PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal No. 2708. Application of LOUIS and
CARMELA RAMUNNI, 691 Walt Whitman Road, Melville, New York 11746,
for a Variance for approval of access, New York Town Law Section
280A. Location of properties: Southwest side of Horton's Lane,
Southold; bounded northeast by Horton's Lane, southwest by Jen-
nings, northwest by Romeo, Laria, Czelatka, Corwin, Sepenoski;
southeast by Conway; County Tax Map Item No. 1000-54-7-18.
The Chairman opened the hearing at 7:35 p.m. by reading
the appeal application, legal notice of hearing and affidavits
attesting to its publication in the local and official newspapers,
Notice of Disapproval from the Building Inspector, and letter
from the Town Clerk that notification to adjoining property owners
was made; fee paid $15.00.
MR. CHAIRMAN: We have a survey and a copy of the County
Tax Map. Is there anyone here to speak in favor of this?
RENSSELAER G. TERRY, JR., ESQ.: Mr. Chairman, Members of
the Board. I appear here on behalf of Louis R~munni and Carmela
Ramunni, and ask your favorable consideration of this application.
I have here an original map signed by the Chairman of the Planning
Board, John Wickham, on May 30th, 1973, and I'll give you a photo-
copy of same, with the indication of the area and the size of the
SOuthold Town Board of Appeals -2-
July 1, 1980
plot which is proposed to be sold, and the indication of the
four lots on the map and the location of the house for which
the Certificate of Occupancy was issued back in 1973. This
is, I think ~erhaps an oversight all around, that it was not
understood by Mr. Ramunni at the time that the minor subdivision
was granted that there was going to be any further requirement
because I think he felt that when they approved the map as a
minor subdivision, it was a natural assumption that they
approved the road, which apparently is the function of the
Zoning Board of Appeals rather than the Planning Board. Mr.
Ramunni has had the house for seven years on the property,
and of course that's had access to the property. The road
originally went in, he had in the nature of a driveway which
had been packed down and at the time of the selling in order
to have this lot available, he opened this roadway, and there
has been some discussion as to the adequacy of the road; and
I would ask that since this should have been, the approval
should have been obtained at the time of the map that the
requirements as adopted in 1979 not be required on this be-
cause I think that it would be only fair to say that he, Mr.
Ramunni should only be required to do what would have been
required in 1973 when this map was approved. I think that
this road is now an adequate road there, and that the people
what they're concerned about is that they have adequate access
to the property. Mr. Ramunni has engaged Mr. Dickerson to
put some additional work on this road. I don't know whether
the members of the Board have seen this road or not--
MR. CHAIRMAN: Yes, we were down there.
MR. TERRY: So that you know the nature and extent of
it. I will leave this with you (survey). But I think under
the circumstances where it's been in existence for some seven
years that the subdivision itself is of no benefit to him.
I mean he would be deprived of selling his property if he
can't have access to the back lot. The only thing else he
could do, perhaps is to sell the'whole thing as one parcel.
I think that the neighbors are, I would not expect that they
would complain because of the fact that these are, I believe,
larger area lots than the neighboring lots around them. The
south parcel is also farmland and woodland so that it cer-
tainly wouldn't change the character of the neighborhood and
it is a nice development for the community. So without due
I would ask your favorable consideration and some consideration
as to the waiver of your requirement as far as the improvement
of the road, because it would seem only fair that he should be
required just to put the road in the condition that you would
have asked in 1973, because this is what he should have had at
the time. And I think that probably if. the people had then
explained to him what he should do, that he would need the
Board of Appeals' approval, that he would have asked for it.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Thank you, Renny. Is there anyone else
SOuthold Town Board of Appeals -3- July 1,' 1980
wishing to speak? Is there anycne wishing to speak against this
proposition? i
MR. JOHN KING: I am the n~w owner.
MR. CHAIRMAN: So I assume you are for it?
MR. KING: I just want to make sure that it is acceptable
to the Town.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Can you give your name to the secretary please?
MR. KING: John King.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Do any of the members on the Board have ques-
tions? Gerry? Bob?
MEMBER DOUGLASS: Well, I think you ought to ask him about
who will be using the access.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Serge, do you have anything? Mr. Terry, do you
know, or Mr. Ramunni, or Mr. King, how many of the other two lots
would be using this roadway as an access, or would they go out to
Horton's Lane?
