PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal No. 2559 - Upon application of Edward H.
Schw~ebert, 202 Round Hill Road, Roslyn Heights, New York, for a variance
to the Zoning Ordinance, Article III, Section 100-32 for permission to
construct an accessory building in the side yard area. Location of
property: Mill Creek Drive, Southold, New York, bounded on the nort~
by Mill Creek Drive; east by Pursel; south by Long Creek; west~by Mac-
Dougall. -
The Chairman opened the hearing by reading the application for a
variance to the Zoning Ordinance, legal notice of hearing, affidavits
attesting to its publication in the official newspapers, and disapproval
from the Building Inspector. The Chairman also read a letter from the
Town Clerk that notification by certified mail had been made to: Mrs.
Donald Pursel and Thomas MacDougallo Fee paid: $15.00.
MR. DOUGLASS: There is a survey of the property attached to the
application, tn line with this appeal is there anyone present who wishes
to speak for the appeal?
EDWARD H. SCHWIEBERT: I'm the applicant.
MR. DOUGLASS: Do you have anything more you would like to add.
MR..~SCHWIEBERT: No, I think I have said everything.
MR. DOUGLASS: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak against
this application?
MRS. PURSEL~: Yes, I do not want it there. It faces my patio and
it will spoil my view. I would like to know how big it is going to
be? I haven't been informed on that. I suppose it is going to be to
the building line.
MR. SCHWIEBERT: It will be 15 feet off the building line.
MR. DOUGLASS: It will be 15 feet off her property line?
MR. SCHWIEBERT: Yes, 15 feet from the property line.
MRS. PURSEL: I don't see how you can do that.
MR. SCHWIEBERT: The shed is approximately 10' by 10' and here is
the property line. If I cannot put it there, I will~r~ake application
to put it down further.
MRS. PURSEL: I don't want it in the side.
MR. SCHWIEBERT: You want it here? (pointing towards the water on
his survey).
MRS. PURSEL: You have enough property. In fact you have 190 feet
of back yard property and he is taking a small piece which I am going to
look right into from my patio. I have lived there for 30 years.

MR. DOUGLASS: When we~.~ere up there we took some pictures and
would it bother you to put this shed behind the garage?
MR. SCHWIEBERT: That would effect the other property owner.
MR. DOUGLASS: Your garage is all shielded from the other property
owners by high brush now.
MR. SCHWIEBERT: I cannot put it along side the garage there is not
enough room.
MR. DOUGLASS: I mean just behind it.
MR. SCHWIEBERT: No, sir. I have over in the east side my garden
area. I would like to have my tools closer to where I am working.
MR. DOUGLASS: After consultation with our Town Attorney, how
close can you get this to your house?
MR. SCHWIEBERT: How close?
MR. DOUGLASS: Yes, on the side that faces Mrs. Pursel?
MR. SCHWIEBERT: There is a basement door on that side. One of
those Bilko door type. i would have to stay 8 to 10 feet away from that
so I could get stuff down to the basement.
MR. DOUGLASS: You have some beautiful trees on that side.
MR. SCHWIEBERT: Yes, and I do not want to sacrifice any ofhthem.
On a survey in 1968, I don't have that survey here; however, I do have
a copy of it on which I have put the building which shows the well house
or pump house at that point. It is slightly closer to the house than I
suggest putting this accessory shed. From indicated on the survey that
was probably about 7-1/2 feet square. I have indicated in my application
it would not exceed t0 feet on either side because these things come...
What I have in mind is a metal building which is painted. I haven't yet
d~c~ded to build a ste~l one or an alumini~moaRe. I tend toward alumini~m
because if a ste~l building gets chipped, it rusts.
MR. DOUGLASS: Can you put this building over in here so you can
get away from her patio.
MR. SCHWIEBERT: On the survey I have indicated only 3 of the trees
in the area.
MR. DOUGLASS: Yes, we have a p~cture here o~ it.
MR. SCHWIEBERT:~ (Looking at the photograph) This shrub, I think
represents the remains of the screening around that well house. That is
the reason I want to keep it in that area. I want to make use of that
screening and shrubbery. I'm going to live there, and I don't want an

