No. 5061 - OYSTERPONDS HISTORICAL SOCIETY 1000-25-3-16.1 STREET & LOCATION: 1555 Village Lane, Orient DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: January 10, 2002 FINDINGS OF FACT PROPERTY FACTS: The subject property is a parcel of 57,717 sq. ft. fronting on Village Lane in Orient. It is improved with several historic buildings comprising the museums of the Society. BASIS OF APPEAL: Building Department Notice of Disapproval, dated October 2, 2001, denying a permit to construct a handicap ramp at the rear of the Old Point Schoolhouse because the ramp will be only 5 feet from the rear lot line whereas a 50-foot rear yard is required. AREA VARIANCE RELIEF REQUESTED: Applicant requests a variance authorizing construction of the ramp as proposed, with a 5-foot rear setback. REASONS FOR BOARD ACTION, DESCRIBED BELOW: On the basis of testimony presented, materials submitted and personal inspection, the Board makes the following findings: 1. The proposed ramp is an element in the Society's overall plan to improve access to its buildings. The location was chosen to minimize the visual impact on the historic structures. 2. The current rear setback of the Old Point Schoolhouse is 14 feet, and would be reduced to 5 feet by the proposed ramp. A survey of the property shows that the Hallock Building, to the north of the Schoolhouse, has a 5-foot setback from the same rear lot line. Although the requested variance is substantial in terms of current Code requirements, these buildings have stood for many years in their nonconforming locations and the ramp will make little change. Grant of the requested variance will not produce an undesirable change in the character of the neighborhood or detriment to nearby properties. 3. There is no evidence that grant of the requested variance will have an adverse effect or impact on physical or environmental conditions. 4. Grant of the requested variance is the minimum action necessary and adequate to enable applicant to construct a handicap ramp while preserving and protecting the character of the neighborhood and the health, safety and welfare of the community.

These are currently storied in a historic wooden building in which they are subject to the dangers of fire and extreme weather events. In order to preserve them for:future generations it is essential that they be moved to a building purpose- built to protect then a range of events,such as hurricanes,tornadoes,rising tides,earthquakes,explosions,arson,or failed sprinkler systems. in addition to protecting its contents,the building will enhance the accessibility of the collections to scholars,conmrnuiity members and other with an interest in the history of our area, E The Society has gone to great pains to ensure that of this addition to its existing offices in historic Vail house will be compatible with the character of the Orient community and will not result in any adverse impacts to the surrounduig neighborhood.

I am writing to support OHS's i applications to the Historic Preservation Commission, Zoning Board of Appeals, and Planning Board to construct a new storage addition and new ADA ramp at the Vail House.This addition is necessary to properly store OHS's valuable collection of historical artifacts,which are in urgent need of greater protection. Having reviewed the plans for the addition,I believe that the proposed construction will be compatible with the character of the Orient community and will not result in any adverse impacts to the surrounding neighborhood.Indeed, in keeping with its mission to preserve and honor the history of Orient and the North Fork, OHS has commissioned a design that will blend well with the historic strictures it maintains and fit nicely with its surroundings. I fully support the approval of OHS's applications.
