PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal No. 402 - 7:30 P.M. (E.D.S.T.), upon application ofEdward Nidds, Main Road, Southold, New York, a/c Hartvig Tjornhom, 741 50th Street, Brooklyn, New York, for recogni- tion of access in accordance with State. of New York Town Law, Section 280A. Location of property: north Side Liberty Lane, Southold, New York, part of lots 61 and 62 on map of Nidds, Reydon Heights, bounded north by Co J. Schimanski, east by Edward Nidds, south by Liberty Lane, and west by Edward Nidds. No fee - access. The Chairman opened the hearing by reading application for a variance, legal notice of hearing and affidavit attesting to its Southold Town Board of Appeals -2- August 3, 1961 publication in the official newspaper. THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak for this application? MR. EDWARD NIDDS, $outhold, New York: Yest I do. I have here the signed contract for the construction of the roads and they started on them yesterday. This is a $14~500 job. THE CHAIRMAN: We have a copy of that contract for the file. How many lots are there in this development? MR. NIDDS: R~ht now there are 20 odd left. THE CHAIRMAN: Are there any other questions? (~here was no~sponse.) THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak against this application? (There was no response.) Strict application of the Ordinance would produce undue hard- ship and practical difficulties because applicant cannot secure a building permit because this lot is located on an unapproved highway. 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 Liberty Lane is one3of two roads in this development which is not approved by the Town. A contract to complete these roads has been signed and the roads will be offered to the Town of Southold for dedication. The variance does observe the spirit of the Ordinance and will not change the character of the district because applicant will build a one family dwelling in keep- ing with the area. After investigation and inspection the Board finds that inasmuch as the present unimproved access road Liberty Lane is sufficient for the passage of emergency vehicles and a contract has been signed for the improvement of Liberty Lane so that it may be joined to the other accepted roads in this open development, the Board feels that a 12 months temporary access should be permitted in order that the appli- cant may begin construction of a residence on the lots. Southold Town Board of'Appeals -3- August 3~ 1961 On motion of Mr. Gillispie, seconded by Mr. Bergen, it was RESOLVED that Edward Nidds, a/c Hartvig Tjornhom be granted a 12 months temporary access to lots 61 and 63 on the north side of Liberty Lane, Southold.
