County Tax Map Parcel No. 1000-31-8-1.1.

Southold Town Board of A~eals -2- Jun~ 3, 1982 Special Meeting
(Appeal No. 2960 - Gerasimos Fioravantes, continued:)
By this appeal, appellant seeks a use variance to change the
use of an accessory storage building to that of a guest house.
The premises are located on the south side of N.Y. Route 25 in
the hamlet of East Marion. It has a frontage on Route 25 of 154.80
feet and an area of 40,000 square feet. The premises are located in
the "A" Residential and Agricultural Zone District. The premises are
shown on the Suffolk County Tax Map as District 1000, Section 031,
Block 08, Lot 001.1.
There is located on the premises a two-story wood-frame private
dwelling containing four bedrooms, which appellant occupies with his
wife and three children. A two-story wood frame accessory storage
barn is located in the rearyard. Appellant, without a building per-
mit, has partially structurally altered this building. It would
appear from the testimony of neighbors and appellant's building per-
mit application that the accessory building is 24 feet by 19 feet
in size with a 20 ft. by 14 ft. garage attached to the east side
thereof. Appellant proposes to alter the accessory building to
provide for a living room, bedroom and full bath on each floor.
Access to the second floor is by an outside stairway. The second
floor will also have a 19 ft. by 8 ft. deck.
The change of use sought by the Appellant is not an accessory
use permitted in the "A" District by the Zoning Code (Section
100-30C). Additionally, the building exceeds the 18 ft. height
limitation specified in Section 100-32 of the Zoning Code.
Since Appellant requests a change of use to a use not per-
mitted by the Code, the variance is a use variance, which may only
be granted by this Board upon proof that: (1) that land in ques-
tion cannot yield a reasonable return if used only for a purpose
allowed in that zone; (2) that the plight of the owner is due to
unique circumstances and not the general conditions in the neigh-
borhood which may reflect the unreasonableness of the Zoning Code;
and (3) that the use to be authorized by the variance will not
alter the essential character of the locality.
Appellant has failed to demonstrate unnecessary hardship and,
accordingly,
On motion by Mr. Douglass, seconded by Mr. Sawicki, it was
RESOLVED, that the variance be and hereby is DENIED.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Goehringer, Grigonis,
Douglass and Sawicki. Absent was Mr. Doyen (Fishers Island).
