THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present whowishes to speak in favor of this application? DANIEL SMITH'~ Southold: I represent the owners. The idea of building out like this on an angle is to keep from covering the kitchen window. THE CHAIRMAN: Is this going to have a cellar under the building? DANIEL SMITH: There is a cellar under part of the house. L(TheChairman explained to Mr. Smith the reason a special exception was needed to build an addition to the existing dwelling on this~lot.) THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak against this application2 {There was no response.) After investigation and inspection the Board finds that Daniel Smith a/c Thomas Pepp request permission to build an addition to the existing dwelling with insufficient front yard setback. The Beard finds that this addition will be 29 feet from the road on Soundview Avenue. The Board feels that this is a reasonable request and the reduction in the setback will not cause a traffic problem at the intersection of Seundview Avenue and Kenney~s Road. The Board also finds that the addition will be 56 feet from Kenney~s Road. TheBoard finds that the public convenience and welfare and justice will be served and the legally established or permitted use of neighborhood property and adjoining use districts will not be permanently or substantially injured and the spirit of the Ordinance will be observed.

THE CHAIRMAN: Is there 9nyone present who wishes to speak in favor of this application~ ~R. PERRY HATCH, Representative of Long Island Lighting Company: Gentlemen and Chairman of the Board~ I represent the Long Island Lighting Company. The reason we would like to install this sign is for idenification. We spent approximately one million and one-hal~ dollars on this installation which is 500 feet back from the road. We are proud of it and we would like ver~ ~much to have this sign for idenification and advertising purposes so that the residents and citizens are aware of this installat-ion, We also have a conforming sig~.~. A 6~ x 8® ground sign at the entrance of the driveway. This sign will say "LILCO SERVICE". It is the type of sign we are trying to install in most of our installations on Long Island. Southold Town B~rd of Appe~ls --4- December 35~1964 THE CHAIRMAN: Is some of this property that the Long Island Lighting Company owns in a "B" Business District? PERRY HATCH: The first 200 feet of the property is business~ the rest is in an "A" District. We are hopeful that this sign will make the plant more attractive. That is our reason for asking for the special exception. THE CHA~: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak against this application? CThere was no response.) THE CHAIRMAN: Are there any questions? ARNOLD LARSEN~ Peconic: Just speaking as a resident, in connection with the installation, I think that the sign will be an improvementon the property. They have done a beautiful job on the property. THE CHAIRMAN: Are there any other questions? (There was no response.) After investigation and inspection the Board finds that Long Island Lighting Company wishes to place a sign on a cylindrical tank at their generating station in Arshamomaque. This sign will read "LILCO SERV~E"~ and will be four feet high and sixteen feet long. This sign will be for indenification and advertising purposes. The Board is of the opinion that this sign will be an improvement on the property. It should also be pointed out that this zs the type of sign that Long Island Lighting Company wishes to use on all of its generating stations. The Board finds that the public convenience and welfare and justice will be served and the legally established or permitted use of neighborhood property and adjoining use districts will not be permanently'or substantially injured and the spirit of the Ordinance will be observed. Southold Town Board of App=als -5- December 3~-~1964 On motion by Mr. Gillispie, seconded by Mr. Hulse, it was RESOLVED Long IslandLighting Company, 1650 Islip Avenue~ Brentwood~ New Yorkt be granted permission to erect a sign 44 high by 16' long on a cylindrical tank at their generati~ station located north side Main Road~ Arshamomaque, New York° Vote of the Board: Ayes: Mro Gillispie~ Mr. Bergen, Mr. Doyen~ and Mr, Hulseo PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal No. 728 - 8:00 P.M.~.S.'T.), Upon application of'Christian Simonsen Estate~ Oak and BirchAvenue~ Southold, New York, for a variance in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance, Article III, Section 303~ and Article X~ Section 1000A, for permission to divide and sell lots with insufficient frontage. Location of property: west side BirchAvenue~ east side oak Avenue~ Goose Bay Estates~ Lots No. southwest one-half of 228~229,230~ and south west one half of 251,252,253~ Southold, New York~ Fee paid $5.00. 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 in favor of ~his application? ARNOLD LARSEN: I represent the applicant. The reason for this application is the applicant would like to make additional income and have access to the Main Road. He could have an additional income from this property. THE CHAIRMAN: Which road do you refer to as the main road? ARNOLD LARSEN: Oak Avenue. ERNEST CHRISTENSEN~ Goose Bay Estates: Is lot number 254 included in this application? AR/~OLD LARSEN: Yes~ it is included. ERNEST CP~ISTENSEN: So that there is a split in the property. ~ Southold Town Board of App~ls -6- December 3,~1964 ARNOLD~ARSEN: There is no split in the property. CThere was some d~screpancy in regaled to the size of the lots in question. The board viewed the tax map. These lots seem to be 10' or 20' on the road, and they all have numbers. It was determined that the applicant has 3½ lots on Oak Avenue and the total frontage is 60 feet.) ARNOLD LARSEN: Where the existing house is now, we are not concerned with. He wants to put another house on the back of this property. It would be the same size. This property is on a definite road on a filed map. If these people have the same size lot, without the back, why can't this