SUFFOLK COUNTY ADMINISTRATIVE CODE: This application was referred as required under the Suffolk County Administrative Code Sections A 14-14 to 23, and the Suffolk County Department of Planning issued its reply dated November 17, 2011 stating that this application is considered a matter for local determination as there appears to be no significant county-wide or inter-community impact. LWRP DETERMINATION: This application was referred for review under Chapter 268, Waterfront Consistency review of the Town of Southold Town Code and the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) Policy Standards. The LWRP Coordinator issued a recommendation dated November 29, 2011. Based upon the information provided on the LWRP Consistency Assessment Form submitted to this department, as well as the records available to us, it is our determination that the proposed action is CONSISTENT with LWRP policy standards. PROPERTY FACTS/DESCRIPTION: Subject parcel is located in the R-80 zone and contains 82.6 acres. It is improved with three dwellings, a brick building, two garages, 28 seasonal cottages and 20 sheds. The Breezy Shores community is a unique property deeply rooted in the history of the Town.The access to the property is via a private road (Sage Boulevard) and the property is adjacent on the south to Shelter Island Sound, as shown on the survey dated January 25, 2011. The multiple cottages on the property are a pre-existing non-conforming use that was established prior to zoning by the Sage family in the early 1900s. The cottages housed employees of the Sage family brick factory and have been rented as seasonal cottages. In 2000, a real estate cooperative, Breezy Shores Community Inc., was established by the community and shares were offered as an ownership interest in the cooperative. The cottage at issue in this application is known as Cottage no. 5 and is owned by Hernan Otano. BASIS OF APPLICATION: Request for Variances from Article XXIII Code Section 280-123, Article XXII Section 280-116 and the Building Inspector's October 14, 2011, amended October 18, 2011, amended to clarify description of structure dated December 8,2011,Notice of Disapproval based on an application for building permit for demolition and construction of a cottage at; 1)a nonconforming building containing a nonconforming use shall not be enlarged, reconstructed, structurally altered or moved, unless such building is changed to a conforming use, existing cottage is a nonconforming building with a nonconforming use 2) less than the code required bulkhead setback of 75 feet. Page 2 of 3—July 19,2012 ZBA File#6525-Otano CTM: 1000-53-5-12.6 RELIEF REQUESTED: The applicant requests variances to reconstruct a cottage that was demolished and "as built"construction with a nonconforming use where the code permits no enlargement,reconstruction or alterations unless the building is changed to a conforming use, and a bulkhead setback of 50 feet where the code requires 75 feet. AMENDED APPLICATION: During the hearing, the applicant was asked to separate the two variance requests: 1)the nonconformity to be considered under the use variance standards; and 2)the bulkhead setback under the area variance standards. The use variance application was reviewed under Zoning Board file#6557. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The applicant was given a building permit to lift the cottage off the foundation and replace the foundation to conform with FEMA requirements. The applicant demolished the cottage without benefit of a building permit. The cottage is part of an incorporated community. In 1985, a prior owner applied to the Zoning Board of Appeals under file#3320 for permission for a 19 lot subdivision of this property; the request was denied. In 1994, the original owner applied to this Board for permission to continue a discontinued use of renting the cottages, the application was deemed inactive and closed since the applicant never provided the additional requested documents. It is also noted that this property does not have 280A approval. FINDINGS OF FACT/REASONS FOR BOARD ACTION: The Zoning Board of Appeals held a public hearing on this application on December 1,2011,January 5, 2012, March 1,2012 and June 7,2012 at which time written and oral evidence were presented. Based upon all testimony,documentation,personal inspection of the property and surrounding neighborhood,and other evidence, the Zoning Board finds the following facts to be true and relevant and makes the following findings: 1. Town Law §267-b(3)(b)(1). Grant of the variance will not produce an undesirable change in the character of the neighborhood nor a detriment to nearby properties. This unique property represents its own neighborhood of 82.6 acres with substantial wetlands and is far removed from adjacent properties. Thus, no adjacent property owner will be adversely impacted by the proposal. These 28 seasonal cottages on the subject property have been in existence since the early 1900's when they were built for occupancy by workers in the Sage brick factory. In the 1940's, when operation of the brick factory slowed, cottages were rented to summer guests. Each of the adjacent waterfront units are similarly located from the bulkhead and are of similar size. 2. Town Law 4267-b(3)(b)(2). The benefit sought by the applicant can be achieved by some method feasible for the applicant to pursue, other than an area variance. While this Board recognizes the existing proprietary lease on the property that limits the applicant with respect to where he can build a replacement cottage structure, given the ample size of the property, it is feasible for the applicant to construct this structure in a conforming location. It is noted that the proprietary lease is a document that can be changed based upon the needs of the community and its owners. Additionally,the proprietary lease cannot take precedent over the Town Zoning Code. 3. Town Law 4267-b(3)(b)(3). The variance granted herein is mathematically substantial,representing 33%relief from the code. However, in the context of the entire community the variance is not substantial. The non- conforming cottage units have existed in the current location since the 1940's, with each cottage unit in a similar location. The location and size of the proposed structure shall remain the same. 4. Town Law 4267-b(3)(b)(4) A variance in this residential community will not have an adverse impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood. The applicant has stated that it is not feasible to relocate the cottage due to the extent of the flood zone this parcel is located in.Additionally, the changes made to the foundation have made the structure compliant with FEMA. Finally, the applicant shall be required to conform to the requirements of Chapter 236 of the code regarding storm water runoff. 5. Town Law§267-b(3)(b)(5). The difficulty has been self-created. The applicant purchased the parcel after the Zoning Code was in effect and it is presumed that the applicant had actual or constructive knowledge of the Page 3 of 3—July 19,2012 ZBA Filc46525-Otano CTM: 1000-53-5-12.6 limitations on the use of the parcel under the Zoning Code in effect prior to or at the time of purchase. Additionally, the applicant proceeded with a demolition/construction of this structure without the benefit of a building permit. 6. Town Law X267-b. Grant of the requested relief is the minimum action necessary and adequate to enable the applicant to enjoy the benefit of a new seasonal cottage unit while preserving and protecting the character of the neighborhood and the health,safety and welfare of the community. RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD: In considering all of the above factors and applying the balancing test under New York Town Law 267-B, motion was offered by Member Weisman (Chairperson), seconded by Member Goehringer, and duly carried,to GRANT the variance as applied for,and shown on the architectural drawings labeled site plan,floor plan, and cast, west, waterside and entry side elevations, prepared by Fairweather Design Associates dated 11/10/2011 and stamped received by the Board of Appeals on November 10,2011. CONDITIONS: 1. The structure shall be used only as an unheated seasonal cottage 2. No future alterations/renovation or additions on the subject cottage may take place without review by the ZBA,other than necessary minor repairs, as determined by the Building Department. That the above conditions be written into the Building Inspector's Certificate of Occupancy, when issued. Any deviation from the survey,site plan and/or architectural drawings cited in this decision will result in delays andlor a possible denial by the Building Department of a building permit, and may require a new application and public hearing before the Zoning Board of Appeals. Any deviation from the variance(s) granted herein as shown on the architectural drawings, site plan and/or survey cited above, such as alterations, extensions, or demolitions, are not authorized under this application when involving nonconformities under the zoning code. This action does not authorize or condone any current or future use, setback or other feature of the subject property that may violate the Zoning Code, other than such uses, setbacks and other features as are expressly addressed in this action. The Board reserves the right to substitute a similar design that is de minimis in nature for an alteration that does not increase the degree of nonconformity.

