Southold Town Board of Appeals -2- March 19~ 1964
The Chairman opened the hearing by reading application
for a variance~ legal notice of hearings affidavit attesting
to its publication in the official newspaper and notice to
the applicant.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to
speak for this application?
LEFFERTS P. EDSON, ESQ., Southold: I speak for the
applicant. I don't think there is anything further to say
except to state that the two lots each had their vested
rights before purchase and were merged after their purchase.
They were both purchased at different times~ I don't believe
the 50 ft. lots are inconsistent with the neighborhood. I
don~t know why this map was not included in the Ordinance
under the section where all filed maps were to maintain
their rights°
THE CHAIRMAN: Some of the developers in the old sub-
standard developments came in to the planning Board and in
many cases the lots were enlarged and when they could not be
they were given an opportunity to file for variances or
special exceptions° However~ a request of this type originated
with the developer and in your case the developer may not have
made such a request.
THE CHAIRMAN: ts there anyone present who wishes to
speak against this application?
FLR~ ROKOS, Bay Shore Road~ Greenport: I speak for
Gladys Csajko, my daughter~ and next door neighbor to Liggis.
I would like to say you should co~sider the area. Haynes
next to Rosati to the south is 150 ft., Rosati is 100 fto,
Schaef is 100 ft.~ then the. lots become smaller~ I am talking
about the waterfrontageo On theother side to the north
~Cs~ko is 50 ft.~ Rokos 60 ft.~. Blitz 110 ft.~, Yantos 50 ft.~
Pelletari 50 ft., Hahn 100 fto~ then another 100 ft. lot
and Pagan is 100 ft.
(The Chairman read a letter of opposition from Gladys
Csa3ko.)
THE CHAI~: Mr. Rokos~ you are not in favor of
dividing the property?
Southold Town Board of Appeals -3- March 19, 1964
MR. ROKOS: Nos I don't think so~ not at the present
time° Years ago I might have but not now. I don't think
it will be of any help to the neighborhood°
THE CHAIRMAN: However~ there is evidence that a
start was madeD When this garage was constructed a well
point was put in, a pressure tank and a cesspool. That
would certainly establish a substantial start°
THE CHAIRMAN: Are there any other questions or anything
for or against this application?
(There was no response. )
After investigation and inspection the Board finds that
the applicant owns a parcel of land with 100 ft. frontage.
This property was purchased in two separate lots with 50 ft.
frontage at different times. (lots 66 and 67., map of Peconic
Bay Estates). There is a one family residence on the southerly
Lot 67 and a garage with attached residence on the northerly
Lot 66. In October 1963 the applicant added a boat house to
the existing garage on the northerly lot 66 and after completing
it~ decided to convert it into a one family dwelling. A
variance was sought and denied by the Board of Appeals on the
grounds that the applicant wished~two dwellings on one lot~
further the garage in the front yard area is considered non-
conforming and the expansion of such a non-conforming use
exceeding 5~ fair value of the original structure requires
a special exception°
The applicant now seeks permissiDn to divide this 100 ft.
parcel into two lots with 50 ft. front'ages and reduced area
and maintain a one family residence on each lot.
The Board is of the opinion this would be a satisfactory
division of the property since the eas~ side of Bay Shore
Road is built up and consists predominately of 50 ft. to
60 ft. lots with single residences° However, the Board only
grants permission for this division on the condition that the
residence attached to the boat house on the northerly lot 66
be detached and moved to a position no closer to the front
property line than the existing one family dwelling on the
southerly lot 67. Further this dwelling must be centrally
located on the lot so that ~ide yard variations will not be
required.
Southold Town Board of Appeals -4- March 19~ 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 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 district.
On motion of Mro Grigonis, seconded by Mr. Hulseg it was
RESOLVED that Thomas Liggio~ 46 Somerset Drlve~ Great
Neck~. New York, be granted permission to divide his property
(Lots 66 and 67~ Map of Peconic Bay Estates)~ located on the
east side of Bay Shore Road~ Greenport~ New York,. into two
separate lots each having 50 ft. frontage and reduced area.
It is a condition of the granting of this variance that
the residence attached to the garage on the northerly lot be
detached and moved to a position no closer to the front
property line than the existing one~ family dwelling on the
southerly lot. Further~ this dwelling must be centrally
located on the lot so that side yard variations will not be
required.
vote of the Board: Ayes:- Mr. Gillispie~ Mr.
Mr. Doyena and Mro Hulse.

