X do hereby petition the Town Board of the Town of Southold to change, modify ond amend the Building Zone Ordinance of the Town of Southold, Suffolk County, New York, including the Building Zone Maps heretofore made a part thereof, as follows: By changing from "A" Residential and Agricultural District to "B" Business District, the property described in paragraph i hereof. 3. Such request is made for the following reasons:- (a) The property which is the subject of this petition, is a portion of a tract of land acquired by petitioners on November 9, 1955 and January 23, 1957. Attached hereto and made a part hereof is a survey map prepared by Otto W. Van Tuyl & Sons, dated May 21, 1957, and re- vised July 6, 1957, which map shows the entire area. As shown by said map, the property is partially within the boundaries of the incorpor- ated Village of Greenport and partially in the Town of Southold. in .red The parcel of land shown on said map/is the premises sought to be rezoned by this application. On November 7, 1957, the Town Board of the Town of Southold re- zoned from "A" Residential and Agricultural District to "B" Business District, the parcel shown on said map in green. On November 18, 1957, the Board of Trustees of the Village of Greenport rezoned from R-1 Residence District to B-1 Business District the premises shown on said map in yellow. Petitioners have constructed a marina on the premises presently zoned for business use. In January, 1957, petitioners commenced ex- tensive dredging and excavating work on that portion of the premises zoned for business, which work is presently continuing. Bulkheads and several docks have been erected and other construct ion and improve- ments are ?ontempla~ed. To date. petitioners have spent and have in- curred obligations in excess of $50,000. Due to the shortage of moor- ing facilities in and about the Town of Southold, petitioners desire to use the property which is the subject of this application to pro- vide additional mooring space and for uses incidental and accessory thereto. Such use will meet the existing demand for protected moor- ing facilities. (b) The property which is the subject of this application is particu- larly well suited for the proposed use. It is bounded on the north and west by Sterling Creek; on the south by other lands of peti- tioners presently being used as a marina and/or boat basin. The lands on the east side of Mauhanset Avenue directly opposite the land of petitioners upon information and belief are proposed to be used by the St. Agnes Church for future cemetery purposes. Prior to the improvement of the property by your petitioners, the area was used as a spoil area for the deposit of mud and sand dredged from Sterling Creek in or about 1938, and consisted of m~d flats subject to constaut flooding. In its then condition, it was unfit for any useful purpose. The use of the property for a marina and related uses and the filling and grading of the entire area will permit said lands to be used for purposes for which they are best suited and will improve the character of the area. At present, there is no such use either permitted or exi?ting as a non-conforming use between Conklin's Point and Orient Point, there being but four parcels of land having a frontage on the waters of the Town of Southold lying between said points, zoned for business, with the exception of the waterfront facilities located wholly within the in?orporated Village of Greenport, and none of these four parcels are sumtably located or capable of being used for the purposes for which your petitioners propose to use the property which is the sub- ject of this application. ~HEREFORE, your petitioners respectfully request that the Town Board of the Town of Southold grant your petitioners, request by changing from "A" Residential and Agricultural District to "B" Business District the property described in Paragraph 1 of this peri- tio~.