eyesore anymore than anyone else does.
MR. DOUGLASS: We understand that, but what we are sugggesting is
that you go over in there.
MR. SCHWIEBERT: There are trees over in there.
MR. DOUGLASS: Right in against the garage?
MR. SCHWIEBERT: No~ we have a perennial border along there.
the house next dour is about here.
Also
MR. DOUGLASS: The angle of the v&ew would not be effected either
for you or him~if you placed it up in here.
MR. SCHWIEBERT: I don't want to put it on that side of the property.
My garden area is down. Right now I am using the garage for storage of
my tools. That is a long stretch to take everything back and forth.
When I first came up with this idea, unfortunately Mrs. Pursel was in
the hospital. I was not able to talke to her about it.
MR. DOUGLASS: I just seems a shame~because if you put it over in
here you wouldn, t even need an appeal. This is the back yard, and it
would not be seen by anybody.
MR. TUTHILL: I wanted to ask~Mrs. Pursel what the nature of her
objection was?
MRS.PPURSEL: Because my patio faces and has faced for the past
30 years that direction. I am going to be looking at that eyesore. No,
I don't want it period. He's got a garden there, and he can put it down
by the garden.
MR. DOUGLASS: Well, if you put it all the way down there, it would
be seen by both of you.
MR. SCHWIEBERT: That is the reason I asked to have it up here.
think I have indicated on the sketch the approximate location of Mrs.
Pursel's house.
MR. TUTHILL: · don't see anything wrong with what he is asking
for.
MR. DOUGLASS: If he places it in the side yard area, it is recom-
mended that he put it here.
MR. TUTHILL: When we were down there, I thought we thought it might
be better if it was moved back toward the house a little bit.
MR. DOUGLASS: You have plently of room between these trees and that
part of your house.
MR. SCHWIEBERT: I don't want to sacrifice any trees for this shed.
, SOfT'OLD TOWN BOARD OF APPEALS -5- July 5, 1979
MR. DOUGLASS: If you came back into this corner more you would
not effect these trees.
MR. SCHWIEBERT: This tree is approximately right about there.
Then ~here is a planting right along there.
MR. DOUGLASS: You could stay just outside of that.
MR. SCHWIEBERT: Then there are some windows on that side of the
house.
MR. DOUGLASS: Yes, there are two windows farther down.
MR. SCHWIEBERT: No, they are not too far down. One would be about
here. One is just about over the basement door.
MR. DOUGLASS: My recommendation would be to have it ~earer the
house. That will pull it back a little here.
MR. SCHWIEBERT: The way it is now it is abQut 15 feet off the line.
MR. DOUGLASS: Put it here so it doesn't effect your cellar door.
MR. SCHWIEBERT: I have to have a~cess into my basement.
MR. DOUGLASS: This way it will not be in line with Mrs. Pursel's
patio.
MR. SCHWIEBERT: I wish you would explain to Mrs. Pursel where you
have suggested I place this. I hope she will be satisfied with it.
~. TUTHILL: You are suggesting to put this back closer to Mill
Creek Drive, is that right, Bob?
MR. DOUGLASS: Yes, between the cellar doo~ and the corner of your
house. This tree comes out about 5 or 6 feet from the house. So if
you started your shed on that line and put it in there, you will be
back behind her patio.
MR. SCHWIEBERT: You patio is in the back of your house, isn't it

MRS. PURSEL: On the side.

MR. DOUGLASS: No, they don't.
MR. TUTHILL: HOw far could it be moved back, 15 feet?
MR. SCHWIEBERT: Toward Mill Creek Drive? I don't think it could
go that far.
MR. TUTHILL: Without hitting trees?
MR. SCHWIEBERT: On the survey I have only indicated a couple of
the trees.
MR. DOUGLASS: Back here is a driveway.
MR. SCHWIEBERT: It is not a driveway. It is just a parking spot.
MR. DOUGLASS: This is where cars sit anyway. If he comes back
here then he won't be in line with Mrs. Pursel's pation and won't be
in iine with anything of his. Is there anyone else present who wishes
to be heard on this application?
MRS. PUR~EL: I just don't understand why he can't put it on the
other side of his house. He is considering MacDoug~l more than he is
considering me. I have been there for 30 years.
MR. DOUGLASS: On the other side even without considering the trees,
the corner of the garage is Qnly 13 feet to the corner of the property.
If he comes back another 10 feet he is going to have to staFyaway from
his garage a little. He has to stay 3 feet from his property line.
MR. GRIGONIS: Doesn't it drop off back there?
MR. DOUGLASS: Well it drops off right by the side of the garage.
There is a hollow there.
MRS. PURSEL: I have lived there for 30 years. I know all about the
land and everything. I disapprove.
MR~ SCHWIEBERT: Okay, okay.
After investigation and inspection the Board finds that the applicant
is the owner of a parcel of land located on Mill Creek Drive, Southold,
New Yorkt which abuts Long Creek. In order not to disturb the water front
vmew of his neighbor the applicant wishes to construct an accessory shed
in his easterly side yard area. The Board agrees with the reasoning of
the applicant.
~ SOUTHOLD TOWn BOARD OF APPEALS -7- July 5, 1979

will observe the spirit of the Ordinance.

PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal No. 2561 - Upon application of Jay and
Mary Thomson, 695 Bayshore Drive, Greenport,~New York (George Ahlers as
Agent), for a variance to the Zoning Ordinance, Article III, Section
100-31 for permission to construct an addition to an existing house which
would cause the usage of more than 20 percent of the building lot. Loca-
tion of property: Bayshore Road, Greenport, New York, known as Lot No.
64, in Peconic Bay Estates, Gre~nport, New York.
The Chairman opened the hearing by reading the application for a
variance to the Zoning Ordinance, legal notice of hearing, affidavits
attesting to its publication in the official newspapers of the Town and
disapproval from the Building Inspector. The Chairman also read a letter
from the Town Clerk that notification by certified mail had been made to:
Ann Blitz and F. F. Csajko. Fee paid $15.00.
GLADYS CSAJKO: Before you get started, would it be possible for me
to obtain a copy of the application?
THE SECRETARY: I can make you one.
MR. DOUGLASS: There is a survey map attached with the small addi-
tion drawn on it, and how much area it will cover. There is also a
County Tax Map of the property attached. Is there anyone here wishing
to speak for the application?
MRS. CSAJKO: Excuse me, we have asked for a copy of the application.
Could we have it?
THE SECRETARY: I'm sorry I can't give it to you right now. Our
photocopy machine is locked in the Town Clerk's Office, and I don't have
a key for that part of the building.
MR. DOUGLASS: It would have to be done during business hours.
THE SECRETARY: I would glady do it for you if I could get into that
room.
MRS. CSAJKO: I'm sure you would.
GEORGE AHLERS: I'm the builder. Mr. Hinderman when we first sub-
mitted the papers made an error in the total square footage of the house~
Actually the house only covers 22.43% of the plot. These are figures that
I have gotten from Van Tuyl's office. Because the existing house does
cover 2.43% more than it is supposed, we are asking for an additional
.91% in the form of an addition on to the existing house. We are demolishing
part of it, and then addi~=on to it to give us the additional square foot-
age. t do not th~nk this small amount of added footage on to the house
would change anything, be it the character of the neighborhood or anything
else for Mr. and Mrs. Thomson.
MR. DOUGLASS: Would you answer a couple of questions for us. When
we wereaat the house looking it over it appears that it is not going to
protrude past the end of the house on the ~ater end.
.. sQUTHOLD TOWN BOARD OF APPEALS -il- July 5, 1979
MR. AHLERS: No, we will be Still 6 or 7 feet behind the exis~ihg
front line of the house.
MR. DOUGLASS: Is it going to be one or two stories?
MR.AAHLERS: Two stories.
MR. DOUGLASS: Is there anyone else present who wishes to speak for
this application? (there was no response). Is there anyone present
who wishes to speak against this application?
FRAN~CSAJKO: I do not want to speak against the application, but
against ~he procedure at this point. Can I be recognized?
MR. DOUGLASS: You can speak against it now if you want. Once this
hearing is closed you will not be able to speak against the application.

tion is approved?

You can speak right now against it if you desire.
Can I speak on the ~uestions?
Yes, you can. Do you want this on the record 6r off
MR. DOUGLASS: That is right now.
MR. CSAJKO: I~ okher words you are going to hold it right now?
MR. DOUGLASS: Sure.