SUFFOLK COUNTY ADMINISTRATIVE CODE: This application was referred as required under the Suffolk County Administrative Code Sections A 14-14 to 23, and the Suffolk County Department of Planning issued its reply dated November 17, 2011 stating that this application is considered a matter for local determination as there appears to be no significant county-wide or inter-community impact. LWRP DETERMINATION: This application was referred for review under Chapter 268, Waterfront Consistency review of the Town of Southold Town Code and the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) Policy Standards. The LWRP Coordinator issued his recommendation dated November 29, 2011. Based upon the information provided on the LWRP Consistency Assessment Form submitted to this department, as well as the records available to us, it is our recommendation that the proposed action is CONSISTENT with LWRP policy standards and therefore is CONSISTENT with the LWRP. PROPERTY FACTS/DESCRIPTION: Subject parcel is located in the R-80 zone and contains 82.6 acres. It is improved with three dwellings, a brick building, two garages, 28 seasonal cottages and 20 sheds. The Breezy Shores community is a unique property deeply rooted in the history of the Town.The access to the property is via a private road (Sage Boulevard) and the property is adjacent on the south to Shelter Island Sound, as shown on the survey dated January 25, 2011. The multiple cottages on the property are a pre-existing non-conforming use that was established prior to zoning by the Sage family in the early 1900s. The cottages housed employees of the Sage family brick factory and have been rented as seasonal cottages. In 2000, a real estate cooperative, Breezy Shores Community Inc., was established by the community and shares were offered as an ownership interest in the cooperative. The cottage at issue in this application is known as Cottage no. 5 and is owned by Hernan Otano. BASIS OF APPLICATION: Request for Use Variance under section §280-13 (A)(1)which permits single family detached dwellings, not to exceed one dwelling per lot and from Article XXIII Town Code §280-123 and the Building Inspector's December 12, 2011 Notice of Disapproval, updated March 6, 2012 based on an application for building permit for demolition and construction of a cottage as; 1) a nonconforming building containing a nonconforming use shall not be enlarged, reconstructed, structurally altered or moved unless such building is changed to a conforming use RELIEF REQUESTED: The applicant requests a use variance to permit the demolition and reconstruction of an 807 sq. ft. seasonal cottage.The total 807 square feet includes the habitable space and non-habitable porch, but not Page 2 of6—July 19,2012 ZBA File#6557-Otano CTM: 1000-53-5-12.6 the stairs and landing. The need for a use variance is caused by the request to establish an additional use (non- conforming cottage)on a subject property that already has a principal use(dwelling). ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The applicant originally applied to the ZBA solely for an area variance for the setback of the cottage to the bulkhead. The bulkhead variance is addressed in ZBA decision #6525. During the initial public hearing on this matter, when questioned on whether the demolition of the structure would cause the structure to lose its pre-existing nonconforming status,the applicant's response was that the structure was not being demolished and that, even it if were, that the structure could be permitted under §280-122. After receiving significant testimony from the applicant's representatives and the Town Building Department, the Board requested that the applicant submit an application for a use variance. As such, the Board will address below the issue of whether the structure was demolished; whether this structure constitutes a nonconforming building with a nonconforming use; whether §280-122 permits the demolition and reconstruction of a pre-existing nonconforming structure; and whether the applicant is entitled to a use variance. FINDINGS OF FACT/REASONS FOR BOARD ACTION: The Zoning Board of Appeals held public hearings on this application on December 1, 2011,January 5,2012, March 1,2012 and June 7,2012, at which time written and oral evidence were presented. Based upon all testimony, documentation,personal inspection of the property and surrounding neighborhood,and other evidence, the Zoning Board finds the following facts to be true and relevant and makes the following findings: 1. Demolition Based upon the Notice of Disapproval issued by the Building Department on December 8,2011 and updated on March 6,2012, the proposed action included the demolition and construction of a cottage. It is important to point out that the Notice of Disapproval was issued after a stop work order had been issued on the property and prior to the work being completed on the structure.The applicant presented the following testimony/evidence to illustrate that the proposed construction did not constitute a complete demolition of the structure: 1. A floor plan with its original application dated 11/10/2011 indicating"rebuilt existing walls"and "new walls" 2. A memorandum, received on December 28,2011 that included a listing of items that remained in the structure and items that were re-built 3. A letter from an Architect,Robert I. Brown dated December 13,2011 stating that"less than 50% of the structure had been demolished" At the public hearing on March 1,2012,the Board addressed each item presented by the applicant. The Board noted that the floor plan submitted dated 11/10/2011 indicated that every single external and internal wall of the structure was either being rebuilt or was new. (March 1,2012 Transcript,pg. 6 lines 15-25). Additionally,the Board members and representatives from the Building Department noted that based upon the physical inspection and their experience, it appeared that the applicant took the structure apart piece by piece and reconstructed a major portion of the structure. Both the memorandum and letter from Mr. Brown attested to the work that had been performed up to and until December 10,2011 when the stop work order was issued, but did not account for the additional work that would be required to complete the construction on the structure. Additionally, Mr. Brown's letter did not contain the mathematical support for the calculation,nor did he provide such calculations at or after the public hearing as requested. As such,the statements made therein are simply conclusory with no basis in fact before the Board. On the other hand,and based upon the physical inspection of the structure the Board notes the following items: 1. A new foundation was installed; 2. New plywood siding was installed; Page of6—July 19,2012 ZBA File#6557-Otano CTM: 1000-53-5-12.6 3. New joists were installed; 4. New strapping was installed; 5. A new plate was installed; 6. New plumbing is required; 7. New electric is required; 8. Every window was replaced; 9. Entire porch was replaced; 10. Each wall was replaced; 11. The roof would be replaced; 12. One third of the floor system was replaced. As stated by the Chief Building Inspector at the March 1,2012 hearing(transcript p. 24, line 25,p. 25 line 1) "[i]f you have four walls and you take four walls down it's a demolition," It is obvious that this structure was taken apart and demolished, piece by piece,and replaced with an entirely new structure. As such,this Board finds that the amount of demolition and reconstruction that took place and will take place to complete this structure amounts to a full demolition and the loss of any pre-existing nonconforming status that this building maintained prior to the commencement of any construction. I1. Nonconforming Status of the Structure and Interpretation of 4280-122 A. Nonconforming Status of the Structure As set forth above,the December 12, 2011 Notice of Disapproval(updated March 6,2012)identified this structure as a nonconforming building containing a nonconforming use. Pursuant to §280-123 of the Town Zoning Code: A nonconforming building containing a nonconforming use shall not be enlarged, reconstructed or structurally altered or moved,except as set forth below, unless the use of such building is changed to a conforming use At the January 5,2012 pubic hearing,when asked to explain the language of the Notice of Disapproval, the Building Department Permits Examiner, Patricia Conklin,testified: "I looked at the paperwork. Saw pictures from the Trustees and determined with the site review,determined that it was a nonconforming building.No. 1 because it is a seasonal cottage and its less than 850 square feet. Therefore it fits the category of a nonconforming building.The second part of that nonconforming use is,it's the second structure as a principal building which is on that property. (January 5,2012 transcript,p 88 lines 11-20) We have a second structure after the principal one and have one lot. And then there are subsequent structures,they are not permitted as of right. So that is why it would be sent to you as a nonconforming use. And then in addition,this is a nonconforming building because it's less than 850 square feet,as defined in the Southold [Town Code]." (January 5,2012 transcript, p. 89 lines 3-12) The applicant presented testimony and case law to this Board to support the argument that the cottage was a nonconforming building with a conforming use that should be considered under§280-122. More specifically,the applicant cited Matter of Dawson v, Zoning Board of Appeals of the Town of Southold, 12 A.D.3d 444, 785 N.Y.S.2d 84(2nd Dept. 2004) as legal precedent for the principle that the cottage was a residential use. In Matter of Dawson the Court considered whether a single accessory cottage to a single principle dwelling was a nonconforming building with a conforming use rather than a nonconforming building with a nonconforming use. The analysis was important in that instance to confirm whether the ZBA properly focused upon whether the use had been abandoned for two years under§280-121 which governs nonconforming uses.The Court concluded Page 4 of 6—July 19,2012 ZETA Filc46557-Otano CTM: 1000-53-5-12.6 that the cottage was accessory to the principal dwelling and therefore a nonconforming building with a conforming use. As such, the abandonment provisions of the Town code were not applicable and area variances should have been granted. The facts at issue in this instance are clearly distinguishable from the circumstances present in Dawson. Here,the ZBA is not simply dealing with a single family dwelling and a single accessory cottage. While the Court considered the cottage an established accessory use to a principal dwelling,having 28 cottages as an accessory to a residential use is simply not supported by Dawson. Pursuant to§280-13(A)(1)each lot in the R-80 zone is allowed to have a one-family detached dwelling, not to exceed one dwelling per lot. The intent of the this section is clearly to limit the number of dwellings and residential uses on a single lot and to reinforce the subdivision regulations set forth in Chapter 240 of the Southold Town Code. This property contains three dwellings and 28 seasonal cottages on a single lot. This is further complicated by the fact that this"cottage"does not meet the definition of a dwelling under§280-4,that"cottages" are not addressed as a permissible use anywhere within the Town Code and the Town does not permit cottages as an accessory to a principle dwelling. As such,this cottage is treated as a nonconforming building with a nonconforming use that requires a use variance. B. Interpretation of§280-122 While it is noted that the ZBA does not have to proceed with this issue because it has determined that a use variance is required,the ZBA will issue a determination on whether§280-122 permits an applicant to demolish and reconstruct a structure, in place and in kind,without the need for further variances,as argued by the applicant. Section 280-122 (A)states: Nothing in this article shall be deemed to prevent the remodeling, reconstruction or enlargement of a nonconforming building containing a conforming use, provided that such action does not create any new nonconformance or increase the degree of nonconformance with regard to the regulations pertaining to such buildings. Throughout this proceeding,the applicant has argued that,pursuant to §280-122(A), he was permitted to demolish and reconstruct this structure in place and in kind, in its entirety, without the need for any additional variances. At the public hearing,the ZBA and Building Department provided the applicant with a copy of a memorandum of the ZBA to the Building Department from 2002. (March 1,2012 Transcript,pp 16-21).This memorandum set forth types of"reconstruction"that would not trigger the need for additional variances. Such activities include,but are not limited to: replacement of windows,raising ceiling height without increasing the degree of nonconformity; repair or replacement, in place and in kind,of siding or roofing;or replacement or repair of existing decks,porches or roofs as long as there are no new extension or extensive modifications which increase the degree of nonconformity. From the listing in this memo, it is clear that the ZBA has interpreted §280-122 to allow a property owner to make minor repairs and for minor reconstruction. As such,the term"reconstruction"as used in §280-122(A) does not permit the demolition of an entire structure and replacement in kind without obtaining all required variances. 1I. Use Variance Application: 1. Town Law$267-b(2)(b)(1). The applicant cannot realize a reasonable return for each and every permitted use under the zoning regulations for the particular district where the property is located, demonstrated by competent financial evidence. The applicant provided ample evidence that it is not able to realize a reasonable return from the property without the ability to reconstruct the cottage. The applicant's form of ownership interest in the property is a severely limiting factor. The Applicant retains a share in a cooperative that is governed through a proprietary lease, which permits residential uses only on the property. Any other use permitted under the Town Code is virtually impossible on this property given the cooperative ownership. If not permitted to reconstruct the structure in place and in kind,the applicant's ownership interest has no value and is rendered useless. The applicant Page 5 of 6—July 19,2012 ZBA File#6557-Otano CTM:1000-53-5-12.6 submitted an affidavit regarding the value of the shares in the cooperative, as well as information about comparable sales in the area of the property,as well as information regarding the maintenance and carrying charges on the property. In light of these circumstances,the Board finds that the applicant cannot realize a reasonable return on his property interest. 2. Town Law 4267-b(2)(b)(2).The hardship is unique to the property and it does not apply to a substantial portion of the district or neighborhood. As set forth above, this property is unique given its historic context and the pre- exiting nonconforming nature of the entire community. It is one of a limited number of properties in Southold Town that retain multiple seasonal cottage uses and the only property of this size.The grant of a use variance here will not create a precedent that would apply to other lots in the community and the decision will apply only to this property. 3. Town Law 4267-b(2)(b)Q. The requested use variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. With respect to preserving the character of the neighborhood, it is noted that this parcel is a separate enclave that is sectioned off from the surrounding community. It is an 82 acre parcel, with access via a gated private road. Only those persons who live within Breezy Shores have access thereto. The community is seasonal and the residents utilize the structures primarily from April through October. The seasonal structures are strategically located to take advantage of the water views. Additionally,the location of the reconstructed structure is appropriate within the context of this neighborhood,as the adjacent structures are similarly situated, the location of the structure is where it was originally and the size of the structure will remain unchanged. 4. Town Law 4267-b(2)(b)(4) The alleged hardship has not been self-created. The applicant purchased his interest in the Breezy Shores community and the subject seasonal cottage in 2002. This structure had been in existence for many years and the Breezy Shores community required that the applicant make certain repairs to update the structure, which started with replacing the foundation. Upon raising the house,the applicant discovered that the condition of the structure was significantly worse than expected and that major reconstruction was necessary to make it safe and habitable. 5. Town Law &267-b. Grant of this use variance is the minimum action necessary and adequate to address the unnecessary hardship proven by the applicant, and at the same time preserve and protect the character of the neighborhood and the health, safety and welfare of the community. RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD: In considering all of the above factors and applying the balancing test under New York Town Law 267-B, motion was offered by Member Weisman (Chairperson), seconded by Member Goehringer, and duly carried,to GRANT,the use variance as applied for,subject to the following conditions: CONDITIONS: 1. The structure shall be used only as an unheated seasonal cottage. 2. No future alterations/renovation or additions on the subject cottage may take place without review by the ZBA, other than necessary minor repairs,as determined by the Building Department. That the above conditions be written into the Building Inspector's Certificate of Occupancy, when issued. Any deviation from the survey, site plan and/or architectural drawings cited in this decision will result in delays and/or a possible denial by the Building Department of a building permit, and may require a new application and public hearing before the Zoning Board of Appeals. Any deviation from the variances) granted herein as shown on the architectural drawings, site plan and/or survey cited above, such as alterations, extensions, or demolitions, are not authorized under this application when involving nonconformities under the zoning code. This action does not authorize or condone any current or future use, setback or other feature of the subject property that may violate the Zoning Code, other than such uses, setbacks and other features as are expressly addressed in this action.

