The Chairman opened the hearing by reading application for
a special exception, legal notice of hearing~ affidavit attesting
to its publication in the official newspaper and notice to the
applicant.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak
for this application?
MR. GENE E. ELEINSMITH spoke in favor of the application.
THE CHAIRMAN: You purchased this property in 1959 from
Beatrice~Wasson?
MR. KLEINSMITH: Yes.
THE CHAIRMAN: How long had she owned it?
MR. ~.RINSMITH: For at least 15 years, or better.
THE CHAIRMAN: ~aat is the main reason for this application?
MR. A~INSMITH: The main reason is that t want the house facing
the inlet of Brus~s Creek and the Bay.
MR. BERGEN: ~nere will the garage b~?
MR. ET~INSMITH: The garage will be entered from the top
of the right-of-way~ the southwest corner.
THE CHAIRMAN: What would happen if you put this house parallel
with the Creek?
MR. KLEINSMITH: I would not have much room and there would
be a severe curve going into the garage. Also, I had a topographical
survey of the property and the one corner of the property near the
water is only 4 feet above h~h water mark.
THE CHAIRMAN: Are there any other questions ?
(There was no response.)
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak
against this application?
South01d Town Board of Appeals
-3- August 22~ 1963
(There was no response.)
The applicant has a lot which was established as a single
lot pr~gr to zoning. The lot is narrow and for the proper
location of the proposed house it is necessary to place it at an
angle thereby making it necessary to reduce the front yard setback
to 6 feet. The southerly boundary of the lot is on a private
right-of-way serving the applicant and two other houses.
The lot slopes considerably and one corner of the house will
be only 4 feet out of the ground and that is a further reason for
setting the house back as far as possible.
The Board finds that the public convenience and welfare and
justice will be served and the legally established or permitted
use of neighborhood property and adjoining use districts will not
be permanently or substantially in3ured and the spirit of the
Ordinance will be observed.
On motion of Mr. Bergen, seconded by Mr. Hulse, it was
RESOLVED that Gene E. Kleinsmith, Peconic Bay Boulevard,
Laurel, be granted permission to reduce the front yard setback
on a private right-of-way to 6 feet. Location of property:
S 3/4 of lot 4 and N 1/4 of lot 5 on map of'Elizabeth Mesrobian,
on a private road on the south side of Peconic Bay B~levard,
Laurel, New York.
vote of the Board: Ayes:- Mr. GIltispie, Mr. Bergen, and
Mr. Huise.
PUBLIC PIEARING: Appeal No. 595 - 7:50 P.M. (E.D.S.T.)~
upon application of~Wiliiam E. Gotder a/c Southold Pharmacy,
Main Street, Southold, New York, for a special exception in
accordance with the Zoning Ordinance, Article IV, Section 408,
Subsection (b~ 1, for permission to erect and maintain a wall
sign containing in excess of the maximum square footage permitted.
Location of property: north side Main Street, Southold, New York~
bounded north by John Bucci, east by J. Krupski - Johnsont south
by Main Street, and west by K. Pylko. Fee paid $5.00.
Southold Town Board of Appeals -4- August 22, 1963
The Chairman opened the hearing by reading application for
a special exception, legal notice of hearing, affidavit attesting
to its publication in the official newspaper and notice to the
applicant.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak
for this application?
MR. WILLIAM E. GOLDER, Southold, New York: I understand
there is formal ~oppQsitio~ to this application. If there is
opposition I will withdraw the applica~on because the idea of the
application was to benefit the %o'~,~ and if the people do not want
it I will withdraw it. First, I would like to read a statement i
have prepared and possibly there will be a change of opinion.
I would like to present our side of the argument as to why
we need and desire the words, "SOUTHOLD RxPHARMACY"~ painted across
the top of our building in 3 ft. black letters; but I want it clearly
understood from the start that if, after listening to our side of
the argument, the opposition is still definitely agsiast granting the
variance, Don and I will withdraw our application for a variance and
will put up a sign that complies in all respects with whatever size
sign the Board sees fit to give us.
