On motion by Mr. Bergen, seconded by Mr. Grigonis~ it was RESOLVED that'Morrison C.

PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal No. 918 - 7:40 P.M,'~.D.S.T.), Upon application of StanleyCorwin, Esq., Greenport, New York, a/c Elpineke Kralides, East Marion, New York, for a variance in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance, Article III, Section 303, for permission to construct a dwelling on a lot with insuffieient area. Location of property: north east corner or'Cedar Drive and Stars Road~ East Marion, New York~ bounded north byStamos~ east by_Frumenti, south by'Stars Road, westby Cedar Driv~ Fee paid $5.00. The Chairman opened the hearing by reading the application for a variance, legal notice of hearing~ affidavit attesting to its publication in the official newspaper~ and notice to the applicant. THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak in favor of this application? STANLEY'CORWIN,ESQ.: Mr. Chairman~ and Gentlemen of the Board~ my name is Stanley Corwin. I would like to appear on record in favor of this application and say to you that there is very'little I can add to what is on the application. Also I would like to say to you that Mr. Stamos is an artist that built his house on stilts just north of this property. He acquired the property to the north in 1954. That parcel was roughly 200 feet north and south and 122 feet east and west. For protection he subsequently Southold Town Board or'Appeals -4- July 28, 1966 brought this parcel that is 120 feet by 100 feet. There was no improvement made on ~uis property. On the other parcel he erectedbis residence. He s~ld the parcel north of this to a third party. He got itfrom Mrs. Edna Brown. Candidly he sold the parcel back as he got it, although it was lacking some 500 feet. I ask you act~favorably on this because it is on a corner. The building on the Stamos property to the north of this is sufficiently far enough from the n~therly line so there is no question about the distance between the two buildings. There will be no hardship as far as aceess is concerned. We don't doubt that Stamos created the hard~hip himself, but we plead on his ignorance and the fact that he sold the property as he bought it. THE CHA~: Is there anything else? (,There was no response.) MR. BERGEN: The fact that its a corner lot is one of the reasons we don't like to go along with it. You would have to maintain the 35 foot setback from each road. Therefore, you can't build the type of house you would like. STANLEY'CORWIN, ESQ.: We would like to point out to you this area is adjacent to Star's Subdivision where there are a ,number of summer homes, small one family dwellings, that are not all year around dwellings. MR. BERGEN: We can't do anything about the small dw~lings that are already there. We can prevent the construction of more small dwellings. STANL~Y~'CORWIN',ESQ.~: The reason for the minimum lot size is notconcerned with the size of the building. You have minimum front, side and rear yard area, but the Town has not adopted the State Building Code. If you require a certain number of'feet, we can comply with all the zoning regulations and build on this lot. Another reason for the minimum number of square footage is for access for fire fighting apparatus. There will be no problem with that here~ THE CHAIRMAN: Does Mr. Stamos still own this property? STANLEY'CORWtN, ESQ.: No, he sold it to a third party. THE CHAIRMAN: Actually, he was in viiation by selling this to the other people. Southold Town Board of Appeals -5- July 28, 1966 THE CHAIRMA~ There could be no side yard variances granted for this property. STANLEY'~C~RWIN,ESQ.-: We realize that. .THE CHAIRMAN: That is one of the conditions that we always r make~n undersized lot. STANLEY~CORWIN~ESQ.: That is a reasonable restriction and we dOn't have any objection to it. THE CHAIRMAN: Are there any other questions2 (There was no response.) 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 appellant-wishes to build on a lot with insufficient area. The lot in question has a total of 12,000 square feet of area~ which is 500 feet-less than required by the Southold Town Zoning Ordinate. ThePBoa~d finds that the property in question was sold to the appellant exactly as it was acquired by the seller. The area adjacent to the lot in question is built up with residence that all have sufficient side yard area. If a variance was no-granted for the use of this undersized lot, the propertywould be useless as a building lot. The~-erection of the proposed house on this lot will not change the character of the neighborhood in any way. The Board finds that strict application of-the Ordinance will produce practical difficulties or unnecessary-hardship; the hardship created is unique and would not be sharedby all properties alike in the immediate vicinityof this property and in the same use district; and the variance does observe ~=k~J~?~ the spirit of the Ordinance and will not change the character of the district. On motion'by Mr. Hulse~ seconded by Mr. Bergen, it-was RESOLVED that Stanley'Corwin~ Esq., Greenport, New York, a/c Elpineke Kralides, East Marion, New York, be granted permission to construct a dwelling on a lot with insufficient area. Location of property: north east corner Cedar Drive and Stars Road, East Marion, New York. This permission is subject to the following conditions: ~Southold Town Board of Appeals -6- July 28, 1966 1. There shall be no side yard variances granted for any house built on this lot. 2. There shall be no front yard variances granted for any house built on this lot. 3. There shall be no rear yard variances granted for any house built on t~is lot. Vote of the Board: Ayes:- Mr. Hulse, Mr. Bergen, Mr. Gr~onis.

