The Chairman opened the hearing by reading the application for vaiianoe and approval of accesss legal notice of hearings affidavit attesting to its publication in the offi~al newspapers and notice to the applioanto THE CHAIRMAN: The application is accompanied by a a~urvey, Is there anyone present whewishes to speak in favor of this application? RICHARD LARKs ESQ,} I am from William Wiokham~s office and represent the applicant, I understand an application was made in 1962 under Section 280A of the T°wn Laws and access was given to the owner of the property at that times to Julius Zebroski. It was for one lot and under the condition that'he would improve the right of way so that you could get in and out, I understand this has never been done. The applicant has decided to divide the lot in two and put'in an oil road and improve to a width of 10 feet, Sos number ones what ~he'building inspector req,,{red in 1962 could be completed now, This is the main reason it was den~ed by the building inspectors the access had never complied with the variances Southold Town Board ~f Appeals -2- September 5s 1968 THB CHAIRMAN: Who owns the right ~f wa~? LARK: Julius Zebroski. CHAIRMAN= Has it ever been improved to 25 feet? HOWARD TEP/~Y. Building ~sp~ctor~ They started itt but never finished it. THE CHAIRMAN: Now you have a new owner ? MR. LARK: Yes. I understand the property has changed hands many times. The application is by the present owner. They propose to diiide as shown on the survey by Van Tuyl. THE CHAIRMAN: ~ach ~f the new lots will have adequate square footage. MR. L~K: Yess they will have the acreage. THB CHAIRMAN: ~ne is 12~575 square feets the other is 12s570 square feets one of which will he 66 1/2 feet facing the d~edged canal. The new o~ners have this right ~f way in their deed~ We hesitate to give aocess over property that isntt ~:~. L,ARK~ The deed does give right of way and describes the right of way as you see ~ on the survey. ~4~, LARK: It is overgrown now. MR. BgRG/~N: Who w~11 ~_~i?_ta~n it in the~u ture? MR. LARK: It will he up to the land owner. Be~ore he can put anythin~ ins he will oil it. I have a copy of the contract which describes the right of way. (presented copy of contract to the Board for their i~formation). As I said it has changed hands many t~s. TH~ CHaPMAN: Are there ~ny other qUesti~? (There was no response.) Tiffs CHAIRMAN:Anyone else wish to speak in fa,vt of this application? (There was no response,) THB CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak against this application? MR. JO~N KLANS: I will speak against it. I live on K~ause Road Mattituok. Be~ore I askany questions concerning thiss has it been established this isthe true figures of the lines that will be established? TH~ CHAIRMAN: The proposed dividing line is from the survey made in 1968 by Vail Tuyls showing the proposed division of these lots. He is not asking for division of lots. 5outhold Town Board ~Appeals -3- Oeptember 5s 1968 HR. I{LAG~S; He is asking for the division ~f one of the ~wo lots. is that correct? TH~ CHA~ MAN: He is as~i-9 for the division of this pei~e of property here. The To~m zoning ordinance requires 100 feet frontage on a highway or approved access. The prescribed area is 12s500 square feets this works out to 100 feet by 125 feet. (The Chairman ~howed · he sruvey of the property in questi~s showing the proposed dividing line of the property. ) HR. KLAG~S: This 86 feet does not comply with regulations as they now stand. CHAIRMAN.. He has more than enough area. HR. KLANS: Now in regard to the Board of Health Requir~nts and so on. Is this taken into consideration whether a building constructed on this ~oad would be able to comply with the Board of Health. The point I am trying to bring outs based on the lot size ap~l the fact that the house would co,form to other homes on the road.can it comply with the Board of Health or willthere he a violation? TH~ CHAIRMAN= We are not allowed to established a -i-lmum amount for a dwelling. We can specify the di.