amend the Building Zoue Ordinance ~,f the Town of Sonthokl. Suffolk County, New York,
including the Buildlug Zone Maps heretofore made a part thereof, as follows:
To change the zoning classification of the above premises
from "A" Residential and Agricultmeal District to "B-2"

Such request is made for the ~llowing reasons:
A real estate office is presently operated on Lot No.

granted May Eg, 1981 which granted permission to change the
non-conforming use to a different non-conforming use of a higher
classification. Recently your petitioner purchased Lot No. 1
and proposes to use same in cormection with his real estate
business. The premises are located on the outskirts of Mattituck
and in close proxi~mity to business areas. The property opposite
is zoned "B" Business and is devoted to a public garage, proposed
candy factory, a brick yard and masonery material supply house,
vegetable and lawn ornament store and a livery stable. Said
property was originally ~n the ,~,t zone and was c~mnged to
Other property to the east is in the "B" zone and devoted to
a gas station and recently premises adjoining the gas station

Present:
SUPERVISOR LESTER M. ALBERTSON
at 2:00 P.M.,
A. John Gada
on Montauk Avenue, Fishers
A public hearing was held at the Fishers Island Fire House
Friday, September 17, 1965, on application of
for a change of zone from "A" to "M-l" on property
Island, New York.
SUPERVISOR ALBERTSON opened the meeting by reading the
recommendation of the Southold Town Planning Board to change
the area to an "~-1" zone. Mr.
of what is covered by an "M-l"
MR. ALBERTSON: Is there
of this application?
as
Albertson also read the definition
zone.
anyone who wishes to speak in favor
MR. A. JOHN GADA: I have applied for this change in zoning
said on two other occasions. That is, the dwelling in question
doesn't lend itself to anything but what I intend to use it for -
primarily a boarding house to house some men, some employees
that are sorely needed on the Island. Last winter there was a
great need for a place where a fellow could get even a cup of
coffee. I had occasions where I had men come in here from New
York to do special business that had to be put up at the Parker
House in New London at a great expense, and brought over here
in the morning and back again at night at a great expense and a
great loss of time and this is my reason for asking for the
change in zone.
MR. ALBERTSON: Thank you, Mr. Gada. Anyone who wishes to
be heard in favor of it? Anyone in opposition to this change?
A. John Gada, Change of Zone -2- September 17, 1965
MR. WILLI-AM EWING: Mr. Albertson, I am speaking in behalf of
my cousin, Anna Edwards, who owns the property on the east side
of Hedge Street, and my cousin, Mr. John Schram, who owns the
property on the west side of Hedge Street adjoining Mr. Gada's
property. I am not at the moment voicing any objection to this.
I would like to ask some questions, if I may. I would like to
know just where this property, where the zone change is in rela-
tion to Mr. Schram's property? In other words, are these the
existing houses now on the west side of the private lane?
MR. ALBERTSON: I think the best way I can answer your
question is to have you come forward and look at the map which
accompanies the application.
(Mr. Ewing looked at the map and Mr. Albertson pointed out
lots C, D, E, and F, explaining that it was the area which is
at the west of the right-of-way.)
MR. ALBERTSON: Anything further, Sir?
MR. EWING: Yes, Mr. Albertson - you have an ordinance defin-
ing the term "boarding house" or "tourist home"?
(Mr. Albertson read the ordinance definition again.)
MR. EWING: Thank you.
my cousins are concerned.
do appreciate Mr. Gada's
January at the last meeting and if this occurs,
I would like to speak now so far as
This is of no benefit to them. They
problem as he expressed it back in
they have no
A. John Gada, Change of Zone -3- September 17, 1965
objection. It's a gratuity on the part of the neighbors not to
object because they derive no benefit from it whatsoever. The
thing that they were opposed to is the potentiality of the build-
ings becoming or being used for public restaurant and bar accom-
modations. So long as it is confined to this definition under
the ordinance, they have no objection.
MR. ALBERTSON: Thank you, Sir. Anyone else wish to be heard
in opposition to?
MR. STANLEY RYBITSKY; I am a neighbor across from Mr. Gada's
property where I have heard just now Mr. Gada said, "Change the
zone." Whatever he wants to build - that's all right, but the
change of zon!a~,~that would be the same arrangement as it was
last time, so I, for one, feel - do not change the zone.
MR. ALBERTSON: Thank you, Sir. Apparently there is a little
misunderstanding as
to what an M-1 dwelling is and maybe I should
read that at this time so there won't be any misunderstanding.
(Mr. Albertson read from the ordinance and explained the
provisions of the ordinance related to the different categories.)
MR. ALBERTSON: Anyone else wish to be heard?
MRS. A. G. PENDLETON: I can't see that it's going to do any
of those people down there any good. I don't object to having
families live there, but not having a boarding house. That right
away spoils - it cheapens that neighborhood and we don't want a
tourist place there. Certainly not.
A. John Gada, Change of Zone -4- September 17, 1965
MR. ALBERTSON:
finished,
MRS.
Anyone else who wishes .... excuse me, were you
Mrs. Pendleton?
PENDLETON: I think that covers everything. I have no
objection. Mr. Gada has another building that has three families
or four families in it that live on different floors. Now, that's
all right, but the minute that you have a thing that could be a
summer boarding house - no - and who knows that there will be a
lot of building that he will need a lot of people staying around
here.
MR. ALBERTSON: Thank you, Mrs.
wishes to be heard one way or the
MR. LEWIS LAMB: I think Mrs.
Pendleton. Anyone else who
other?
Pendleton isn't quite clear as
to the fact that this