MR. TERRY: Well, I suppose that they would probably, that is
certainly the lot on the rear, would use it as access, and the other
two lots it would be discretionary with them; but presumably because
as time goes on Horton's Lane would probably become more active they
might very well want to drive in part way. Now this size lot it is
my understanding that as part of this granting of the minor subdivi-
sion, that they cannot be further subdivided, so that each parcel is
a substantially larger parcel than the Oakridge Hills to the north.
And I think it's an asset to the community myself.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Yes. It's upgrading it.
MEMBER GOEHRINGER: Mr. Terry, the only one who would really
have access to the road then would be these two lots? (Rear lots)
MR. TERRY: Those two lots, and then of course these two
(front/corner lots) also would have, if they would have the oppor-
tunity of coming in and say, if they wanted to bring their driveway
into the rear, I would suspect that they wouldn't, but they could
very well.
MEMBER DOUGLASS: That's probably what they will do.
MR. CHAIRMAN: I-~think it would be safety.~
MR. TERRY: Yes, it would from a safety standpoint, a traffic
standpoint, it would be beneficial I think. Yes.
Southold Town Board of Appeals -4- July 1, 1980
MR. TERRY: So I would ask your favorable consideration of
this application.
MEMBER DOUGLASS: I'll make a motion that we close the
hearing and reserve decision, holding the decision in abeyance.
MEMBER GOEHRINGER: I'll second it.
On motion by Mr. Douglass, seconded by Mr. Goehringer, it
was
RESOLVED, to close the hearing and RESERVE DECISION regard-

the appeal application, legal notice of hearing and affidavits
attesting to its publication in the local and official newspapers,
Notice of Disapproval from the Building Inspector, and letter
from the Town Clerk that notification to adjoining property owners
was made; fee paid $15.00.
MR. CHAIRMAN: We have a copy of the County Tax Map showing
the surrounding properties. We also have a survey of this
property. It sure is an unusual piece of property. It goes
right down from nothing between two roads coming together. Is
there anyone here to speak for this? (There was no response.)
Anyone here to speak against it? (There was no response.)
MEMBER DOUGLASS: I'll make a motion to close the hearing
and reserve decision.

~PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal No. 2709. Application of HERBERT W.
WELLS, JR., Pine Neck Road, Southold, New York for a Variance to
the Zoning Ordinance, Article VII, Section 100-70C for permission
to erect three signs. Location of property: North side of Main
Road, Peconic, New York; County Tax Map Item No. 1000-75-01-14.
The Chairman opened the hearing at 8:00 p.m. by reading
the appeal application, legal notice of hearing and affidavits
attesting to its publication in the local and official newspapers,
Notice of Disapproval from the Building Inspector, and letter
from the Town Clerk that notification to adjoining property owners
was made; fee paid $15.00.
MR. CHAIRMAN: We have the following letter in the file:
... Signed by Lillian A. Gozelski, 60rton Drive, East North-
port, New York:
Objection to: Subaru Module Sign with Four-Foot Letters
on east border of property.
Approval to: Single face Subaru Sign on east wall of
main building.
Approval to: Service & Parts Sign on northwest corner
of main building.
Approval to: Used-Car sign on Route 25 erected between
existing pole sign and main building.
Dear Mrs. Kowalski:
I have spoken to you.
you.
I have gone to see Mr. Wells after
We agreed to the above. Thank
/s/ Lillian Gozelski ....
Is there something that you would like to add Mr. Wells?
HERBERT W. WELLS, JR.: Yeah, the three signs. You haven't
mentioned where they would be. The pole sign with the four-foot
letters'S-U-B-A-R-U. Do you want me to tell you where, you've
got maps.
MR. CHAIRMAN: I've got maps of them, but the application
just stated the three signs. It didn't give the location from
what I've read in there so far.
MR. WELLS: But they're on the map. It doesn't matter where
I put it. Originally, before the letter was signed it was to be
on the east side of the thruway, adjacent to Mrs. Gozelski's
property, i~She objected to that. I couldn't blame her. And
we came up with facing it on the main existing building on the
east side of it; she had no objections to that. The pole sign
would replace one of the pole sig~,the pole with the lights on
it, adjacent to the main building-- the used-car lot sign. The
Southold Town Board of Appeals -6- July 1, 1980
parts and service sign would be hung on the back corner of the
building near the service office, right oPposite the Town bUild-
ing.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Yes, the pictures show those pretty good, Herb.