man divide the property and put this house bach here for income purposes. If he can't he doesn't want to buy the property. THE CHAIRMAN: He wants to rent the house? ARNOTJD LARSEN: Yes, for income purposes. There is other property that has the same area as this. Why should this man not be allowed to build? This is a separate piece of property and is taxed. THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone else who wishes to speak in favor of this application? (There was no response.) THE CHAIRMAN: is the~e anyone present who wishes to speak against this application? FRANK HUNDLEY: I am a property owner of Goose Bay Estates, a Real Estate Broker fDr MIL-I~ATTAgency in Mattituck, and secretary-treasurer of Goose Bay'Civic Association. I would like to give you a little back ground if I may. This originated in 1934, starting out as a summer colony, and on this map there are some 300 lots varying from 20 feet by 122 feet deep and 140 feet deep that split the property up in some pieces. THE CHAIRMAN: The map was made part of the Ordinance, dated 1948. Southold Town Board of Appeals --7- December 3~- 1964 HOWARD TERRY: Goose Bay Estates is not part of the Ordinance. Goose Neck was made part fof the Ordinance. FRAN~ HUNDLEY: The original map was in 1934. In this development there is Cedar Avenue~ all of these other roads~ even if we wanted to give to the Town are too narrow. We have no specifications. At the present moment there are 50 property owners on the tax roll. The Goose Bay Estates Association was established in 1948. It was established by the property owners to maintain the value of their investment and up hold the character of the community. Since that time they have maintained the roads, maintained the beach, and dug the channel. These people have spent up to $20.00 in addition to paying taxes each year. Of the 50 property owners, 31 are good standing members of the Civic Association. THE CHAIRMAN: What do you mean by good standing members ? FRANK PIUND?~Y: They are active members paying dues. There are 47 houses in this area on this map. Twenty-two of these houses developed by the owners continue as year around houses, so that this is no longer a summer cottage colon~{~~ Matter of fact, if it is anything~ it is a year around colony. I have here a map~ta copy of the map that you are looking at. Most of the lines have been eliminated so that you can see what the situation is in reference to the location of property and location of houses. (Mr. Hundley presented the Board with a map.) THE CHAIRMAN: Is this a tracing of the Town Map? FRASE<HUNDLEY: That shows the location of the houses. It also shows the houses that are year around. I think by looking at that map~ you willsee that the piece of land in question is one of the smallest in the community~ and if it is divided, it will become even smaller. THE CHAIRMAN: Do you mean the frontage or the total area is smaller than the rest of the property on this map? FRANK HUSE)LEY: The total area. Southold Town Board of App%~ls -8- December 3~-~1964 MR. DOYEN: Is the frontage and the total area smaller than the average lot? FRANK ~LEY: If you take the figures 60* x 240', it gives you an area of 14,400 square feet. The present zoning ordinance requires 12,500 square feet. If this lot is divided in two, it will be 7,200 square feet. THE CHAIRMAN: This map of Goose Bay Estates is not part of the Zoning Ordinance, but it is a filed map. FRANK HUNDLEY: We feel that this situation is not unique to this lot. The lot ne~t to it has the same problem and the lot next to that has the same problem. THE CHAIRMAN: W~aat would be the difference between this lot and the lot here on the water? ~ointed to the map) FRANK HUNDLEY: To split property up in these small pieces goes against the Zoning Ordinance, especially in view of the problem we are having with water and cesspool disposal. It seems request can be made to this Board to split up lots and make them smaller. We are very much against this. If you agree to it, than we would have no reason not to do it. If you were to grant this here on this property, we would have no agrument anywhere else. You would very easily d~uble the number of houses that can be pug in on the empty lots. We do not think this is your intentions. I would like to say further that we have to maintain these private roads and there is no compulsion on any person to maintain tke roads. This Birch Road is a narrow track. This road Hickory didn't exist. We have recently paved this piece at our own expense. -we feel that it w~uld be best not to grant this variance. We believe it is m~ch better as a group. We do not believe it is necessary to divide this property in order to get a valuable return. It is possible to sell it as it iSo THE CHAIRMAN: You are probably familiar with the fact tt~t it is necessary to prove unusual difficulty, unique hardship, and not change the character of the district. I think your remarks have been s~ressed to the first two proposals. I don~t think that here the character for the neighborhood would be changed. Southold Town Board of Ap~-~als -9- December 3;~'/ 1964 THE'CPL~IRMAN: Would someone else wish to ~ress the Board against this application2 HAROLD Lj SMITH: I own property on Oak~Aven~e~ not far from the property in question. I understand it is necessary for the applicant to meet three requirements. I think Mr. Hundley did pointout in some respect the granting of this-application would alter character. If this variance is 9ranted~ it would establish precedence for other lots of smaller or larger size. I expect to make my home here. TRE CHAIRMAN: What is the size of your lot? MR. SMITH: It is SOs by 140~. I have four of the 20' lots. There are several people who have made their homes in this community. They startedout with summer cottages and improved them for the characterof the community, greatly improving it for several years. To put alot of smaller houses on the property would certainly depreciate the area. MR. HUNDLEY: I would like to mention the great strain on our water supply. We all know that the water level has gone down. We are now afraid of the salt water and cesspools coming into the wells. I would like to point out since the principal -reason for the request is for reduction in property, the variance does not show hardship. If he can'~t get this variance, he isn't going to make as much as he would if he is granted this variance. THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone else who wishes to speak against this application? MR. WT~ANN: Goose Bay Estates:, Ail of our reasons for being against this have been given. ~(Mr.