We had no idea that the words, "SOUTHOLDRxP~_ARMACY," in
simple black letters on a white background (not a glaring neon
sign, but one definitely in good tas~e~would disturb any
progressive civic minded citizen, especially as our 3 ft. letters
would be s~aller than the "Wallace Furniture" sign that is being
replaced. If the sign read "Ipswich Beer" or'~ Brand Fungicide"
like the many road signs now displayed in the town~ we could
understand objections being raised.
Maybe we're prejudiced~but we consider the store we're opening
to be the epitome of modern pharmacy and a professional enterprise
that the village may well be proud of now and in years to come.
To sum up, i hope that our opponents will reconsider their position,
and remembering that our competitors have "many" signs, give us a
break and allow us'one' that will tell outsiders we're in business.
I guarantee all year round residents will appreciate our service
and won't need a sign to bring them into the store.
The old Bohack building has been an eyesore coming into the
Town and if a little paint will not help it out I am sure I am wrong.
Southold Town Board of Appeals -5- August 22, 1963
Also, I am told by the painter the letters will not be
3 feet high. There are goose-necks that reflect back against
the building and the letters will be just painted on there.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone else present who wishes to
speak for this application?
(There was no response.)
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wish~s to speak
against this application?
M~. HOWARD SCHWARTING, Southo~d: I appear as a representative
of the Southwood Property Owners Association. We feel that the
Zoning Ordinance is provided for amply for this pharmacy to have
a sign and is plenty big enough for the purpose is is going to serve.
If the Board of Appeals grants this request it is going to undo a
lot of good we are trying to do. I have talked with Mr. Scott and
we came up with some figures that would be interesting to the
Board of Appeals. We don't object to the sign that is going up.
The lettering is nice~ the illumination is fine. We do object to
the exceeding of the Ordinance. 86 square foot is permitted and
we believe that size would be suffic~s~t for that building. If this
building was on a corner they could be seen for quite some distance
and the pharmacy would be justified in requesting relief in getting
a sign. When you come down Main Street within 100 ft. you would
not be able to read it. There are trees in the way and increasing
the size of the letters would not increase the visibility.
(The Chairman explained the difference between a variance and
a special exception.~
MR. GOLDER: Let's just forget it. I do not want to see
anyone in opposition, I don't want to step on anyones toes. I
had no idea there would be any objection. What I would like to
do is withdraw the application.
MR. SCHWARTING: I would like to commend Mr. Golder because
he is the first gentleman who has been willing to withdraw an
application of this nature.
I do not know if you know it, Mr. Golder, but that Wallace
sign was in violation~ it was a non-conforming sign.
Sputhold Town Board of Appeals
-6- August 22, 1963
(The Chairman read a letter from Ruth Rosenberg expressing
her disapproval of permitting any increase of size of a sign any-
where in Southold Town. She par ticularly referred to the application
of Southold Pharmacy.)
T~E~CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone else present who wishes to
speak against this application?
MR. EDWIN Preilwitz~ Peconic: I was Chairman of the sign
committee for the Southold-Peconic Civic Association and I think
Mr. Golder is to be commended for his reaction to the opposition.
This sign %ould change the character of the village and we are
trying to keep a fair standard of appearance in.Southo~d. It is
good business and that seems to be the way we are going.
MR. IRVING JOHNSON: I would like to second the protest read
by Mr. Schwarting.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone else?
(There was no response.)
MR. GOLDER: I would like to nDve that the application be
withdrawn.
On motion of Mr. Gillispie, seconded by Mr. Bergen, it was
RESOLVED that William Golder, a/c Southold Pharmacy be granted
permission to withdraw his appeal No~ 595°
Vote of the Board: Ayes:- Mr. Gillispie, Mr. Bergen, and
Mr. Hulse.
PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal No. 596 - 8:00 P.M. (E.D.S.,T.)~
upon application of John R. and Jean P. Edler, Cleaves Point
Road, East Marion~ New York~ for a variance in accordance with
the Zoning Ordinance, Article III, Section 300, Subsection 7,
for permission to maintain an accessory building in the side yard
area. Location of property: Lot No. 4 on map of Marion Manor~
Southold Town Board of Appeals -7-
August 22~ 1963
south side'Cleaves Point Road~ East Marion, New York, bounded
north by Cleaves Point Road~ east by Martin Meyers Lot 3, south
by~Gardiners Bay, and west by Peter Blank, Lot 5. Fee paid
$5.00.