zoning that is being requested is not for
or any such nature. It is intended
you read it.
MR. LAMB:
PENDLETON: That isn't the way it read the first time
Sounds like you'd be all mixed up together.
The way I interpret it, unless I am wrong .....
(Mrs. Pendleton asked to have the application read again.
Mr. Albertson complied.)
MRS. PENDLETON: Then you say right there that's tourists...
that isn't what you want in that district. You want - as it is now,
it's a year-round place.
A. John Gada, Change of Zone -5- September 17, 1965
MR. GADA: Mr. Albertson, this building Mrs.
talking about was originally a boarding house
a boarding house a great number of years before
Pendleton is
it was used for
purchased it
and I don't think that the fact that it was a boarding house
injured anyone in the surrounding area at the time it was a
boarding house.
MRS. PENDLETON: When was that?
MR. GADA: Mrs. Hoffort ran it as a boarding house - Herbie
Flynn ran it as a boarding house.
MRS. PENDLETON: Oh, yeah, about 20 years ago.
I
MR. GADA: I don't~want to try to put forth the idea that I
am not going to do anything to this to injure my own property
which is the major part of the property in that area. I own~ two,
three, four houses and 4½ acres of land with waterfront and I'm
certainly not going to do anything there that will injure my own
property. That is the best way I can explain it.
MRS. PENDLETON: When Mrs. Hoffort had that was back in the
1880's and my cousin lived over there in 1886 and so that's when
Mrs. Hoffort had it. So, there would have been a lot of changes
since then. Think of the Island then - there was no roads, not
a thing. No post office, no nothing. So, I can't see
workmen that want to come over here and stay - how can
if you don't have a boarding house for them to live in? How can
you have them there if it isn't going to be a boarding house?
if you have
they stay
A. John Gada, Change of Zone -6- September 17, 1965
~%at's what I can't understand. You can't possibly have strange
people coming over here and staying there without someone to look
after them. That's all I want to say.
MR. ALBERTSON: Thank you, Mrs. Pendleton. Anyone else who
wishes to be heard one way or the other?
MR. RYBITSK¥: This morning Mr. Gada said he wants to have a
change of zone - but what that means? That means he wants a change,
that everything goes - what he wants to do,
do he can do it?
MR. ALBERTSON: I read you the limitations.
anything he wants to
He cannot do
anything that is not provided in this particular zone. Anyone
else wish to be heard? If not, we'll close the hearing at this
time.
(Mrs. Pendleton and Mr. Gada discussed the fact that the
property had been through several ownerships and had been operated
as a boarding house by several former owners.)
MR. ALBERTSON: Anyone else wishes to be heard?
MRS. KATHLEEN PARQUET: I live opposite this property.
hope that if this place is turned into a boarding house or a
tourist place, I hope it's run decent.
MR. ALBERTSON: Thank you, Mrs. Parquet. I'm sure we all do.
Anyone else who wishes to be heard one way or the other?
A. John Gada, Change of Zone -7- September 17, 1965
MRS. LEONARD MIDDLETON: My husband and I own property
adjoining this property and I want to stress what we said in the
past. We strictly oppose any change which will interfere in any
way with our legal right to the undisturbed use of our property.
Since we are nextdoor, we would bear the brunt of any unfavorable
situation which might result from this change and I real~ don't
see why it's necessary to have a rezoning if apartments can be
used in his house which is adjoining to this house. Why couldn't
this same setup be used under the present setup.
MR. ALBERTSON: It is presently zoned as residence property
and you can only have one family to a house. This is basically
the change.
MRS. MIDDLETON: We are very much opposed to this.
MR. ALBERTSON: Anyone else wish to be heard one way or the
other? If not, we'll close the hearing at this time for the
further deliberation of the Board, and thank you all for coming.
Besides those who spoke during thehearing, the following
were also present: Mr. John Schram, Mr. Serge Doyen, Mrs.
Gada, Mrs. Clifford Haskins, Mrs. Belmont Timmerman, Mrs.