~ Wiemann also went into the problem of the water supply in Southold Town. ) MR.' ~HULSE: Where is your lot and how large is it? MR. NT~.~3~NN: It is on the corner of Oak and Pine Streets. It is 90 feet by 120 feet. There was some discussion about the decrease in water supply. Mr. Wiemann also brought out the problem of detergents seeping into the ground and contaminating the water. Southold Town Board of App~ls -10- Dec~mber 3 ~i1964 THECHAIRMA~: Does anyone else wish to speakagainst this application? JOSEPH DROOGAN~ ~Goose Bay Estates: I have six lots in back of my property and I don't intend to build on them, I have had them for almost 30 years now, and you will never see a house back there. We bought his property with the aim of protecting our water supply. T~ECHAIRMAN: That is admirable of you, however, some day you may be faced with the problem of disposing of this lot. You see, you are a long time resident and you have kept that lot free and clear. What happens when your administratorcomes along and does not have the same opinion or same feelings as you do. ARNOLD LARSEN: This particular gentlemen spoke of buying a lot and holding onto it to protect his investment. Real estate is for sale. Mr. Wiemann is concerned with the water supply. He moved from a 17 acre place down to a lot 90' by 140z, so he should have thought of that. He can't be too worried about the water problem. I don't know if that is a true map you have there. We have a tax map and we have a drawing. TME CHAIRMAN: The tax map can often be wrong. ARNOI.D LARSEN: I think that the house that we are going to build will be just as good if not better than the houses that are there now. This man is going to improve the property. ~The small house is run down, and I have a buyer to fix that %house and build another house on the back. I think he has a right to have income property. THE CHAIRMAN: When you get into twD houses on a piece of property you get into a situation so~t of like a cottage colony° FRANK HUNDLEY: May I remind the Board that we have presented a case where this should not be granted because it does not show that the property is exceptional or unique. I believe that we have shown that there is not an absolute necessity to divide this piece of land in order to get a suitable return. I believe that we have shown that granting this variance will lead to other variances which will very definitely change ~nd alter the character of the area. Southold Town Board or'Apples -11- December 3¥~'1964 GOTTLIEB NICKLES, Real Estate broker, Southold: I made an appraisal from the survey from Otto Van Tuyl. I am in the Real Estate business and we had a bid on this property. HAROLD SMITH: I think Lthat we have shown that he can make more money with this variance and that is why he is requestin~ it. ARNOT.D LARSEN: It is on a filed map and there is a definite line provided at the property. Not everyone is going to hold their property for ever and not build on it. You are allowed to build if they are separate lots and this is on a road. This is an asset and will increase the ~value of the property. THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone else who would like to speak one way or the other in connection with this application? (There was no response.) T~r~. CHAIRMAN: I will reserve decision on this application in order that the Board may look at a survey of this property. On motion by Mr. Gillispie, seconded by Mr. Hulse,it was RESOLVED that the minutes of the Southold Town Board of Appeals dated November 5,1964, be approved as submitted.

Upon application of James P~ Manning, 1 Chase Manhatta~ Plaza, New York, New York, a/cRace Point Corp.~ Fishers Island, New York, for a variance in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance, Article III, Sections 303, 304, and 307, and Article X~ Section 1000A, for permission to set off lot with existing building with insufficient setback and sideyard. Location of property: west side Winthrop Drive, Fishers Island, New York, bounded north by Govern~ant property, east byWinthrop Drive, south by Government property, west by'Silver Eel Cove. Fee paid $5.00. The Chairman opened the hearing byreading application for a variances legal notice of hearing, affidavit attesting to its publication in the official newspaper, and notice to the applicant. THE CHA/_RMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak in favor of this application? James P. Manning, Esq., was present at the hearing but had no~hing further to add to the application. THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak against this application? i(There was no response.) After investigation and insppction the Board finds that the appticantwishes to set off a lot with an existing dwelling. The Board is in agreement with the applicant. It will be a unique hardship to deny the sale of this property for residential purposes. It will tend to up grade the use of the property, formally used as a pump house. There is no wayeconomically to adhere to the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The structure on the lot is brick, and is not readily moved. There is no possible way to enlarge the lot. Accordingly, it is the opinion of the Board that this will not change the character of the neighborhood. The building in question has not been in ~se for approximately 10 years. The purchaser wishes to improve the property. Southold Town Board of Appeals -15- December 5, 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 by Mr. Gillispie, seconded by Mr. Hulse, it was RESOLVED that James P.
