Southold Town Board of Appeals -2- June 29, 1961
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak
for this application?
(There was no response.)
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak
against this application?
(There was no response.)
MR. ROSENBERG: Is this the only access to the lot?
MI~. HOWARD TERRY: Yes, it is.
The Board finds strict application of the Ordinance will
produce practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship because
this is the only possible access to the lot in question. 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 one of the shoEtest private roads in
the area and the lot in question is the furthermost lot on the
road. The variance does observe the spirit of the Ordinance and
would not change the character of the district because this lot
is of sufficient size and a dwelling in keeping with the area will
be erected, therefore
On motion of Mr. Gillispie, seconded by Mr. Bergen, it was
RESOLVED that Harold R. Reeve & Sons~ a/c John & Marie
Kloppenberg be granted recognition of access in accordance with
State of New York Town Law~ Section 280A~ to property on the
north side Cedar Lane, Mattituck. This access is 35 ft. in width
running from Grand Avenue east along land of Demchuk and Kloppenberg
on the North and Hansen and Muttitt on the South and ending at the
land of Suter. The length of this access is approximately 258 ft.
Vote of the Board: Ayes:- Mr. Gillispie, Mr~ Bergen, and
Mr. Rosenberg.
Mr. Robert Ketcham appeared before the Board of Appeals and
presented a letter requesting that his application for a special
Southold Town Board of Appeals -3- June 29, 1961
exception on behalf of theCoronet Restaurant, Appeal No. 361,
be cancelled.
On'motion of Mr. Gillispie, seconded by Mr. Bergen, it was
RESOLVED that the Board of'Appeals accept the letter of Robert
Ketcham requesting the cancellation of Appeal No. 361 on behalf of
the Coronet Restaurant.
Vote of the Board: Ayes:- Mr. Gillispie, Mr. Bergen, and
Mr. Rosenberg.
Mr. Ketcham next spoke to the Board with referenc~ to erecting
a sign on the property of Fismer for the Crescent Beach Colony. He
stated the wording would be: "tn East Marion, Crescent Beach Colony
Motel, Efficiency Apartments.'~ The Chairman stated he thought the
wording would be acceptable. Mr. Ketcham stated he would check
with theCrescent Beach Colony and submit his application before the
next Board of Appeals meeting.
Mr. Ketcham brou'~g~cup the matter of Topper Beer signs being
erected on the property of Krukowski in Southold and also Telles
in Greenport. This matter was turned over to the Building
Inspector for his attention.
In a brief discussion relative 'to size of directional signs
Mr. Ketcham stated he is of the opinion 32 sq. ft. signs would be
much more attractive and pleasing to the eye. He does not believe
billboards are necessary and that small signs are much more dignified.
Mr. Ernest E. Belfi appeared before the Board of Appeals to
file for a variance to the Zoning Ordinance to reduce his easterly
side yard. ~r. Belfi erected an addition to his house 11'3~' from
the side yard rather than 15 ft. as required by the Zoning Ordinance.
Mr. Belfi stated that he did not file for a building permit because
he was under the impression that his original permit for the house
covered any future construction. He stated that the main part of
the house was erected by Lido Construction Company and he had
instructed them to locate the house at least 15 ft. from the
wea~erly property line. After he completed this new addition he
found that the westerly line was only 11'2" and he had violated
the easterly side yard restriction of 15' by having only an 11'3"
easterly side !~ard.

stand. He also was considering a go-cart track on the rear of the
lot. The Board discussed the noise element and safety factory
of a go-cart track. Mr. Albrecht had not looked too far into the
