property?
MR. MILOWEKI: Yes°
After investigation and inspection the Board finds that the
access road to the property of the applicant is in passable condition
for emergency vehicles~ and would not present difficulties in case
of an emergency.
The Board finds that strict application of the Ordinance will
produce practic&l 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 will
not change the character of the ~istrict.

Southold Town Board of Appeals -4- April 16, 1964
PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal No. 645 - 8:00 P.M. (EoSoTo), upon
application of Ann DeMaria, 5 Weldon Road, Commack, New York, for
recognition of access in accordance with State of New York Town
Law~ Section 280A. Location of property: private road known as
Park Place, east side South Harbor Road, Southold, New York, bounded
north by M. Crane, east by E.H. Ford, south by L. Ford~ west by
Park District. Fee paid $5.00°
The Chairman opened the hearing by reading application for
recognition of access, legal notice of hearing, affadavit attesting
to its publication in the official newspaper~ and notice to the
applicant.
CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone ~resent who wishes to speak in favor
of this application?
(There was no response.)
CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak against
this application?
(There was no response.)
The Chairman read a letter from the Chief of Southold Fire
Department, which reads as follows:
Dear Fir. Gillispie: I inspected this right-of-way
known as Park Place and find it very hazardous~ there
are several trees I fear we may strike entering~ particularly
at night.
I recommend slightly widening and scraping road level
before I would approve it.
Incidentally at the alarm of fire we attempt to go
anywhere and usually do. Very truly yours, Adolph G.
Westerlund, Chief Engineer.
Mr. Terry, Esq., representing Ann DeMaria, then appeared at the
hearing. The Chairman again read the letter f~om the Fire Chief
to Mr. Terry. Mr. Terry said he would see someone in the area and
try to make some arrangement for making the access in better condition.
After investigation and inspection the Board finds the access
is very hazardous by having several trees with limbs that stick out,
also the road is unlevel. A fireman ccould very easily be hurt while
trying to enter the access at night. However, clearing and leveling
the road, and trimming some larger branches from the trees would make
the access passable for emergency equipment.
Southold Town Board of Appeals -5- April 16~ 1964
The Board finds that strict application of the Ordinance will
produce practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship; the hardship
created is unique and would not be' shared by all properties alike in

not change the character of the district.

area in the back yard~ due to the fact the house is located on
the waterfront. The Board also finds the lot is over-sized.
The Board finds that strict application of the Ordinance will
produce practical 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

Southold Town Board of Appeals -7- April 16, 1964
CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak in favor
of this application?
MRS° BROWN: I do.
CHAIRMAN: I think its explained ~very clearly in the application~
you don~t need to say anymore.
Is there anyone present who wishes to speak against this
application?
(There was no response.)
The Board discussed with Mrs. Brown the property surrounding
Mrs. Lyons property.
After investigation and inspection the Board finds that the
property has insufficient frontage. However, the lots in this
area are irregular, some have more frontage on the water than
they have on the road. The Board agrees with the reasoning of
the applicant for applying for the variance.
The Board finds that strict application of the Ordinance will
produce practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship; the hardship
created is unique and would not be shared by all properties alike
in the same use district; and the variance does observe the spirit
of the Ordinance and will not change the character of the district.
On motion by Mr. Gillispie, seconded by Mr. Hulse~ it was
RESOLVED that Edna Brown, East Marion, New York~ a/c Helen~tH.