to speak on a question. We want on the record that we are not for or

this.
Okay.
But we do uot want anyone here thinking we are against
MR. DOUGLASS: Okay, stand up and talk.
MR. CSAJKO: Question No. 1. According to the Bulk and Parking
Schedule the Town of Southold you cannot use moretthan 20 percent of your
plot. ~
MR. DOUGLASS: That's right, not without a variance.
~ ~ SouTHOLD TOWN BOARD OF APPEALS -12- July 5, 1979
MR. CSAJKO: Exactly what percent of the lot will be covered if
this ~ariance is granted?
MR. DOUGLASS: 22.43 percent.
MR. CSAJKO: You said 28 per cent before.
MR. DOUGLASS: As Mr. Ahlers just pointed out after Van Tuyl went
over the surveys there was an error in mathematics by the Building De-
partment.
MR. CSAJKO: Before I go any further how can you vote on a variance
where you have an error with the Building Department.
MR. DOUGLASS: We have our own figures too. We have our own adding
machines. We will go by the Sur~ey of Van Tuyls.
MR. CSAJKO: Then you do not go by the Building Department?
~MR---~ ~ -DOUglASS: He can just be so accurate. He is not a surveyor.
MR. CSAJKO: Okay, what does Mr. Van Tuyl say?
MR. DOUGLASS: Mr. Ahlers, would you care to give him that?
MR. AHLERS: The existing house covers 2243 percent more of the
lot than is supposed to be used. When Mr. Hindermann first sa~ the
survey, the front sidewalk appeared to be part of the house. Which is
why he came up with such a large percentage of the ~verage by the existing
house. The next day he called my office about it, and I went to Van
Tuyl and had Rod kno~kout the numbers on the calculator and he was the
one who came up with the existing coverage of 22.43. We are asking for
approximately .91 percent additional co~srage of the lot.
MRS. ~SAJKO: So what is your actual figure of usage of the lot now?
How much over the 20 percent are you going to be?
MR. AHLERS: It would be 3. something.
MRS. CSAJKO: No, give me 20. something?
MR. AHLERS: It would be 23.34 percent of the lot.
MR. CSAJ~O: That is down on the Building Department's records?
MR. DOUGLASS: It is right here in front of me. In my records°
My figures.
MR. CSAJKO: Okay, now I have a couple of other questions at this
point. There was a what do you call it before the building was added on
makinq the building over-sized. Am I correct.
MR. DOUGLASS: I don't know what a what do you call it is sir?
S~6¢HOLD TOWN BOARD OF APPEALS -13- July 5, 1979
MR. CSAJKO: When did the existing building become over-sized?
MR. DOUGLASS: Originally when it was buil~ prior to zoning.
MR. CSAJKO: Oh no, I object. I object. Because I owned that
building with my father-in-law, and I know exactly how big that building
was.
MR. AHLERS: I'm afraid that is a loaded question. Merely because
you would not know the answer to it and he does° We put an addition on
this house last for Mr. and Mrs. Thoms®n. It was not picked up by the
Building Department at the time that what we requested was going to put
the house over the percentage of usage allowed. In fact I do not think
it would have been picked up this time except that these folks were
performing a public service and advised the'Building Department that
what we proposed to do would indeed violate the Ordinance.
MR. CSAJKO: You've got the floor George. (Mrs~ Csajko clapping
in the background). Now can I go on with my questions? Mr. Ahle~s
admits that the addition is illegal. Now, can I ask Mr. Ahlers a question?
MR. DOUGLASS: Through the Chairman you can.
MR. CSAJKO: Okay, Mr. Chairman. Was there a variance applied for
for the other addition?
MR. DOUGLASS: Evidently it was not considered over-sized when it
was put on.
MR. CSAJKO: Was there a variance applied for?
MR. DOUGLASS: It was never picked up like Mr. Ahlers said. It was
not pickeduup as an over sized building.
MR. CSAJKO: Well, who goofed?
MR. DOUGLASS: It wasn't this department.
MR. CSAJKO: I know it wasn't your department. I'll admit that.
Now you are going on, you are asking for a variance to go over sized on
something that is over sized to begin with. Am I right or wrong?
MR. DOUGLASS: Well, sir, it appears to me what you are trying to
do is pick departments in this Town apart. Just a minute sir. Not
answering your direct reasoning to object to the project. I think you
should back off the departments and get in line on exactly what the
appeal is, and object to that if you desire.
MR. CSAJKO: Can I make a request that we have a hearing on the
variance for the first over-size and then go from there.
MR. DOUGLASS: We have no authority on that whatsoever. It has

MR. CSAJKO: It never came before this Board? There is no precedent
then whatsoever?
MR. DOUGLASS: I would not say so. I would have to check with
legal counsel.
MR. CSAJKO: Can we wait until legal counsel tells me if we can do
it or not?
MR. DOUGLASS: I can postpone it until then.
MR. CSAJKO: I would appreciate a postponement~until legal counsel
can tell me whether we can go on with the second variance when the first
vari~e was not approved.
MR. DOUGLASS: There ~as no first variance.
MR. CSAJKO: I know there wasn't a first variance.
MR. DOUGLASS: Then how could it be approved?
MR. CSAJKO: You just told me you have to have legal counsel.
MR. DOUGLASS: I would check legal counsel before I would say you
would have to go back on that, yes.
MR. CSAJKO: I would like to make a motion at this point that you
get legal counsel to see whether we have to have another hearing or
if this can be approved tonight. I want to adjourn this hearing tonight
and find out whether the first over-sized building was legal or not.
Whether. it needed a uariance or not.
MR. TUTHILL: I object to any postponement of this hearing. We are
dealing with a specific ~uestion here and not with the past.