~nsions of the lots and side yards and so forth. We require at least 850 squa~e feet for a dwelling. HR. ~LAGE$: That is ~ne of the points made on the application. That the bdilding constructed would be of the s~ character of those in the area. T~ ~HAIRHAN: One of the points made is the properties to the north and east of these lo~s are moderate sized parcels and m~derate sized reside~es~ It is believed that the parcel could be better utilized in two lots with privileges for each lot on the d~eged canal. The lo~aii~ does not warrant a large residence for t/a, whole lot and a amall residence on the single parcel would be out of character. HR, I~..AG~.S; It seems to me like double talk, TH~ CHAIRMAN= We can not say what size ~he house must HR. H~: It has to he 850 square feet. HR. KLA~S~ TO divide into two parcels it was denied to the applicant. It is~ident that he does not comply with ~---ethiag. TH~ CHAIRMAN: There is no access to the property. ~. ~RG~N: He was ~nied a building permi~ until he could obtain ~. STANLEY STARON~ Wasn't that access always there? MR. ~RG~N: It has never been approved or improved. HR, STAR,N: He could still sell it as one lot. ~. HULSB: He woul~ still have to come to use for approval MR. STARON: He could sell it without cominD here. T~B CHAIRMAN: This has never come up before because no one ever asked for a building permit. MR. STARON: Does the Suffolk County Department of ~ealth have a minimum lo4 size that they recommend? THE CHAIR~E~N: In developments they dos They require 2Os000 square feet.. The Town ~dinance has never been.changed. It has always been 12~$00 square feet. ~. STAR(~: The 20~000 square feet is only the recommendation of the Suffolk County Board of Health? MR. ~RG~N: In developments it has to be 20~000 square feet. ~o LARK= The applicant is here and he could speak for himself. He has spoken with the Board of Health. As long as he has the 100 feet distanoe or more~ they wet,ntt interested~ wet,ntt ooncerned with the square footage unless it was four or more lots then they would be interested. THE CHAIRMAN: Four or more lots would be a subdivision. They would test the area before granting permission. We are not cunoerened with that. LARK= I know~ I just brought it up. MRS, MILLS= Before approval is givens does the health department check to see where the other wells and cesspools are. I have had three wells in seven years because of detergents and salt water seeping into the well. We are interested in where their cesspool and well will be. ~. KL~G~S: Would have to be placed next to the right of way. It has to have a n~um of 75 feet depth into the lot plus I think you need 100feet more Erom the cesspool. T~B CHARIMAN: I can't ass~tm~ to speak for the Board of Health. Before they permit the location of a water point they would want to know the locatiun~f other cesspools in the area. MR. KLAGES~ I beleive it is a 100 foot radius. HOWARD TBRRY~ You have to submit an application showin~ all other wells and cesspools before they will even consider the application. TF~CHAIRMAN= I think that theydomake some test. It may well be we grant ac,ess to this property and he can't use it because of Board of Health requirements. That isn't within our oontroll. Would that no be a health m~tter? Tf~ CI~IRMAN: What? kS. MIL~S: More cesspools, THE C~i~MAN: The Board of HeAth kmmws how may ~hey could put in, As far as our decision ~ re. we are concerned with the use ~f the land and z~ning matters. What you are talking about is a Board ~f Health matter. kS. MILLS: Before the right ~f way is grante~.' and the property split~ does the Board ~f Health have anything to saF about it. THE C~AIRMAN: No, just as we have nothing to say about the location of well points, HAROLD WILSE~RG: Once the property is divided the Board of Health has no alternative. The channel backs up into this property. We have ~hanged 10 wells for different individuals. We cantor get any de, peEt'then 10-12 feet just because we cantt 9et any water. You ca~tt go 40 feet because you 9et salt water. The Board of Health requires 15 feet from the line with the pools and 15 feet w~th the well. THB CHAIRMAN: You could 9et that ~ this property Not ~without polluting the creek. THE CHAIRMAN: Did you say Mr, Gzaeb is here? MR. GRAEB: As long as I comply with the Town Board ~he Board of Health is not interested unless I was to divide