September 28, 1961
Mr. Rosenberg, Acting Chairman, opened the hearing by read-
lng application for a special exception, legal notice of hearing,
affidavit attesting to its publication in the official newspaper
and affidavit of Town Clerk relative to posting Amendment No. 45.
MR. ROSENBERG: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak
for this application?
MR. IRVING L. PRICE, Jr., Greenport: The Orient Central
Cemetery Association with an eye to the future has contracted to
purchase additional acreage from the adjoining property owners
at what the Orient Central Cemetery Association finds to be a very
advantageous p~ice. With the so-called population explosion the
Central Cemetery Association believes that now is the time to
secure this additional room for burials in the future. There is
a strong possibility that this land and other land will not be
available in the future and now is the time to take advantage of
it, and the Association has the funds. Of course, if we receive
the Board of Appeals' approval we still are subject to the approval
of the Board of Supervisors, Town Board, County Planning Board and
State Health Department.
We are complying with all 12 items in the Ordinance. This
property is vacant, it is becoming uneconomical as far as farming
is concerned. Since it is an extension of the present cemetery
it will not prevent the orderly and reasonable use of adjoining
property. The safety, health and welfare of the Town ._will not
be affected because it will only be an extension of the present
use as it has been there many many years.
MR. ROSENBERG: Are there any residences on this adjoining
property?
MR. PRICE: No, this is only a small part of a large tract
of vacant land. We are only taking a little over four acres
of the large tract.
MR. ROSENBERG: Do you recall when the original cemetery
was established?
MR. PRICE: No, but I am sure it has been there over 100
years.
Southold Town Board of Appeals -3-
September 28, 1961
After investigation and inspection the Board finds that this
non-profit cemetery association which has besn in operation for
many years in this smalI farming community has the opportunity to
secure additional land. In that way the residents may continue
to have their own burial ground.
This cemetery is located well away from a main road and is
in the midst of farms which have been operated by the same families
for many generations. The Board has found no objections to this
expansion, quite the contrary.
There is full compliance with the standards or requisites
set forth in the Ordinance and the Board feels that no conditions
are necessary and thatthe right to the exception exists.
On motion of Mr. Bergen~ seoonded by Mr. Grigonis, it was
RESOL ED that the Orient Central Cemetery Association be
granted permission to extend the existing cemetery.
Vote of the Board: Ayes:- Mr. Rosenberg, Mr. Bergen, and
Mr. Grigonis.

THE CHAIRMAN: Is thereanyone present who wishes to speak
for this application?
(There%as no reponse.)
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak
against this application?
(There was no response.)
Th~s Appeal No. 409 concerns the realignment of two adjoining
lots. One of these lots was developed in 1904 prior to the
establishment of Peconic Bay Boulevard, and the other in 1920.
As noted in the appeal the purpose of the realignment is to
place the driveway on the proper lot and would increase the west
lot frontage of 95 feet while reducing the easterly lot to 90 feet.
After investigation and inspection the Board finds that there
exists an unnecessary hardship as the property about to be sold
would not have a driveway with its present frontage. At this time
the two properties are used by the same family.
This is a unique situation and the character of the neighborhood
would not be changed.
On motion of Mr. Bergen, seconded by M~r. Grigonis, it was
RESOLVED that James Wesson be granted permission to reduce
frontage and use as a single lot property located on the north
side Peconic Bay Boulevard, Laurel, New York.
Vote of the Board: Ayes:- Mr. Bergen, Mr. Rosenberg, and
Mr. Grigonms.
The next meeting of the Southold Town Board of Appeals will
be held 7:30 P.M., Thursday, October 5, 1961.
Meeting adjourned at 8:20 P.M.
