I believe that granting his appeal would be a beneficial decision for both Phil and our community as a whole.His plan for the property is well thought out and in line with the best interests of New Suffolk.

They are: Zaning Board a3 appeals 1. This lot has been in existence since 1923 and therefore it should not have to abide by current zoning or setback laws. 2. The neighboring properties are noncompliant and violate setback laws and therefore this new construction should also be permitted to be noncompliant and violate setback laws. 3. The installation of a new IIA septic system mitigates any harm to the environment. Response to these arguments: 1. Mr.Lories"fan7ily did not own the property in 1.923.They purchased it in the 70s when zoning laws were in effect,They were aware of the restrictions on the property when they purchased it. The property was used for boat storage and repair and provided additional land use for Captain Marty's fishing station which the Lorias also owned. Phil and his family have owned residential properties in New Suffolk and sold them. 2. The waterfront houses to the north of Mr.Loria's property were pre-existing,non- conforming structures and received variances based on the fact that they were pre- existing. New construction,like Mr.Loria is proposing,must and should adhere to the code,especially on lots that are in such close proximity to the water. The proposed house is 53 feet wide and 35 feet tall. 3. The new septic system is non-compliant with the 100-foot setback within the Trustee jurisdiction. This property is located in a FEMA special flood hazard area. The entire lot is in the VE and AE flood zones.while the proposed septic system is situated within the better flood zone(AE),it's still in a flood zone, and should be unacceptable for new construction. If there was truly no environmental impact from these systems on the water, the setback laws would not exist. The approval of this application by this Board will substantially increase the value of Mr. Loria's property. But it will produce an undesirable change in the character of the neighborhood,be detrimental to the health of the wetlands,and create a terrible precedent. Other facts: -In 2019,Phil--rebuilt his bulkhead without DEC or Southold town permits. Theto is=rio Southold town trustee permit for the original construction of the bulkhead in the file. -In 2024,the road to the marina,north of Phil's property was breached by the bay and is now unusable and closed Steve Katsoulas 1175 First Street - ' a S' - New Suffolk, NY 11956