MRS. CSAJK0: We're just trying to find out...we are just asking
questions, that's all.
S~THOLD TOWN BOARD OF APPEALS -15- July 5, 1979
MR. DOUGLASS: Mrs. Csajko...
MRS. CSAJKO: Let's try and straighten this out. We personally have
no objections whatsoever to the Thomson's putting this in. What we are
bringing up right now is that an original building was put in which was
over-sized and for some reason the Building Department did not pick it
up and bring it to the attention of the Appeals Board. Now they are
coming up with a second over-size, which is perfectly legitimate. We
are making no objections whatsoever. Understand us, we are not objecting.
We are trying to bring out if there is any communication between this
Board and the Building Department? Is thsre any spot check to see what
the Building Department is doing? Now you have a case of an over-sized
building which was never picked up by the Building Department which should
have been.
MR. DOUGLASS: Let me answer that ....
MRS. CSAJKO: Let me finish what I want to say Mr. Douglass. We
have personal reasons and we discussed it and we did not do it in the
hopes of keeping friendly relationships between neighbors. We could have
when the first building was put in raised objections because we knew
damn well that the building was over-sized? You know this contributed
to my mother's death. The upset on this.
MR. DOUGLASS: Well, this ....
MRS. CSAJKO: Now, wait a minute. Please let me finish. What we
are trying to bring up tonight is are you checking with the Building
Department? Are there any other variances that are not being applied
for because the Building Depar~ent is not passing them along to you.
Now you gentlemen are being paid to act on variances. But you get them
from the Building Department. I am not in any way holding you culpable.
You have to work with the Building Department. Is there anyone from
the Building Department who advises you? How much do you talk to them?
Do you find out what is going on with the Building Department?
MR. DOUGLASS: Let me answer that this way. We are not an enforce-
ment agency. The Building Department is the enforcement agency. This
is not us that checks on the Building Department, the Building Department
checks on the variances that we issue.
MRS. CSAJKO: In other word,s you are not in any way checking that
the Building Department is doing their job.
MR. DOUGLASS: When we ride around we see if they have or not.
MRS. CSAJKO: Well, you didn't know about this?
MR. DOUGLASS: Why should I?
MRS. CSAJKO~ You just admitted yourself that you check on them.
Now we are in now way opposed to Mr. and Mrs. Johnson's application.
The only reason we came down tonight was because we have seen what has
happened next door where you have a case where the Building Department
SOU~HOLD TOWN BOARD OF APPEALS -16- July 5, 1979
did not report it at all. In the second case I doubt it very seriously
that it would have beenr~eported except that we called, and they knew
damn well that it was us calling~ asking about this. I personally be-
lieve, and there are now reporters here tonight, are there? Are there
any reporters here?
MR. DOUGLASS: I think there is someone writing here.
MRS. CSAJHO: Is there?
MRS. SHIRLEY BACHRACH: I'm from the League of Women Voters.
MRS. CSAJKO: That is not a reporter.
MR. DOUGLASS: This is going to be in the public record anyway.
MRS. CSAJKO: I don't want it said I am doing this for publicity
or anything like that, okay? What I am getting at is that this Board
should make an attempt if nothing else to spot check what is going on
in the Building Department.
MR. DOUGLASS: I would suggest that you go back to the Building
Department and ~iscuss it with'them, because it is not within our realm.
MR. GRIGONIS: It is not our duty.
MRS. CSAJKO: You are evading the issue, Mr. Douglass.
MR. DOUGLASS: No, I'm not. I know what my orders are. I know
what my realm of duty is.
MRS. CSAJKO: I know what your realm of duty is. You have a duty
to the public also~ And the Building Department is not putting through
things that should come here. You are negligent by not checking them
out. Come on, everybody has to have a little bit of checkinc back and
forth to see what the other guy is doing. They are not doing their
jobs correctly. Are you going to do your job correctly?
MR. DOUGLASS: We do. We go out on the road and check these applica-
tions and we have held this session long enough and go ahead on this
appeal. Is there anyone else who desires to be heard. Any other
questions?
MRS. CSAJHO: Wait a minute. I'm sorry Mr. Douglass...
MR. DOUGLASS: What you are talking about M'am does not pertain to
this appeal.
MR. CSAJKO: I am making a formal request right now. That you hold
a hearing on the first variance... If you have nothing to do with the
Building Department that a hearing be held on the first variance. I was
not informed through legal proceedings according to the Southold Town
Law. Mr, what's his name, Thomson. He was supposed to inform me. Each
neighbor is supposed to get a registered letter. I never received one.
I would like this hearing postponed and a variance held on the first
addition.
S~U~HOLD TOWN BOARD OF APPEALS ,17- July 5, 1979
MR. DOUGLASS: We cannot postpone it unless you are going to put
all your arguments against the proposal.
MRS. CSAJKO: Okay, we will completely object as there has never
been a variance hearing held on the first addition. W~ ~nders~a~d Mr.
Douglass we are not fighting with our neighbors. We are bringing
something up that is terribl~ important to this Town.
MR. CSAJKO: I think Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, residents of the Town
will appreciate what we are doing.
MR. THOMSON: My name is Thomson, not Johnson.
MR. DOUGLASS: Mr. Ahlers?
MR. AHLERS: Mr. Chairman, won't your granting of the additional
foot also cover~the additional footage that the Building Department
missed the first time.
MR. DOUGAASS: No. Because all we can grant here tonight is the
additional area. That's what you have asked for in this ~ariance.
MRS. CSAJKO: Now you are granting their additional area. What
happens to the area they have already put in that has not been granted.
MR. DOUGLASS: I think you should go back to the Building Depar~ant.
I really do, M'am and see if they want to pursue it in any other manner.
MR. CSAJKO: The Building Department has nothing to do with granting
a variance.
MR. DOUGLASS: The Building Department has to make their move before
we are even involved.
MR, GRIGONIS: There has to be a denial by the Building Department
before an appeal can be made to h~is Board. That is the only way it comes
to us.
MRS. CSAJKO: We realize this. We are not picking on you guys.
MR. GRIGONIS: You should have gone to the Building Department at
that time if you thought that a violation was being committed. About
75 percent of the hearings we get arrive here that way. ~A neighbor or
someone calls or comes in and tells the Building Department they think
there is something wrong.
MRS. CSAJKO: Then what is the Building Department doing?
MR. CSAJKO: What are they doing? Just sitting onttheir asses?
MR. DOUGLASS: Wait a minute, let's watch the language.
MR. CSAJKO: I'm sorry. We have no objection to this a~ all.

