Mr. McH~gh also uses it. THE CHAIRMAN: How long ago did you buy this property? MR. BESCH: Two years ago. I planned to put a house on there when I had the means to do so. The building is presently a three car agarage with a shop on the end. It was moved from my brothe~s place. I plan on renting it and possibly selling it. · HE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone else present who wishes to speak in favor of this application? (There was no response.) TPIE CHAIRMAN: ts there anyone present who wishes to speak against this application? MR. PAUL MICHALECKO: I understood the 18 ft. right-of-way belonged to Mr. Besch which gives him another 18 ft. MR. BESCH: I just said I own half of it. It is not included in the area of my lot. ~R. MICHALECKO: I can't see something going right along side of me and ruin the value of my property. I don't want to degrade it. MR. BERGEN: How do you get the opinion a house being built right along side of you will degrade your property2 Southold Town Board of Appeals -3- April !1, 1963 MR. MIC~LECKO: Because it will probably take years to finish it. Did you take a look at the building? Would you want it next to you? T~E CHAIRMAN: The present zoning ordinance does not have a minimum standard as to the appearance or type of building erected in the Town. Your objection as to appearance we have no control over. MR. McHUGH: I own property adjoining to Mr. Besch. I have a stipulation agreement from Mrs. Young which states that any house on my premises may not cost less than $7,000 unless it is a garage and there may be not more than one house on the lot. Mr. Besch also bought from Mrs. Young and must have the same stipulation. I wanted to build a garage first on my lot but they would not let me as the house had to be built first. THE CHAIRMAN: Mr. Besch intends to convert this garage into a house. It will not be used as a garage. THE C~tAIRMAN: Do you know who own~ the right-of-way~ MR. WILLIAM WICKHA~: Mrs. Young° She gave right-of-way, but she retained title to it. THE CHAIRgL%~: Is there anyone else present who wishes to speak either for or against? (There was no response.) After investigation and inspection the Board finds that the applicant has a lot approximately 71 ft. by approximately 220 ft. on Sound Avenue and contains over 15,000 sq. ft. of area. He proposes to convert a 30 ft. by 22 ft. garage into a one family dwellinq on this lot. The applicant owns the property to the east an~ was bought at a different time than the lot in question and is approximately-182 ft. frontage by approxin~tely 403 ft. in depth. There is a one family dwelling located on this lot on Sound Avenue and a one family dwelling located on this lot on Middle Road. To the west of the applicant's property is a 20 fro right-of-way.which the applicant has access to. The proposed setback on this garage to be converted into a dwelling is 50 ft. and is greater than the existing dwelling on the applicant's property to the east. Southold Town Board of Appeals -4- April 11, 1963 The Board finds that strict application of the Ordinance will produce practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship; the hardship created is unique and would not be shared by all properties alike in the immediate vicinity of this property and in the same use district;~ and the variance does observe the spirit of the ordinance and will not change the character of the district. On motion of Mr. Gillispie, seconded by Mr. Bergen, it was RESOLVED that Allen Besch be granted permission to divide property using a lot with reduced frontage. Location of property: north side Sound Avenue, Mattituck, New York. The size of the 10t is to be 71.50 ft. on Sound Avenue, 213.54 ft. on the easterly side, 229.70 ft. on the westerly side and 74.43 ft. on the rear. The proposed dwelling is to be located approximately 20 ft. from the easterly side line, approximately 30 ft. from the westerly side line and 50 ft. front yard setback from Sound Avenue. Vote of the Board: Ayes:- Mr. Gillispie, Mr. Bergen, and Mr. Hulse. PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal No. 555.- 7:45 P.M. (E.S.T.)~ upon application of Frank S. Zaleski, Deep Hole Drive, Mattituck~ New York, for a variance in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance, Article III~ Section 307, ~nd Article X, Section 1000A, for permission to divide property into a lot with an existing dwelling with insufficient side yard. Location of property: east side Deep Hole Drive, Mattituck, New York, bounded north by other land of F. Zaleski, east by M. Suter, south by o~ther land of F. Zaleski, and west by Deep Hole Drive. Fee paid $5.00. The Chairman opened the hearing by reading application for a variance, legal notice of hearing, affidavit attesting to its publication in the official newspaper and notice to the applicant. THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak for tt~ application? Southold Town Board of Appeals -5- April 11, 1963 WILLIAM WICKHAM, ESQ.: This survey does not reflect a house which is on the lot to the south of this. It has recently been moved on there and I believe Mr~Terry issued a permit for same and it is on the right location. As for the house in question, only the southwest corner of the house is in violation of the restrictions. They did have an alternative of changing the south line to get the 10 ft. but it would leave an inregular line but we thought we would prefer asking you people for a variance and there would be a straight line. Probably this year there will be a little more property because Mr. Zaleski owns Deep Hole Drive (East Branch) and plans to move it a little to the west to give more depth to some of the lotso Eventually he will file a map for the farm. THE CHAIRM3~N: When was the house built? MR.~KCEHAM: It predates the zoning ordinance by many years. THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak against this application? (There was no response.) After investigation and inspection the Board finds that the applicant has a lot 100 ft. in frontage by 130 ft. in depth and containing over 13,000sq. ft. of area. He wishes to sell this lot with a one family dwelling thereon but the side yard setback for this dwelling would be only 8 ft. on the south- westerly corner. The setback is 17.8 ft. from deep Hole Drive but it is better than the average for that section of the street. To divide this property to permit a 10 ft. side yard at this corner of the e~isting house would create an irregular line and be impractical. The Board feels this is the best solution to the problem. The Board finds that strict application of the Ordinance will produce practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship; the hardship created is unique and would not be shared by all properties alike in the immediate vicinity of this property and in the same use district; and the variance does observe the spirit of the Ordinance and will not change the character of the district. Southold Town Board of Appeals -6- April 11, 1963 On motion of Mr. Gitlispie, seconded by Mr. Hulse, it was RESOLVED that Mr. Frank'S. Zaleski be granted permission to divide property into a lot with~an existing dwelling located 8 ft. from the southwesterly side line. The lot is of sufficient area and has 100 ft. frontage. Location of the property: east side Deep Hole Drive, Mattituck, New York.