MR. WELLS: Y~ah, I took photographs of the buildings so
you could see exactly where they were going.
MR. CHAIRMAN: i How long is that wall there where you pro-
pose to put it? I
MR. WELLS: Itl's mentioned there.
MR. CHAIRMAN: It would be--
MR. WELLS: Nelar the back.
MR. CHAIRMAN: I just don't see it. It just gives the size
of the sign 33'1". Maybe in the survey, in this one here, Herb.
MEMBER DOUGLASS: It doesn't tell us the length of that
wall. It says where the sign is going to start, 61' in the front
of the wall going kack to here.
MR. WELLS: Wo.uld it be of help if I come up there, Charlie?
MR. CHAIRMAN: Yes. Maybe you could find it.
MEMBER DOUGLASS: It says 61'
but the building runs back to here.
know, is the footags here.
in the front of the wall,
This is what we need to
MR. WELLS: The brick veneer goes back to here, and we
propose to put the sign in here. And this building is lower
here and higher hera. We'll run it back this way, but the front
part of the sign will be 60 something feet from the building.
You have another 60 feet back here, I'm sure.
MEMBER DOUGLASS: You see, this is what controls the size
of the sign.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Did you have something else to say, Mr. Wells?
MR. WELLS: Well, I feel it's quite important to have the
service sign. And the pole sign. I have a Pontiac-Cadillac
sign at the center of the property, and the Subaru sign on the
pole, I feel that's very important. The other sign is only
going to be seen from one direction. So it would be nice to
have, but I think that's the least important of the three.
I have two gentlemen from Subaru here with me. They are, Subaru
feels that it is very important to have all of these.
Southold Town Board of Appeals -7- July 1, 1980
MR. CHAIRMAN: Does anyone else wish to speak for this?
Anyone wishing to speak against any of this?
MR. HENRY LYTLE: My name is Henry Lytle, speaking in
behalf of the Southold-Peconic Civic Association. I wish
the record to show that we enter our standard objection to
any deviation from the ordinances concerning signs with this
particular piece of property.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Anyone else?
MR. PAUL EISENBERG: My name is Paul Eisenberg and I'm
District Manager of a Subaru Charter in the Long Island-New
York City area. My company, the Subaru Company, feels that
it is ~ery important to Wells Pontiac-Cadillac and Subaru
to have these signs, because as a neighborhood dealer employs
people. He is trying to grow, to employ more people. Without
exposure, he cannot do that.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Thank you. Is there anyone else? Any
questions, Gerry, Bob? Is has been the feeling of this Board
over the years, if it were Herb Wells going across the front
of that thing, we would much rather have it than advertise a
national product or something like that. Ifl.there are no other
questions, I'll offer a resolution to close the hearing and
reserve decision until later on.
On motion by Mr. Grigonis, seconded by Mr. Douglass, it
was
RESOLVED to close the hearing and RESERVE DECISION in Appeal
No. 2709, application of HERBERT W. WELLS, JR.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Grigonis~ Doyen, Doug-
lass and Goehringer. Absent: Messr. Tuthill.
PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal No. 2710. Application of DOLORES
STRONG, Camp Mineota Road, Mattituck, New York (by Richard J.
Cron, Esq.) for a Variance to the Zoning Ordinance, Article
VI, Section 100-63 for permission to display and store openly
boats and marine items outside of enclosed buildings. Location
of property: 11455 Main Road, Mattituck; bounded north by
Mileska, south by Burgon, west by Wickham, east by Main Road;
County Tax Map Item No. 1000-142-02.00-017.00.
The Chairman opened the hearing at 8:16 p.m. by reading
the appeal application, legal notice of hearing and affidavits
attesting to its publication in the local and official newspapers,
Notice of Disapproval from the Building Inspector, and letter
from the Town Clerk that notification to adjoining property owners
~was made; fee paid $15.00.
Southold Town Board of Appeals -8- July 1, 1980
MR. CHAIRMAN: We have a survey and a copy of the County Tax
Map showing the surrounding area. Is there someone here to speak
in favor or add to the application. Is guess that's you, Mr. Cron?
RICHARD J. CRON, ESQ.: I think the Board has already fairly
stated the reasons as they appear in the application. Mr. Strong
has been a long-time resident of this area, and has conducted a
marine type of operation, and a retail type business, similar to
that he is now trying to seek right across the street. He openly
displa~ boats at his present site. The particular site he would
be moving to permits the use of the property for retail sale of
boats and marine items. The only additional use we would like
for the premises is the ability to place boats outside the enclo-
sure, the front portion of the premises together with related
marine items, so that the general public will know the type of
business that's being conducted at that particular site. In
terms of parking, there is going to be well, sufficient parking
in the rear of the building. The area is sufficiently large at
that.
