Mr. Glander's hearing had been postponed fromseptember
24~ 1964, in view of the fact that he did not submit an
accurate plot plan with his application. Mr. Glander was
present at this hearing with th~ correct plot plan.
The Board and Mr. Glander discussed the layout of the
property. Mr. Glander agreed to amend his application by
eliminating the plot plan shown on the building permit and
replacing this with a survey of the property by Otto W~ Van
Tuyl & Son~ dated February 21, 1960.
THE CHAIRMAN: Anyone wish to speak againstthis application?
(There was no response.)
After investigation a nd ins~ction the Board finds that
John Glander wishes to attach the garage to the house, thus
leaving an insufficient side yard. The Board finds that
Mr. Glander has a unique hardship, in view of the fact that
he has a pie shaped lot. Mr. Glander can not build on either
side of the house. It is the opinion of the Board that this
variance will not change the character or'the neighborhood.
The Board finds that strict application of theOrdinance
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. Bergen~ it was
RESOLVED thatJohn G. Glander~ Grathwohl Roads New Suffolk~
New York~ be granted permission to attach the garage to the house
with insufficient sideyard, on property located east side
Grathwohl Road, New Suffolk~ New York.

it would spoil the interior of the house by blocking a window.

Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Hyatt stated that the garage could not
be located on the other side of the house because that was
considered the applicant's front yard.)

the line?