in~o f~ lots. and they did say that 100 feet is the requirement. MR. STARON: Does the 9entlem~n have this in writing? THBCHAIRMAN: It sounds like what they say. I don't think it matters if this property is divided or not. There.is some question if you could get the well and cesspool on. YOU could get the cesspool but maybe not water. MR. WILSMERG: The Board of Health requires 40 feet. You 9et salt water here. THE cHAIRMAN: I don't know where you can §et 40 feet of fresh water. MR, WILS~RG: Any place that you get hack from the bay you can get 40 feet of fresh water. THE CHAIRMAN: I know, In orient there are places you can 9o down three feet to fresh.water. N~. WILm~RG: You are still suppo~to try to get it. If you can't, you.have to sign an affidavit. MR. GRABB: The middle line is 135 feet in depth. There is an extra 25 feet on the right of way that adds additional distance from the cesspool and wellpoint. I thi~k that the 100 feet can he made, Southold Town Board of Appeals -6- September 5s 1968 ~o KLAG~S: There are cesspools on this right of way. How much traffic can it tak~ going back and forth over this. MR. B~RG~N: How much traffic can ~here be from two cars? THB CHAIRMAN: The person owning the right of way wou~d maintain it. This would be to your advantage not disadvantage. WARREN ULMBT: I own the property to the southv bordering this particular piece. I am speaking on behalff of m~self amd 43 other residents in the a~aa. I bought this property severl years TH~ CHAIRMAN: You are up on Cl, Jule Lane. The property to the south here is m~ked..,, MR, ULM~T: That is wrong, I bought that property to enlarge the property that.was too small. We.are decreasing sizes instead of increasing it. It just doesn't seem the right thing to do. I have a house that I built m~self. It cost approximately 35 thousand dollars. I thi~nk to fence it in by houses on small lots would he detrimental to my property and to this other lot immediately to the south. TH~ CHAIRMAN: You don't own this property and can't dictate what someone.else can put on it, You made the statement how much you spent on you house and feel that you are being fenced in because someone would build on two adjoining lots. That might happen anywhere where people own lots. What we are trying to consider is giving access to it. Your opinion as to whether it is detrimental to your property is not relevant to this hearing. ~. UL~T: We on the petition strongly suggest that it be denied. I would challenge the correctness of the square footage to begin with of the individual lots after it is divided into two. THE CHAIRMAN: I am sure that you know these things are not a popularity, contest. MR. ~T: I am e~ressin9 the opinion of the neighborhood. T~B C~AI~AN: Without giving any pertinent reasons. ~, ULMBT: Because of Health and welfare. MR. HULSB: Yom say that you question the square footage of these lots. Do you have anything to shrew that this is incorrect? ~o ULMEI: I, have only my slide-rule. THB CHAIRMAN: Are you a licensed engineer? THB CHAIRMAN: Are you a licensed surveyor? MR. ULM~T: NO. Southold Town Board ~Appeals -7- tember 5~ 1968 TH~ CHAIPd~AN: You qUestion the figures? MR, ULMET: Yes. MR, LARK: Ihese figures are by Van Tuyl who is a licensed surveyor and he did considerable work on it as you can see, THE CHAIRMAN: You are qUestioning the footage of the two lots after divided, You are not qUestioning the d/~aensions of this, MR, ~T: I didn't see the dimensions. I saw the tax map, THE CHAIRMAN: The tax map is highly incorrect, I get only 15 square feet less, You still question the square footage~ MR. ULMET: Yesssiro I don't mean to mnk~ it a big point, MR. GRAEB: If this had been less than the minimum requirementss I would not m~ke.thls application, I made this application after I had cousidered the requirements of the Town and the Board of Healths and that I would not be in violation of.the requirements, If it was i~l ¥iolation oi thc requ/rementss I would not 9o through with its and I would not have brought the application in, I too llve in ~lattituck, Some of these people are friends of mine, I live in Browers Woods. I would not like less than the minimum requirements in Browers Woods such