Of course, this is not something that is going to remain
out all night. Business is done for the day. The items would
be removed to an enclosed area.
It's just as important to keep business moving in the
Town of Southold as it is to keep other things going, and this
is already a well established business. The location is only
directly opposite the street from where it now exists, and the
same type of business and the same use is that which we now
request, that which now exists across the street.
I will ask the Board to give favorable consideration to this
application.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Thank you, Mr. Cron. Is there a~yone else
wishing to speak for it? Did you have something you wanted to
add, Mr. Strong?
MR. DAVID STRONG: In a general speaking, ever since I
moved into the Town of Southold, they brought forward this
thing that they want to develop the marine and marine-recrea-
tional use. Ever since we've tried to expand, well we haven't
tried, but we're in the process of doing it, nowhere do I
find any provision for this, as he has pointed out -- only
in C-1 Zoning, which is my understanding it is only up by the
dumps. Now, if you were going to sell boats and motors which
we do, we really by the nature of the beast like a car dealer
has to display some of them on the outside to make it attracted.
That's just what we're asking for, and o~c~ again I would urge
your favorable consideration so that we can do something.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Thank you, Mr. Strong. Is there anyone
else to speak in favor? Anyone to speak against this? (There
was no response.) Gerry? Bob? Do you have any questions?
Southold Town Board of Appeals -9- July 1, 1980
MEMBER DOUGLASS: Yeah, I would like to ask Mr. Strong,
what are you doing, giving up across the street? Are you going
to move everything over to the other side?
MR. STRONG: Yeah, our intent is. Just to move over to
the other side.
MEMBER DOUGLASS: t thought maybe with O'~Day you would
need both. The other thing, in the back there is a small
ran-shackled building there, that at one time was used as
living quarters. What is your intent on that?
MR. STRONG: I've got to be quite frank with you, I really
don't know. Our intent certainly isn't to make it or maintain
it as a living quarters. I really haven't given it much
thought. It doesn't serve any purpose. Our intent of the
buildings were for storage, just like we've got across the
street. So if that would serve as a storage building, that's
probably what it would wind up to be.
MEMBER DOUGLASS: Yeah, that would be a good use for it.
MR. STRONG: Yeah, I mean, nobody is going to live there.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Could you -- I think.~you have 37 feet here
from the sidewalk to the front of the building. We were hoping
you could get one row of cars and you could still park a couple
of good-sized boats or something outside in front of ~hei~building.
MR. STRONG: I really don't know how to do it. I realize
it would be much be~ter if the building were set back another
20 or 30 feet. But that's kind of impossible to jack the thing
back. And, you know, we're not--
MEMBER DOUGLASS: Well, if you hold 25 feet from the side-
walk open, as far as, you could still get boats across the
front.
MR. STRONG: I don't know if you can.
MEMBER DOUGLASS: Broad-side.
MR. STRONG: Maybe that way.
MR. CRON: Wouldn't it be more feasible to park them in
the rear though, out of the way? You don't think so?
MEMBER DOUGLASS: They won't go back there.
MR. STRONG: Well, I thought on that one side, you know,
the guy had a sign before when it used to be a restaurant in
~here, half the people they would go back. I guess it was
a little short turnaround; he made it better. And if you had
Southold Town Board of Appeals -10- July 1, 1980
the parking back there, perhaps they would. It doesn't make
too much, if we put the boats this way or this way, except
maybe you're going to get one boat more. That's probably
what you're talking about. It fluctuates. You're not going
to take one boat and nail it down there, and that's going
to be the one there. It's like, once again, you're got to
move them around a little bit to give them a different display.
MR. CHAIRMAN: You might put them out there and sell them
the same day.
MEMBER DOUGLASS: We're talking about the width of the
building.
MR. STRONG: Oh.
MEMBER DOUGLASS: We're just talking about the width of
the building, so you would be able to come down the east side
with boats. And parallel across the front of the building
and it would allow you about five cars or so in this way from
the sidewalk.
MR. CRON: Do ~I take the Board would prefer to have some
degree of parking in the front?
MR. CHAIRMAN: Well, it might help Mr. Strong because
allot of times people don't find a place to park they just
keep going right on by.
