Zoning Board of Appeals RECEIVED

Dear Board Members, ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
As a resident of New Suffolk, I am appealing to the Zoning Board to deny approval of Phil Loria's request
to build an extremely large house at 1090 First Street in New Suffolk. As you know, his application is
asking for variance relief from the town's building code. A few points of my concern include:
➢ The building code requires a 35 foot street setback, although the proposed house is only
13.2 feet from the street—a 62.3%of relief for the owner.
➢ The height of the proposed house is 33 feet 1% inches. The length is 53 feet long. From
the outside it will look like a 3 story building since it will be built on pilings which will be
covered by sidings.
➢ The house could not be built as designed in the current code and I believe the Board
gave serious thought to modifying the code for many reasons, including the above.
Lastly, the character and profile of the New Suffolk hamlet are why the residents feel a special
connection to it. We bought our homes because we felt we would be living in a unique setting,
particularly our waterfront views. That gift will diminish as Mr. Loria's house will set a
precedent for New Suffolk and Southold.
Please give serious thought to how Mr. Loria's residence would impact the rest of the
homeowners.
Sincerely,
Rose Ann Burns
