STAPES: I have found things in the present zoning that could p~t me out of business tomorrow as conforming propers, i am merely trying to protect myself. I were to be called into the service or were to b~ laid up for two years ~ would not be able to operate my business when i returned. Zt hms been there for generations. Z am the third generation cf stone cutters, if Z don:t get this change tonight, I have lost nothing except if anything happens to me or the property. I am just trying to protect ~self to ~e able to put bread on the table for the next thirty or forty years. ~G~OR i~RTOCCH~: Does anyone else wish to speak for this application? I~S. i~'L~Y ~T~, Greenport: ~ go along with ~. Staples. ~J~V~OR I~T~C~: is there anyone present who wishes to speak against this application? l~F~$. ~h~E ROB~P~SON, Greenport: Etapies property. T approva of what Board has said for vary good reasons. I live adjacent to the the Suffolk '~ ~ ~oan~y Planning There are sound reasons for ~outhald Town Board -4- May 9, 1972 not granting the application, gs far as we know he can continue to operate his business until doomsday. He doesn't need a Business zone. it could be opened up to a great many other things. The people in that area would prefer to keep it zoned Residential. ~. ROBOT NOLgN: i am a new resident business has been in existence i think it is he stays in that business but there would be in town. If this alright as long as nothing that could stop him from putting in a gasoline station or a used ca~ lot. There would be no redress. ~. gRTP~g~: Could a stipulation be put in? His application stated that he wanted to continue the existing use. I~R. ST~.~w.S: is there such a thing as an amendment? I am in full agreement to having an amendment that if i were to go out of the existing business (cemetery monument) it would revert back to Residential property. I would like to stay in business there and I would not object to an amendment. (A general discussion Followed). ~UFERVISOR ~TOCCHIA: I will check out that request later. it seem_s to be a very good suggestion. ~?BRVISOR ~L~_RT~CCHI~a.: Are there any questions? (There was no response.) S~gPEF~VIS~R ~RTOCCHig: i will now close the hearing. The Board will make a determination at a later date. Thank you far participating. ~Y 9, 1972. To The l~ember~ of the BOUTHOLD TO~ BOARD: As the owner of the premises at 33 Wi±marth ~ve., I am opposed to 2~m. Staples' aDplication for a change of zone from residential %o ~-I General L~usiness for the reasons stated below: 1. Our ~;Iashing%on Heights area is deslguated for residential aevelopment by the Town ~J~ster Plan. 2. "Spot Zoning" would be very bad for the residen%ial character clout area. 3. I feel t~is would downgrade our area and could estaolish a baals £or X'uture similar downgradi~gs. I am no5 opposed to 2~. Staples continuing his present business and under his present zoning he is per- mitted to do so ~oreve~. Therefore, a chaege in zoning is totally u~necessary and I request %~at his application be denied, and ~ne Gecision or t~e Su~I~o£k Oouu~y Dept. To The Members of Southold Town Board: Concernin~ ~. Staples' ~-".29 Wilmarth Ave., .-~vGreenport, N. T. ~ay 20, 1972. application for a B-! General ~usl- ness District, this is to inform you that I am opposed to the grant- i~ of such application. I approve of the action of the Suffolk Co. Dept. of Planning which has disapproved the applieatlon on the grounds that it is contrary.to the Tow~ Master Plan for the Washing- ton Heights area which has been designated for residential develop- me~t Washington Heights is a commUnity of well~ken~omes, and tv give a B-1 zoning in the area would downgrade it and would be "spot zoning", which is to be avoided. Also, the narrow two lane road on both ~ln St. and Wllmarth Ave. would not support business traffic in that area and would create d~ngerous traffic situations detrimental to the safety of everyone. Under a B-! General ~siness District zone Mr. Staples would be permitted to c,nduct several kinds of business, such as places of amUsement, fishing stations, new and used car lots, public garages, gasollue service stations, etc., or could sell his property for such uses, all of which would be harmful to the residential character of our Washington Heights area. I want to make it clear, however, that I ~have no objection to~.~ Staples conti'~uing his presenMbusin~ssi of tette~ing and selling cemetery monuments. His application states "This change is desired to formalize an existing use". As is apparent to everyone, no formaliza- tion is needed to continue his pre~e~t business and, therefore, his application should be disapproved as it has been by t~e Suffolk Dept. of Planning. ~_~.~ /, ~ ~ Copy to !~. Robert Tasker, who indicated at the Hearing that it is not possible to approve a B-1 zone ~lth restrictions limiting ~.