MR. CRON~ That's a good point.
MR. ST~ONG:I think it could probably work out that way
just as it did across the street. We used to have it forward
and we found we had to move them back because it did turn
into kind of a junky-sort of the thing.
MEMBER DOUGLASS: It's in a congested spot.
MR. STRONG: No matter what you do it's a congested spot.
Certainly my intent is not, I do want people to walk in there
and buy something. I don't want to make it hard for them.
If it's necessary, then, yes, to do it that way if it works
out.
MR. CHAIRMAN: If you're looking for street traffic, you
really have it out there.
MR. STRONG: Yeah, we do. That's why we thought that
it would be good if we made a nice parking thing in the back.
MEMBER DOUGLASS: Well, you'll have some back there, no
doubt, for your own help.
Southold Town Board of Appeals -11- July 1, 1980
MR. STRONG: Oh, yeah.
MEMBER DOUGLASS: So you'll have to maintain an opening
to the back there for emergency vehicles, so you'll have some
stuff there, too. But by giving them a place so they can just
come off over the sidewalk and they're there.
MR. STRONG: Well, we had thought to leave the front,
like right in front of the building, something small, but
nothing like a 25-foot boat that's going to block all the
windows and everything. The display in the windows are import-
ant for people to see that also. We would like the little
ones out front.
MEMBER DOUGLASS: Ok. I'll make a motion, if there is
no more to be heard--
MR. CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone else that has anything
they would like to say? (There was no response.)
MEMBER DOUGLASS: That we close the hearing and reserve
decision.
MR. CHAIRMAN: I'll second that. This will have to go to the
Planning Board for the parking stuff a little bit what ever
we act on, they will have to approve. It's required by the
zoning ordinance.
MR. STRONG: We will have to submit something to them
also.
MEMBER DOUGLASS: A parking schedule. Yes.
MR. CHAIRMAN: There is no problem there. Just so you
will be aware of it.
On motion by Mr. Douglass, seconded by Mr. Grigonis, it
was
RESOLVED, to close the hearing and RESERVE DECISION in
Appeal No. 2710, application of DOLORES STRONG.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Grigonls, Doyen,

The Chairman opened the hearing at 8:31 p.m. by reading
the appeal application in full, legal notice of hearing and
a~fidavits attesting to its publication in the local and offi-
cial newspapers, Notice of Disapproval from the Building
Inspector, and letter from the Town Clerk that notification
to adjoining property owners was made; fee paid $15.00.
MR. CHAIRMAN: We have a sketch showing the proposed
location of the sign, and a copy of the County Tax Map.
Is there anyone here wishing to speak on behalf of the ap-
plicant?
MR. JOHN BOPP: John Bopp as Chairman. I would just like
to say that it's a temporary sign to be erected approximately
two weeks to be taken down as soon after the event as possible.
It's for charitable events, and basically that's it.
MR. CHAIRM_A_N: Is this an annual fair, this fair is
going to be?
MR. BOPP: Yes.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Thank you. Is there anyone else here to
speak for it? Is there anyone to speak against it? (There
was no response.) Do you expect to be using this property,
or hope to be using this property, in the future and other
years also?
MR. BOPP: Yes, we do.
MR. CHAIRMAN: If this is granted, this .sign,~ if everything
is all right with Mr. Murphy each year and you don't run into
problems with him, this approval would be good for three years
and then it would have to be reapplied for again just by a
written request prior to the event. Does anyone else have
any questions? (There was no response.) Is there anyway
you can cut two feet off the sign and make it 4' x 6'? It
is the permitted size in this type of situation.
MR. BOPP: I'll have to see what we can do.
MR. CHAIRMAN: If there are no further questions,~
make a motion to close the hearing and reserve decision for
a little later.
On motion by Mr. Grigonis, seconded by Mr. Douglass, it
was

HALLOCK, Wells Road, Peconic, New York for a Variance to the
Zoning Ordinance, Article III, Section 100-31 for approval
of insufficient area of parcel due to proposed change in lot
line. Location of property: South side of Wells Road,
Peconic; bounded north by Wells Road, south by Richmond Creek,

MR. CHAIRMAN: We have two letters in the file concerning
this application:
...Board Of Appeals
Dear Sir:
In regards to application for variance submitted
by Susan Hallock to decrease the size of her lot,
I wish to enter my objection to this.
