomin9 use shall not be
enlarged, altered, extended, reconstructed or restored." Article
)~U/V, Section 100-24/A. Action required b~ the Zoning Board of
Appeals .... "
The' request' made
fiat roof with. a pitched roof on this
accessory building, that will echo the architectural roof style of
the wain house. The fleer plan and, occupancy of the accessory
building will continue for family or guest use for occasional
overnight stay and accessory storage purposes.
The applicant confirm.~ there is no intent to convert this building to
a cottage or dwelling, and that the references to "cottage" on the
building permit application and nOtice of disapproval are in
error.
Page 2 - Appl. No. 4
Re: 1000-4-4-1 (McAllister)
ZBA April 30, 1998 Meeting
REASONS FOR BOARD ACTION~ DESCRIBED BELOW:
(1) The granting of the area variance will not produce an
undesirable change in ctiaracter of neighborhood or a detriment to
nearby properties because the footprint of thin preexisting accessory
building will not be altered when the roof is replaced, and the
degree of nonconformity with regard to front and side yard setbacks
will not change. There will be no increase in the extent of
nonconforming accessory use in this building, ,nd such use will
continue to be customary and incidental to the principal
single-family dwelling.
(2) The benefit sought by the applicant e~nnot be achieved by some
method, feasible for applicant to pursue, other than an area varJ-nce
because the applicant seeks to replace the roof on a preexisting
accessory building.
(3) The requested area variance is not substantial because only the
roof will be replaced on a preexisting accessory building in this
project.
(4) The proposed variance will not have an adverse effect or impact
on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood or
district because the roof line will be only slightly altered to
become more conforming to the architectural design of the principal
building on this parcel as the roof is replaced on the preexisting
accessory building.
(5) The situation has not been self-created because the.preexisting
accessory building subject to the proposal for roof replacement was
constructed on its current site many years prior to the purchase of
this property by the McAlligter family.
In considering this application, the Board deems this action to be
the minimum necessary and adequate, and at the same time preserves
and proteets the character of -the neighborhood, and the health,
safety, welfare of the community.

Appl. No. 4550 - RUTH MILLER PARCEL 1000-86-7-2.2
STREET & LOCALITY: 6400 Indian Neck Rood,' Peconic
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: March 23, 1998 and April 16, 1998
FINDINGS OF FACT
PROPERTY FACTS/DESCRIPTION:
The above-identified property consists of a total land area of 2.507
acres situated on the southerly side of Indian Neck Road, Peeouie. The
March 6, 1998 survey submitted under this application shows that the
property is improved with an one-story, single-family frame dwelling
which is the subject of this application for a new addition, ~nd three
other accessory buildings in the front yard.
BASIS OF APPEAL: Building Inspector's Action of Disapproval dated
January 26, 1998, which reads as follows:
"...please take notice that your application dated
January 9, 1998 for permit to construct an addition
to an existing ~ single family dwelling ...is disapproved
on the following grounds: the proposed addition being
located in an R-80 Zone is required to have a side yard
setback of 20 feet minimum ~nd a combined side yard
setback of 45 feet. Pursuant to Article III, 100-32 ....
AREA VARIANCE RELIEF REQUESTED BY APPLICANT: The request
made by al~Plicant is to locate a proposed 20' x 26.2' dwelling addition
with an easterly side yard at 18 feet and westerly side yard at 14.9 to
the existing foundation, or at 8.5 to the top of the step area. The
total side yards to the foundation walls at the sides would equal 32.9
feet, and to the top of the step area (larger than 5' x 6' cede
exemption) would equal 26.5 feet. The code requirement is 45 ft. total
both side yards.
REASONS FOR BOARD ACTION~ DESCRIBED BELOW:
(1) The granting of the area variance will not produce an undesirable
change in character of neighborhood or a detriment to nearby properties
because the property is a heavily wooded waterfront lot and a row of
evergreens screens the addition from view by adjoining properties to the
east.
Page 2 - Appl. No. ~50 (R. Miller)
1000-86-7-2.2 at Peconic
Board of Appeals April 30, 1998
O
(2) The benefit sought by the applicant cannot be achieved by some
method, feasible for applicant to pursue, other than an area variance
because the property is unusually long approximately 1250 feet, but its
narrow 87-foot width prohibits expansion of the dwelling without a
variance.
(3) The requested area variance is not substantial in considering the
modest 20 ft. by 26.2 ft. size of the addition and limited width of the
lot area.
(4) The proposed variance will not have an adverse effect or impact on
the physical or environmental condition.~ in the neighborhood or district
because the addition is of minimal size, and it will be an improvement to
the house and nearby properties.
(5) The situation has not been self-created and is due to the unusually
long and narrow configuration of the property.
In considering this application, the Board deems this action to be the
minimum necessary and adequate, and at the same time preserves and
preteets the character of the neighborhood, and the health, safety,
welfare of the community.

