This is a request for a Variance under Sections 100-242A and 100-244, based on the Building Department's July 24. 2002 Notice of Disapproval, for permission to consu'uct additions and alterations to an existing dwelling in a nonconforming setback location, and less than 35' fi:om the front lot 1/ne, less than 10' on a single side, and less than 25' for both side yards. Location of Propers: 420 Sterling Place. Greenporr; Parcel 34-3-17. (Carryover fi:om 11-14-02). New Maps submitted 11-19- 02. PATRICIA MOORE, ESQ: Good everdng. I'm representing Rory and Carol. I've known them many years. BOARD SECRETARY KOWALSKI: Can you please state your name for the record? MRS. MOORE: My name is Patricia Moore 51020 Main Road, Southold. CH~: You look very familiar. MRS. MOORE: I look familiar, don't I? I know they were here before with one particular design that the board considered, and I believe that the issue was that there is - and I have a photograph here that will heip- just a reminder. You have so many applications, I thought it might be helpful to have a picture. This is the back ofthe house which is where the addition is proposed. You can see that the original application was to build right over the top of the existing structure, but there is a pop out, an old existing pop out dining room area. I know that was problem to this board so Me~ryl took another look at this project with Rory and his wife. I know they sero you a drawin~ which shows the addition going behind the - if you see the one story level - there is a two story in the front - the box of the one story, then behind that is a lower pitched roof. and the addition is over the top of that and then expands towm:d the more conforming side. This is going to cost them more money, obviously, anytime you build with a new foundation, with an expansion of a new foundation, it costs more, but in order to meet the boards concarns, they are willing to spend more money. The concern they have is that, this is a second marriage, and Mrs. Rand is 8 months pregnant with a fourth child for Rory. They have to have room for the whole family. They can*t fitinto theexistinghouseifyoucanseefi:omthephotographstheexistinghouseislate 1800's early 1900's. the character of the neighborhood is equally very tiny lots and the original early development of Greanport and this really is the only realistic and practical place to expand is towards the back. I also show you in the photograph that there is a bluestone patio area which is going to be the screaned in porch, and it's being built in the same position as the screened in porch, excuse me, as the bluestone patio. Given the re-design and the difficulty of this proper~y - it's a very narrow property - and the character of the area which is similarly constrained, we hope you'll consider this apphcation more favorably. ...... CHAIRMAN: I jusr want m say for the record that I don't have any objections to this change. Go ahead Lydia.

That was removed and also that little one-story addition that was like- MEMBER ORLANDO: The nursery. MRS. MOORE: Yes, the nursery, which is on the westerly side of the property. MEMBER TORTORA: [ think- ifs what the board was asking for. I love the fact that we can just go home and do it on our compmer. MRS. MOORE: q[lxe computer's not the probleng it's the cost afterwards that's the problerm Rory is going to have rc save a little extra money, but we understand the concerns. CHAIRM~aN: We kind of stretched Meryl's request and sa/d, could you kindly get it in by Wednesday. Fortunately we had this meeting scheduled. MRS.

This is a request for a Variance under Section 100- 30A.4. based on the Build/rig Department's July 23. 2002 Notice of Disapproval, for permission to construct an accessory garage in an area other than the required rear yard. Location of Proper;3c. 350 Three Waters Lane, Orient; Parcel 15-6-24. CHAIKMAN: What have you decided to do? GARY CAMPO: My name is Gary Campo, my wife is Joanna Campo. I have a question. How close can an accessory building be to a neighbor's propm'ty? MEMBER TORTOP,2k: 3', but if we're giving you a variance for location, if we're g~ving you a variance to locate it in a side yard. we're not going to want it 3' fi.om the property line. MR. CAMPO: Okay. MEMBER OLIVIA: We had suggested moving it closer to the house. MK. CAMPO: We've decided to forgo making an aparunenr upsta/rs because we looked at it, as you get closer te the house, it looks tc~:rible. We just won't do that, that's all. CHAIRMAN: You're just going to leave is where it is. MEM]BER TORTOKA: So instead of 52', you're talking, you're going to move it back 60', correct? MR. CAMPO: 63' I think, CHAIRMAN: 62.5'. Page 3 - Public Hearings November 21. 2002 - Special Meeting Southold Town Board of Appeals MEMBER ORLANDO: It almost makes it - if I'm guessing - the same distance from the hack of the house to the garage Will a/most be the same. The back of the garage and the back of the house will be just about the same. CHAIRMAN: Be in hne. MR. CAMPO: It linesup the same. MEMBER TORTORA: So, what will the distance be? MR. CAM]PO: 63' even.