I believe the reduction to 33,000 square feet
should not be permitted, and that the lot line
should be re-drawn to approach the 40,000 square
feet set forth in the Town Code.
Sincerely,
/s/ Edwin F. Foy ....
Also, letter from the Suffolk County Department of Health
Services, dated June 25, 1980:
...Mr. Charles Grigonis, Jr., Chairman
Southold Town Board of Appeals...
Re: Appeal No. 2713, Susan Hallock...
I am in receipt of your letter dated June 23, 1980
concerning the above referenced project.
Southold Town Board of Appeals -14- July 1, 1980
A sewerage system and water supply for a house on Lots
12.2 and 12.3 were approved by this Department and
constructed. Concerning the proposed parcel, condi-
tions appear suitable for an individual sewerage sys-
tem; however, it should be noted that the water supply
is limited due to salt water intrusion and nitrate
contamination. Special consideration will be given
to this at the time of application to this office.

MR. CHAIRMAN (continued): We have surveys and a copy of the
County Tax Map showing the surrounding properties in the area.
Is there someone here who wishes to speak or add to the appli-
cation?
SUSAN HALLOCK: I'm Susan Hallock, and I wish to reiterate
my situation with the septic system being on the line. I wish
to have a saleable lot there and of course it is a distinct
disadvantage to have the septic systems on the lot. I don't
know of another alternative, and I don't know that it could
be relocated within the area which now exists where the house
is, without intruding past the lines or getting away from the
wetlands. All of this is located in the front of the house
by the road, and we can't relocate in the back. If y0u'll
note the lot that the house is on is practically one-third
wetlands. So the buildable area in which to relocate, I
guess it would be an impossibility. Of course, I can't drink
the water anyway because of temik, but I don't know that I
could relocate Such a system far enough from the well to
comply with the Board of Health, their regulations. And
that also, if the variance is granted, the amount of land
that would be utilized for the building of the new home would
be almost equal to what I would have to my home. In other
words, where I'm taking away from that lot to add to the
house already, has just as much buildable land as what I
would have for the house. Do you see what I'm getting at?
MR. CHAIRMAN: Yes.
MRS. HALLOCK: I really don't see any other feasible way
to contain the septic system as it now is, within the line
of the house that now exists, without providing for it by
taking away from the lot. And I ask an explanation of that
Southold Town Board of Appeals -15- July 1, 1980
last letter that you read from the Board of Health, the part
that applies to the lot?
MR. CHAIRMAN: It is the Department of Health Services.
It says in one of the paragraphs here, "A sewerage system and
water supply for a house on Lots 12.2 and 12.3 were approved
by this Department and constructed. Concerning the proposed
parcel, .conditions appear suitable for an individual water
sewerage system; however, it should be noted that the water
supply is limited due to salt water intrusion and nitrate
contamination .... "
MRS. HALLOCK: In other words, they're saying that if
a house was constructed, if a variance was granted and a
house was constructed there, there would be enough room to
locate the well and the septic system.
MR. CHAIRMAN: It says, "The conditions appear suitable
for a sewerage system; however, it should be noted that the
water supply is limited due to salt water intrusion and
nitrate contamination...." It doesn't say anything about
temik in this one.
MRS. HALLOCK: Whlch~the saying for every other house
along the creek there.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Oh, yeah.
MRS. HALLOCK: Yeah.
MR. CHAIRMAN: "...Special consideration will be given
to this at the time of application to this office .... " So,
it almost makes you feel like they're a little bit concerned
with the salt water and nitrate situation. That "however"
in there is the joker in the clause, I think.
MRS. HALLOCK: Well/does the Board have any other alterna-
tives?
MR. CHAIRMAN: Well, we were trying the idea a little
bit, by looking at the map, by changing the line in a little
different angle and maybe even jogging around your system
and adding a few more hundred square feet for the other lot
if that would work out. We've got one line if you would like
to come.up. We'll show you where we just sketched it in and
would add something like 5,200 square feet. It would make
this one about 38,000, a little better than 38 getting pretty
close to an acre. And it wouldn't actually affect too much
of your land here, because this down here is the stuff "to
boot."
MRS. HALLOCK: Yeah, but look what it is taking away in
here, actual usage. If you realize how close this comes to
Southold Town Board of Appeals -16- July 1, 1980
the house, just as it now with the line as it now, it's right
through on here. And every little bit of land helps here as
you can see is what I'm preserving for pastur-ity.