SUFFOLK COUNTY ADMINISTRATIVE CODE: This application was referred as required under the Suffolk County Administrative Code Sections A 14-14 to 23, and the Suffolk County Department of Planning issued its reply dated January 8, 2013 stating that this application is considered a matter for local determination as there appears to be no significant county-wide or inter-community impact. LWRP DETERMINATION: This application was referred for review under Chapter 268, Waterfront Consistency review of the Town of Southold Town Code and the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) Policy Standards. The LWRP Coordinator issued a recommendation dated January 8, 2013. Based upon the information provided on the LWRP Consistency Assessment Form submitted to this department, as well as the records available to us, it is our recommendation that the proposed action is EXEMPT from Coastal Consistency Review. PROPERTY FACTS/DESCRIPTION: Subject parcel is located in the R-80 zone and contains 82.6 acres. It is improved with three dwellings, a brick building,two garages, 28 seasonal cottages and 20 sheds.The Breezy Shores community is a unique property deeply rooted in the history of the Town. The access to the property is via a private road(Sage Boulevard)and the property is adjacent on the south to Shelter Island Sound.The multiple cottages on the property are a pre-existing non-conforming use that was established prior to zoning by the Sage family in the early 1900s.The cottages housed employees of the Sage family brick factory and have been rented as seasonal cottages. In 2000,a real estate cooperative, Breezy Shores Community,Inc., was established by the community and shares were offered as an ownership interest in the Cooperative. The cottage at issue in this application is known as Cottage no. 11 and is owned by Naomi Mullman.All as shown on the survey prepared by Howard Young, L.S., entitled Survey for Naomi Mullman,Cottage 11,Breezy Shores,dated July 6, 2012,revised Aug. 1,2012 for General Amendments, Sheets I of 2,and 2 of 2. BASIS OF APPLICATION: Request for Variances from Article XXIII Code Section 280-123, Article XXII Section 280-116 (B) and the Building Inspector's October 22, 2012 Notice of Disapproval based on an application for building permit for additions and alterations to a seasonal cottage at; 1) a nonconforming building containing a nonconforming use shall not be enlarged, reconstructed, structurally altered or moved, unless such building is changed to a conforming use, 2) less than the code required bulkhead setback of 75 feet, located at: 411 Breezy Shores Community, Inc., 65490 Main Road (aka State Route 25) aka Sage Blvd. (adj. to Shelter Island Sound) Greenport,NY. Page 2 of 3—February 28,2013 ZBA File#6622—Breezy Shores Comm.,Inc.(Mullman) CTM: 1000-53-5-12.6(cottage#1 I) RELIEF REQUESTED: The applicant requests variances to construct an addition and alterations to a seasonal cottage with a nonconforming use where the code permits no enlargement, reconstruction or alterations unless the building is changed to a conforming use, and a bulkhead setback of 54.5 feet(as shown on the survey) where the code requires a minimum of 75 feet. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The Board received a letter dated February 1, 2013 from the President of the Breezy Shores Community Corporation indicating approval of the applicant's plans. FINDINGS OF FACT/REASONS FOR BOARD ACTION: The Zoning Board of Appeals held a public hearing on this application on February 7,2013 at which time written and oral evidence were presented. Based upon all testimony,documentation,personal inspection of the property and surrounding neighborhood,and other evidence, the Zoning Board finds the following facts to be true and relevant and makes the following findings: 1. _Town Law&267-bL&b)(1). Grant of the variances will not produce an undesirable change in the character of the neighborhood nor a detriment to nearby properties.This unique property represents its own neighborhood of 82.6 acres with substantial wetlands and is far removed from adjacent properties. Thus,no adjacent property owner will be adversely impacted by the proposal. These 28 seasonal cottages on the subject property have been in existence since the early 1900's when they were built for occupancy by workers in the Sage brick factory. In the 940's,when operation of the brick factory slowed cottages were rented to summer guests.Each of the adjacent waterfront units are similarly located from the bulkhead and are of similar size. 2. Town Law 4267-b(3)(b)(2). The benefit sought by the applicant cannot be achieved by some method, feasible for the applicant to pursue, other than area variances. The existing seasonal cottage is a pre-existing non- conforming building with a pre-existing non-conforming use with a pre-existing non-conforming bulkhead setback of 54.5 feet. Therefore, any proposed additions and alterations will require relief from the code. 3. Town Law§267-b(3)(1b)(3). The variances granted herein are mathematically substantial. Section 280-123 prohibits the enlargement of non-conforming buildings with non-conforming uses. However, the proposed addition of 20.6 square feet to the existing bathroom is 3.1%of the pre-existing cottage foot print which the Board deems to be de minimus in nature and necessary to bring the existing bathroom up to code with a minimum square footage that is functionally practical.All other proposed alterations will be constructed in place and in kind.The variance granted herein for relief from Section 280-116(B) is mathematically substantial,representing 27%relief from the code.However, in the context of the entire community,the variance is not substantial.The nonconforming cottages have existed in their current locations since the 1940's with each waterfront cottage unit having a similar non-conforming bulkhead setback.The location of the proposed structure shall remain the same. 4. Town Law &267-b(3)(b)(4) No evidence has been submitted to suggest that a variance in this residential community will have an adverse impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood. The applicant must comply with Chapter 236 of the Town's Storm Water Management Code. 5. Town Law 4267-b(3)(b)(5). The difficulty has been self-created. The applicant purchased the parcel after the Zoning Code was in effect and it is presumed that the applicant had actual or constructive knowledge of the limitations on the use of the parcel under the Zoning Code in effect prior to or at the time of purchase.However, to the extent that a structure ultimately and unavoidably requires some reconstruction and/or alterations to allow for reasonable improvements to continue the safe use of the structure,the need for variance relief is not self-created but created by the zoning code that now prohibits activities which at one time were not prohibited. 6. Town Law 4267-b. Grant of the requested relief is the minimum action necessary and adequate to enable the applicant to enjoy the benefit of additions and alterations to the seasonal cottage, while preserving and protecting the character of the neighborhood and the health,safety and welfare of the community.

