Southold Town Board of Appeals -2- March 16, 1967 The Chairman read the following from the minutes of the Southold Town Board of A~eals dated February 16~ 1967: "TlqE CHAIRMAN: We will take the sign at Main Road and Boisseau Avenue first. We looked at it and it appears to us the sign should be moved back North from the highway. Should be moved at least six feet from its present location, and should be at least five feet above ground level to provide visibility. You can't see past it. It is a traffic hazard were ~ is. The sign should also be reduced in size to four feet-by six feet. "Now the sign at'Chapel Lane does block vision there two ways. You can't see under it and you can't see past it. It is too close to the Main Road, It should be moved back at least 12 feet North from the Main Road and should be at least five feet from Chapel Lane. As this sign is double face it should be at an angle that is no larger than the narrowest dimension of the sign. In view of the fact there are two businesses advertised on this sign the maximum dim- ension of the sign shall be six feet by eight feet. There shall be five ~eet from the bottom of the sign. "Now the sign atthe traffic circle. I think we should postpone this decision on this sign. It would be easier to talk to the applicant than try to explain it in an action.." THE CHAIRMAN: There are at the present time several signs at the traffic circle. What we had in mind, you have a substantial structure there. It occured to us that since this structure is in good repair maybe you would like to congpine with someone else. It would have to be reduced in size, rather than our saying take it down. MR. T.E~IN: Sound View Restaurant and Sound Shore Motel are on that sign now. THE CHAIRMAN: You are limited to four'feet by six feet to advertise. MR. LEVIN: I would rather include other advertisers on it. Southold Town Board of Appeals -3- March 16,~ 1967 MR. HULSE: We were thinking of SterLing Harbor Marina. MR. LEVIN: I would rather give/t to ~~:,someone else going west. I saw a very nice sign with many'advertisers on it. We could take that sign and divide it into four corners. THE CHAIRMAN: You would need four'by six feetby'Sound View Restaurant and four by six feet for Sound Shore Motel. And'you could put somebody else on there. Somebody going East like Chappy~s Restaurant. You and Mr. Jurzenia have worked on this type of thing before. MR. LEVIN: I don't mind a~vertising with other people. I would like to change that sign on Boisseau Avenue so that .we could both advertise on it. THE CHAIRMAN: You did have an eight foot by six foo% sign there. It would have to be setback. It has to be five feet up and six feet back from where it is now. The other one, Chapel Lane and Main Road has also got_to be moved. MR. LEVIN: If we move that it has no value. There are trees there. THE CHAIRMAN: Well, you will have to chop the trees down because it is a traffic hazard. It has to'be reduced in size. I think it is eight feetby twelve feet now? MR. LEVIN: It will become strictly directional then. THE CHAIRMAN: It has to be directional. The one at the Greenport~TrafficCircle, we would like to see you combine on that. MR.' LEVIN: This would have to be laid out on paper first. THE CHAIRMAN: We are trying to come to a solution for that traffic circle. We are trying to come up with an intelligent solution there. Somebody came up with the idea that was a good looking, strong s~ructure, as it is, so we postponed this until tonight. Obviously we can't-controll what is on the sign. They would have to come to use to get permission to locate a sign there~ Until it fills up we would deny separate signs. Southold Town Board of APpeals -4- March 16, 1967 MR. LEV/lq: Then each tenant wc~d have to go through Straussner. Where there is room for six signs, these other four will have to make arrangements through you. THE CHAIRMAN: We would have approval as to whether its located on you~billboard, you have approval as to whether it is located on this structure. (Possible signs that would be located on this billboard structure were briefly discussed.) THE CHAIRMAN: How about Sterling Harbor Marina? MR. RUSS~T.?. MUFF, i(Sterling Har~brMarina): Two points I would ]~e to bring up. I went through this in the Town of Islip. I have a little over eight years of. sign design business. Personally, I am in favor of getting signs down there. I tell you the pitfall. We had this dun in Islip, and we got together,~ and got all our heads together. You have got to get them all down or none down. THE CHAIRMAN: This is the only place we have tried to combine a number of signs. MR. MUFF: You have to go into very tastefuli design and landscapeing. We were down to twelve inches by eight inches ~lats. They were uniform. THE CHAIRMAN: The Ordinance prohibits billboard~. It prohibits the type of sign we are granting now. We stuck our necks out and said this type of sign is essential~ We had to broaden it to include churches. And Marinas and places of amusement were also included. Would you be willing~ put your 'sign on Mr~ Levin's billboard? MR. MUFF: Not on a four by six basis. It would have to be purely directional. T~E CHAIRMAN: It would have to be directional anyway. (A discmssion was held on the layout of the billboard and the type of signs on the billboard. Mr. Muff agreed that he would place the sign for Sterling Harbor'Marina on the billboard owned by Mr. Levin.) THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak against this application? (There was no response.)

The directional sign located on the north side Main Road, Greenport, must be reduced in size to four feet by six feet for both Sound Shore ~otel and Sound View Restaurant. Permission is granted to keep the present structure on which the sign appears, reducing the size as stated. Permission is also granted for additional sign~ on this structure.,, advertising the types of business which this Board permits, providing the size of the sign so advertising is held to four feet by six feet.

The Board finds that the public convenience and welfare and justice will be served and the legally established or permitted use of neighborhoodproperty and adjoining use districts will not'be permanently or substantially injured and the'spirit of the Ordinance will be observed.

What is the size of these two signs? MR. J~URZTRSI~: They comply with the previous ordinance. They all have been approved at a prior time. THE CPL~IRMAN: Some of the signs are being reduced.

Southold Town Board of Appeals -21- March 16, 1967 THE CHAIRMAN: I guess the same thing applies to sign number three. These will all have to be changed when~they put in the new Zoning Ordinance. MR. JURZENIA: We have no objection to complying with the Ordinance as long as everyone else does. THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak against this application? (There was no response.) After investigation and inspection the Board finds that the applicaht requests permission to retain three off premises directional signs and two on premises directional signs. For the three off premises signs each property owner has given a letter of permission for the location of a sign on their property. The signs in question are directional signs to a motel business owned and operated by the applicant. It is the opinion of the Board these signs are in the interest of the travelling public. 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.