absolutely no objection. Give them the variance. What we are trying
to bring before this board is that we feel the Building Department is
derelict in bringing things to your attention. You can't work on it
if the Building Department doesn't bring it to youraattention. We
are not fighting with you.
MR. DOUGLASS: You,ve made your point. Now let us proceed with
the appeal before us.
MRS. CSAJKO: How can you give an approval on something

MR. DOUGLASS: It has nothing to do with this appeal. We are
approving this appeal, or disapproving it, whatever the Board desires.
The houses all along that area, most of them, are close and tight. It
was a narrow lot community way back when it started. In my opinion ....

MR. TUTHILL: I~m ready to make a motion. I make such a motion.
MRS. CSAJO: We knew that already. It was a foregot~ conclusion.
MR. DOUGLASS: We will take up what you have brought up before us
with the Building Department, and I suggest that you go back to the
Building Department and discuss it with them, too.
MRS. CSAJKO: Oh, I intend to. But I thought it was something
that should be brought to your attention. In no way are we charging
you people with dereliction of duty, but I feel that the Building Depart-
ment is not doing their job and therefore you cannot do your job.
MR. DOUGLASS: Well, we go out and inspect these properties before
we have these hearings. The fact is we have very good pictures of the
exact project that are on record in our files here, in mine, showing
exactly what they want, showing the positioning of the house on the
total property, and we do with everything that we are going to have before
us. So we make our own judgment. The Building Department does not
make our judgment, nor does any other department. We are totally inde-
pendent, and we are not the enforcing agency. But we will go back to the
Building Department and tell them they better get their calculators up.

MR. DOUGLASS: We will have to wait to see if they ever do.
MR. CSAJKO: I will make a bet they do. That's good government.
MR. TUTHILL: ~ood night.
After investigation and inspection the Board finds that the applicants
are requesting permission to construct an addition to an existing house
whi=h would cause the usage of more than 20 percent of the building lot.
The addition will be '~o stories in height and will occupy ~34 percent more
of the lot than is allowed under the Southold Town Zoning Ordinance.
The Board agrees with the reasoning of the applicant.
The Board finds that strict application of the Ordinance would pro-
duce practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship; the hardship created
is unique and would not be shared by all properties alike in the immediate
vicinity of the property and in the same use district; and the variance
will not change the character of the neighborhood and will observe the
spirit of the Ordinance.
On motion of Mr. Tuthitl, seconded by Mr. Douglass, it was
RESOLVED that Jay and Mary Thomson, 695 Bayshore Drive, Greenport,
New York, be GRANTED permission to construct an addition to an existing
house which would cause the usage of 23.34 of the lot. Location of
property: Bayshore Road, Greenport, New York, known as Lot No. 64, in
Peco~ic Bay Estates, Greenport, New York.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs: Douglass, Grigonis, Doyen and
Tuthill.
PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal No. 2560 - Upon application of Victor and