PROPERTY FACTS/DESCRIPTION.- Subject parcel, also known as Breezy Shores, is located in the R-80 zone and contains 82.6 acres. It is improved with three dwellings, a brick building, two garages, 28 seasonal cottages and 20 sheds. The access to the property is via a private road (Sage Boulevard), and the property is adjacent on the south to Shelter Island Sound. The Breezy Shores community is a unique property deeply rooted in the history of the Town. The multiple cottages on the property are a pre-existing, non-conforming use that was established prior to zoning by the Sage family in the early 1900s.The cottages originally housed employees of the Sage family brick factory until it ceased operations, and subsequently, then were rented as seasonal cottages. In 2000, a real estate cooperative, Breezy Shores Community, Inc., was established by the group and shares were offered as an ownership interest in the Cooperative. The cottage at issue in this application is known as Cottage no. 25, and is owned by Ido Mizrahy. This cottage is shown on the survey drawn by Howard W. Young, sheets 1-3, dated March 04, 2013, and building plans drawn by Frank W. Uellendahl, Registered Architect, sheets A]-3, dated April 30, 2013, with latest revision dated July 11, 2013 to shown all proposed additions, and the proposed increase in size from the building existing footprint. Page 2 of 3—.luly 25,2013 Z.BA 46660—Breezy Shores Community,Inc.(Mizrahy) sc,rm#1000-53-5-12.6 BASIS OF APPLICATION: Request for Variance from Article XXIII Code Section 280-123A and the Building Inspector's March 7, 2013 Notice of Disapproval based on an application for building permit for additions and alterations to an existing seasonal cottage at; 1) a nonconforming building containing a nonconforming use shall not be enlarged, reconstructed, structurally altered or moved, unless such building is changed to a conforming use. RELIEF REQUESTED: The applicant requests a variance to renovate the seasonal cottage#25, including a 5.8 sq. ft. new addition for the placement of a water heater, with new Code conforming stepped landings for the entrances, and foundation alterations that will result in a 0.92 increase in the building footprint, and an approximate 16 inch increase in overall building height in order to conform with current building Code relating to interior wall height. AMENDED APPLICATION: During the hearing, the applicant was asked to bring the plan into more conformity with the code. The applicant on July 15, 2013 submitted a plan reducing the size of one proposed stepped landing for a double door entry from 6 0 ft.to 5 x 3 ft.,dimensions that conform to the minimum size required by building code. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Representatives of the Breezy Shores Community expressed support for the Applicant's proposed renovations. FINDINGS OF FACT/REASONS FOR BOARD ACTION: The Zoning Board of Appeals held a public hearing on this application on July 11,2013, at which time written and oral evidence were presented. Based upon all testimony, documentation, personal inspection of the property and surrounding neighborhood,and other evidence, the Zoning Board finds the following facts to be true and relevant and makes the following findings: 1. Town Law 4267-b(3)(b)(1). Grant of the variance will not produce an undesirable change in the character of the neighborhood or a detriment to nearby properties. The building footprint will by expanded by 5.8 sq. ft. from the existing 634 sq. ft. to 639.8 sq. ft. for a total increase in non-conformity of 0.92%. The new stepped landings are the minimum size allowed in order to comply with building code, and are not to be included in the consideration of any overall increase in non-conforming habitable space. The building will remain a single story, seasonally occupied dwelling, in a neighborhood characterized by many similar, seasonally occupied dwellings. 2. Town Law 4267-b(3)(b)(2). The benefit sought by the applicant cannot be achieved by some method, feasible for the applicant to pursue, other than an area variance. Code defines that this seasonal cottage is a part of a larger non-conforming use of multiple dwellings, all co-located on a single residentially zone parcel. Therefore, any structural enlargements or alterations require the grant of a variance. 3. Town Law 4267-b(3)(b)(3). The variance granted herein is not mathematically substantial, representing 0.92% relief from the code,which the Board determines to be de minimus in nature. 4. Town Law§267-b(3)(b)(4) No evidence has been submitted to suggest that a variance in this residential community will have an adverse impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood. The existing building will be temporarily raised in place to facilitate the foundation renovations, and then lowered back onto the foundation. There will be a small increase Of 0.92% to the existing footprint. The applicant must comply with Chapter 236 of the Town's Storm Water Management Code and all other applicable building Code. 5. Town Law §267-b(3)(b)(5). The difficulty has been self-created since the applicant purchased the parcel after the Zoning Code was in effect and it is presumed that the applicant had actual or constructive knowledge of the limitations on the use of the parcel under the Zoning Code in effect prior to or at the time of purchase. However,to the extent that a seasonal structure such as this one periodically requires some degree of reconstruction and/or alterations to continue the safe use of the structure, the need for variance relief is not self-created, but is created by zoning Code that now prohibits an existing use and activities that at one time were not prohibited.

Grant of the requested relief is the minimum action necessary and adequate to enable the applicant to enjoy the benefit of renovations to a seasonal cottage, while preserving and protecting the character of the neighborhood and the health, safety and welfare of the community.

SUFFOLK COUNTY ADMINISTRATIVE CODE: This application was referred as required under the Suffolk County Administrative Code Sections A 14-14 to 23, and the Suffolk County Department of Planning issued its reply dated May 15, 2013 stating that this application is considered a matter for local determination as there appears to be no significant county-wide or inter-community impact. LWRP DETERMINATION: This application was referred for review under Chapter 268, Waterfront Consistency review of the Town of Southold Town Code and the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) Policy Standards. The LWRP Coordinator issued a recommendation dated June 27, 2013. Based upon the information provided on the LWRP Consistency Assessment Form submitted to this department, as well as the records available to us, it is our recommendation that the proposed action is CONSISTENT with LWRP policy standards and therefore is CONSISTENT with the LWRP. PROPERTY FACTS/DESCRIPTION: Subject parcel is located in the R-80 zone and contains 82.6 acres. It is improved with three dwellings, a brick building,two garages, 28 seasonal cottages and 20 sheds. The Breezy Shores community is a unique property deeply rooted in the history of the Town. The access to the property is via a private road (Sage Boulevard)and the property is adjacent on the south to Shelter Island Sound.The multiple cottages on the property are a pre-existing non-conforming use that was established prior to zoning by the Sage family in the early 1900s. The cottages housed employees of the Sage family brick factory and have been rented as seasonal cottages. In 2000,a real estate cooperative, Breezy Shores Community, Inc.,was established by the community and shares were offered as an ownership interest in the Cooperative.The cottage at issue in this application is known as Cottage no. 13 and is owned by Graham Willoughby and Emily Williams. All as shown on the survey prepared by Howard Young, L.S., entitled Survey for Cottage 13 "Breezy Shores" at Greenport, dated Jan. 09,2013. BASIS OF APPLICATION: Request for Variance from Article XXIII Code Section 280-123A and the Building Inspector's March 7, 2013, amended May 2, 2013 Notice of Disapproval based on an application for building permit for additions and alterations to ail existing seasonal cottage at; I)a nonconforming building containing a Page 2 of 3-July 25,2013 ZBA46661—Breezy shores Community,Inc.(Willoughby) SCrM#1000-53-5-12.6 nonconforming use shall not be enlarged, reconstructed, structurally altered or moved, unless such building is changed to a conforming use. RELIEF REOUESTED: The applicant requests a variance to construct a 27 square foot addition for the reconstruction and alterations of the bathroom and mudroom, as shown on the architectural drawings, A-1, A-2, A- 3 and A-4, prepared by Frank Uellendahl, R.A.,dated 04/30/2013. FINDINGS OF FACT/REASONS FOR BOARD ACTION: The Zoning Board of Appeals held a public hearing on this application on July 11,2013,at which time written and oral evidence were presented. Based upon all testimony, documentation, personal inspection of the property and surrounding neighborhood,and other evidence,the Zoning Board finds the following facts to be true and relevant and makes the following findings: 1. Town Law 5267-b(3)(b)(1). Grant of the variance will not produce an undesirable change in the character of the neighborhood nor a detriment to nearby properties. This unique property represents its own neighborhood of 82.6 acres with substantial wetlands and is far removed from adjacent properties.Thus, no adjacent property owner will be adversely impacted by the proposal. These 28 seasonal cottages on the subject property have been in existence since the early 1900's when they were built for occupancy by workers in the Sage brick factory. In the 1940's, when operation of the brick factory slowed cottages were rented to summer guests. Each of the adjacent waterfront units are similarly located from the bulkhead and are of similar size. 2. Town Law §267-b(3)(b)21. The benefit sought by the applicant cannot be achieved by some method, feasible for the applicant to pursue,other than an area variance. The existing seasonal cottage is a non-conforming building with a non-conforming use which, as per the code,requires a variance from Section 280-123 in order to permit any alterations and additions to the seasonal cottage. 3. Town Law 4267-b(3)(b)(3). The variance granted herein for relief from Section 280-123 is mathematically substantial, representing 100% relief from the code. However, the proposed addition of 27 square feet is minimal, representing a 3%expansion of the pre-existing cottage foot print and the proposed alterations will be in kind. 4. Town Law 4267-b(3)(b)(4) No evidence has been submitted to suggest that a variance in this residential community will have an adverse impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood. The applicant must comply with Chapter 236 of the Town's Storm Water Management Code. 5. Town Law 5267-b(3)(b)(5). The difficulty has been self-created. The applicant purchased the parcel after the Zoning Code was in effect and it is presumed that the applicant had actual or constructive knowledge of the limitations on the use of the parcel under the Zoning Code in effect prior to or at the time of purchase. However, to the extent that a structure ultimately and unavoidably requires some reconstruction and/or alterations to allow for reasonable improvements to continue the safe use of the structure, the need for variance relief is not self-created but created by the zoning code that now prohibits activities which at one time were not prohibited 6. Town Law 6267-b. Grant of the requested relief is the minimum action necessary and adequate to enable the applicant to enjoy the benefit of an addition and alterations to the seasonal cottage, while preserving and protecting the character of the neighborhood and the health, safety and welfare of the community. RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD: In considering all of the above factors and applying the balancing test under New York Town Law 267-8, motion was offered by Member Schneider, seconded by Member Goehringer, and duly carried,to GRANT,the variance as applied for, and shown on the architectural drawings, A-1 site plan dated 04/30/2013, last revised 7/11/13, A-2, A-3 and A-4, prepared by Frank Uellendahl, R.A., dated 04/30/2013. Subject to the following conditions; Page 3 of 3-July 25,2013 ZBAN6661—Breezy Shores Community,Inc.(Willoughby) SC"CMN 1000-53-5-12.6 CONDITIONS: 1.