as these people in Ole Jule Lane area, If that was the cases I would withdraw it, MRS. MILLS: Lawyer Wickhamfs representative said there are small lots all around there. That isn't true, Mine is 100 feet by 200 feet, MR. GRAEB: There are many small lots on Ole Jule Lane, MRS, DONALD JOHNSON: We just moved last November, The people that sold the property to use assured us that nobody could build on that swamp, MRS, MILLS: No nice home would be buill on this, THE CHAIRMAN: I think that we have explained that to you, If the Board agrees.we will postpone this for later, We will adjourn this hear~g until later this evening thatfs if no-one else wishes to beheard, MRS. MILLS: ~u said how much taaffic could two houses bring. ~Mr. Julius Zebroski owns that swamp pit out there, He intends to build houses out there, THE CHAIRMAN: He can't get in that way, MRS. MILLS: That is what he says. He owns the right of way all around the c~annel, TH~ CHAIRMAN: He owns tothe west? SoutholdTown Board 9Appeals -8- ~ptember 5, 1968 MR. MILLS= Yes,to the west all the way around. Once it is established there is no telling what will happen. THE CHAIRMAN: I donft think the Plannin9 Board would approve a road of that kind, MR. LIEBEKNECHT= What I want to say has nothing to do with this road, I am concerned about.the water situation. In Europe the laundry detergents have been outlawed. When I first came to Mattituck I was asked by m~ land lord to use soap and.not detergent. These woman should stop using detergents and use soap. THE CHAIRMAN= If there is nothing else to be said we will adjourn this hearing and m~ke our decision later this evening. Thank you all for coming. PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal No. 1200 - 7:45 P.M,(E,D.S.T,)~ Upon application Qf Albert and Thaine Gilli, Washington Avenue, ~reenport, New York, for a variance in accordance with theZonin9 Ordinance, Article III~ Section 303, Article X, Section 1000A~for permission ~ reduce frontage. Location of property: noxth side Washington Avenue, Greenport, New York. Fee paid $$.00. The Chairm~n read the legalnotice ~f hearing, application for a variance, affu~avit attesting to its publication in the ~fficial newspaper, and notice to the applicant. T~ CHAIRMAN= The appl~ation is accompanied by and Exhibit A. I will read exhibit A. '~eference is made to surveys of Lots 16 and 17, attached hereto as Exhibit "B", owned by Albert and Thaine Grilli~ and survey of Lot 18~ attached, hereto as Exhibit '~", owned by Charles Dimcn. All lots being part of Map of Washington.Heights, dated December 8~ 1927, and filed in Office of the Clerk ~f Suffolk County as Map No, 651, Charles Dimon bought house about twenty-one years ago, being lot No. 18. On said lot was the house, a garage on the northwest corner and a driveway from said garage to ~shington Avenue. Said lot is 50 feet front and re~. Albert and T~ne Grilli bought lots 16 and 17 in 1966 and built a house on same in1967. When said lots 16 and 17 wire surveyed, for the first time it was found that the above driveway on lot 18 encroached upon lot 17 for its entire distance about one to two feet, more or less. In the spirit of 9cod neighborliness, which must fit one of the high sounding phrases of the Preamble of the BuildingZone Ordinance of the Town of $outhold (maybes.the very much abused expression, fGeneral WelfareS), Mr. Grilli offered to sell his neighbor~ Mr. Dimon, a five foot strip off his easterly boundary. In that way the t~3 neighbors could gaze upon their estates and know the driveway was now where it should be, even though nothing was changed. A person in the neighborhood, gazing from his estate to the east, west, north and south~ could asoertaln no difference; Mr. Grilli~s house was where it always was, so was Mr. D~mon's, and so was the culprit driveway~ only that non- 'Southold Town Board }Appeals -9- Otember $~ 1968 visable property line had been changed so there was no evil encroachment. Everyone shook hands and thought how well they had handled the vexing matter o~ the encroaching driveway. This mood, however desirous~ was not to prev~l. If the two neighbors involved were happy~ if the adjoining neighbors were unable to