The Chairman opened the hearing by reading application for
a variance, legal notice of hearing~ affidavit attesting to its
publication in the official newspaper,notice to the applicant.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak
for this application?
MR. JOHN R. EDLER: I just hope that it is granted because
my vacation is running out and having to go back Sunday for services
it just gives me five days to take it down or continue building it.
I was going to put it near my cellar-way but I thought it would be
better to go to an area near the road and it was the normal way
for the kids to bring in their bikss. I came in and asked about
building it and Mr. Terry~s secretary explained it to me and I
either misunderstood or read the ordinance wrong but I thought
it was all right to put it where I did.
(The Chairman explained about front yard and rear yards on
water front lots.)
THE CPIAIRMAN: Is there anyone else present who wishes to
speak for this application?
MRS. EDLER: This is in the side yard and not the front yard.
MR. EDLER: The front door of our house is further from the
road than any other of the lots in Marion Manor. When Mr. Meyer
built and we built we staggered the house so that we had air from
both sides. If I knew this would be in violation of the Ordinance
I would have made the addition to the house.
THE CHAIRMAN: Are there any other questions?
(There was no response.)
TP~ CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak
against this application?
(There was no response°)
August 22~ 1963
Southold Town BOard of Appeals -8-
THE CHAIRMAN: I would just like to point out that in your
reasoning you give'the cost of construction as a hardship. We
are not permitted to consider a financial hardship in granting a
variance, everyone it is assumed has a financial hardship.
After investigation and inspection the Board finds that the
applicant has a waterfront lot and to build the storage building
in t he rear yard toward the water would be a hardship in that it
would obstruct the view of the applicant and several of his
neighbors, and also the b~ilding could not be utilized properly.
The applicant's house is set~ack 134 feet from the front
property line and the depth of the lot is 346 feet. The Board
finds that the placement of the storage building is the best
location for it on the applicants property. It would not obstruct
the view or light or air of the adjoining prpperty owners.
~ne Board finds that strict application of the ordinance will
produce practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship; the hard-
ship created is unique and would not be shared by all properties
alike in the immediate vicinity of this property and in the ~me use
district~ and the variance does observe the spirit of the Ordinance
and will not change the character of the district.
On motion of Mr. Gillispie, seconded by Mr. Bergen, it was
RESOLVED that John Ro and Jean P. Edier be grantdd permission
to maintain an accessory building inthe side yard area, 5 feet from
the side property line and the front of the accessory building in
line with the front of applicant's house. Location of property:
Lot 4 on map of ~arlon Manor, south side of Cleaves Point Road,
East Marion, New York.
vote of the Board: Ayes:- Mro Gillispie, Mr. Bergen, and
FLr. Hulse.
PUBLIC PtEARING: Appeal No. 597 - 8:15 P.M. (E.D.S.T.),
upon application of Michael Razzano, Sunset Way~ Southold, New
York, for a variance in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance,
Article III~ Section 300, Subsection 7, for permission to erect
Southold Town Board of Appeals
-9-
August 22~ 1963
an accessory building in the front yard area. Location of
property: south side Sunset'Way~ Southold, New York, Lot No.
164 on map of Cedar Beach Parkt bounded north by Sunset-Way,
east by Samuel Grimson, Lot 165, south by Cedar Beach Harbor,
and west by Francis W. Campbell, Lot 163. Fee paid $5.00.
The Chairman opened the hearing by reading application for
a variance, legal notice of hearing, affidavit attesting to its
publication in the official newspaper and notice to the applicant.
T~ CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak
for this application?
MR. MICHAEL RAZZANO: I have already built this building on
my vacation with the idea that if it did not go through I could
possibly move it. It is fastened but not secure. Where it is
now located on the cement slab it would be a great convenience
as I would not have to lift tools up. Itwould be a job for me to
move lawn mowers and chairs up to it if I had to put it in the
rear yard. The rear yard is on the water and most of my rear yard is
under water at high tide. I would have to build the building on
piers. The house itself is alrdady built up. The slab I am using
was where the house was originally located, but because it was so
close to the road I moved it back of my own free will, even though
I knew that it violated the Ordinance, because I did not have to
do it since it was there before zoning.