attesting to its publication in the official newspaper and
notice to the applicant°
Southold Tean Board of Appeals -5- March 19~ 196~
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to
speak for this application?
MR. G. NICHOLS, Dickinson Real Estate: I request that
the application be granted.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to
speak against this application?
(There was no response.)
(The condition of the road was discussed with Mr.
Nichols.
After investigation and inspection the Board finds
that the access road to the property of the applicant is in
passable condition for emergency vehicles up to the applicant's
lot only. Beyond this point the road is in very poor and
nearly impassable condition° The applicant's l~t is the last
building lot on the improved section of this right-of-way.
Both sides of the right-of-way up to the applicant's lot is
developed in residences.
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 district; and the variance does observe the
spirit of the Ordinance and will not change the character of
the district°
On motion of Mro Grigonis~ seconded by Mr. Hulse~,~it was
RESOLVED that William &'Doris Zeh, 8226 168 Street,~
Jamaica, New York~ be granted recognition of access to their
lot located at the far southerly end of a private right,of-
way running in a general southerly.direction from the easterly
side of North Bayview Road~ immediately south of the Goose Bay
bridge~ Southold~ New York.
Vote of the Board: Ayes:- Mr. Gillispie¢, Mr° Grigonis¢~
Mr. Doyen¢ and Mr. Hulseo

PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal NOo 635 - 8:00 P.M. (E. SoT.)~
upon application of Helen Henkel: Mayf~i~'L~ne~ Grenwichz
Connecticut~ for a variance in accordance with the Zoning
Ordinancez Article III~.Section 300~ Subsection 7~ for
permission to erect an accessory building~ in the front yard
areas 37 ft. from the front property line~ Location of
property: north side private road known as Clay Point Road~

The Chairman opened the hearing by reading application
for a variance~ legal notice of hearing, affidavit attesting
to its publication in the official newspaper and notice to
the applicant.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to
speak for this application?
MR. SERGE DOYEN, JR., Fishers Island: The application
is very accurate. Fishers Island Estates has no objection to
the new building°
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to
speak against this application?
(There was no response.)
Afterinvestigation and inspection by our Fis~ersIsland
member the Board finds that the applicant is the owner of a
2.97 acre parcel of land on a private road known as Clay
Point Road, Fishers Island, New York, On this parcel the
applicant presently has a one family dwelling 7'5 ft. from
the front property line, centrally located from the side
lines~ and an accessory cottage used as sleeping quarters
~nd carport on the easterly side 0f the property in the front
yard area~ 37 feet from the property line on the front and
128 feet from the easterly property line. The applicant now
wishes to erect a second accessory building to be used as a
bedroom, laundry, and carport in the front yard area, 37
feet from the front property line and 145 feet from the westerly
side line. The rear of the property is on Fishers Island Sound
and slopes to the beach making it impractical to erect the new
accessory building in the rear yard area°
Southold Town Board of Appeals -7- March 19~ 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 the immediate vicinity
of th~ 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 district.
On motion of Mr. Doyen, seconded by Mr. Grigonis~ it ~as
RESOLVED that Helen S. Henkel~ Clay Point Road~ Fishers
Islands New ¥ork~ be granted permission to erect an accessory
building to be used as bedrooms~ laundry and carport in the
front yard area of her property, 37 feet from the front property

It is a condition of the granting of this variance that
there be no cooking facilities in this building.
Vote of the Board: Ayes:- Mr. Gitlispie~ Mr. Gr~g~nis~
Mr. Doyen, and Mr. Hulse.