Mr. Albertson called the hearing to order.
Read recommendation of planning board to change area to M-1Zone--read definition of
what is covered by M-1 Zone.
Anyone in Favor of:
A. John Gada--I have applied for this change in zoning on two other occasions, the
building.,~oes not tend to lend itsself to anything except a multiple
dwelling or a rooming house for employees who do not have any place to
stay on the Island during the winter or even a place to oo for a cup of
coffee. If people come on business during the winter they have to stay
in New London over night at great expanse and loss of time, that is my
reason for asking for this change.
Mr. Albertson: Anyone in opposition.
Mr. Ewing As I representgmy cousins, Anna Edwards and John Schram, I am not voicing any
opposition but would like to know where this property isrin relation
to Mrs. Edward's and Mr. Schram's. Are these the present existing
houses we are talking about and would this affect Mrs. Edward's and
Mr. Schram's right of way.
Mr. Ewing looked at map lots CDE and F are west of right of way.
He requested ordinance regarding M-1 definition to be read again
~r. Albertson
Mr. Ewing
Read ordinance definition again
Speaking now for my cousins, this is of no benefit to them, if Mr.
Gada's application of January is for this, they have no opposition, this
is a gratuity on the part of the neiqhbors in n~t opposing the
potentiallity of this building being used as a public rooming house
and bar as long as the bar does not come under the ordinance theyhave
no opposition.
Mr. Rybitsky: As far as the building there is concerned that is alright~ but I am
against changing the zoning laws.
Mr. Albertson: Read definitiong of~-I Zoning again.
Mrs. Timmerman: What does customary and elementary mean.
Mr. Albe~tson: Anything that goes with the business-referred to painters with ladders
and similiar work.
Mrs. PendletonLThis is not going to do the people in that area any good, we do not need
a boarding house, it will cheapen the neighborhook not a tourist home.
Mr. Gada Bas another building in that neighborhood with apartments on
three floors which is alright but the mi~,~te he makes this house into a
s sun~er boarding house no one knows who will be there.
Mr. Lamb: ~rs. ~endleton, you are evidently not clear to the facts ~egax,i~9
the zoning request~ it is not for a boarding house but for four families
to be able to live there.
Mrs. Pen~eton: It doesn't sound that way to me at all.
~r. Albertson: Mr. Gada's request read again.
Mrs. Pendleto~: That lets in tourists which are not what you want in that district
or in a year round plaoe.
Mr. Gada: The building in question was originally a boarding house for a number of
vears and did not injure anyone at that time.
Mrs. Pendleton: When?
Mr. Gada: ~rs. Hofford and ~r. Fl,mn both ran this as a boarding house, at this time
I want to try and put forth that this will not injure any property. I
own three houses and land in that area and do not want to lower the
value of m- property.
Mrs. ~endleton: The Moffords had it in the eighteen hundreds and there's been l(ts of
cha~ges sinc£ then, at that time there was no post office or nothing-I
cannot see workmen staying in a building without someone to take care ~:f it.
Mr. Ryb~tsk7: if th~s zoning is changed, does that mean he can do anything with the
property,7
Mr. Albertson: No, only what comes under the
Mrs. Pendleton: Who sold this property to Gada?
Mr. Gada Mr. Brown
Mrs. Pendleton: Didn't Matthiessen own this property7
Mr. Gada No, George Maynard originally owned it, Mr. Maxwell owned the other
land near by but not the property, both Mr. Flvnn and Mrs. Laughlin used
it as a rooming house.
Mrs. Pendleton: Who put on th~ horrible addition?
Mr. Gada: Mr. Hendrvx for playroom for children.
Mrs. Paquet: If this goes through as a boarding house or tourist home I hope it is
run decent.
Mrs. Middleton: As owner of the property adjoining, we oppose this change as our legal
right th. enjoY our property undisturbed. We do eot think rezoning should
be done if apartments can he used in adjoining house. Why can't Mr,
Gada use the other house he has there?
Mr. Albertson: Only one house with multiple dwelling can be in this area.
Mrs, ~iddle~on: We are very much opposed to this change.
Mr. Alhertson: Anymore questions, otherwise meeting is closed.