No future alterations or additions on the subject cottage may take place without review by the ZBA, other than necessary minor repairs as determined by the Building Department. That the above conditions be written into the Building Inspector's Certificate of Occupancy, when issued Any deviation from the survey, site plan and/or architectural drawings cited in this decision will result in delays and/or a possible denial by the Building Department of a building permit, and may require a new application and public hearing before the Zoning Board of Appeals. Any deviation from the variance(s)granted herein as shown on the architectural drawings, site plan and/or survey cited above, such as alterations, extensions, or demolitions, are not authorized under this application when involving nonconformities under the zoning code. This action does not authorize or condone any current or future use, setback or other feature of the subject property that may violate the Zoning Code, other than such uses, setbacks and other features as are expressly addressed in this action. The Board reserves the right to substitute a similar design that is de minimis in nature for an alteration that does not increase the degree of nonconformity.

SUFFOLK COUNTY ADMINISTRATIVE CODE: This application was referred as required under the Suffolk County Administrative Code Sections A 14-14 to 23, and the Suffolk County Department of Planning issued its reply dated November 15, 2013 stating that this application is considered a matter for local determination as there appears to be no significant county-wide or inter-community impact.

Based upon the information provided on the LWRP Consistency Assessment Form submitted to this department, as well as the records available to us, it is our recommendation that the proposed action is CONSISTENT with LWRP policy standards and therefore is CONSISTENT with the LWRP. PROPERTY FACTS/DESCRIPTION: Subject parcel is located in the R-80 zone and contains 82.6 acres. It is improved with three dwellings, a brick building, two garages, 28 seasonal cottages and 20 sheds. The Breezy Shores community is a unique property deeply rooted in the history of the Town.The access to the property is via a private road (Sage Boulevard) and the property is adjacent on the south to Shelter Island Sound. The multiple cottages on the property are a pre-existing non-conforming use that was established prior to zoning by the Sage family in the early 1900s.The cottages previously housed employees of the Sage family brick factory,and after the brickyard closed, they were rented as seasonal cottages. In 2000 a real estate cooperative, Breezy Shores Community, Inc.,was established,and shares were offered as an ownership interest in the Cooperative.The cottage at issue in this application is known as Cottage no. 7 and is owned by Steven Flotteron. The cottage, with proposed improvements, is shown on the survey of Breezy Shores prepared by Howard Young, L.S., dated Dec. 30, 2010, and the site plan drawings by Robert I.Brown Architect,P.C.,dated March 24,2014. BASIS OF APPLICATION: Request for Variances from Article XXIII Code Section 280-123, Article XXII Section 280-116 (B) and the Building Inspector's October 31, 2013 Notice of Disapproval based on an application for building permit for additions and alterations to an existing seasonal cottage at; 1) a nonconforming building containing a nonconforming use shall not be enlarged, reconstructed, structurally altered or moved, unless such building is changed to a conforming use,2) less than the code required bulkhead setback of 75 feet. Page 2 of 3-April 17,2014 ZBA46704-Breezy Shores Comm.,Inc. SCTMN 1000-53-5-12.6 RELIEF REOUESTED: The applicant requests a variance to construct additions and alterations to an existing nonconforming seasonal cottage when such changes to a nonconforming structure containing a nonconforming use are not allowed by Code,and a second variance for a 72 feet setback from the bulkhead,where 75 feet is required. AMENDED APPLICATION: During the Dec. 5, 2013 hearing, the applicant was asked to bring the plan into more conformity with the code. The applicant on March 26, 2014 submitted a revised plan that reduced the size of the proposed non-conforming additions and alteration, bringing the plan into more conformity with the codes. Several letters of support were received. The Board of the Breezy Shores Community is in support of the proposal. FINDINGS OF FACT/REASONS FOR BOARD ACTION: The Zoning Board of Appeals held a public hearing on this application on December 5,2013,on February 6,2014, and on April 3,2014,at which time written and oral evidence were presented. Based upon all testimony, documentation,personal inspection of the property and surrounding neighborhood,and other evidence,the Zoning Board finds the following facts to be true and relevant and makes the following findings: 1. Town Law&267-bQ)(b)(1), Grant of the variances will not produce an undesirable change in the character of the neighborhood or a detriment to nearby properties. This unique property represents its own neighborhood of 82.6 acres with substantial wetlands,and it is sufficiently removed from other adjacent neighborhood properties so that no adjacent property owners will be adversely impacted by the proposed structural improvements to seasonally occupied Cottage#7. The additions will be limited to a 2.8% increase in the size of the existing structure. All 28 seasonal cottages on the subject property have been in existence since the early 1900's,when they were constructed for workers in the Sage brick factory. In the 1940's,when operation of the brick factory slowed and then stopped, the cottages were rented to seasonal guests.The adjacent waterfront cottages have similar,pre-existing,non- conforming bulkhead setbacks. 2. Town Law 6267-b(3)(b)(2). The benefit sought by the applicant cannot be achieved by some method, feasible for the applicant to pursue, other than an area variance. The existing seasonal cottage is a pre-existing non- conforming building with a pre-existing non-conforming use. The cottage also has a pre-existing non-conforming bulkhead setback of 72 feet. As a consequence of the non-conforming features any proposed additions and alterations will require relief from the code. 3. Town Law 4267-b13)(b)(3). The variance granted herein for the alterations and additions is mathematically substantial, representing 100%relief from the code because Section 280-123 prohibits the enlargement of non- conforming buildings with non-conforming uses. However,the proposed addition of 20.6 square feet to the existing structure represents a 2.8% increase in the size of the pre-existing cottage footprint.This Board,in prior decisions related to other Breezy Shores applications involving proposed increases of structure sizes of less than 3%, has deemed such increases,particularly when necessary to make interior bathroom or bedroom space more Code conforming,to be de minimus in nature.This applicant's proposed increase in structure size is necessary in order to bring the existing bedrooms up to code required legal size. The variance granted herein for relief from Section 280-116(B)for a 72 feet bulkhead setback where 75 feet is required by Code is not mathematically substantial, representing approximately 4%relief from the code. 4. Town Law 4267-b(3)(b)(4) No evidence has been submitted to suggest that a variance in this residential community will have an adverse impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood. The applicant must comply with Chapter 236 of the Town's Storm Water Management Code. 5. Town Law 11267-b(3)(b)(5). The difficulty has been self-created since the applicant purchased the parcel after the Zoning Code was in effect and it is presumed that the applicant had actual or constructive knowledge of the limitations on the use of the parcel under the Zoning Code in effect prior to or at the time of purchase. However,to the extent that a seasonal structure such as this one periodically requires some degree of reconstruction and/or alterations to continue the safe use of the structure,the need for variance relief is not self-created. Page 3 of 3-April 17,2014 ZBA#6704-Breezy Shores Comm.,Inc. SCTM#1000-53-5-12.6 6. Town Law 4267-b. Grant of the requested relief is the minimum action necessary and adequate to enable the applicant to enjoy the benefit of additions and alterations to the seasonal cottage, including Code compliant bedroom dimensions, while preserving and protecting the character of the neighborhood and the health, safety and welfare of the community. RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD: In considering all of the above factors and applying the balancing test under New York Town Law 267-13, motion was offered by Member Horning, seconded by Member Weisman (Chairperson),and duly carried,to GRANT, the variances as applied for, and shown on the survey of Breezy Shores prepared by Howard Young, L.S,, dated Dec. 30, 2010, and the drawings, titled Site Plan (Flotteron) dated 10/30/2013, Ground Floor dated Mar.24, 2014 and Flotteron Residence dated Mar.24, 2014 all prepared by Robert I_Brown Architect,P.C., subject to the following conditions; CONDITIONS: 1.The cottage use will continue in its current status as an unheated seasonally occupied dwelling. 2.No other alterations or additions may be undertaken without review by the ZBA,except for necessary minor repairs as determined by the Town Building Department. That the above conditions be written into the Building Inspector's Certificate of Occupancy, when issued. Any deviation from the survey, site plan and/or architectural drawings cited in this decision will result in delays and/or a possible denial by the Building Department of a building permit, and may require a new application and public hearing before the Zoning Board of Appeals. Any deviation from the variance(s)granted herein as shown on the architectural drawings, site plan and/or survey cited above, such as alterations, extensions, or demolitions, are not authorized under this application when involving nonconformities under the zoning code. This action does not authorize or condone any current or future use, setback or other feature of the subject property that may violate the Zoning Code, other than such uses, setbacks and other features as are expressly addressed in this action. The Board reserves the right to substitute a similar design that is de minimis in nature for an alteration that does not increase the degree of nonconformity.

