THE CHAIRMAN~ What the Townsend Manor Inn is requesting is a directional and advertising sign and that is not pezmitted. The sign would have to be limited to Townsend Manor Inn, Hotel and Restaurant, and whatever directions are necessary. MR. FRANCISCO GONZ~?~Z, Townsend Manor Inn, Greenport, New York: I appear on behalf of the application. I do notwant anything on the sign except my facilities. The swimming pool and marina are the facilities we have to offer and I have to emphasize the fact. THE CHAIRMAN: We have never permitted anything except the name of the establishment and directional information. MR. GONF~?.~.M: Could I paint the sign I have now and move it to the new location? THE CHAIRMAN: Yes, you may repaint the sign, but you may not add anything to it, unless it is directional, such as "turn left" or~traight ahead." You may not have credit organizations. We have denied that to everyone else. MR. GON~m?.RZ: Then that is what I will do. I will repaint the sign as it presently is and move it to the Nassau Brick property. THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to s peak against this application? (There was no response.) The Board finds that the public convenience and welfare and justice will be served and the legally established or permitted use of neighborhood property and adjacent use districts will not be pexa~nently or substantially injured and the spirit of the Ordinance will be observed. The Board further finds that the Townsend Manor Inn lost the usefulness of this sign due to the relocation of Route 25 west of Greenport.

Southold Town Board of Appeals -4- May 4, 1961 THE CHAIRMAN= Is there anyone present who wishes to speak for this application? (There was no response.) THE CHAIRMAN, Is there anyone present who wishes to speak against this application? (There was no response.) (The Board discussed the proposed extension, examining the sketches in the file and all other information available.) The Board of Appeals finds that this applicant has maintained this studio for about 12 years. The Board is well acquainted with this converted barn where the applicant has exhibited his own work and that of other artists. Most of the canvasses have been offered for sale on the premises. A group of residents wish to maintain an exhibition during the smmaer season of their own work and non-resident artists. In order that they may have regular hours for exhibition the artist owner is willing to add a small structure to the present building. He will use the small room for his own studio, a room where he may maintain privacy and properly protect his finished and unfinished canvasses and materials customarily employed in his craft. The Board finds that this is a customary and expected addition and does not materially change the use or prolong the life of the non-conforming use or structure, nor will there be an extension of an existing non-conforming use and the indefinite prolongation of the life of a non-conforming building. The consent of all adjoining property owners has been obtained. The Board further finds that the public convenience and wel- fare and justice will be served and the legally established or permitted use of neighborhood property and adjoining use districts will not be permanently or substantially injured and the spirit of the Ordinance will be observed. On motion of Mr. Gillispie and seconded by Mr. Rosenberg it was RESOLVED that the Board grant Fishers Island Farms, Inc., a/c Charles B. Ferguson permission to enlarge non-conforming building with the following conditions: Southold Town Board of Appeals -5- May 4, 1961 No extension of present use of building which is a studio where the artist works and exhibits and sells his own products and the art works of others.