portion ended April 16, 1998).
FINDINGS OF FACT
PROPERTY FACTS/DESCRIPTION:
This property is located in an R-80 Residential Zone District, being
situate on the easterly side of Cox Neck Road, Mattituck. The land
in question contains approximately 163,997 sq. ft. (3.7648 acres)
with 240 ft. frontage (lot width) along Cox's Neck Road (a/k/a Cox
Lane) as Shown by the survey completed Nov. 15, 1988 and
last-dated Feb. 4, 1992. Existing is a single-family dwelling
located on the southerly half of the premises 138.2 feet from a tie
line along approximate high water mark (March 1988).
The updated April 1, 1998 survey, prepared by Howard W. Young,
Land Surveyor, shows Lot ~t of 80,323 sq. ft. including 2,914 sq.
'ft. of wetland area, and leaving 77,409 sq. ft. of upland area.
Lot #2 would contain 83,673 sq. ft. including 9,302 sq. ft. of
wetland area, leaving 74,371 sq. ft. of upland area. The lot width
of Lot I is proposed at 166.63 feet, and lot width of Lot 2 is 73.37
feet, both along Cox Neck Road.
The amount of land claimed under a property line dispute with
respect to the southerly property line is approximately 3269 sq. ft.

Section 100-239 proposed lots will have insufficient upland area and
under Article III, Section 100-32 proposed Lot #2 will have
insufficient lot width .... "

Re: 1000-113-8-5 (Sievernich)
Board of Appeals Appl. #4068
AREA VARIANCE RELIEF REQUESTED BY APPLICANT:
Area-variance approyal for reduction in lot '~sizes as follows in
this pending subdivision project:
Lot 1 with frontage of 166.63 feet along Cox Neck Road, 175
feet in width at the proposed building setback, and upland lot
area to approximately 77,409 square feet, more or less; and
Lot 2 with frontage of 73.37 feet along Cox Neck Road and
upland area of 74,371 square feet, more or less.
REASONS FOR BOARD ACTION~ DESCRIBED BELOW:
(1) The granting of the area variance will not produce an
undesirable change in character of neighborhood or a detriment to
nearby properties because this property, when divided, will produce
two lots of a minimum of 75,320 and minimum of 71,102 sq. ft.,
excluding the wetland areas. Both lots would have far more area
than most lots in the vicinity.
(2) The benefit sought by the applicant cannot be achieved by some
method, feasible for applicant to pursue, other than an area variance
because this 3.7+- acre It is long and narrow, conforming to most of
the lots in this area.
(3) The requested area variance is not substantial.
(4) The proposed variance will not have an adverse effect or impact
on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood or
district because a new house would be placed in a location at least
75 feet from the wetlands, and the existing house already exists in a
location at least 75 feet from the wetlands.
This action is the minimum that the Board deems necessary and
adequate and at the same time preserves and protects the character
of the neighborhood, and the health, safety, welfare of the
community.

Southold Town Board of Appeals
after reliance upon the following circumstances relative to this
project:
1. The subject accessory building is proposed to be maintained
as a reconstructed building in the identical footprint of the
existing accessory "bath-house" building. This is voluntary
reconstruction (as opposed to damage such as those which may be
caused by Acts of God).
2. The subject footprint is shown on the June 22, 1984 survey
pr~epared by Young & Young, L.S. at the most 'southwesterly corner
of the premises with a nonconforming setback at approximately 10.5
fee~ from the southerly bulkhead and at approximately three feet
from the westerly bulkhead and/or property line;
3. The dimensions of this building are provided on the June
22, 1984 survey to be of a size 7.5+- ft. x 19.5+- ft., and when
reconstructed the footprint will be identical.
4. The accessory building as presently used is incidental to
the main dwelling, and after reconstruction, the same accessory use
