Southold Town Board of Appeals -7- November 13, 1981 Special
Meeting
RESERVED DECISION: Appeal No. 2846. Application of
Patricia A. Bailey, RR~I, BOX 114, Cutchogue, NY for a Variance
to the Zoning Ordinance, Article III, Section 100-31 for approval
of insufficient road frontage of proposed Parcel No. 3 and
insufficient area of proposed Parcel No. 2. Location of Property:
Northwest side of Leslie Road and east side of Bay Avenue,
Cutchogue, NY; bounded north by Nerone, Ficht and McCleery;
west by Bay Avenue; south by Maly, Price, Price; east by Swia-
tocha; ~County Tax Map Parcel Nos. 1000-97-4-11, 12 and 17.
A public hearing concerning this appeal was held on
September 17, 1981 after due notice thereof in the local and
official newspapers.
The Board made the following findings and determination
concerning this appeal:
Appellant has appealed to this Board seeking a variance
for the approval of an insufficient road frontage of approxi-
mately 117.24 feet along Leslie Road of Proposed Lot 3 and
the approval of an insufficient area of exact square footage
of Proposed Lot 2, unknown to the board. Appellant has sub-
mitted a sketch indicating the square footage of Proposed
Lot 2 to be 36,369. The Board is familiar with the premises
and recognizes there are several existing buildings on each
of the three proposed parcels; however the location of the
lot lines in relation to the location of these buildings
has not been provided for consideration. The Board is con-
cerned as to the nearness of the proposed lot lines and
perhaps whether a building may be situated thereon.
On August 6, 1981 this Board held a public hearing
concerning this same appeal, and the Board rendered a deci-
sion at a meeting held August 26, 1981 denying same without'
prejudice inasmuch as the notice of hearing was not adver-
tised correctly in both the local and official newspapers
and therefore it was not within the authority of this Board
to favorably act upon this application as advertised.
At a Regular Meeting of the Board of Appeals held Septem-
'ber 3, 1981, a resolution was unanimously adopted scheduling
and requiring readvertising of this appeal for public hearing,
which was held and closed on Thursday, September 17, 1981,
pending a decision, upon receipt of an up-to-date certified
survey showing the square footage of proposed Lots 1 and 2
and showing the existing structures with setbacks. Letters
confirming same were forwarded to the applicant on Septem-
ber 23, 1981 and October 28, 1981 and to date the Board has
not received the requested documentation.
~ . The entire premises in question and considered merged
contains an area of approximately 8.3 acres. The zoning
code requires each parcel of land to contain an area of
40,000 square feet with road frontage of 150 feet for
residential purposes. It is the opinion of the Board that
Southold Town Board of Appeals -8-
November 13, 1981 Special
Meeting
(Appeal No. 2846-Patricia A~ Bailey continued:)
there is adequate land available for appellant to meet the
requirements of the zoning code for 40,000 square feet
Without significant economic injury. It is also the opinion
of the Board that the ll7-foot road frontage for Proposed
Lot 3 is not unreasonable and that the unusual shape of
these premises lends itself to practical difficulties in
this appeal for the insufficient road frontage.
In considering this appeal, the Board determines that
the relief requested as to insufficient area may be substan-
tial in relation to the requirements of the zoning code;
that the difficulty can be obviated by some method feasible
for the applicant to pursue other than a variance for
insufficient area; that the circumstances herein are not
unique; that in view of the manner in which the difficulty
arose and in consideration of all the above factors the
interest of justice will be served by denying the variance
as applied for.
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Grigonis, seconded by
Mr. Sawicki, it was
RESOLVED, that the application of Patricia A. Bailey,
Appeal No. 2846 be denied as applied for.
Location of Property: Northwest side of Leslie Road
and the east side of Bay Avenue (a/k/a Skunk Lane), Cutchogue;
bounded north by Nerone, Ficht and McCleery; west by Bay
Avenue; south by Maly, Price, Price; east by Swiatocha;
County Tax Map Parcel Nos. 1000-97-4-11, 12 and 17.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Douglass, Goehringer,
Sawicki and Grigonis. (Member Doyen, Fishers Island, was
absent.) This resolution was unanimously adopted.
APPEAL NO. 2925 dated November 10, 1981. Application
of Arthur M. Schwartz, M.D. and
APPEAL NO. 1632 dated July 26, 1972. Application of
Ruth Sloan Gimbernat.
RE: Letter dated November 6, 1981 and received Novem-
ber 10, 1981 by our office from Roger L. Munz concerning
his father's interest in the right-of-way in the above
appeals.
Motion was made by Mr. Goehringer, seconded by Mr.
Grigonis, and unanimously carried, to reply to Mr. Munz'
letter indicating that the most recent appeal No. 2925 of
Dr. Schwartz is scheduled for public hearing to be held on
Southold Town Board of Appeals -9- November 13, 1981 Special
Meeting
Tuesday, November 24, 1981 at 8:50 o~clock p.m., explaining the
rules and regulations for public notice and notices of petitions

Town Law and the Town Code. The Board also noticed that Mr.
Munz' was appearing to be writing the Board on a personal
basis although his letter appeared on official letterhead
of the Suffolk County Department of Real Estate. The Board
inquired whether or not the Suffolk County Department of
Real Estate had an interest in this appeal.

Location of Property: 780 Fishermen's Beach Road, Nassau
Point, Cutchogue, New York.
Peter R. Stoutenburgh, agent forMr. Curran, appeared
informally before the Board concerning the Board's decision
rendered November 5, 1981. Mr. Stoutenburgh said that they
were contemplating taking 112 square feet from the easterly
side of the dwelling, porch area, in order to comply with
the Board's Condition No. 1 "...That applicant eliminate
112 square feet of building area (when using Mr. Van Tuyl's
calculations for total lot coverage). The Secretary
stated that during the latter part of this afternoon the
Building Inspector (George Fisher) assured that Mr. Curran
would not have to reapply or return to the Board of Appeals
for the proposal contemplated above, inasmuch as he would
appear to be in compliance with the Board's condition.
Motion was made by Mr. Grigonis, seconded by Mr. Sawi~ki,
to designate Jack Davis as road inspector for the Board of
Appeals as required and directed by the Board of Appeals for
inspections and written reports concerning private right-of-
ways, access roads, et cetera.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Douglass, Goehringer,
Sawicki and Grigonis.
Mr. Grigonis reported to the Board on the status of
~he Zoning committee meeting held Thursday, November 12, 1981.
Mr. Grigonis said that a list will be required from the Board
of Appeals as to which variances for access roads on Fishers
Southold Town Board of Appeals -10- November 13, 1981 Special
Meeting
Island have been approved and that inspections and reports on
Fishers Island private roads requiring 280.a approvals from
this Board should be done and a-ldetermination made as to
which roads will require Z.B.A. approvals in order to prevent
duplication of variances, etc. The Board decided to discuss
this further at the next regular meeting of the Board, to wit,
November 24, 1981.
Being there was no further business to come before the
Board at this time, the Chairman declared the meeting closed
at approximately 6:00 o'clock p.m.