LWRP DETERMINATION: This application was referred for review under Chapter 268, Waterfront Consistency review of the Town of Southold Town Code and the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) Policy Standards. The LWRP Coordinator issued a recommendation dated May 26, 2015. Based upon the information provided on the LWRP Consistency Assessment Form submitted to this department,as well as the records available to us,it is our recommendation that the proposed action is .CONSISTENT with LWRP policy standards and therefore is CONSISTENT with the LWRP. PROPERTY FACTS/DESCRIPTION: Subject parcel is located in the R-80 zone and contains 82.6 acres.It is improved with three dwellings,a brick building,two garages,28 seasonal cottages and 20 sheds.The Breezy Shores community is a unique property deeply rooted in the history of the Town.The access to the property is via a private road(Sage Boulevard)and the property is adjacent on the south to Shelter Island Sound.The multiple cottages on the property are a pre-existing non-conforming use that was established prior to zoning by the Sage family in the early 1900s. The cottages housed employees of the Sage family brick factory and have been rented as seasonal cottages. In 2000,the community established a real estate cooperative,Breezy Shores Community,Inc., and shares were offered as an ownership interest in the Cooperative. The cottage at issue in this application is known as Cottage no.4 and is owned by Martha Brooks.All as shown on the survey prepared by Howard Young,L.S., dated January 9,2013 and a site plan by Robert I Brown,Architect,dated August 18,2014. BASIS OF APPLICATION: Request for Variance(s) from Article XXIII Code Section 280-123, Article XXII Section 280-116 (B) and the Building Inspector's January 12,2015 Notice of Disapproval based on I Page 2 of 3—June 18,2015 ZBA File#6862—Breezy Shores(Brooks) SCTM#1000-53-5-12.6 an application for building permit to add and alter, to include raising an existing seasonal cottage at; 1) a nonconforming building containing a nonconforming use shall not be enlarged, reconstructed,structurally altered or moved, unless such building is changed to a conforming use, 2) less than the code required bulkhead setback of 75 feet. RELIEF REQUESTED: The applicant requests variances to make alterations to a seasonal cottage with a nonconforming use where the code permits no enlargement, reconstruction or alterations unless the building is changed to a conforming use, and a non-conforming bulkhead setback of 59.5 feet where the code requires a minimum of 75 feet. I ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The Board received a letter dated July 29, 2014 from the Secretary of the Breezy Shores Community Corporation indicating approval of the applicant's plans. i I FINDINGS OF FACT/REASONS FOR BOARD ACTION: The Zoning Board of Appeals held a public hearing on this application on June 4,2015 at which time written and oral evidence were presented. Based upon all testimony,documentation,personal inspection of the property and surrounding neighborhood,and other evidence,the Zoning Board finds the following facts to be true and relevant and makes the following findings: 1. Town Law§267-b(3)(b)(1). Grant of the variances will not produce an undesirable change in the character of the neighborhood nor a detriment to nearby properties.This unique property represents its own neighborhood of 82.6 acres with substantial wetlands and is far removed from adjacent properties. Thus,no adjacent property owner will be adversely impacted by the proposal.These 28 seasonal cottages on the subject property have been in existence since the early 1900's when they were built for occupancy by workers in the Sage brick factory. In the 1940's,when operation of the brick factory slowed cottages were rented to summer guests.Each of the adjacent waterfront units are similarly located from the bulkhead and are of similar size. 2. Town Law§267-b(3)(b)(2).The benefit sought by the applicant cannot be achieved by some method, feasible for the applicant to pursue, other than area variances. The existing seasonal cottage is a pre- existing non-conforming building with a pre-existing non-conforming use with a pre-existing non- conforming bulkhead setback of 59.4 feet. Therefore, any proposed additions and alterations will require relief from the code. 3. Town Law§267-b(3)(b)(3). The variances granted herein are mathematically substantial. The variance for Section 280-123 represents 100%relief because the code prohibits the enlargement of non- conforming buildings with non-conforming uses. However,the proposed.addition of a door with a 4' x 4' landing on the west side of the cottage and a sliding glass door with a 4' by 8' landing on the East side of the cottage will add 2.22%to the existing footprint. This is in line with de minimus additions the ZBA has granted in previous decisions. In the context of the entire community,the variance is not substantial. The variance for the bulkhead setback is substantial representing 21%relief from the code. However,the nonconforming cottages have existed in their current locations since the 1940's with each waterfront cottage unit having a similar non-conforming bulkhead setback.The location of the proposed structure shall remain the same. i 4. Town .Law 4267-b(3)(b)(4) No evidence has been submitted to suggest that a variance in this residential community will have an adverse impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood. The applicant must comply with Chapter 236 of the Town's Storm Water Management Code. f Page 3 of 3—June 18,2015 ZBA File#6862—Breezy Shores(Brooks) SUM#1000-53-5-12.6 5. Town Law$267-b(3)(b)(5). The difficulty has been self-created. The applicant purchased the parcel after the Zoning Code was in effect and it is presumed that the applicant had actual or constructive knowledge of the limitations on the use of the parcel under the Zoning Code in effect prior to or at the time of purchase. However,to the extent that a structure ultimately and unavoidably requires some reconstruction and/or alterations to allow for reasonable improvements to continue the safe use of the structure,the need for variance relief is not self-created but created by the zoning code that now prohibits activities which at one time were not prohibited. 6. Town Law 5267-b. Grant of the requested relief is the minimum action necessary and adequate to enable the applicant to enjoy the benefit of additions and alterations to the seasonal cottage, while preserving and protecting the character of the neighborhood and the health, safety and welfare of the community. RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD: In considering all of the above factors and applying the balancing test under New York Town Law 267-B, motion was offered by Member Dantes, seconded by Member Goehringer, and duly carried,to GRANT, the variances as applied for, and shown on the Architectural'plans by Robert I. Brown, Architect labeled site plan, foundation plan, existing floor plan, road side, west, water side, and east elevations,and section for phases I and II and dated March 3,2015. Any deviation from the survey,site plan and/or architectural drawings cited in this decision will result in delays and/or a possible denial by the Building Department of a building permit, and may require a new application and public hearing before the Zoning Board of Appeals. Any deviation from the variance(s)granted herein as shown on the architectural drawings, site plan and/or survey cited above, such as alterations, extensions, or demolitions, are not authorized under this application when involving nonconformities under the zoning code. This action does not authorize or condone any current or future use, setback or other feature of the subject property that may violate the Zoning Code, other than such uses, setbacks and other features as are expressly addressed in this action. The Board reserves the right to substitute a similar design that is de minimis in nature for an alteration that does not increase the degree of nonconformity. Pursuant to Chapter 280-146(B) of the Code of the Town of Southold any variance granted by the Board of Appeals shall become null and void where a Certificate of Occupancy has not been procured,and/or a subdivision map has not been filed with the Suffolk County Clerk,within three (3)years from the date such variance was granted.

