FINDINGS, DELIBERATIONS AND DETERMINATIObVOU oWn Cler
MEETING OF DECEMBER 21,2023
ZBA FILE: #7857
NAME OF APPLICANT: Fishers Island Union Chapel
PROPERTY LOCATION: Crescent Avenue, Fishers Island,NY SCTM: 1000-9-2-12.1
SE RA 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 COI1N"I' 'ADM"INISTIATIVE CODE: This application was not required to be referred to the Suffolk
County Department of Planning under the Suffolk County Administrative Code Sections A 14-14 to 23.
L\VR.P_fiI�ETE INATION: The relief, permit, or interpretation requested in this application is listed under the
Minor Actions exempt list and is not subject to review under Chapter 268.
PROPEL."I., FACTS/DESCRIPTION: The subject,pentagram-shaped, 146,657 square feet,3.37-acre parcel located
in the R80 Zoning District measures 200 feet along Athol Crescent,then continues south 293.69 feet along Crescent
Avenue,then runs east 278.27 feet along Montauk Avenue,then runs north 356.25 feet along a residential property
to the east, and returns 370.54 feet along St.John's Episcopal Church Cemetery back to the roadway. The property
is developed with a church accessed by a stone walk,a parking area,a thrift shop building with road front signage,a
storage container, and a single-family residence (the parsonage, subject of this application) with stone walk and
parking area as shown on the survey prepared by Craig P. Bigger,Licensed Land Surveyor,and dated September 12,
2023.
BASIS OF APPLICATION: Request for a Variance from Article-III, Section 280-14 and the Building Inspector's
August 25,2023,Notice of Disapproval based on an application for a permit to construct additions and alterations to
an existing single-family dwelling(parsonage); at; 1) less than the code required minimum front yard setback of 60
feet; located at Crescent Avenue, Fishers Island,NY. SCTM#1000-9-2-12.1.
RELIEF R- E_ The applicant requests a variance for a reduced front yard setback of 46 feet, in order to
build a one-story entry hall measuring 7 feet by 1 I feet (77 square feet of conditioned and habitable space) on the-
parsonage house of the Union Chapel, where the code requires a minimum front yard setback of 60 feet.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. Improvements on the subject parcel are covered by the following Certificate of
Occupancy:
#Z-2289 dated January 31, 1964 covering an addition on the minister's residence.
#Z-1934 dated September 22, 1964 covering a single-family residence(parsonage).

SCTM No. 1000-9-2-12.1
The subject parcel is the beneficiary of prior Board relief under file#1014 dated December 5, 1966 granting relief
for the construction of a church with excessive height and insufficient setbacks. No Certificate of Occupancy was
provided for the construction of the church (and thrift shop building); the church, thrift shop and parsonage
(minister's residence)sit on opposite ends of the same parcel.
The applicant provided architectural drawings,including existing and proposed renderings,a site plan and photo key,
existing and proposed floor plans, existing and proposed elevations labeled 1-11, prepared by Sam Fitzgerald
Architect, PC, and dated June 21, 2023, signed October 3,2023.
No member of the public or an immediate neighbor spoke in favor of or against this application.
FINDINGS OF FACT/REASONS F )R BOARD ACTION:
The Zoning board of Appeals held a public hearing on this application on December 7,2023 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 or a detriment to nearby properties. The west end of"the Fishers ,Island community is predominately
residential in nature,having been established in the 1861 century as Fort Terry and continued into the mid-201h century
as a United States military base. The commercial and retail center of the island is located along the intersection of
Crescent,Montauk,Oriental and Equestrian Avenues. 1►r'lany Gilder homes exist,built long before zoning as Officer's
residences and service homes for the military operation. Today,most of these structures are private residences with
non-conforming setbacks or other unique features. As a result of wetlands on the subject property, when developed
as a church in the 1960's variance relief by a prior Board was granted to allow the church structure to be constructed
with non-conforming setbacks,in addition to height(allowing,for a steeple). "While separate buildings,both the thrift
shop and the parsonage buildings are sited with less than, current, code conforming front yard setbacks all on the
same parcel of land. Prior to the proposed reduced front yard setback, the residence is located 54 feet from the
roadway. A reduction of feet frown the existing setback will be virtually indistinguishable for passersby and those
using the public roadways.
2. Town Law `267-b 3 b 2 , The benefit sought by the applihant cannot be achieved by some method, feasible
for the applicant to pursue,other than an area variance. In order to construct an entry hall/mud room at the parsonage
of the Union Chapel, variance relief is required; there is no possible way to expand the front entry of the building
without encroaching upon the 60 feet front yard setback as required by the code since the existing structure is built
at 54 feet from the roadway.
3. Town Law§267-b 3 b . The variance granted herein is mathematically substantial,representing 23.3% relief
from the code. However, the residential structure exists and is covered by a valid Certificate of Occupancy with a
front yard setback of 54 feet. There is no feasible alternative for the modest expansion of the parsonage, the Union
Chapel minister's residence.
4. Town Law 267'-b 3 Ir 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 Lawvv 267-b 3 a . 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(as evidenced
by the prior Board relief granted in file#1.014 allowing the construction of the church) of the limitations on the use
of the parcel under the Zoning,Code in effect prior to or at the time of purchase.

SCTM No. 1000-9-2-12.1
6.Town .Law 267-b. Grant of the requested relief is the minimum action necessary and to enable the applicant to
enjoy the benefit of the addition of an entry hall/mud room measuring 7 feet by 11 feet;with a front yard setback of
46 feet 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 Planamento,seconded by Member Lehnert,and duly carried,
to
GRANT the variance as applied for, and shown on the architectural drawings, including existing and proposed
renderings, a site plan and photo key, existing and proposed floor plans, existing and proposed elevations labeled
Sheet Nos. 1 thru-11,prepared by Sam Fitzgerald,Architect,PC and dated.June 21,2023,signed by October 3,2023.
This approval shall not be deemed effective until the required conditions have been met.At the discretion of the
Board of Appeals,failure to comply with the above conditions may render this decision null and void
That the above conditions be written into the Building Inspector's Certificate of Occupancy, when issued
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.