The Chairman opened the hearing by reading application
for a special exception~ legal noticeof hearing, affidavit
attesting to its publication in the official newspaper and
notice to the applicant.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to
speak for this application?
Southold Town Board of Appeals -8- March 19~ 1964
FiRo HAROLD FEINBERG: We have the main building
with a little shed 15 ft. wide on the back° We now want
to make the shed part a little longer and attach it to
a 30 ft. addition to the main building. The shed part
is where the farm trucks come in from the back and unload.
This is an expansion of the present use and it is essential
to wash potatoes today before you can se~l them.
TP~ CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to
speak against this application?
(There was no response.)
After investigation and inspection the Board finds
that the applicant has a non-conforming potato grading
and packing station and wishes to structurally alter this
building by adding thereto a potato washing plant.
The Board agrees with the applicant:s reasoning
that they are one of the essential outlets for the Town's
agricultural products and the proposed facilities and
space are greatly needed.
The Board finds that the public convenience and
welfare and justice will be served and the legally estab-
lished or permitted use of neighborhood property and
adjoining use districts will not be permanently or sub-
stantially injured and the spirit of the Ordinance will
be observed°

THE CHAIRMAN: You want to store vegetables for people?
MR. RAYMOND: I would operate it for myself and anyone
who wants to put anything in ito Mr. Ed King owns this

(There was no response°)
Southold Town Board of Appeals -10- March 193 1964
After investigation and inspection the Board finds
that the applicant wishes to reactivate a non-conforming
cold storage unit located on the property of Edwin King~
private roads south side Main Road~ Orient~ New York. This
cold storage unit has not been in use for about four ~earso
In the opinion of the Board the reactivation of this
use would not harm the character of the area inasmuch as the
use of this property had been established° Further~ on the
opposite side of the Main Road there is a non-conforming
gasoline station and public garage~ to the north there is
a used car lot and directly west there is a building formerly
used as a fertilizer warehouse and now being used as a repair
shop for heavy contracting equipment. The applicant intends
no alterations to the grounds or building°
The Board finds that the public convenience and
welfare and justice will be served and the legally estab-
lished or permitted use of neighborhood property and
ad3oining use districts will not be permanently er sub-
stantially injured and the spirit of the Ordinance will be
observed.
On motion of Mr. Grigonis~ seconded by Mr. Doyen,
it was
RESOLVED that Lewis Eo Raymond be granted permission
to reactivate a non-conforming cold storage unit on the
property of Eo Ho King~ which has been discontinued for
over two years. This unit is located on a private roads
south side of Main Road~ Orient, New York°

Zoning Ordinance~ Article III~ Section 300~ Subsection 7~
for permission to erect a detached garage less than three

west side Rogers Road, Southold, New York~ Lots 6 and 7~
Block 4, Bexiedon Estates, bounded north by Lot 5 - Lena
Roth, east by Rogers Roads south by Hippodrome Drive, and
westby Lots 8 & 9 - Edward Lo Graham and Lena Roth. Fee
paid $5.00°
The Chairman opened the hearing by reading application
for a var±ance, legal notice of hearing~ affidavit attest-
ing to its publication in the official newspaper and not~ce
to the applicant.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to
speak for this application?
MR. JOHN HAPONIC: I am the builder and I am speaking
in favor'on behalf of the applicant. Actually~l from what
I understand recently~ I don:t think they c~ have it because
of the deed restrictions. The developer is willing to have
garage erected where the present garage is.
MR. DOYEN: What is the objection to having 3 feet
from the line?
MR. HAPONIC: I guess they don~t want to waste the
land.
MR. DOYEN: well~ there is a practical side of this°
These buildings must be worked on at some time or another.
They neighbors may object to their working on th~ r property
if the garage were directly on the lineo
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to
speak against this application?
(There was no response°)
{The Chairman read a letter from Grace R. Lewis~
developer of the area where the lot is located~ stating
that she objects to the granting of the variance and
calling the Board's attention to the covenants and
restrictions imposed upon real property situated in the
area known as Beixedon Estates, which restrictions provide
that except for existing foundations no building shall be
erected or permitted within ten feet from any boundary line.)
Southold Town Board of Appeals -12- March 19, 1964
THE CHAIRMAN: This Board does not have the time
to investigate deed restrictions. We are concerned with
Zoning° We would not want to grant this application under
three feet from the side or rear property line in this
case°
MR. HAPONIC: Could I put it on the present foundation?
THE CHAIRMAN: I don~t think that will be permitted°
Since you are tearing down the entire building and wish to
rebuild it you must locate it in the proper position on
the lot.
After investigation and inspection the Board finds
that the applicant presently has a private one car garage
on his corner lot on Hippodrome Drive and Rogers Road~
Beixedon Estatesz Southold. This garage is located directly
on the northwesterly property lines without any side or
rear yard allowance. The applicant now wishes to demolish
the present garage and build it in exactly the same location
with additional space added thereto.
The Board feels that it would not add to the character
of the neighborhood to have a garage erected directly on
the property lines° Further, for practical reasons this
would definitelybe unwise since the garage must be main-
tained by paintings etc.~ and the applicant would have to
encroach on the property of his neighbors to the west and
to the north to repair his garage.
The Board finds that strict application of the
Ordinance will not produce practical difficulties or
unnecessary hardship; the hardship created is not unique
and would be shared by all properties alike in the
immediate vicinity of th~s prope~rty and in the same use
n ~
district; and the variance doe~bserve the spirit-of
the Ordinance and ~itkwitl change the character of the district.
On motion of Mr. Gillispie, seconded by Mr. Hulse~
it was
RESOLVED that the application or-John Buckley for a
variance to erect a detached garage less than 3 feet from
$outhold Town Board of Appeals -13- March 19~ 1964
the side or rear line be Denied° This garage must be
located at least 3 feet from the westerly and northerly
lines and a survey showing the exact property lines and
location of the proposed garage must be secured and sub-
mitted to the Building Inspector before construction is
commenced.
Vote of the Board: Ayes:- Mr. Gillispie, Mr.
Grigonis, Mr. Hulse~ and Mr. Doyen°
On motion of Mr. Gillispie, seconded by Mr. Grigonist
it was
RESOLVED that the minutes of the Southold Town Board
of Appeals dated March 9~ 1964 be approved as submitted.

PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal No. 639 - 9:30 P.M. (E.S.T.)~
upon application of A. B. Rosenberg, Rocky Point Road, East
Marion~ New York~ for a special exception in accordance with
the Zoning Ordinancet Article III~ Section 300~ Subsection
3A~ for permission to expand and improve a private marina°
Location of property: southwest corner of'Champlin Place
and Robinson Roads Greenport~ New York~ bounded north by
Champlin Place~ east by Robinson Road, south by Helen Lyon
and west by Sterling Creek. Fee paid $5.00.
The Chairman opened the hearing by reading application
for a special exception~ legal notice of hearing~ affidavit
attesting to its publication in the official newspaper and
notice to the applicant°
THE CHAIRMAN: There is a drawing in the fi~e that
indicates that in Sterling Creek they intend to dredge an
area 80 ft. in depth from ~he ordinary high water mark parallel
to Champlin Place a distance of 145 feet° The dredging
will be on a line 30 ft. parallel to Robinson Road and then
a diagonal line leading to Sterling Creek.
Southold Town Board of Appeals -14- March 19, 1964
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes
to speak in favor of this application?
FiR. JOHN APPELT, Orient: Inasmuch as it has been
dredged by the County dredge and the lots that are there
are smaller and are bound to wash away.~ he feels he could
improve the property by increasing the waterway. The
area of the lots are too small to build on. They are only
75 fto along Robinson Road. He is planning to increase
the area of the existing water and clean it Upo He
stopped dredging when he found there was objection to it.
The west part of the land comes under then on-conforming
section of the Ordinance: This area being dredged is
within the pier and harbor line so it does not come under
the jurisdiction of the Federal government° This land
has not been changed since any Zoning laws have been in
effect, although~ it might have been changed from the
original purchase° Nothing has been done in there
except'by the County°
(Mro Jay Deale~ a property owner on Robinson Road
presented a copy of the deed restrictions to the Chairman.)
MRS. TRUMAN COOK: Mr. Rosenberg stated when he
bought the property he intended to possibly build homes
and add to the area.
MR. DAVID BRUCKHEIMER, Robinson Road, Greenport:
I am new in the area on Robinson Road. When we bought
the property we went into a lot of haggling over the
restrictions and I was assured that everything was taken
care of and the Zoning laws covered and the Zoning laws
were much more stringent than the deed restrictions.
They started digging on Saturday and the digging was
stopped on Monday. It looked like it was being done
quickly before anyone could do anything. Then came
the notice in the paper to enlarge the marina~ There
was a lot of traffic up and down this creek last summer~
according to the definition of a private marina they all
must have been friends of Mr. Rosenbergo
THE CHAI~NLAN: Mr. Rosenberg cculd construct a marina
for his own use. He could do that for his own boats and
boats of his friends° Marinas are an essential part of
the type of living in this area and the greatest asset
to the waterfront. Marinas in residential areas are for
Southold Town Board of Appeals -15- March 19, 1964
the residents in the general area but not party fishing
boats and commercial fishing boats~
MR. BRUCKHEIMER: How commercial will this become?
~E CHAIRMAN: We cannot forsee this° In a thing
like this the local residents tend to enforce it.
MR. APPELT: One thin'9 I am almost positive oft as
far as gas docks and fishing boats or party boats coming
in there, Iknowthat will not be done. There will never
be any gas or gas docks. I question if there will even
be any other docks there in the forseeable future.
MR. RICMARD POWE?~,~ Robinson ~oad~ Greenport: We
are not here in reference to building docks as much as
his digging into the property.
MR. APPELT: As far as digging into the propertyt the
question is whether it is better to have land there or
water there.
THE CHAIRMAN: Ail Mro Rosenberg does now is
permit the mooring of boats?
MR. APPELT: YES. There is no sale of gas or anything
else, there is not even a building on the property° In
my point of view this will increase rather than decrease
the value of the property of the people in the-area.
MRS. BRUCKHEIMER: I don't understand how this
residential marina benefits the people in the area.
THE CHAIRMAN: It benefits you if you wish to use
the marina and Mro Rosenberg permits you to leave your
boat in his marina.
MRS. RICHARD POWET,T~: Where will the people put
their cars for using this marina?
THE CHAIRMAN: He is apparently leaving the 30 ft.
on Robinson Road so that you could drive off the street
MR. POWELL: Aren't our deed restrictions valid?
Southold Town Board of Appeals