MR. HOWARD SCPEqARTING: We aretrying to keep things in order
in the Town. It seems that Mr. Razzano should have tome to the
building department and talked this over before ~gthis on his
own.
~. HOWARD TERRY, Building Inspector: Mr. Razzano came in
and talked about it before he built it. I told him he would
need a variance.
(The Chairman explained about the location of buildings on
water front lots. Establishing setbacks was also discussed.)
MR. EDWIN PRELLWITZ: This is obviously an exceptional lot.
Southold Town Board of Appeals
-10-
August 22, 1963
After investigation and inspection the Board finds that Mr.
Razzano has a very unusual lot. At high and storm tides a good
part of his lot is covered by water. His dwelling itself i~ located
on piers to be above the high tides. The accessory building would
be 30 feet from the front property line~ which is only five feet
short of the minimum front yard setback requirement. Et would be
almost an impossibility to locate the accessory building in the
rear yard because it is covered by water most of the time.
Other lots in this area would have the same problem with
accessory buildings. The Board finds that the location of this
building would not affect the character of the neighborhood in
any way.
The Board finds that strict application of the Ordinance will
produce practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship; 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; andthe variance does observe the spirit of the Ordinance
and will not change the character of the district.
On motion of Mr. Gillispie, seconded by Mr. Hulse, it was
RESOLVED that Michael Razzano be granted permission to erect
an accessory building in the front yard area of his lot located
on the south side of Sunset Way~ Southotd, New York~ 30 feet from
the front property line.
vote of the Board: Ayes:- Mr. Glllispie, Mr. Bergen, Mr.
Hulse.
PUBLIC P~EARING: Appeal No. 598 - 8:30 P.M. (E.D.S.T.)~
upon application of Yennicotte, Inc., Bayview Road~ Southold, New
York, for a special exception in accordance with the zoning
Ordinance, Article III, Section 300, Subsection 11, for permission
to erect and maintain a directional sign for "The Heritage."
Location of property: on the property of ~ntone SurozenSki, south
side Route 25, Southoid~ New York, bounded north by Main Road,
east~ south and west by Michael Surozenski. Fee pai~ $5.00.
Southold Town Board of Appeals -11- August 22, 1963
The Chairman opened the hearing by reading application for
a special exception, legal not~ce of hearing, affidavit attesting
to its publication ~n the official newspaper and notice to the
applicant°
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak
for this application?
(There was no response.)
~HE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak
against this application?
MR. EDWIN PRELLWITZ: This is one of the critical problems,
directional signs. I think we all agree they are a necessity.
The control of the type, location and size is most important for
the well-being of U the Town as a whole. I am curious as to the
type involved in this application. Where a number occur they
should be incorporated.
THE CHAIRMAN: This sign is to be 3 ft. by 4 ft. with the
wording "The Heritage~ Restaurant, Inn~ Cocktail Lounge~ Take
Next Right~ South Harbor Lane, 500 fto" Everything seems to be
directional except for the words, "Cocktail Lounge". I don't
think we can permit that. We have thought that signs should be
directional only and not included with advertising because there
is no limit to the number of things people can put on a sign as
advertising.
MR. STEPHEN CAMPBELL: Directional signs are permitted?
This restaurant is in a very desirable location on the waterfront.
This restaurant alsohas a directional billboard, and there is a
directional sign at a gas station opposite~Ullrich's Marina. If
one selects a location on the waterfront should he have the advantage
of signs all along the way to it?
MR. HOWARD TERRY: That sign at the gas station is in the
highway and we have no jurisdiction over it.
THE CHAIRMAN: Some waterfront businesses are on just a
short road to them, some are on a winding road far off the Main
R oa~. This is one of them°
MR. SCh~ARTING: Between SoJahold and Greenport there are 51
off premises signs including billboards.
Southold Town Board of Appdals -12- August 22, 1963
THE CHAIRMAn: It is our belief these two signs are reasonable
in view of ~ we have done in the past. We consider it is in the
interest of the traveling public to find a place to eat and sleep~
that is the reason we are in favor of directional signs for motetst
hotels, restaurants and marinas.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anything further?
(There was no response.)
