is over 30 ft. for the drives on the course. The area to be
reserved for parking will be t00 ft. by 100 fro and 100 ft. by
100 ft. is to be reserved for the course itself.)
THE CHAI~MA_N: If this application is granted when would
construction start?
(Mr. Pumilto stated that construction will not start for
approximately a year. He had intended to start this spring but
had difficulty with ~he financing of the project. He hopes to
start by February of 1963o)
THE CHAIRMA~N: Is there anyone present who wishes to s~eak
against-~this application?
(There was no response.)
This is an application for a special exception to erect and
maintain a miniature golf course with related facilities approx-
imately 160 feet from the~Main Road property line, directly in
the rear of the existing restaurant and residence. At the present
time two access driveways exist.
The proposed enterprise~ill occupy a plot approximately 100 ~o
by 100 fto and will consist of the uSual equipment. It will be
properly enclosed and the proposed lighting will not cause a
traffic hazard°
The standards set forth in the Ordinance for consideration
for a special exception have been met°
After investigation and inspection the Board feels that this
enterprise meets all the requirements for the special exception
and should be granted with the condition that substantial construction
Southold Town Board of Appeals -3- April 12, 1962
be completed within 12 months from the date of this resolution.
On motion of Mr. Gillispie, seconded by Mrl Rosenberg, it was
RESOLVED that Harry Pumillo, Jr. be granted permission to

from the date of this resolution.
Vote of the Board: ~;es:- Mr. Gillispie, Mr. Bergen, and

Mr~ RoDert Ketcham, Jr., East Marion, appeared before the
Board of Appeals for an informal discussion. Mr. Eetcham wishes
to erect a directional sign for the Pa~ Diner on the property of
Sage in west Greenport and two directional signs for Rhodos Pavilion
on the property of Sage in west Greenport and Edwin King in west
Greenport. These directional signs would be 4 ft. by 6 ft.
The Board stated that the sign for the Park Diner seems
reasonable but Rhodos Pavilion presently has two signs placed
in the highway and they could not be allowed additional signs
when they presently have two illegal signs.
There was a brief discussion relative to the sign of Crescent
Beach Colony which was ere cted on the Fismer property in Southol~.
Mr. Ketcham secured permission to erect ~his sign and when it was
erected illegal wording was pla~ed on the sign~ Mro Ketcham stated

be allowed but Mr. Corniburt wished the sign erected anyway.

THE CPLAI~Wi~N: Is there anyone present.who wiShes to speak
for this application?
MR. KENNETH R~AB~ BayAvenue~ East Marion: I believe the
application cover's everything.
(The Board asked Mr. Raab to indicate on a pencil tracing
appearing in the file the location of other detached or attached
garages in his neighborhood. He indicated four detached garages
located almost directly on the front property line and another
setba~ several feet from the property line. He stated that his
proposed ~arage would be in line with the house of his adjomning
neighbor. The garage could not be placed in the ~.rear yard area
as the land drops off quite steeply. He has located the proposed
garage in such a position as to make it possible to pass to the
rear and so it will not cut off light and air to the existin~ 'house°)
THE CPIAIRM~N: Is there anyone present who wishes to spe~c
against this application?
(There was no response°)
This application for~ reduction of side yard is based upon
a practical difficulty. ~e lot is 57 feet wide and the residence
is centered~ The proposed attached garage will be located about
60 ft. from the front property line which is further back than
the average setback. The 2 foot side yard reduction is necessary

in order to locate the addition so that access to the rear of the
house may be maintained and at the same time allow light, etc. to
penetrate ~he residence. The nearest building on the side ~ere
the variance is sought is about ~40 fto

there is a definite practical difficulty and the variance should
be granted.