ascertain any difference and therefore were assumed to be happy~ a black cloud began to appear upon the horizon. Bureauracy reared its ugly head. It seemed, though nothing had c hanged~ and even though the spirit ~f.the neighborliness prevailed~ that this happy solution violated the Building Zone Ordinanc$, Town ~f Southold, Suffolk County~ New York,.in which Town said premises were located. The Sections violated by this seemingly harmless solution to a vexing problem were set out in an ORDER TO REMEDY VIfLATION, dated August 7, 1968 and executed on behlaf af said Towa by.HOward Terry~ Building Inspector. The sections cited as violated were Art. III, Sec. 303 and Art, X, Leaving aside the question as to wheter ART. III, Sec. 303A, Size ef lot axea~ which provies fin the fA" Residential.and Agricultuxal District~ no build{n9 shall be erected or altered on a lot having an area ~f less than twelve thousand five hundred (12,$00) square feet and a frontage uf less than o~e hundred (100) feet~, has been viblated because the house was erected on lots 16 and 17 when the original deed showed 100 feet~ there does seem to be a violation ~f ART. X, Sec. IO00A, which provi~les: 'Ho lot shall be sold, divided, or set ~ff in such a manner that either the protion solds divided or set off, or the portion remaining shall have an area of less than that prescribed by this Ordinance for the district in which said lot is located.." Also left aside are the questions whether ART. X, Sec. IO00A is a legal exercise of the Town Board's authority and if it is constitutionals An application is made, therefoze~ for vaiiance to the Zoning Ordinance on the grounds stated on Form ZB1 herewith and in the name of common sense so that this neighborly solution to a vexing problem ma~ have ~fficial approval, thus satisfying the said preamble to the said Z(~ng Ordinance. THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak for this application~ IRVING L. PRI]g,3R., ESQ.: I represent the applicant. This situation is the same as a policeman stopping us on the road and saying we are 9oing 50.001 miles per house and say we are speeding. THE CHAIRMAN: It's the s~.~ when you build a house three feet to close to the road, itfs a violation. What do you do? Southold Town Board ~f Appeals -lO- September 5, 1968 ~. PRICE: What does a policeman do when they see someone going 55 miles pe: hour, CHAIRMAN: They give some lead way. PRICE: They use common sense, THB CHAIRMAN: You can understand under our building zone Ordinance that woulchl't be possible. ANy 0~e else for this application? (There was no response.} THBCHAIRMAN: I assume that thee, people did thiswithout knowing that they were in violation ~f the Ordinance. ~. PRICE~ They did it without knowing. TH~ CHAIRMAN: A co-~{tion should be put on this that no side yard variances will be granted in the future to lots 16 and 17. ~. PRICE~ That is acceptable. TH~ CHAI1F~: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak against this application? (There was no response. ) After investigation and inspection the Board finds ~hat the applicant has reduced the frontage ~f the property. This was done so that the neighbors Dimon, could have the existing driveway without it encroaching on the property af the applicant. The Board agrees with all the reasonin9 ~f the applicant as to the reasons for granting the application applied for, A condition ~f granting this variance is that no side yard variance may be considered on the property of the applicant, Grilli~ now or in the future. The Board finds that strict application af the Ordinance will prOdUCe prac~cal d/~fieulties or unnecessary hardship; the hardship created is unique and would not be shaxed by all properties alike in the {~mediate vicinity of this property and in the sa~e use district; and the variance does observe the spirit of the Oralnance and will not change the character of the districts motion by Mr. Gillispie~ seconded by Mr. Bergen, it was RBSOLVBD Albert and Thaine Grilli~ Washington Avenue, Greenport, New York, be granted permission to reduce frontage on property located north side Washington Avenue, Greenport~ New Yorks as applie for~ and subject to the above condition.