The Board finds that the applicant is in need of a directional
sign for "The Heritage"~ a restaurant located approximately 3½ miles
from the Main Road (Route 25) on Bayview Road, Southold. The route
toathis restaurant is confusing to travelers and therefore it would
be/hardship if this application were not granted. This sign is in
good taste and will be strictly directional in nature.
The Board finds that the public convenience and welfare and
justice will be served and the legally established or permitted
use of neighborhood property and adjoining use districts will not
be permanently or substantially injured and the spirit of the
Ordinance will be observed.
On motion of Mr. Hutse~ seconded by Mr. Gillispie, it was
RESOLVED that Yennicotte, Inc. be granted permission to
erect and maintain a directional sign on the property of Antone
Surozenskit south side Route 25, S~thold~ New York. The size of
this sign shall be 3 ft. by 4 ft., located no closer than 5 ft.
from any property line. The lower edge of this sign shall be
3 ft. above the ground level and upper edge no higher than 15 ft.
~ in. The wording on the sign shall be: ~The Heritage,
Restaurant- Inn, Take next Right, South Harbor Lane, 500 ft."
The words "Cocktail Lounge" shall not be permitted on the sign.
This sign is subject to the same regulations and controls
which affect non-conforming signs.
vote of the Board: Ayes:- Mr~ Gillispie~ Mr. Bergen, and
Mr. Hulse.

The Chairman opened the hearing by reading application for

publication in the official newspaper and notice to the applicant.
THE C_M3~IRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak for
this application?
MR. HOW~RDWELLS: The statements are in the application.
THE CF~AIRMAN: What is the size of your lot?
MR. WELLS: It is 660 ft. deep, 150 ft. wide on South Drive
and 205 feet on the water. There is 450 ft~ between me and the
road that I cannot use because it is front yard. In order to put
the accessory building on the back yard it would have to go on the
beach.
THE CHAIRMAN: We looked at it. It is very steep.
MR. WELLS: The property is all sloped.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone else 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?
MR. LOUIS A. ZIEGLER: I am the owner of property directly
opposite on the north side of Bayview Avenue. I am not objecting
to the building. I feel apparently this seems to be a special
favor he is asking for for the reason that he has had a non-
conforming business prior to the existence of zoning.
MR. WEtJ,S: According to the Ordinance I cannot have a ga~e
on the property~ but I can't rebuilt it to more than 50% of the
value of the building at 1957.
MR. ZIEGLER: Bayview Avenue has alW&~~ been a reaidential
area. I understand his building is going to be put on Bayview
Avenue. I urge the Board to recommend to Mr. Wells that he build
Southold Town Board of Appeals -16- August 22~ 1963
a building that conforms to the residential nature and architecture
so that it does not depreciate the value of all his neighbors
property.
THE CHAIRMAN: Ours is a very limited form of zoning and we
are not in a position to tell Mr. Wells what type of building he
can construct. Ail we can act on is the location of it. What
type of architecture or shingles or siding goes into it are not
within the jurisdiction of any regulatory body in the Town of
Southold.
MR. ZIEGLER: What will the size be?
MR. WELLS: 30 ft. by 40 ft.
MR. ZIEGLER: What will it be used for?
MR. WELLS: To contain equipment, a bulldozer, bucket loader
and grader. I possibly cannot get the grader in it.
MR. ZIEGT.W.R: The grader has been there for two years and
we never objected.
MR. WELLS: I should think you would be glad for me to put
the equipment under cover out of sight.
(The type of construction was discussed.)
THE CHAIRMAN: I think there is more that we should know
about this and our position relative to acting on the application.
I suggest that we reserve decision for two weeks.
On motlon of ~Lr. Gillispie, seconded by Mr. Hulse, it was
RESOLVED that the hearing upon Appeal No. 600 of Howard Wells

George A. McMann, Esq. appeared before the Board to ask for
a decision of the Board in the matter of the application of Edwin
H. King for a marina at Orient. The Board said that no decision
had been made and they had been informed that an action was
instituted in the Supreme Court in Riverhead to determine the area
under dispute. Under those conditions the Board would not even
try to make a decision on the marina. Mr. McMann stated that the
applicant had produced every proof of title to the property and
the Board should act upon that. They advised Mr. McMann that a
decision would be reached at the next meeting~ September 5th, 7:30 P.M.
The next meeting of the Southold Town Board of Appeals will