(Route 25)~ Greenport~ (Arshamomaque)~ New York~ bounded north by
Stepnoski~ east by So Ciacia Estates~ south by Main Road~ west by
Drossos and Rempeo Fee paid $5°00°
There were three representatives from the Long Island Lighting
Company present at the hearing: Mro William Burns~ Mr~ Davi~ Song~
and ~o Perry Hatch.
The Board and the repzesentatives from the Long Island Lighting
Company first discussed the type of generator to be erected° Mr.
Song showed pictures of another plant just like the one to be erected
in ~Greenport~ and the Board discussed it briefly.
The Chairman read application for a special exception~ legal
notice of hearing~ affadavit attesting to its publication in the
official newspaper~ and notice to the applicant°
CHAIRMAN: All of the Board has seen the site where the
generator is to be erected~ east of the Drossos Motel and very close
to Chapel Lane.
The Board established that the area is under contract~ subject
tothe Long Island Lighting Company obtaining permission to erect
the generator°
CHAIRMAN: How much land does Manor'Acres own?
MR. SONG: Almost six acres°
~. HULSE: So you will have a little under six acres?
MR. SONG: Yes.
The Chairman read the legal description of the property in
question°
CHAIRMAN: Part of this land is swamp, isn't it?
MR. SONG: It appears that way~ yes.
Mro Song presented to the Board an air photograph of the
property showing the proposed location of the generator° The
Board discussed it briefly.
CHAIRMAN: One of the things that concerns us here is the
Southold Town Board of Appeals -10- April 16~ 1964
possibility of fumes°
MR. SONG: In the application there is the approval from the
State Department of Air Polutiono The State has also approved
the Southampton operation.
The representatives had numerous maps which the Board viewed
and discussed.
CHAIRMAN: We are also concerned about the noise that will be
coming from this generator~
MR. BURNS: We expect this unit to be better than Southampton°
The sound would not be lOUdo
Mr. Burns then went into further detail and explained the
technical points involved in the sound from the generator° He used
a photo to explain the intake of the generator and how the noise
would be kept lOWo The estimated sound volume in decibels is
considerably lower than other permitted uses°
CHAIRMAN: Will there be anything around the generator to protect
it~ and protect people from going near it?
MR. BURNS: There will be a 7 ft. high fence surrounding the
generator.
CHAIRMAN: How frequent would you be checking this generator?
MR. BURNS: We have someone stop once a week and check it~ and
it is completely'overhauled once a month.
CHAIRMAN: How many hours would this generator be running?
MR. BURNS: It would be running 300 to 400 hours a year.
The Board had a discussion with the representatives on the
advantages of having this protective generator'in this area.
CHAIRMAN: What is the area of protection covered by this
generator?
MR. BURNS: It will cover from the proposed location to Riverhead~
and from the proposed location to Orient.
CHAIRMAN: What hazards would be presented by this installation
generator?
MR. BURNS: I can think of no .hazards in connection with the
generator. It will be surrounded by a 7 fto high fence as was
mentioned before° Also the 127~000 gallon oil storage tank will
be surrounded by a protective trench.
Southold Town Board of Appeals -11- April 16~ 1964
MR. HOWARD TERRY: Who would have a key to this area?
MR. BURNS: There would be a key at the substation.
MR. HULSE: How would the grounds be kept up around the place?
MR. BURNS: We don~t expect frankly to do anything with the
property except putting in the generator° However~ we do expect-to
plant trees to protect the generator from the road.
It was established the oil supply represented a ten (10) day
storage based on a 24 hour day. However~ actual operation will
proSably be 300 to 400 hours a year°
Mr. Song made the foll~ing statement to the Board:
The Town Board of the Town of Southold recently
enacted an amendment to the Building Zone Ordinance~ which
now authorizes the Zoning Board of Appeals to grant a
special exception to permit a Public Utility use in an area
zoned "A" Residential. The amendment appears now in
Subsection 6a of Section 300 of Article III~ of the
Ordinance° It is pursuant to this Subsection 6a that
this application is made tonight°
The property which is the subject of this application
consists of approximately 6 acres and is located 500 feet
east of Chapel Lane~ on the north side of Main Road° The
Company has contracted to purchase this property from the
Manor Grove Corporation, subject to obtainSng approval of
the Town authorities for construction and installation of
an electric power generating facility°
Because of the great distance between the eastern
end of Long Island and the nearest steam generating plant in
Port Jefferson~ the electric transmission lines that supply
power to the North and South Forks of Long Island are
extremely vulnerable to damage and service interruptions
during periods of snow and ice storms and hurricane winds°
Between 1950 and 1962~. there have been 12 cases of prolonged
outages of~one hour or more affecting the Greenport area.
The total experienced service interruption time to our
customers in this area resulting from these outages was