SUFFOLK COUNTY ADMINISTRATIVE CODE: This application was referred as required under the Suffolk County Administrative Code Sections A 14-14 to 23, and the Suffolk County Department of Planning issued its reply dated Feb. 19,2016 stating that this application is considered a matter for local determination as there appears to be no significant county-wide or inter-community impact. LWRP DETERMINATION: This application was referred for review under Chapter 268, Waterfront Consistency review of the Town of Southold Town Code and the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) Policy Standards. The LWRP Coordinator issued a recommendation dated March 8, 2016. Based upon the information provided on the LWRP Consistency Assessment Form submitted to this department, as well as the records available to us, it is our recommendation that the proposed action is the LWRP CONSISTENT with LWRP policy standards and therefore is CONSISTENT with the LWRP. PROPERTY FACTS/DESCRIPTION: _ Subject parcel is located in the R-80 zone and contains 82.6 acres. It is improved with three dwellings, a brick building, two garages, 28 seasonal cottages and 20 sheds. Access to the property is via Sage Boulevard, which is a private road, and the property is adjacent on the south to Shelter Island Sound. The Breezy Shores community is a unique property deeply rooted in the history of the Town. The multiple cottages on the property are a pre-existing non-conforming use that was established prior to zoning by the Sage family in the early 1900s.The cottages previously housed employees of the Sage family brick factory,and after the brickyard closed, they were rented as seasonal cottages. In 2000 a real estate cooperative, Breezy Shores Community, Inc. was established,and shares were offered as an ownership interest in the Cooperative.The cottage at issue in this application is known as Cottage #8 and is owned by Jason Schmidt. The cottage, with proposed improvements, is shown on the survey of Breezy Shores prepared by Frank Uellendahl,dated Feb. 02,2016. BASIS OF APPLICATION: Requdst for Variances from Article XXIII Code Section 280-123 and the Building Inspector's February 3, 2016 Notice of Disapproval based on an application for building permit to construct additions and alterations to an existing seasonal cottage at; 1) a nonconforming building containing a nonconforming use shall not be enlarged, reconstructed, structurally altered or moved, unless such building is changed to a conforming use. Page 2 of 3—April 21,2016 ZBA#6934—Breezy Shores Community(Schmidt) SCTM#1000-53-5-12.6 RELIEF REQUESTED: The applicant requests a variance to construct additions and alterations to an existing nonconforming seasonal cottage when such changes to a nonconforming structure containing a nonconforming use are not allowed by Code. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The file contains a memo submitted by the Board of Breezy Shores, Inc., dated Jan.29,2016,stating their approval of the applicant's proposed cottage renovation. FINDINGS OF FACT/REASONS FOR BOARD ACTION: The Zoning Board of Appeals held a public hearing on this application on April 7,2016,at which time written and oral evidence were presented. Based upon all testimony, documentation,personal inspection of the property and surrounding neighborhood,and other evidence,the Zoning Board finds the following facts to be true and relevant and makes the following findings: 1. Town Law 4267-b(3)(b)(1). Grant of the variance will not produce an undesirable change in the character of the neighborhood or a detriment to nearby properties. This unique property represents its own neighborhood of 82.6 acres. It contains a substantial buffer of wetlands along the northerly boundary of the property,and the enclave of cottages is sufficiently removed from other adjacent neighborhood properties so that adjacent property owners will not be adversely impacted by the proposed structural improvements to seasonally occupied Cottage 98. 2. Town Law §267-b(3)(b)(2). The benefit sought by the applicant cannot be achieved by some method, feasible for the applicant to pursue, other than an area variance. The existing seasonal cottage is a pre-existing non- conforming building with a pre-existing non-conforming use. As a consequence of the non-conforming status,any proposed additions and alterations will require relief from the code. 3. Town Law$267-b(3)(b)(3).The variance granted herein for the alterations and additions is mathematically substantial,representing 100%relief from the code because Section 280-123 prohibits the enlargement of non- conforming buildings with non-conforming uses. However,the proposed addition of 21 square feet to the existing structure represents a 2.98% increase in the size of the pre-existing cottage footprint.This Board, in prior decisions related to other Breezy Shores applications involving proposed increases of structure sizes of less than 3%,has deemed that such increases,particularly when necessary to make interior bathroom or bedroom space more Code conforming,to be de minimus in nature. This applicant's proposed increase in structure size is necessary in order to bring the existing bedrooms up to code required legal size. 4. Town Law 4267-b(3)(b)(4) No evidence has been submitted to suggest that a variance in this residential community will have an adverse impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood. The applicant must comply with Chapter 236 of the Town's Storm Water Management Code.The cottage will be raised 12-14 inches to provide additional protection from potential storm surge flooding. 5. Town Law 4267-b(3)(b)(5). The difficulty has been self-created since the applicant purchased the parcel after the Zoning Code was in effect and it is presumed that the applicant had actual or constructive knowledge of the limitations on the use of the parcel under the Zoning Code in effect prior to or at the time of purchase.However,to the extent that a seasonal structure such as this one periodically requires some degree of reconstruction and/or alterations to continue the safe use of the structure,the need for variance relief is not self-created, but is created by zoning Code that now prohibits an existing use and activities that at one time were not prohibited. 6. Town Law $267-b. Grant of the requested relief is the minimum action necessary and adequate to enable the applicant to enjoy the benefit of renovations,while preserving and protecting the character of the neighborhood and the health, safety and welfare of the community. Page 3 of 3—April 21,2016 ZBA#6934—Breezy Shores Community(Schmidt) SCTM#1000-53-5-12.6 RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD: In considering all of the above factors and applying the balancing test under New York Town Law 267-B, motion was offered by Member Horning, seconded by Member Weisman (Chairperson),and duly carried,to GRANT the variance as applied for, and shown on the survey of Breezy Shores prepared by Frank Uellendahl, dated Feb. 02,2016.

That the above conditions be written into the Building Inspector's Certificate of Occupancy, when issued. Any deviation from the survey, site plan and/or architectural drawings cited in this decision will result in delays and/or a possible denial by the Building Department of a building permit, and may require a new application and public hearing before the Zoning Board of Appeals. Any deviation from the variance(s)granted herein as shown on the architectural drawings, site plan and/or survey cited above, such as alterations, extensions, or demolitions, are not authorized under this application when involving nonconformities under the zoning code.

The Board reserves the right to substitute a similar design that is de minimis in nature for an alteration that does not increase the degree of nonconformity. Pursuant to Chapter 280-146(B) of the Code of the Town of Southold any variance granted by the Board of Appeals shall become null and void where a Certificate of Occupancy has not been procured, and/or a subdivision map has not been filed with the Suffolk County Clerk,within three (3)years from the date such variance was granted.

SEQRA DETERMINATION: The Zoning Board of Appeals has visited the property under consideration in this application and determines that this review falls under the Type II category of the State's List of Actions,without further steps under SEQRA. SUFFOLK COUNTY ADMINISTRATIVE CODE: This application was referred as required under the Suffolk County Administrative Code Sections A 14-14 to 23, and the Suffolk County Department of Planning issued its reply dated August 24, 2018 stating that this application is considered a matter for local determination as there appears to be no significant county-wide or inter-community impact. LWRP DETERMINATION: This application was referred for review under Chapter 268, Waterfront Consistency review of the Town of Southold Town Code and the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) Policy Standards. The LWRP Coordinator issued his recommendation dated November 26, 2018. Based upon the information provided on the LWRP Consistency Assessment Form submitted, as well as the records available, it is recommended that the proposed action is CONSISTENT with LWRP policy standards and therefore is CONSISTENT with the LWRP. PROPERTY FACTS/DESCRIPTION: Subject parcel is located in the R-80 Zoning District and contains 82.6 acres. It is improved with three dwellings, a brick building, two garages, 28 seasonal cottages and 20 sheds. Access to the property is via Sage Boulevard, which is a private road, and the property is adjacent on the south to Shelter Island Sound. The Breezy Shores community is a unique property deeply rooted in the history of the Town. The multiple cottages on the property are pre-existing non-conforming use that was established prior to zoning by the Sage family in the early 1900's. The cottages previously housed employees of the Sage family brick factory, and after the brickyard closed, they were rented as seasonal cottages.