to Amend the Zonln9 Ordinance:
"Pursuant to Section 265 of the Town Law and Section I× of the
Building Zone Ordinance of the Town of Southold, Suffolk County,
New York, a public hearing will be held by the Southold Town Board
at the Fishers Island Fire House, Fishers Island, New York in said
Town on the ISth day of January 1965 at I:00 o'clock in the after-
noon of the said day on the following proposal to amend the Build-
ing Zone ordinance (including the Building Zone maps) of the Town
of Southold, Suffolk County, New York. One. By changing from "A"
Residential and Agricultural District to "M" Multiple Residence
District the following described property:
All those certain lots, pieces or parcels of land situate,
lying and being on Fishers Island, Town of Southold,County
of Suffolk and State of New York, known and designated as

Any person desiring to be heard on the proposed amendment should
appear at the time and place above specified." Dated December
22, 1964 By order of the Southold Town Board, Albert W. Richmond,
Town Clerk."
Mr. Albertson then read the certification that the notice had
appeared in newspapers.
Mr. Albertson then reed the following recommendation of the
Planning Board to the Town Board in part:
December 15, 1964, Gentlemen . It is hereby
Resol;;~';~at the Southold Town Planning Boar~ does not favorably
recommend to the Town Board the change of zone from "A" Residential
and Agricultural Distract to "M" Multiple Residence on the property
of Margaret J. and A. John Gada as described above. The Planning
Board has a large number of protests in its file, including tele-
phone calls, telegrams and letters. The Planning Board has been
over the property repeatedly and feels it should remain "A"
Residential and Agricultural District. Respectfully submitted,
John Wickham, Chairman, Southold Town Planning Board."
Mr. Albertson then reported that telegrams to the Planning Board
had been received by the following persons opposing the change:
Corinne R. Coles, Harris B. Parsons, Anna S. Edwards, Gordon
Murphy for Estate of Mary Murphy; and letters opposed from Herbert
Clarke, Albert Dawson, Lee Ferguson, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. Stanley
Rybitski, Mrs. Kathleen Paquet, Francis Doyen, Serge Doyen, Jr.,
Leonard and Willie Mae Middleton, John Schramm and Gordon S.
Murphy For Estate oF Mary Murphy. He also reported that the Town
Board had received telegrams of opposition From Peter Doroschevich,
A. D. Dawson, John Schramm and Mrs. Francis Cole and letters in
opposition From Hartford National Bank ~ Trust Company For Estate
of Clifford Haskins signed by C. C. Tomlinson 3rd, Gordon S.
Murphy For Estate of Mary Murphy, Serge J. Doyen, Jr., Charles
W, Hedge, Theodore B. Russell, Anna Edwards and H. Lee Ferguson, Jr.
Mr. Albertson then asked if anyone wanted to speak in Favor of the
change of zone. The Following were then heard:
"My name is A. John Gada, I would like to go on record as request-
ing this change. My letter to you with the original request was
made For this purpose: heretofore we had a place where people
could stay overnight. This no longer is true. I now have approxi-
mately $250,000.00 worth of construction under way and have not
been able to get the necessary help here on Fishers Island. I
have also gone to New London,Westerly, Saybrook and Norwich For
worI~men as long ago as last year and as recently as last Tuesday.
There are no men available within I00 miles, partly due to the
fact that PFizer and the Electric Boat have h/red them. Con-
trary to rumors that are going around I Have no intention of
~pening a night club or restaurant or selling liquor. I think as
much oF Fishers Island es you people gathered here today, It is
wonderful to see you are so interested in Fishers Island. However
I regret to say that you have been unjustly misinformed on the