approximately 50 hours. On March 20~ 1958~ a severe ice
storm caused numerous transmission line outages on the
North Fork resulting in a 20 hour power failure to the
Greenport area°
In 1962~ Long Island Lighting Company instituted a
study to determine the best possible way to improve
continuity of service to our customers on eastern Long
Island° Costt efficiency~ and feasibility considerations
showed that the answer was to install small electric
Southold Town Board of Appeal~ -12- April 16~ 1964
generators for area protection at various stra%egic
locations on our system.
As can be seen in Exhibit~"C'' (Map of Long Island)~
Greenport is well located for this purpose~ situated as
it is midway on the North Fork° In the event of an emer-
gency power failure west of Greenport between Riverhead
and Greenport~ or a failure east of Greenport~ a small
generating unit will provide continuous emergency power
until the line failure is corrected.
The particular property site in question was chosen
by the Company as the site of the generating unit, because
of its close proximity to the Company's existing substation
located west of Chapel Lane in Greenport.
It is estimated that the total cost of the project will
be approximately $1~.500~000o00
Construction is scheduled to begin in June of this
year and the estimated completion date is in August~ 19644
The installation itself will consist of a gas turbine
and generator, air intake structure~switchgear and a small
separate utility building for storage° In addition, an oil
tankg 30 feet in diameter and 24 feet high will store fu~t
to operate the generator° The unit is designed to produce an
summer-winter average output of 15~000 kilowatts°
The installation's fence will be set back 450 feet
from Main Road° The Structures will be ~ack a few feet
further from the fence.
Since this generator is designed to operate auto-
matically or on electric impulse from Hicksville~. and
no service employees are needed at the site, there will
be minimal increase of automobile traffic in the area.
Of course~ the unit~will be serviced periodically by
employees and oil deliveries~ but anyrt~affic resulting
will be negligible.
The surrounding and adjoining area is zoned
Residence with the exception of a 200 foot strip of
Business Zoning along Main Road on properties adjoining
to the east~ west and south.
On the basis of the papers submitted in support of
this application~ it is respectfully requested that the
Long Island Lighting Company be granted a special exception
pursuant to Article III~ Section 300~ Subsection 6a of the
Southold Town Board Of Appeal s -13- April 16~ 1964
Building Zone Ordinance, to permit the construction~
operation and maintenance of a generating facility on
the property described therein°
The Chairman read the affadavit attesting to Mr. Burns'
qualifications on the technical points of the generator° He also
stated that he felt the Board had expert opinion°
MR. HULSE: The road coming out of the plant, will that be
clear so that there will be no problem of the trucks getting in
and out?
MR. BURNS: yes.
Mr, Burns showed on the map to the Board the sufficient area
for trucks to pass in and out°
CHAIRMAN: The location of this substation is approximatel~
800 feet to the nearest building, Drossos Motel~ it is 1~700 feet
approximately to the Sound Shore Motel~ it is 800 feet approximately
to the westerly boundry of the beginning area of the actual trees~
it is approximately 600 feet to the nearest building across the
Main Road to the South°
Is there anything further for or against this application?
(There was no response°)
After investigation and inspection the Board finds that all
hazards that were in question have been elimated. The Board finds
there are no dangers of air polution~ the generator will not be
extremely noisy, and there will be a 7 foot high fence around the
generator to protect people from going near it~
The Board finds that the public convenience and welfare and jus-
tice will be served and the legally established or permitted use of
the neighborhood property and adjoining use districts will not be
permanently or substantially injured and the spirit of the Ordinance
will be observed.
On motion by'Mr. Gillispie~ seconded by Mr. Bergen,it was
RESOLVED that Long Island Lighting'Company~ 175 E. Old Country
Road~ Hicksville~ New York~ be granted permission to install an
area protection generator on property of Long Island LightingCompany:
north west side of Main Road~ (Route 25) ~ Greenport~ (Arshamomaque)~

CHAIRMAN: Mro King~ as you have a "Bowl" sign facing the
road~ do you think you need this sign here in the middle of the
field?
MR. KING: Yes° Isn't there a telephone building going in
this area in the near future?
The Board~ Mr. Terry~ and Mr. King discussed the telephone
building that is proposed to go in the area in question and
how this building would effect the present "Bowl" sign Mr° King
now has on the Bowling Alley°
CHA~: Are there any other questions?
(There was no response.)
After investigation and inspection the Board finds that
due to the fact a telephone building might be placed in this area~
Mr~ King's Bowling Alley would not be~ as easy to spo~inwhen traveling
east on %he Main Road~ the telephone structure would block the
view of the Bowling Alley°
The Board finds that the public convenience and welfare and