Page 2,December 20,2018 #7223,Nelson SCTM No. 1000-53-5-12 6 BASIS OF APPLICATION: Request for a Variance from Article XXIIi, Section 280-123 and the Building Inspector's June 25, 2018, Notice of Disapproval based on an application for a building permit to make additions and alterations to an existing seasonal cottage,at; 1)a non-conforming building containing a non-conforming use shall not be enlarged, reconstructed, structurally altered or moved, unless such building is changed to a conforming use; at: 65490 Route 25, (aka Sage Boulevard, Breezy Shores Cottage #24, Adj. to Shelter Island Sound) Greenport,NY. SCTM#1000-53-5-12.6. RELIEF REQUESTED: The applicant requests a variance to construct additions and alterations to an existing nonconforming seasonal cottage by adding 13 sq. ft. addition, resulting in 2.4% increase in size, when such changes to a nonconforming structure containing a nonconforming use are not allowed by Town Code. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The file contains a memo submitted by the Board of Breezy Shores Inc., dated June 11, 2018, stating their approval of the applicants proposed cottage renovation. Included in the application packet, the applicant submitted eight prior decisions which granted variances for various cottages in the Breezy Shores Community. These decisions consisted of an interpretation and a use variance issued in 2011 and six decisions for area variances granting the applicants the ability to alter and construct less than 3.1% in increases to the size of their cottages. Email correspondence was received from a neighbor expressing support for the planned renovations. In addition to the proposed improvements, the cottage will be raised in order to comply with FEMA Flood Zone regulations. FINDINGS OF FACT/REASONS FOR BOARD ACTION: The Zoning Board of Appeals held a public hearing on this application on December 6,2018,at which time written and oral evidence were presented. Based upon all testimony, documentation,personal inspection of the property and surrounding neighborhood, and other evidence,the Zoning Board finds the following facts to be true and relevant and makes the following findings: 1. Town Law 4267-b(3)(b)(1). Grant of the variance will not produce an undesirable change in the character of the neighborhood or a detriment to nearby properties. This unique property having been in existence since the early 1900's represents its own neighborhood of 82.6 acres with substantial buffer of wetlands along the northern boundary of the property. Furthermore, the enclave of cottages is sufficiently removed from other adjacent neighborhood properties so that property owners will not be impacted by the proposal. 2. Town Law 4267-b(3)(b)(2). The benefit sought by the applicant cannot be achieved by some method, feasible for the applicant to pursue, other than an area variance. The existing seasonal cottage is a pre-existing non- conforming building with a pre-existing non-conforming use. As a consequence of the non-conforming status,any proposed additions and alterations will require relief from the code. 3. Town Law 4267-b(3)(b)(3). The variance(s) granted herein granted herein for the alterations and additions is mathematically substantial, representing 100% relief from the code because Section 280-123 prohibits the enlargement of non-conforming buildings with non-conforming uses. However,the proposed addition of 13 square feet to the existing structure represents 2.42 % increase in the size of the pre-existing cottage footprint. The Board in prior decisions related to other Breezy Shore applications involving proposed increases of structure less than 3%, has deemed such increases, to be de minimus in nature. This applicants' proposed increase in structure size is minor and is just squaring off the building that is being lifted to conform to FEMA regulations. 4. Town Law 4267-b(3)(b)(4). No evidence has been submitted to suggest that a variance in this residential community will have an adverse impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood. The applicant must comply with Chapter 236 of the Town's Storm Water Management Code. The cottage will be also Page 3, December 20,2018 #7223,Nelson SCTM No. 1000-53-5-12.6 be raised to comply with current FEMA requirements to provide additional protection from potential storm surge flooding. 5. Town Law 4267-b(3)(b)(5). The difficulty has been self-created since the applicant purchased the parcel after the Zoning Code was in effect and it is presumed that the applicant had actual or constructive knowledge of the limitations on the use of the parcel under the Zoning Code in effect prior to or at the time of purchase. However,to the extent that a seasonal structure such as this that periodically requires some degree of reconstruction and/or alterations in order to continue the safe use of the structure, the need for variance relief is not self-created, but is created by Zoning Code that now prohibits an existing use and activities that at one time were not prohibited. 6. Town Law 4267-b. Grant of the requested relief is the minimum action necessary and adequate to enable the applicant to enjoy the benefit of renovations and an addition to the cottage while preserving and protecting the character of the neighborhood and the health,safety and welfare of the community. RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD: In considering all of the above factors and applying the balancing test under New York Town Law 267-13, motion was offered by Member Lehnert, seconded by Member Dantes, and duly carried,to GRANT the variance as applied for, and shown on the site plan of Breezy Shores, Cottage #24, prepared by Frank Uellendahl, R.A.dated June 14,2018.

Based upon the information provided on the LWRP Consistency Assessment Form submitted to this department,as well as the records available, it is recommended that the proposed action is EXEMPT from LWRP policy review and considered a Minor Action. PROPERTY FACTS/DESCRIPTION: Subject parcel is located in the R-80 Zoning District and contains 82.6 acres. It is improved with three dwellings,a brick building,two garages,28 seasonal cottages and 20 sheds. Access to the property is via Sage Boulevard, which is a private road, and the property is adjacent on the south to Shelter Island Sound. The Breezy Shores community is a unique property deeply rooted in the history of the Town. The multiple cottages on the property are pre-existing non-conforming use that was established prior to zoning by the Sage family in the early 1900's. The cottages previously housed employees of the Sage family brick factory, and after the brickyard closed,they were rented as seasonal cottages. In 2000,a real estate cooperative,Breezy Shores Community Inc. was established, and shares were offered as an ownership interest in the Cooperative. The cottage at issue in this application is known as Cottage # 16. , as shown on a survey prepared by Howard W. Young, L.S. dated December 12, 2013 and a Site Plan of Breezy Shores, showing proposed improvements of 17 sq. ft. prepared by Frank Ueullendahl, last revised October 12,2020. BASIS OF APPLICATION: Request for a Variance from Article XXIII, Section 280-123 and the Building Inspector's December 8,2020 Notice of Disapproval based on an application for a permit to construct additions and alterations to an existing seasonal cottage; at 1) a non-conforming building containing a non-conforming use shall Page 2,February 24,2021 #7461,Sakas STM No. 1000-53-5-12.6 not be enlarged, reconstructed, structurally altered or moved, unless such building is changed to a conforming use; at: 65490 Route 25, (Breezy Shores Cottage#16,Adj.to Shelter Island Sound)Greenport,NY. SCTM#1000-53-5- 12.6. RELIEF REQUESTED: The applicant requests a variance to construct additions and alterations to an existing nonconforming seasonal cottage measuring an additional 17 sq.ft.,less than 3%increase in overall size,when such changes to a nonconforming structure containing a nonconforming use are not allowed by the Town Code. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The file contains a memo submitted by the Board of Breezy Shores Inc., dated November 25,2020,stating their approval of the applicants proposed cottage renovation. FINDINGS OF FACT/REASONS FOR BOARD ACTION: The Zoning Board of Appeals held a public hearing on this application on February 4,2021,at which time written and oral evidence were presented. Based upon all testimony,documentation,personal inspection of the property and surrounding neighborhood,and other evidence,the Zoning Board finds the following facts to be true and relevant and makes the following findings: L'Town Law 4267-b(3)(b)(D Grant of the variance will not produce an undesirable change in the character of the neighborhood or a detriment to nearby properties. This unique property represents its own neighborhood of 82.6 acres. It contains substantial buffer of wetlands along the northern boundary of the property, and the enclave of cottages is sufficiently removed from other adjacent neighborhood properties so that adjacent property owners will not be affected by an additions and alterations. 2. Town Law 4267-b(3)(b)(2). The benefit sought by the applicant cannot be achieved by some method, feasible for the applicant-to pursue, other than an area variance. The existing seasonal cottage is a pre-existing non- conforming building with a pre-existing non-conforming use. As a consequence of the non-conforming status,any proposed additions and alterations will require relief from the code. 3. Town Law 4267-b(3)(b)(3). The variance granted herein granted herein for the alterations and additions is mathematically substantial, representing 100% relief from the code because Section 280-123 prohibits the enlargement of non-conforming buildings with non-conforming uses. However,the proposed addition of 17 square feet to the existing structure represents 2.95 % increase in the size of the pre-existing cottage footprint, and the purpose of the alterations are to upgrade the bathroom,replace and raise the porch roof in order to be code compliant, and to add a loft dormer. In prior decisions related to other Breezy Shore applications involving proposed increases of 3%or less in the size of these pre-existing non-conforming cottages,the Board has determined that such increases are reasonable and necessary for maintenance and updates and are de minimus in nature. 4. Town Law &267-b(3)(b)(4). No evidence has been submitted to suggest that a variance in this residential community will have an adverse impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood. The applicant must comply with Chapter 236 of the Town's Storm Water Management Code. 5. Town Law§267-b(3)(b)(5). The difficulty has been self-created since the applicant purchased the parcel after the Zoning Code was in effect and it is presumed that the applicant had actual or constructive knowledge of the limitations on the use of the parcel under the Zoning Code in effect prior to or at the time of purchase. However,to the extent that a seasonal structure such as this one periodically requires some degree of reconstruction and/or alterations to continue the safe use of the structure,the need for variance relief is not self-created,but is created by Zoning Code that now prohibits an existing use and activities that at one time were not prohibited. Page 3,February 24,2021 #7461,Sakas STM No. 1000-53-5-12.6 6. Town Law &267-b. Grant of the requested relief is the minimum action necessary and adequate to enable the applicant to enjoy the benefit of renovations and additions while preserving and protecting the character of the neighborhood and the health,safety and welfare of the community. RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD:In considering all of the above factors and applying the balancing test under New York Town Law 267-B,motion was offered by Member Lehnert,seconded by Member Acampora,and duly carried, to GRANT the variance as applied for, and shown on a Site Plan of Breezy Shores, and Architectural Drawings, all last revised October 12,2020,prepared by Frank Ueullendahl,Architect.

No other alterations or additions may be undertaken without review by the ZBA,except for necessary minor repairs as determined by the Town Building Department. That the above conditions be written into the Building Inspector's Certificate of Occupancy, when issued. Any deviation from the survey, site plan and/or architectural drawings cited in this decision will result in delays and/or a possible denial by the Building Department of a building permit, and may require a new application and public hearing before the Zoning Board of Appeals. Any deviation from the variance(s)granted herein as shown on the architectural drawings, site plan and/or survey cited above,such as alterations, extensions, or demolitions,are not authorized under this application when involving nonconformities under the zoning code.