(There was no response.) ~Southold Town Board of Appeals -7- July 28~ 1966 THE CHAIRMAN: Would any member of the Board like to ask any questions? (There was no response.) After investigation and inspection the Board finds that the appellant wishes to erect a private garage with reduced setback. The Board fin~s that-the appe~lant's lot is an exceptionally deep lot and slopes from the ~0ad down to the creek. The proposed garage will be located on the north west corner of the premises and will be setback approximately 25 feet from Antler'Lane. This proposed garage will be the last possible building before the turn around at-the end of the street. The proposed garage will not change the character of the neighborhood in any way. ~ · The Board finds that s~rict~application of the Ordinance will produce practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship; the hardship created is unique and would not be shared by all properties alike in the immediate vicinityof this property and in the same use district; and the variance does observe the spirit of theOrdinance and will not change the character of the district.

THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak in fair of this application? DOUGLAS ROBERTSON: (President of Brown Hills, Inc.) : We would like to keep the sign up there where it is because of the topography of the land. We have n o other place to put the sign. This road is only two rods wide. CHAIRMAN: Is this sign in the highway? MR~ ROBERTSON: I think it is back from the highway. There was a corner monument there and it was setback further than that monument. HOWARD TERRY~Building Inspector: It is set'back out of the highway. THE CHAIRMAN: '~hat is the size of the sign? MR. ROBERTSON: The sign is 3½ feet by 5 feet. It's two feet above ground level. It is constructed of frame work of cedar post. THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone else present who wishes to speak for this application? (There was no response.) 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 appellant requestpermission to retain an area identification sign. The sign in question is three and one half feet i(3~) by five (5) feet. The sign in question is located at the edge of the private road leading into Browns Hills~ and there is insufficient property to make the,required setback. The Board further finds that there is a high bank on the ns th side of the Main Road,west of the private road which would hide the sign entirely if a deeper setback were imposed. The Board is of the opinion that the ss requested is a necessity to the people who live in Browns Hills, and for people visiting the residents in Browns Hills. The sign is also necessary for delivery men and drivers of emergency vehicles looking for people in the Browns Hills area. -So--old Town Board of Appeals -9- July 28, 1966 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.

Southold ~Town Board of Appeals -10- July 28, 1966 THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak in favor of this application? STANLEY'KRAZENSKI: In this particular case the setback is okay from the front-property line. It is not okay from the side property line. If it was moved'further in there would be a hazard of cars backing into it. MR. BERGEN: I have been down there an looked the situation over.

THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak for this application? STAb/LEYiKRAZENSKI: In this particular case if we moved the sign back any furhter it would not be visible at all. THE CHAIRMAN: In this particular case this sign over hangs the side walk. That is definitely not allowed. There is nothing we can do for you in this case. We can't grant signs on public property or to overhang public property. You ~Xmight turn the sign around or you might put the sign on the other side. STANLEY KRAZENSKI: There are big trees in that area. The sign would not be visible. SoutholdTown Board of Appeals ~12- July 28, 1966 BERGEN: The sign only shows from the East now. MR.