present request For the zoning change. I will show you a map
oF the property in question. It goes From the big rock you all
know up to and including the Brown house. The First building
is a Barber Shop and has two other occupants. The next house is
an apartment house with Four Families end next is the Brown house
and a small cottage. All this property is non-c~nForming. I have
asked to have this area zoned as Multiple Dwelling zone so ( can
put people to live in the Brown house not make a night club oF it.
When I was informed by the "grapevine", not oFFicially that the
Planning Board had turned this down I went to a member oF the Board
on Fishers Island and asked on what basis it had been turned down,
He said because oF the number oF letSers oF opposition. I asked
what reason an~.~'~p ied that they just don't want it because you
will build a night club on the Maxwell property. I told him the
Maxwell property wes not even in the area mentioned and had to take
him and show him For he did not even know the area I wanted re-zoned
but the Board actaed in 9ood Faith on his recommendation./ I will
now read a letter wr;tten by Lee Ferguson. (Copy oF letter attached
and part oF this testimony). This (the letter's contents) is not
whet I asked For and this is whet the Planning Board ac~ed on
and is what these good people wrote their letters about. The
Maxwell property is not even considered. There are a lot oF
-2-
mistruths going around. Two ),ears ago when I asked For a re-zoning
oF the entire area the Supervisor said to avoid spending a lot oF
time since it was a night meeting he would not read the letters
and I agreed. But I went to several people in that area and asked
why they wrote the letters and on what grounds only one man said
he had written a letter and it was because his property was de-
valued by $1,000.00 by my building the Gasoline Station. I said
the Gasoline Station was built before he owned his property and
he kept insisting the assessment was lowered because oF it.
called Ur. Martocchia the head oF the Board oF Assessors and asked
him about this. He said no, that they re-assessed the property
after the man purchased it based on his purchase price and this
was why the assessment was lowered. I am not trying to tear this
Island apart. Every nickel I made is invested here and I do not
hat'e any desire to jeopardize my own living by doing any harm to
Fishers Island."
Ur. Albertson asked iF anyone else would llke to be heard.
name is Kathleen Paquet and I am opposed to any change in
~oning this area"
"My name is Stanley Rybitski, I I;ve on Fishers Island on Montauk
Avenue and bought this place because it is a nice place to live.
I used my entire savings to buy this place and I do not ,wish
the zoning change. Mr. Gada said he wanted to put workmen in the
house and he does not need the zone changed because before he had
people living there,"
My name is Serge Doyen, Jr. and my home .is situated on land border-
ing that in the petition. First I want to straighten somethin9
out. The Petitioner implies the letters were written incorrectly
because we had the wrong property. This is not so and you may
read my letter for I know the property concerned in the request
For the change oF zone. I sympathize with the Petitioner and am
sure he is sincere and do not refute him except that one day he
may drop dead as we all may and when the zone is changed Future
use can be anything other than that intended by Mr. Gada. Once
the zoning is changed his good intentions will mean. nothing to
others and these good intentions still do not change the arguments
that once the zone is changed the rest oF us do not live in a
strictly residential area. I do not have the solution but I do not
th;nk the rest oF us should live in an area changed For one."
Mr. Albertson then read the letter from Mr. Doyen, attached.
"My name is Mrs. Pendleton. How do we know we will