for permission to divide property with insufficient area and width. Lo-
cation of property: Meadow Lane, Cutchogue, New York, bounded on the

north by Case; east by West Creek; south by New Suffolk Avenue; west
by Meadow Lane.
The Chairman opened the hearing by reading the application for a
variance to the Zoning Ordinance, legal notice of hearing, affidavits
attesting to its publication in the official newspapers of the Town and
disapproval from the Building Inspector. The Chaiin~an also read a letter
from the Town Clerk that notification by certified mail had been made
to: Ernest W. Case. Fee paid: $15.00
MR. DOUGLASS: We have a survey map of thA local area shying this
plot that the applicants wish to subdivide and the meadow running out in
front of it. We also have a copy of the section of the County Tax Map
that shows this plot. All adjacent areas, are on about 100 to 112.5
road front lots and ~y subdiv±ding this, the frontage would be approximately
100 feet on Meadow Road for one and the other one would have many times
that. It would have 300 feet if he used his front yard area as on
New Suffolk Avenue. They have, if the meadow was included, over the
required ~0,000 square feet for the building lots. They have almost
40,000 square feet of high land. We have several letters attached to
this that I have to read. I'll start with the New York State Department
of Environmental Conservation letter dated November 7, 1973 addressed to
Victor W. Ales, which reads as follows~ Dear Mr. Ales: Your petition
has been forwardbd to this office by the Local Tidal Wetlands Permit
Administrator. He has determined that your permit will not adversely
affect adjacent tidal wetlands area. Therefore, pursuant to Part 660.1
(4) NYCRR (Proposed) youaare hereby notified that no permit will be nec-
essary. Very truly yours, Louis M. Concra, Jr., Central Tidal Wetland
Permit Administrator. Then we have a letter dated July 5, 1979 addressed
to the Southold Town Board of Appeals signed by John Wickham wh±ch reads
as follows:
Gentlemen: In regard to my recent letter and the Ales petition,
please be advised that we have reached a boundary line agreement in the
salt marsh area. Quitclaim deeds and a survey map will be forthcoming.
The agreed upon boundary starts at a tangent point on the north side of
New Suff61k Avenue, about 838 feet east of Meadow Lane, and runs in a
northerly direction parallel to Meadow Lane (North 13 degrees 01 minutes
40 seconds East) about 400 feet until it intersects the center line of
the small west gutterr then follows the center line of said gutter and of
the associated salt pond to the north boundary of the Ales property.
This ~A~i leave the Ales prarcel with about 4-3/4 acres. It is evident
that %his property could be divide~ into two lots, each having the re-
quired area and highway frontage, but this would result in a long narrow
lot on New Suffolk Avenue. It is my opinion that a division of this
property as requested in the petition is reasonable. I~ is also evident
that there is adequate fresh water for two lots because the pump house
shown on the map was used to supply bungalows on Case's Beach. It was
abandoned only because of the difficulty of maintaining an above-ground
supply line to the beach.
We then have a letter dated July 3, 1979, from Wickham Wickham
which reads as follows: Dear Mr. and Mrs. Ales: I notice in the legal
notices of this week's Suffolk Times an application by you to the Board
' souTHoLD TOWN BOARD OF APPEALS July 5, 1979
'21'
of Appeals to divide property on Meadow Lane, Cutchogue, New York.
A description is given as: "Bounded on the north by Case; east by
West Creek; south by New Suffolk Avenue; west on Meadow Lane.[ Please
be advised that members of~the Wickham Family claim title to part of
this meadowland, the easterly boundary being the West Creek Channel and
the westerly boundary being the gutter. Appropriate deeds have been~
recorded. We, of course, will have to object to the application, since
part of it obviously includes this meadowland. It might be well for
your to have your attorney get in touch with us not only regarding the
application but the title to the meadowland. The letter written by
John Wickham saying that.an agreement has been reached was written on
July 5, 1979. This was after William Wickham's letter. Now we have
another letter from John Wickham dated July 2, 1979 which reads as
follows:
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Ales: I note from the local paper that you are
asking to divide your property on New Suffolk Avenue and Meadow Lane.
I am concerned about just what portion of this property the petition
covers.
I bring to your attention the fact that your d~ed from the heirs
of Alice Case Weber conveys to the main channel. However, the meadow
fronting on the main channel and north of New Suffolk Avenue was never
owned by the Case family and the attorney at the time was so notified.
To support this you will find that no other geed from the Case family, in
this area, conveys to the main channel, nor is it shown on the Town tax
maps. The County tax maps are in error and the authorities have been so
notified.
Further you will note that although your survey shows 8-3/4 acres,
