PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal No. 2980. Upon application of

NY 06390 for a Variance to the Zoning Ordinance, Article III,
Section 100-32 for permission to construct detached two-car
garage in the sideyard area. Location of Property: Southwest

and Montauk Avenue; east by Kernan and Montauk Avenue; south
and west by Kernan (and Alpine Avenue); County Tax Map Parcel
No. 1000-10-8-13.
The Chairman opened the hearing at 7:34 p.m. and read the
legal notice of hearing in its entirety and appeal application.
MR. CHAIRMAN: We have a copy of a sketch indicating the
existing house and decks and the proposed two-car garage which
appears to be approximately 20' by 30'. We also have a copy of
the Suffolk County Tax Map indicating this property and all the
surrounding properties in the area. Is there anybody that would
like to speak in behalf of this application? Anyone against?
Any questions or comments from any board members? (None)
MEMBER DOYEN: I would like to make the motion granting this
Southold Town Board of ~peals -2- May 26, 19~z Regular Meeting
(Appeal No. 2980 - Robert E. and Eileen G. Wall, continued:)
MEMBER DOYEN continued: application as applied for. By way of explan-
ation if you wish -- that's absolutely correct, what he said. This
entire plot of land drops off so severely, that is the only location
where he could place the garage.
MEMBER GRIGONIS: I'll second the motion.
The board made the following findings and determination concerning
the application of Robert E. and Eileen G. Wall in Appeal No. 2980
for permission to construct detached two-car garage in the sideyard
area upon premises located at the southwest side of Montauk Avenue,
Fishers Island, NY:
By this appeal, appellants seek permission to locate an acces-
sory 20' by 30' two-car garage in the sideyard area with a setback
distance of five feet from the side property line and located
partly in the frontyard area as indicated on the map submitted
with the appeal application. The board agrees with the reasoning
of appellants, and the proposed location does appear to be the
most feasible and practical~ under the circumstances herein.
In considering this appeal, the board determines that the
variance request is not substantial in relation to the code
requirements; that the circumstances herein are unique; that
by allowing the variance no substantial detriment to adjoining
properties would be created; that the difficulty cannot be
obviated by a method, feasible to appellant, other than a
variance; that no adverse effects will be produced on avail-
able governmental facilities of any increased population; that
the relief requested will be in harmony with and promote the
general purposes of zoning; and that the interests of justice
will be served by allowing the variance as applied for.
On motion by Mr. Doyen, seconded by Mr. Grigonis, it was
RESOLVED, that Appeal No. 2980, application of Robert E.
and Eileen G. Wall for permission to construct accessory garage
structure in the side and front yard area be and hereby IS
APPROVED AS APPLIED FOR. '"'
Location of Property: Southwest side of Montauk Avenue,
Fishers Island; bounded north by Strunk and Montauk Avenue;
east by Kernan and Montauk Avenue; south and west by Kernan and
Alpine Avenue. County Tax Map Parcel No. 1000-10-8-13.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Goehringer, Doyen, Grig-
onis, Douglass and Sawicki. This resolution was unanimously
adopted.
Southold Town Board of appeals -3-
May 26,-1982 Regular Meeting
PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal No. 2978. Upon application of ROBERT W.
GILLISPIE~ JR., 15345 Main Road, East Marion, NY for a Variance to
the Zoning Ordinance, Article III, Section 100-35 for permission to
increase fenced area around frontyard pool to a height exceeding the
maximum-permitted four feet. Location of Property: 15345 Main Road,
East Marion; bounded north by L.I. Sound; east by Swick & Woglom;
south by Main Road; west by Gillispie; County Tax Map Parcel No.
1000-23-1-5.
The Chairman opened the hearing at 7:37 p.m. and read the
legal notice of hearing in its entirety and appeal application.
MR. CHAIRMAN: We have a copy of a sketch indicating the enclo-
sure and increased size that Mr. Gillispie is asking for in this
application. We also have a copy of the Suffolk County Tax Map
which shows this property and includes all the surrounding proper-
ties in the area. Mr. Gillispie, would you like to say something
in behalf of this application?
MR. ROBERT W. GILLISPIE, JR.: Nothing that isn't in the
application, sir. I'm surprised that you're not in the other room.
What happened? How long has this been going on?
MR. CHAIRMAN: Tomorrow there is a temik meeting, and we had
tried to flip-flop some of the meeting dates in the months of
March and April, approximately four to five meetings -- almost to
this particular meeting, which were on Friday nights to see if that
would help at all.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Is there anybody else that would like to speak
in behalf of the application? Is there anybody wishing to speak
against the application? Any comments from any board members?
MEMBER DOUGLASS: I'll make a motion that this be approved as
asked for.
MEMBERS DOYEN AND GRIGONIS: Second.
Southold Town Board of Appeals -4- MaM 26, 1982 Regular Mtg.
(Appeal No. 2978 - Robert W. Gillispie, Jr., continued:)
The board made the following findings and determination:
By this appeal, appellant seeks permission to extend the
five-foot high fencing 12' by 32' around the existing pool
which is located in the frontyard area. The proposed fence
extension will leave a 300' setback from the Main Road and
is practical and reasonable under the circumstances.
The parcel in question has erected thereon a two-story
frame dwelling and an small accessory structure in the rear-
yard area. The distance from the existing dwelling to the
westerly neighbor's dwelling is approximately 200 feet and
the nearest building to the east is an accessory garage at
approximately 66 feet.
In considering this appeal, the board determines that the
variance request is not substantial in relation to the code
requirements; that the circumstances herein are unique; that
by allowing the variance no substantial detriment to adjoining
properties would be created; that the difficulty cannot be
obviated by a method, feasible to appellant, other than a
variance; that no adverse effects will be produced on avail-
able governmental facilities of any increased population; that
the relief requested will be in harmony with and promote the
general purposes of zoning; and that the interests of justice
will be served by allowing the variance as applied for.
On motion by Mr. Douglass, seconded by Messrs. Doyen and
Grigonis, it was
RESOLVED, that Appeal No. 2978, application of Robert W.
Gillispie, Jr. for permission to increase fenced area around
frontyard pool be and hereby IS GRANTED AS APPLIED FOR.
Location of Property: 15345 Main Road, East Marion, NY;
bounded north by L.I. Sound; east by Swick & Woglom; south by
Main Road; west by Gillispie; County Tax Map Parcel No. 1000-
23-1-5.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Goehringer, Grigonis,
Doyen, Douglass and Sawicki.
This resolution was unanimously adopted.
