Southold Town Board of!Appeals -2- June 21~ 1962 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 notification of the hearing to the applicant. THE CHA~: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak for this application? ~IR. ARTHUR LEVINE AND~LR. SHELDONSAGEappeared in favor of the application. THE CHAIRMAN: You plan to eliminate the present sign? MR. SAGE: We plan to move the sign to the west of the property on the west side of the driveway and repaint it to reflect the wording in the application. It is to be single faced. MR. ROSENBERG: Mr. Levine, when you were here in May 1960 you applied for a 6~ by 12~ sign. I assume the sign you are talking about is to be that size, not 8 ft. by 12 ft. as shown in the application. MR. LEVINE: I measured the sign at the time it was erected and I think it was 6~ by 12 ft. Maybe with the moulding it would be a little larger. However, I believe it is 6½ by 12 ft. and the application is incorrect as to the 8 ft. dimenszon. MR. ROSENBERG: I amsure you are aware that the s~gn you have up now has been in violation for about a year, You got a permit for a year in 1960~ and the resolution of which you received an action of said for one year. I would like to have it definitely stated that the sign will be 6½ by 12 ft. which was agreed to in the first place. (Mr. Rosenberg read the action of May 1960.) This is not a business and this permit will have to be issued for one year and you will have to come in each year and have it renewed. However~ if this is changed to a business property you will be permitted a permanent sign. (There was some discussion relative to the advantage of having a double faced sign and the applicants were advised the permission would be for a double faced sign if they desired.) Southold Town Board of Appeals -3- June 21, 1962 THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyonepresent who wishes to speak against this application? (There was no response. ) This special exception is requested for permission to remove an existing sign to a new location and to change the wording. Permission to erect the original sign was granted May 19, 1960. Due to reorganization of the club the sign remained beyond the expiration date. Now, however, the reorganization has been completed and the Board finds upon inspection and investigation that an identification sign is necessary for this new golf course. 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~ therefore On motion of Mr. Gitlispie, seconded by Mr. Bergen, itwas RESOLVED that Island's End Golf and Country Club be granted permission to relocate the present sign provided that it is not located closer than 5 feet from any property line and at least 4 feet. above ground level and not higher than 15 feet and the entire sign not larger than 12~ ft. in length and 6 ft. wide. This sign may be double face if deSire~. Permission for this sign is granted for one year. Vote of the Board: Ayes:- Mr. Gillispie, Mr. Bergen, and Mr. Rosenberg. PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal No. 468 - 8:00 P.M. (E.D.S.T.)t upon application of Douglas Beebe &-Son, a/c Teddy Wells, Riverhead, New York, for a variance in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance, Article III, Section 303, for permission to reduce the area of a lot located at the southeast corner of Southold Town Board of Appeals -4- June 21, 1962 private roads Holbrook Lane and Bungalow Lane~ Youngs Point, Mattituck, New York. Property bounded north by private road (Holbrook Lane), east bl~uE. Wick, south by Harold Weggeland~ and west by private road (Bungalow Lane). 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 of the hearing. THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak for th~ application? MR. TEDDY WELLS, Riverhead, New York: I speak for the application. THE CHAIRMAN: In giving a hardship, it looks as though most of the urnscessary hardship you give in your application has to do with money and a financial hardship is not a legitimate hardship. However, some of the reasons given in other places in the applicatimn would apply here. Have you bought the lot? MR. WELLS: No, I did not want to put mymoney into it until I was sure I could use it. MR. ROSENBERG: How far is your easterly line from the garage of~Weggeland? MR. WELLS: There is 10 ft. from his garage to my line and 10 ft, from my line to my house. THE CHAIRMAN: That is definitely a hardship. 10 ft. must be left from each line and you would therefore only have 90 fto width on one road. Is there anyone present who wishes to speak against this application? "~ (There was no response.) This variance for reduction of area ~nd frontage is based upon the fact that in order to leave at least ten feet side yard for the adjoining property no more than 90 feet frontage is obtainable on one private road with the complete depth of Southold Town Board of Appeals -5- June 21, 1962 103 feet on the other road, this being a corner lot. No more land is available. ~ The applicant is required to so place the house that ail setback requirements will be met. After investigation and inspection the Board finds that the hardship produced by the practical difficulty warrants the granting of a variance° On motion of Mr. Gillispie, seoonded by Mr. Bergen, it was RESOLVED that Douglas Beebe & Son, a/c Teddy Wetls be granted permission to reduce the frontage and area of!a lot located at the southeast corner of private roads Holbrook~Lane and Bungalow Lane, Youngs Point, Mattituck, New York. Vote of the Board: Ayes:- Mr. Giltispie, Mr. Bergen, and Mr. Rosenberg. The Board received a letter from the Building Inspector requesting an interpretation of the Ordinance with regard to the change of use of a non-conforming building. Mr. Tony Machinchik ('who also appeared before the Board)~ Depot Lane, Cutchogue, has had a non-conforming garage, service station and machine shop, and he now wishes to rent part of the building to a cabinet maker. Both operations come under the classification of manufacturing in the State Labor Department rules and regula- tions. The Building Inspector wished to know if an application to change this use would be necessary. After a thorough discussion with Mr. Machinchik it was the Board's determination that this would come under the same classifica- tion and there would be no necessity for making an application. Mro Raymond J. Slavin, Belaire, New York and Mr. Emory Tuthill, Cutchogue, New York, appeared before the Board of Appeals to discuss the action of the Board at a meeting held June 7, 1962. Mr. Tuthill erected an addition on Mr. Slavin's house at Broadwaters Road, Cutchogue, 12 feet from the property Southold Town Board of Appeals -6- June 21~, 1962 line on a corner lot, which is a violation of the Zoning Ordinance. The Board denied a variance to leave the addition as it was erected. Mr. Slavin wished to know if he could do anything about leaving the addition as it was erected. The Chairman read the minutes of the hearing and the action of June 7th and discussed the case with Mr. S!avin and Mr. Tuthill and stated that the action of the Board is final unless new evidence can be introduced. Mr. Slavin stated that there is nothing new other than the fact it would cost a great deal to build another addition atanother location. The Board stated that the financial situation cannot be considered and the addition would have to be removed. They stated however that they would consider a variance to keep the existing foundation as a patio. On motion of Mr. Gillispie, seconded by Mr. Rosenberg, it was RESOLVED that the minutes of the meeting of June 7, 1962 be approved as submitted. Vote of the Board: Ayes:- Mr. Gillispie, Mr. Bergen~ and Mr. Rosenberg.