MEMBER DOUGLASS: Bu%~i% has to come up in area.
Even if you take wh~re your driveway and your septic is here
and came over with it so that you just lose this little spot
in here, so you can get that thing up very Close or to
40,000.
MRS. HALLOCK: How about coming out this way, and you
know, coming across lika this (about 120° angle without
losing much usable land area).
MEMBER DOUGLASS: You see, you've got a bad situation
there, ma'am, right here. The neighbor on the other side
here is sitting on~65,000 square feet.
MRS. HALLOCK: No. That's all wetlands.
MEMBER DOUGLASS: No it isn't.
MRS. HALLOCK: Is this the end?
MEMBER GOEHRINGER: Yes, that's the end.
MRS. HALLOCK: This is the end of the road here. This
is all wetlands, it's 90% wetlands. This lot on the othsr
side of me, right?
MR.. CHAIRMAN: Yes.
MRS. HALLOCK: Yes, this is 90% wetlands.
MEMBER DOUGLASS: There are all woods in here.
MRS. HALLOCK: Very little. It comes right up, the
gully comes right in my house. This is what you see. Very
little woods. Only along the road. That could never. No
way could that every be built on.
MEMBER DOUGLASS: They'll build on it.
~MBER GOEHRINGER: On spiles they'll build on it.
MRS. HALLOCK: Really.
MR. CHAIRMAN: They'll get into the Flood Plain require-
ments.
MRS. HALLOCK: They won't have salt water intrusion in
there?
S6uthold Town Board of Appeals -17- July 1, 1980
MEMBER DOUGLASS: Sure they will. Anybody will on here.
MEMBER DOUGLASS: See if you can cut this thing even like
this, or anything, so that you can get this thing up.
MRS. HALLOCK: I have no objection to giving some in
here (wetlands area). Well this part of it is no~ too bad
(usable land area being taken away). I'm just trying to
visualize this where it sits here.
MEMBER DOUGLASS: When the surveyor drew this up he
should have put the old lot line in.
MRS. HALLOCK: Yeah. And you don't have one with the
old lot lines?
SECRETARY: Yes, it's in the file, here.
MEMBER DOUGLASS: If you bring it over this way here,
you will have a less problem with the Board of Health, too,
on over-saturation.
MRS. HALLOCK: Well, ok. I'll g~ve some thought to that
line there. It's all right now, but I think it could just
maybe be over a little more.
MR. CHAIRMAN: You might come up with a different idea
too when you start. Is there anyone else who wishes to
speak in favor of this? Is there anyone here opposed to
it, besides the written letters? (There was no response.)
MR. CHAIRMAN: ~ I offer a motion we recess this until
the next meeting, and then you'll have time to go back to
Van Tuyl and pick some footage there. The wetlands will
be preserved no matter who has it, but it will add to the
size of the other lot.
MRS. HALLOCK: Right.
MEMBER DOUGLASS: So, we'll recess it.
On motion by Mr. Grigonis, seconded by Mr. Goehringer,
it was
RESOLVED, to recess the matter of SUSAN HALLOCK, Appeal
No. 2713, until the July 24, 1980 meeting of this Board.

RESERVED DECISION: Appeal NO. FL-2. Application
of RICHARD ZEISLER, c/0 Philip J. Ofrias, Jr., Esq., 737
Roanoke Avenue, Riverhead, New York 11901, for a Variance
to the Flood Damage Prevention Law of the Town of Southold,
Section 46-18A, B for permission to construct basement
below the restricted base flood elevation in a special
flood hazard zone. Location of property: Jackson'S Land-
ing, Mattituck; Lot 7 of Map of Jackson's Landing; County
Tax Map Item No. 1000-113-4-9.
Upon investigation and personal inspection of the premises,
the Board finds as follows:
The lot in question has an area of 23,495 square feet.
The plot plan dated April 23, 1980 as amended, submitted to
this Board indicates that the area of the lot where the
dwelling is to be constructed has an elevation of 7½~ at
the lowest point above mean sea level. The Flood Insurance
Rate Map (FIRM) indicates that the property is located in
~ ZoneslA and C~ ~k am±nimum elevation requirement of
tlfeet. Applicant is proposing to construct basement floor
not less than 7½' above mean sea level, and proposes to
use basement only for storage, and does not plan to use same
for electrical pumps, furnaces or other devices. The dwellings
Southold Town Board of Appeals -iD- July 1, 1980
on lots in the neighborhood of the lot in question are on
lots of similar size, and are constructed similar to what
applicant proposes in relation to mean sea level elevation.