March 19, 1964
TPIECHAIRMAN: We are only concerned with the
interpretation of the Zoning Ordinance.
MR. BRUCKHEIMER: In relation to the character of
the area~ if it continue~ as~in the past it will be un-
desirable°
MR. APPELT: He just wishes to make more room to
operate what there is now° Ail he is requesting is
permission to dredge the area out. There is no question
of his decreasing the land area, ~e is.
MR. CLARENCE POWELL; Robinson Road, Greenport:
Mro Muir put this into one of the first marinas in
Sterling Creek. Mr. Rosenberg purchased the property
from Mr. Muir° Suffolk County dredged this area. If
permission is granted to do this you will ta~away two
good lots.
MR. APPELT: The deep water dredged will be lost to
some extent if he is not permitted to do this dredging°
MR. DEALE: The State has evidenced some interest
that with dredging going on there has been an increase
in chlorides in the water° The saltcontent has increased
already in East Marion where there has been dredging.
MRS. BRUCKHEIMER: We request that this he, denied.
We thought we would have waterfront lots with homes on
them rather than a dredged area with a parking lot where
the homes would be.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anything further?
(There was no response°)
After investigation and inspection the Board finds
that the applicant wishes to dredge an area 80 ft. in
depth parallel to Champlin Place and 145 ft. in width
parallel to Robinson Road~ Greenpokt~ on Sterling Creek.
The applicant states the purpose of this dredging is to
increase the turning area for boats in the creek in front
of his existing private marina.
Southold Town Board of Appeals -17- March 19, 1964
By dredging this 80 fto by 145 ft. area the applicant
would be decreasing two building lots to a 30 ft. strip
along Robinson Road° The Board finds that this proposal
would adversely affect the character of the neighborhood
in that the applicant proposes to use this 30 ft~ strip
as a parking lot for those people using the n~rina. This
would not be a reasonable use of the property and it would
definitely affect adjacent properties°
The Board finds that the public convenience and
welfare and justice will not be served and the legally
established or permitted use of neighborhood property
and adjoining use districts will be permanently or
substantially injured and the spirit of the Ordinance
would not be observed°
On motion of Mro Gillispie~ seconded by Mr. Hulse,
it was
RESOLVED that A. B. Rosenberg be denied permission
to expand and improve his private marina located on the
southwest corner of Champlin Place and Robinson Road,
~reenport, New York. This denial is w~thout prejudice
to any further proposal Mr° Rosenberg may have°
Vote of the Board: Ayes:- Mr. Gillispie~ Mr.
Grigonis, Mr. Doyen, and Mro Hulse.
The next meeting of the Southold Town Board~of
Appeals will be held 7:30 P.'M~ Thursday~ April 2~ 1964
at the Town Office, Main Road~.Southold~ New York°