your tax bill only covers some 4 acres. My family and I have been paying
taxes on the remainders, some of it for many years. Our recorded title
goes back for 100 and 150 years respectively. I also hold a confirmatory
deed from the "Commoners."
Since there are few natural landmarks in meadowland, it is to be
expected that some questions ar!se about exact boundaries. I'd like to
suggest that some day quite soon we meet at the site and try to formulate
a boundary line agreement. William Wickham, Esq. is also a part owner
of some of this property.
In conclusion~ let me say that I have spent a great deal of time
searching the 17th and early 18th century records of this T~wn in this
regard and they clearly show that this meadowland did not belong to the
owners of the adjacent upland to the west. Interestingly, they do show
the transfer from the "Commoners" to the upland owner of a meadow parcel
bounded on the southeast by a line from Wild Cherry Tree Point to a stake
in theebeach at the bay. This would be the bed of New Suffolk Avenue
as it swings southeast and with Case prgperty to the south and west.
This last ~etter was written on July 2, 1979. I should have looked through
the file and read this last letter first. His letter on July 5, 1979
states that all of these things have been corrected and the parcel is
'~ SDU~HOLD TOWN BOARD OF APPEALS -22- July 5, 1979
abaut 4.34 acres. That is all the correspondence attached here. ~ f
It appears that the prope~y has been agreed on anyway. Is there
anyone present who wishes to speak for this application?
MR. VICTOR ALES: We are the owners of the property.
MR. DOUGLASS: Would you like to say anything, sir?
MRS. ALES: Not unless someone objects.
MR. ALES: I have talked to Mr. Wickham yesterday and that is the
reason for the letter. We agreed on the disputed land in terms of the
meadowland and the issue I t®ld him was not involved in the meadowland.
It was only concerned with the dry land. At the time he wrote the first
letter he had become alarmed. He thought we were trying to divide the
whole piece of property, which we could not do a~yhow. We came to an
agreement in our division of the property but it would have no effect
as far as I know in terms of our appeal. Because we are only concerned
with Meadow Lane and New Suffolk Avenue at the western end of the pro-
perty which is all dry land. So the last letter from Mr. Wickham is
the one that best describes what we want to do.
MR. DOUGLASS: What do you intend doing? Hold the meadowland in
an independent parcel?
MR. ALES: We intend to deed the meadowland if it is deedable, we
don't know to anyone who buys the property, with the restrictions placed
on i% by New York State. You can not do anything to that land but look
at it.
MR. DOUGLASS: So it will become part of these two lots?
MR. ALES: Definitely. It will be over 2 acres for each parcel.
MRS. ALES: Instead of 8 acres as we thought we had, we will be
dividing 4 acres.
MR. DOUGLASS: Whatever there is there. You will be dividing what-
ever your agreement with the Wickham family is concerning the meadowland
into two. The line of this division will go down throught the meadow.
Each of these two pieces will possess meadowland.
MR. ALES: Yes, app~oximately~two acres.
MR. DOUGLASS: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak against
this application? (there was no response).
After investigation the Board finds that the applicants own a parcel
of land containing approximately 4 acres of property. They wish to divide
the property into two lots, each of which will contain almost two acres
of meadowland. Only one lot on Meadow Lane will have insufficient frontage
of 100 feet instead of the required 150 feet. The Board agrees with the
reasoning of the applicants.
~. , SDU~HOLD TOWN BOARD OF APPEALS ~3- July 5, 1979
The Board finds that strict application of the Ordinance would
produce practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship; the hardship
created is unique and would not be shared by all properties alike in the
immedicate vicinity of the property and in the same use district; and
the variance will not change the character of the neighborhood and will
observe the spirit of the Ordinance.
On motion by Mr. Douglass, seconded by Mr. Grigonis, it was
RESOLVED, that Victor and Marion Ales, Nassau Point Road, Cutchogue,
New York, be GRANTED permission to divide property with insufficient
area and width. Location of property: Meadow Lane, Cutchogue, New York,

An informal discussion was held with Abigail A. Wickham, Esq. for
the right of way off the North Road in Pec~nic. The Board rod~ over the
r~ght-6~-way when theywere out on inspections on June26, 1979.
The Board advised Ms. Wickham that they needed the following information:
(~) Documentation of the width and actual location of the right-of~
way.
(2) Whether or not the county has purchased the development
rights of the surrounding paree~
(3) Whet~er or not the County will allow the ri~ht-of~way through
there if they have the development rights.
After securing this information, Ms. Wickham may apply formally to
the Board for approval of the right-of-way.

cerning the application of Bruce Norris on Love Lane and Sound Avenue