The Board also finds that the lot in question meets the
standards set forth in Section 46-16A of the Code since it
contains an area of slightly more than one-half acre and
is contiguous to and surrounded by lots with existing
structures at about the same elevation proposed herein.
In passing upon this application, the Board has con-
sidered all technical evaluations; all relevant factors;
all standards specified in the Code; and all of the appli-
cable factors contained in Section 46-15B, subdivisions (1)
to (11) inclusive of the Code.
The Board further finds and determines that: (1) There
is a good and sufficient cause for the grant of this variance;
(2) A failure to grant the variance would result in excep-
tional hardship to the applicant; (3) The grant of the
variance will not result in increased flood heights or
additional threats to public safety, or extraordinary public
expense, or create nuisances, or cause fraud, or victimize
the public, or conflict with existing local laws or rules
or regulations.
On motion by Mr. Grigonis, seconded by Mr. Goehringer,
IT IS THEREFORE RESOLVED, that RICHARD ZEISLER, the ap-
plicant herein, be and he hereby is GRANTED a variance from
the provisions of the Flood Damage Prevention Law of the
Town of Southold to construct a one-family private dwelling
on premises located on the south side of Jackson's Landing
Road, Mattituck, New York, said premises being designated
on the Suffolk County Tax Map as District 1000, Section!il3,
Block.4, Parcel 9, with the finished basement floor to be
elevated not less than 7½' above mean sea level, SUBJECT
TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS, to wit:
(1) That the basement be flood proofed so that below
the base flood level the structure is watertight with walls
substantially impermeable to the passage of water;
(2) That the floodproofing requirements be certified
by a registered professional engineer or architect as meet-
ing the standards set forth in ~he preceding paragraph hereof;
(3) That such certification be filed with the Building
Inspector of the Town;
(4) That p~ior to the commencement of construction, the
applicant apply for and obtain a Development Permit from the
Southold Town Board of Appeals -20- July 1, 1980
Town Building Inspector, pursuant to the provisions of the
Flood Damage Prevention Law;
AND IT IS FURTHER RESOLVED, that pursuant to the provi-
sions of Section 46-16F of the Code, the applicant is hereby
given notice that the structure for which this variance is
granted will be permitted to be built with the lowest floor
elevation below the basement flood elevation of not less than
7½' as applied for, and that the cost of flood insurance
will be commensurate with the increased risk resulting from
the reduced lowest floor elevation;
AND IT IS FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Secretary to this
Board transmit copies of this determination to the applicant,
the applicant's attorney, and to the Town Building Inspector.

RESERVED DECISION: Appeal No. 2708. Application of
LOUIS and CARMELA RAMUNNI, 691 Walt Whitman Road, Melville,
New York 11746, for a Variance for approval of access, New
York Town Law Section 280A.

southwest by Jennings, northwest by Romeo, Laria, Czelatka,
Corwin, Sepenoski, southeast by Conway. County Tax Map
Item No. 1000-54-7-18.
After investigation and inspection, the Board finds
that applicant is requesting approval of an access road,
which is presently 50-feet in width and appears to be access-
ible for four lots in the "Minor Subdivision of Louis Ramunni"
granted by the Planning Board May 30, 1973. The Board feels
that applicant's request for approval of access is not unreason-
able and certainly agree to the granting thereof.
The Board finds that the circumstances present in this
case are unique, and that strict application of the law
would produce practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship.
The Board believes that the granting of a variance in this
case will not change the character of the neighborhood and
will observe the spirit of the ordinance.
On motion by Mr. Grigonis, seconded by Mr. Douglass, it
was
RESOLVED, that LOUIS and CARMELA RAMUNNI, 691 Walt Whitman
Southold Town Board of Appeals -24- July 1, 1980

S~uthold Town Board of Appeals -27- July 1, 1980
The Board determines that by the granting of such relief:
(a) the Qrderly and reasonable use of adjacent properties or
of adjacent use districts will not be prevented; (b) that
the health, safety, welfare, convenience, comfort and order
of the Town will not be adversely affected; (c) that the
general purposes and intent of the zoning ordinance will be
observed; (d) the plot area is sufficient, appropriate and
adequate for the reasonable use and anticipated operation
thereof as planned herein. The Board agrees with the reason-
ing of the applicant.