"My name is Martha Ferguson and I am co-executor of the property
of the Estate of Mary Murphy. I agree with Mt. Doyen that we can't
be sure after the initial change is made that the original intent
will be kept. We do not want any change of zone in a residential
district. ¥~e like our homes and want to keep them the way they are."
"My name is Herbert Clarke and J own property in this area. I am
the one Mr. Gada said did not lose the $1,000.00 value on my
property. ~Vhether this is right or not I do not know but I have
a letter at home From the Town and I am opposed to this change."
"1 am William Ewing and represent Anna Edwards and John Schramm
my cousins. Mrs. Edwards owns property on the easterly side of
Hedge Street 150 Ft. south of the Maxwell property and my cousin
John Schramm owns property on the east side of Hedge Street ad-
joining the Maxwell property and diagonally across a I0 Ft. right
of way From the Brown house. Both my cousfns are ~pposed to this
zone changet For the same reason the original ordinance was made,
that we have to consider what is necessary and essential For the
protection of the public regardless of the effect it may have on
one individual. The question is, is it of public interest to have
the "A" Residential Zone changed to "M" Multiple Dwelling. The
intention is excellent and I sympathize with Mr. Gada but this Board
must consider not only the interest now but also Future use, This
is supported by the New York Courts and one case was Sam Myers vs
Oyster Bay #169 Page 159 SecondSupplement when he wan~ed a zone
change to permit the erection of a Gas Station. The Court said
it was not the limitation of a gas station but an>, use would be
permissible under the zoning ordinance requested. Also the case
of Hudson vs. Oyster Bay #288, New York Supplement Page 627 in
which the Court Felt it must take into consideration the "ultimate
use" in a zone change that might benefit one owner but would
be detrimental to Public welfare, In Mr. Gada's case his intent
may be one tBing but it would open up ultimate use of the property
as a hotel, motel, restaurant end so Forth. The cases I cited are
From Rathkopf an authority on zoning. The Petitioner today is
calling For spot zoning and this would be an unwarranted intrusion
of uses that could become detrimental, Mr, Gada has other property
he could house workmen. I show you a tracing marked in red For
what Mr. Gada proposes,For this property is already zoned For his
purposest and here he is not prohibited From doing what he wants.
There are also other areas in Fort Wright available For such uses
and I understand Mr. Gada himself owns property in that area
which would be usable."
Mr. Gada replies: " In reference to what you have said #1 we are
spot zoned now For the Brown house is the only house which is
residential as the house next to it has Four apartments and I
would llke anyone to say it is objectionable. These houses are
non-conforming . You are spot zoning For the Brown house does not
adjoin the Maxwell property. #2 you say places are available but
I do not know of any. It would take 3 to 4 months to get my Fort
property ready and we need the rooms now. This would not be more

objectionable for the Brown house originally was a boarding house
en~ if you can tell me any other place we can put men and a couple

"My name is Leonard Middleton and I live next to the Brown house
and lest summer there was a party there which became boisterous
with instruments playing all night and when I asked them to be
quiet they were very nasty to me and if that is a sample of what
is going to happen when it becomes a boarding house I am against
any change in zone. "
Serge.Doyen, Jr. " I would like to reiterate at this time that
this Is nothing personal but once e zone is changed no matter how
honorable the intent is,other t~ings can change the original intent
and we would not want to live in such an area. I was also aware
of the racket mentioned by Middleton."
"My name is Raymond Edwards and as a property owner I am opposed
to the change of zone."
Cede asked, "What property do you own?" Edwards replied, "Peninsula
lots 35 and 3~."
Martha Ferguson: "May I point out that the opposition to the
rezoning is practically I00~"

"My name is Lewis O. Lamb. There is a case here on the Island

Gentlemen:
Attn: Mr. Lester Albertson
Supervisor
I refer to the petition of A. J. Gada fer a change in
zone from "A" Residential to "M" Multiple Residence ef the
property situated eff Mentauk Avenue, Fishers Island and
subject of a public hearing by the Southold Tewn Board at
Fishers Island, January 15, 1965.
I am opposed to the requested change in zone because
the essentially residential character of the neighborhood
would be destroyed. The property values of the many
individual ~ome owners would be depressed to a degree not
commensurate with any conceivable benefit to the general
public or single individual. Further, the uncertainties
inherent in owning a residence boarding an area zoned for
"M" Multiple Residence should not be inflicted upon the
many individual home owners involved in this case.
Thank you for your kind consideration.

