It is our view that the proposed project would have a n ~eE~tive impact on our property, the immediate co~,..anity and the town as a whole. Our home is occupied year round by our !~mily. Our quality of life here has to do with the view, the light, the lovely breezes that come off the creek and the privacy we have established. [:~l.h~rl~ what would be a larger house 20 feet fo~ard from its preexislin~ site would adversely affect all those qualities wa have enjoyed. I believe the truste~ have visited the site and are aware of how dose tol~her our two houses are and how delicate that balance is. We feel that this is also ma issue of quality of life for both the immediate co~anity and for the town as a whole. W~/mt is the po/ut, affe~ all, of having a setback rule if it can be broken by anyone who wants to. The purpose of having setbacks is, I would ~hink to preve~ just such an evmt from happening ~ rules w~re established to protect not just the mvit,.~m~nt of our shore line c~.~..anity but the character of Town itseff and the q~mlity of life nhared by every~me. What would we do if everyone, as a result of this. decided to get closer to the water and petionecl the town for variances? While we feel that the Hufe's have every right to improve the quality of their lives, we do not feel that they have the right to do so at any neighbor's expense, at the community's expeme or at the Town's expe~x~. We, therefore, do not recommend that the board approve the Hufe's plans as they have been presented. Sincerely, 3125 ge'ells Avenue $outhold, NY 11971 October 23, 2000 Board of Town Trustees Town of Southold 53095 Route 25 Southold, NY 11971 Dear Members of the Board of Trustees: I am writing ~m b~nlf of the Bums family induding my mother, Mary Irene Bums, owner of property at 3125 Wells Avenue adjacent to the property owned by Mr. And Mrs. Hufe who are seeking a variance to tear down a preexi.~'ing house and replace it with another closer to the water ~nd approximately 20 feet into the 100 lout setback from the water required by the Town of Southold. It is our view that the proposed project would have a negative impact on our property, the immediate 6t,,,:raunity and the town as a whole. Our home is occupied year round by our family. Our quality of life here has to do with the view, the light, the lovdy breezes that come off the creek, and the privacy we have established, lambing what would be a larger house 20 feet forward from its preexisting site would adversely affect all those qualitas we have enjoyed. I believe the trustees have visited the site and are aware of how close together our two houses are and how delicate that balance is. We feel that this is also an issue of quality of life for both the immediate community and for the town as a whole. What is the point, after all, of having a setback nile if it cma be brolom by anyone who wants to. The purpose of having setbacks is, I would think, to prevent just such an event from bapp~a~. These rules were established to protect not just the envhuument of our shore line o.m,~anity but the character of Town itself nnd the quality of life shared by everyone. What would we do if evel~one, as a result of this, decided to get doeer to the water and petiooed the towa for variances? While we feel that the Huite's have every right to improve the ~mllty of their lives, we do not feet that they have the fight to do so at any neighbor's expense, at the co~..~nky's expmse or at the Town's expense. We, therefore, do not recommend that the board approve the Hofe's plans as they have been presented. Sincerdy, Telephone (516) 765-18¢1~ Town Hall 53095 Main Road P.O. Box 1179 Southold.

This new location was chosen with respect to the letter of non-jurisdiction set backs as permitted by your letter of February 17, 2000. I apologize for the inconvenience of reviewing this application twice, and adding to your busy schedule. It was not understood that we would need to reapply for a change of location for a similar structure as was previously proposed. With the extent and cost of the previously proposed renovation, it became evident that the home could be better located to optimize their properly and views without encroaching your Wetlands jurisdiction. Please accept our request on the grounds of this earlier determination for a ruling of non-jurisdiction despite any changes you are presently facing in change of jurisdiction. It has taken several months to complete the redesign and we had no concept that the rules would be changing. The proposed site is 81.2'+ to the nearest point of the tie line and it is 10'+ further to mean high water. Thank you for your time and consideration of this matter. Sincerely,FeA~n~ Albert J.
