PUBLIC HEAR/NG: Appeal No. 419 - 8:00 P.M. (E.S.T.), upon application of Maurice and Marion C. O~Connor, 26 Furwood Drive, East Northport, New York~ for recognition of access in accordance Southold Town Board of'Appeals -3- November 16, 1961 New York State Town Lawz Section 280A. Location of property: north side Major's Path, east side Horton~s Lane, Southold~ New York~ bounded north by Shepard~ east by O. M. Overton~ south by private road known as Major~s Path~ and west by O. M. Overton. Fee paid - none - access. The Chairman opened the hearing by reading application for recognition of access~ legal notice of hearing and affidavit attesting to its publication in the official newspaper. T~E CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak for this application? RENSSELAER G. TERRY, JR., ESQ.' Southold~ New York: I appear in behalf of Mr. and Mrs. O~Connor. I do not know whether a map has been filed with you but I have a copy of the map that was furnished to the title company. This lot is a distance of 146 feet from Horton Lane. Originally Mr. Overton opened that road and intended to dedicate it to the Town of Southold and it was widened to 50 feet. There had been some problem with the owner- ship of the property, but that is cleared up now. I believe that the road will be offered to the Town for a public highway in the future. Mrs. Overton has reserved the right if the Town will take it. THE CHAIRMAN: How is the condition of Major's Path? MR. ROSENBERG: I have been up there. I was there yesterday. This originally was laid f out for 50 feet but at the present time it is not an acceptable road and is only 9 feet. of passable area. It is nothing but a path. I should think that~what they would secure would be temporary access during the course of construction and that by the time a certificate of occupancy is applied for the road would be at least 15 feet. THE CHAIRMAN: Is this the first sale in this proposed development ? MR. TERRY: Yes. THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone else present who wishes to speak for this application? (There was no response.) Southold Town Board of Appeals -4- November 16~ 1961 THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak against this application? (There was no response° ) After investigation and inspection the Board of Appeals finds that strict application of the Ordinance would produce undue hard- ship and practical difficulties because this is to be the first dwelling on this private road which the owner intends to offer for dedication to the Town in the future. A building permit cannot be secured without recognition of access. 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 because this is to be the first dwelling in this proposed develop- ment and the intended width of this road will someday be 50 feet. The variance would observe the spirit of the Ordinance and would not change the character of the district because this area will eventually be a subdivision and the proposed dwelling will be in keeping with the character of the area. On motion of Mr. Rosenberg, seconded by Mr. Grigonis, it was RESOLVED that Maurlce and Marion Co O~Connor be granted recognition of temporary access until Major~s Path can be made 15 ft. in width. The lot is located 146 ft. north of Horton Lane on the northwest side of Major:s Path, Sou thold. Vote of the Board: Ayes:- Mr. Gillispie, Mr. Bergen, Mr. Rosenberg, Mr. Grigonis, and Mr. Doyen. PUBLIC ~ARING: Appeal No. 420 - 8:15 P.M. (E.S.T.)~ upon application of Theodore Diachun, Peconic Bay Boulevard, Laure~ New York~ for a variance in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance, Article III, Section 307~ for permission to reduce side yard setback on lot located on the north side Peconic Bay Boulevard~' Laurel, New York~ bounded north by land of George and Theodore Diachun~ east by Beatrice M. Wesson, south by Peconic Bay Boulevard, and west by A. Oakes. Fee paid $15.00. The Chairman opened the hearing by reading application for a variance, legal notice of hearing and affidavit attesting to its publication in the official newspaper. Southold Town Board of Appeals -5- November 16~ 1961 T~E C~AIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak for this application? MR. THEODORE DIACHUN: I do. Mrs. Oakes stated she does not disapprove of this. She would be here tonight but she just arrived back from New York and is tired. (The purpose of this application was to provide 28 ft. of side yard on the easterly side simply for the convenience of parking cars. Finally when it was explained to the applicant that if he placed ~is residence on this lot h~ would be-denying all access to the 21 acres which he hopes to develop. In consequence Mr. Diachun asked to withdraw his application and he will place his house elsewhere on his property.~ On motion of Mr. Gillispie, seconded by Mr. Bergen, it was RESOLVED that Theodore Diachun be granted permission to withdraw his application for a variance. Vote of the Board: Ayes:- Mr. Gillispie, Mr. Bergen, Mr. Rosenberg~ Mr. Grigonis, and Mr. Doyen. PUBLIC HEAR~IG: Appeal No. 421 - 8:30 P.M. (E.S.T.)~ upon application of Marycleo Meyer, West Creek-Avenue, Cutchogue, New York, for a variance in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance, Article III, Section 303 and Article X, Section 1000A~ for permission to divide and use as single lots premises located in Orient~ New York, bounded north by Orchard Street~ east by Navy Street, south by land now or formerly of Timothy Burke; and west by Fanny Rackett and Orient Fire House. Fee paid $15.00. The Chairman opened the hearing by reading application for a variance, legal no~ice of hearing and affidavit attesting to its publication in the official newspaper. THE C~IAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak for this appli cation? Marycleo Meyer and Edna A. Brown spoke in favor of this application. Southold Town Board of Appeals -6- November 16, 1961 THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak against this application? (There was no response.) After investigation and inspection the Board of Appeals finds that strict application of the Ordinance would produce undue hard- ship and practical difficulties because the size of this entire parcel is too great for the one residence which is located on the northerly portion of the loto The hardship created is unique and wQuld not be shared by at~Lproperties alike in the immediate vicinity of this property and in the same use district becaus~ this is the largest corner lot in th'e area and is located next to the fire district property and therefore cannot be enlarged in any ~ way. The variance would observe the spirit of the Ordinance and would not change the character of the district because the parcel will be divided into two lots which will conform with the lot sizes in the area and will be used for residential purposes. On motion of Mr. Grignis~ seconded by Mr. Doyen~ it was RESOLVED that Marycleo Meyer be granted permission to divide property and use as single lots premises located in ~rient, New Yor~, and described as follows: North Parcel:- Beginning at the intersection of the westerly line of ~rient Street with the southerly line of ~rchard Street and running along said westerly line of Orient Street S.07°33'30'~E. 105.0 feet;thence along other land of Meyer two courses, as follows: (1) N.83°30'50'~o 127.9 feet; thence (2) N.22o07'30'~E. 15.40feet to land of the Orient Fire District; thence along said. land of the Orient Fire District two courses, as follows: (1) S.76°57'30~E. 6.0 feet; thence (2) N.22°07'30':E. 94.0 feet to said southerly line of Orchard Street; thence along ~aid southerly line of Orchard Street two courses, as follows: (1) S.76°75'30~E. 8.05feet; thence (2) S.8t°41'30'~E. 59.1 feet to the point of beginning.
