THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak
for this application?
EDWARD COSTELLO, ESQ., Greenport, New York: I wi~h to speak
in behalf of Burt's Coal, Inc. In 1955 this property Was transferred
to people by the name of Brown and Levine and it was subdivided
upon the basis of approximately 60 ft. per loto The adjacent prop-
erty on the Southerly side of the road was on a 50 ft. by 100 ft.
basis. At some point Mr. Burt,through Burt*s Coal, Inc. bought this
piece as a matter of protection and left 130 fto on the easterly
side of the building that was used for no purpose whatsoever° There
was a building started on the easterly portion, the cellar was dug
and it was apparently abandoned so it leaves a serious sore spot.
Mr. Burt is now in a position to sell a portion of his property~
but he can't sell th~ whole thing.
THE CHAIRMAN: Was this project started after Mr. Burt
bought the property?
Mt~. COSTELLO: Before; it was started in 1956 or 1957.
THE CHAIRMAN: When did Mr~ Burt buy the property-~
MR. COSTELLO: I believe it was 1960 or thereabouts.
MR. BURT: That is correct.
MR. COSTELLO: Now that Mr. Burt has an opportunity to sell
the westerly portion of the property he feels the best thing to do
is divide the parcel in half. That would leave 90 ft. frontage
with each loto
THE CHAI~N: Are there any questions anyone would like
to ask Mr. Costello or Mr. Burt?
(There was no response.)
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak
against this application?
(~here was no response.)

January 4, 1962
As a result of investigation and inspection the Board finds
that the applicant purchased three 60 fto lots in the subdivision.
The westerly lot is improved and the other two lots are vacant.
The applicant proposes to enlarge the improved lot by increasing
it to 90 feet and use the remaining 90 feet as a separate lot.
The Board f~Is that inasmuch as all of the lots in this
development are 60 feet in width permission should be granted the
applicant to divide the 180 feet into two lotso
The Board further finds that strict application of the Ordinance
would produce praciical difficulties or unnecessary hardship; the
hardship created is unique and would not be shared by all properties
alike in the immediate vicinity of this property and in the same use
district and the variance does observe the spirit of the Ordinance
and would not change the character of the district; therefore
On motion of Mr. Gillispie~ seconded by Mr. Bergen~ ~it was
RESOLVED that Burt's Coal, Inc. be granted permission to
divide property located on the north side of Manhanset~Avenue,
Greenport: into two 90 ft. lots.

A salesman from the Ao Anthony ~eal Estate Agency, Rocky
Point, appeared before the Board of Appeals to discuss Lot Noo 4
in Capt. Kidd Estates, Mattituck. This lot is 125 ft. on Central
Drive, 45 fto on Long Island Sound and approximately 695 ft. in
depth. The salesman indicated that the two purchasers of the lot
wish to erect two dWellings on the Sound frontage of this property.
The Board advised that that definitely could not be done~ The lot
could be divided into two or three lots, a lot on Central Drive,
one on the Sound and a third in the center. The center lot would
require3~recognition of access. The salesman advised he would relay
this information to the A. Anthony office before any further action
is taken.
On motion of Mr. Gitlispie, seconded by Mr. Rosenberg~ it was
RESOLVED that the minutes of the meeting of December 14~ 1961
be approved as submitted.

The Board of Appeals received an application for recognition
of access from Rose Ao Caputoo The location of the property is
on a right-of-way off of Rocky point Road~ East Marion. tn examin-
ing the application~ the map and legal descripticn furnished it was
found that there was no proof furnished of the legal right to
traverse this right-of-way°
After consulting with Town Attorney Tasker as to the proper
steps in this matter he advised that the Board of Appeals should
not schedule a hearing until they are in receipt of ~iss Caputo's
deed or photostatic copy of her deed establishing legal right to
traverse ~ right-of-way in question.