January 15, 1965. It is my understanding that one of the
items to come before this meeting is an application by Mr.
John Gada for a change in the zoning of a tract of land front-
ing on West Harbor adjacent to his gas station to permit its
user a s a multiple dwe lling area.
This application I understand was previously made
to your Planning Board and the Board refused to recommend it
to you.
As one of the two executors of the estate of Mary S.
Murphy, my sister Mrs. H. Lee Ferguson, Jr. of Fishers Island
being the other executor, I wish to record with you my opposi-
tion to Mr. Gada's application. I understand that you will
hear from my sister, Mrs. Ferguson, at the hearing on the
Island but I will be unable to be there, hence this letter.
The land of the estate of Mary S. Murphy is immediately
adjoining that property which is the subject of Mr. Gada's appli-
cation. It is my be lief that the granting of the re lief re-
quested by Mr. Gada would be damaging to the general neighbor-
hood, would constitute spot zoning of an inequitable type and
would contribute nothing to the improvement of this area or

of the Island as a whole. I strongly urge that your Board do
not grant the application of Mr. Gada.

Dear Mr. Wickham:
I received word today from my agent
on Fishers Is&and that Mr. A. John Gada has applied
to the Planning Board for a change in zoning for his
property on the north east side of Montauk Avenue. I
underatand that he is asking that present residential
areas be changed from single to multiple.
My wife and I own property within a few yards
of the area in question. Our property is water front
and contains'three single family dwellings. We also
own another single family dwelling and considerable
land a few hundred yards from this area. We strongly
urge you to turn down any plea for changing the zoning
in this area. Except for a few commercial plots that
date back to years pri~r to the present laws, this
entire area is predominently one-family homes.
I belieWe your records will show that this same
person made a plea quite like this one several years
ago and that it was then turnec town. t s~ no~ning
that should change that decision.
Very truly yours,

Dear Mr. Wickham:
For the continued preservation of Fishers Island as
we all love it and want it to remain, particularly the
West Harbor area - free from further commercialism and
exploitation - I wish to register my skrongest objection to
the possibility of a change of zoning from residential to
a Multiple Dwelling District as applied for by A. J. Gada.
Also, as a real estate broker doing business here for
the past eighteen years, it is my considered opinion that
such a change would unquestionably have a disasterous
effect on the property values of some twenty-two nearby
owners.
I ask that your Board disapprove this application by
thw owner or owners of a single tract of land which will so
greatly and p~rmanently effect one of the few unspoiled
communities and harbors along the entire coast.

A zone change would alter the very definite

results to the living conditions and property values.

Dear Mr. Wickhs~a:

considered for re-zonin~ on Montauk Avenue.
~"e emphatically protest any chance in re-zoning. If
it turned out that this adjoinin~ property were to be used
as a night club, boardin~ house, or tavern ,. it would
~reatly depreciate the value of our property, and the loud
noises would certainly be nerve-wrackin~ and completely

of the County of Suffolk on January 2, 1915, as Map No. 242.
A copy of the aforementioned map is attached hereto and forms a part hereof.
2. I do hereby petition the Town Board of the Town of Southold to change, modify and
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 "M" Multiple Residence District
the above described premises.
3. Such request is made for the following reasons: (a) There is erected a large
frame buiIding containing two rental apartments and a barbershop upon Lots "t~" and
"F". Such uses were commenced many years prior to the enactment of the Southold
Town Building Zone Ordinance and are non-conforming uses.
(b) There is erected an apartment house building containing four rental apartments
upon Lot "D" which use was in existence prior' to the enactment of the Southold Town
Building Zone Ordinance and is a non-conforming use.
(c) There is erected a large dwel~ing building used and occupied for summer
rental purposes upon Lot "C". The building is of such a large size that it is best
used for the uses permitted in the Multiple Residence District.
The premises described herein are adjacent to a gasoline filling station having
a judicially determined non-conforming business use and is in the vicinity of the
Pequot House, a restaurant and hotel presently zoned for business use. The Pequot
House property is the only facility on Fishers Island affording lodging and food.
However, it is presently closed for the winter and there is a need for facilities of
this nature to house employees working on Fishers Island and residing elsewhere·
