THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone-present who wishes to speak
in favor of this application?
LEFFERTS P~' ED$ON~ ESQ,: bir. Chairman~ and members of the
Board~ this contract was drawn up from the lots that were
originally in Bailly 'Park.
~ A discussion was held in regard to the size of the lots
at present compared to what they were in1926 as shown on the map
of Bailly Park presented ~y Mr. Edson).
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak
against this application?
~There was no'~.~ponse.)
After investigation and inspection the Board finds that
Dorothy M. Worth and others wishes to divide a lot,. thus
making two lots with insufficient area. However~ both lots
will have sufficient ~rontage on the road, The Board finds
that this is a reasonable request~ and is in agreement with
the reasoning of the applicant~as stated in the application
to the Board. The Board finds that this situation is common
to shorefront property as it follows the course of the creek.
The Board finds that strict application to 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 the Ordinance and will not change the character
of the district.
On motion by Mr. Gillispie, seconded by Mr. Bergen,. it was
RESOLVED that Lefferts P. Edson,. Esq./ a/c'Dorothy
and others,'Mill Lane~ Peconic, New York~ be granted permission
to divide a lot with insufficient ~?~%?~&.~E onproperty located
east side Mill Lane, Peconic, New York~ subject ~ the following
condition:
This present Board is not willing to consider any side yard
or front yard variances for the construction of a dwelling on these
two properties.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: -- Mr. Gillispie~ Mr. Bergen~ Mr. HulSe~l
Mr" Doyen, Mr. Grigonis.

PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal No. 757 - 7:45 P.M.-'~E.~S. To) Upon
application or'Clement T. Brown, Knollwood ?.B~e,. Mattituck,
New York, for a variance to the Zoning Ordinance~ Article III,
Section 307# for permission to amend a building permit to
construct an attached garage. Location of property: south side
Knollwood Lane, Mattituck~ New York, bounded north by-Knollwood
Lane, east by Gilbert'Callahan~ south by Edward Slaga, west
by-Charles KOehlero Fee paid $5.00.
The Chairman opened the hearing by reading application for
a variance~ legal notice of hearing, affidavit attesting to its
publication in the official he,paper, and notice tO the applicant.
THE CHAIRMAN:~ Is~'there'anyone presentwho wishes to spgak in
favor of this application?
(Mr. Clement Brown appeared before the Board to speak in favor
of this application. He Stated tha~ his lot runs downhill and into
a hollow. He also stated that his house was set-back 50 feet from
the road. Mr. Koehler, adjoining property owner, appeared to object
to this application. His objection was t/~at~S house was .set-back
90 feet from the road and the p~oposed addition by Mr. Brown would
be in view of his front yard. There was much discussion concerning
the breezeway and the ga~$ge. Mr. Brown has already laid down
a patio which he intended to build the garage to. However, his plans
would leave him only 5 feet fromthe property line. The Board was
no willing to go along with this reduction in side yard.)
THE CHAIRMAN,. Anyone else wish to be hear~ on this application
one way or the other?
!(There was no response.)
After investigation and inspection the Board finds that
Clement Brown wishes to construct an addition to his existing
dwelling, thus leaving an insufficient sideyard. The Board
finds that M re Brown has twice the size lot required by the
Zoning Ordinance~ therefore, it is the opinion of the Board of
Appeals thata reduction in the sideyard requirements should
not be granted~ Such reduction would not be in keeping with
the requirements and spirit of the Zoning Ordinance. Also
said reduction in sideyard would not be in keeping with the
neighborhood, since other dwellings in this ~rea have the
sufficient side yards. The Board finds that the hardship
claimed by the applican~~. is a self-imposed hardship; If
the applicant had not laidthe patio~ the garage could be
attached di~ectlyto the dwelling~ and no side yard reduction
would be require~.

The Board finds that strict application of the Ordinance will not
produce practical difficulties orunnecessary hardship; the hard-
ship-created is not unique and would be shared by all properties
alike in the immediate vicinity of-this property and in the same
use district; and the variance does not observe the spirit of the
Ordinance and will change the character of the district.
On motion by Mr. Gillispie,~ seconded by Mr. Bergen, it was
RESOLVED that'C~ement T. Brown, EnollwoodLane, 'Mattituck,~
New York, be denied permission to amend a building permit to
construct an attached garage, on property locatedsouths~de

PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal No' 749 - Upon application of J. Herbert
Cassidy,. Hobart Road,. Southold, New York, for a special exception in
accordance with the Zoning Qrdinance, Article'X, Section 1003A,.
for permission to renew a labor camp permit on the property of I.P.
Krupski~ east side BridgeLane, East'Cutchogue, New York,, bounded
north by $. Zanowski, east by A.'C% Davids:, south by P. Bedell and
west by Bridge'Lane. Fee paid $5.00.
The above hearing was recessed from March 4~ 1965, at which
time the Board wanted more time to secure more information about
the farm ~abor camp. The Chairman reopened the hearing by reading
the legal notice and application.
MR. CASSIDY: I will make this short. We would like to keep
this open just long enough to finish out the season, then we
are going to close it down.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone else who wishes to be heard
on this application~ or any questions?
'~There was no response.)
After.investigation and inspection the Board finds that
j. Herbert~Cassidy requested permission to renew a farm labor
camp permit. At the hearing on March 4, 1965, there was
considerable objection to the continuance of this camp~ A
letter in the file from Joseph H. Sawicki~ Chief of
indicates that there were no calls from Cassidy~s Labor'Camp
in the year of 1964. However, there were numerous calls
from Robert Bolling Camp, Bridge Lane, Cutchogue, New York.
Southold Town Board of Ap~e~ls
-5- April 1, 1965
It was established at %he public hearing on March ~, 1965, that
Robert Bolling is the crew leader for the Cassidy Labor Camp.
The letter from the police chief stated that the calls from
Robert Bolling:'s Camp were to settle fights~ non payment of
wages~ remove drunks and disorderly persons and assaults. At
the reopening of the hearing of April 1~ 1965, ~Lr. Cassidy
stated that he requested permission to keep the camp open
only until May 15, 1965, which would be the end of the season.
It was the opin~n of the Board that this is a reasonable request.
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.
On motion by blt. Gillispie, seconded by Mrl Hulse, it was
RESOLVED that Jo Herbert Cassidy, Hobart Road, Southold,
New York be granted permission to reneW a farm labor camp permit
on the property of I.P. Krupskio This permit is granted only
until May 15~ 1965, at which time the farm labor camp permit
forCassidy' Labor Farm, Bridge Lane, Cutchogue~ New York,expires
permanently.
Vote of the Board: Ayes:--Mr2 Gillispie, Mr. Bergen, Mr. Hulse,
Mr. Doyen, Mr. Grigonis.
Mr. TredwellAbrams appeared before the Board for an
informal discussion in regard to putting a directional sign
on the property of Mary Pylko~ M~ttituck~ The Board accepted
the necessary applications and advised Mr. Abrams that this
would be set for a hearing on April 15~ 1965.
The Board again took up the matter of the sign to be erected
on the Chevron Service Station, intersection of Bayview Road and
Main Road, Southold. Mrl Hockman~ agent for the Chevron Station~
appeared before the Board to discuss this matter. It was Mr.
Hockman's idea to provide a background for the proposed sign.
His idea was that the sign would now become a wall sign. However,
the Board was not~illing to go along with this. The applicant
feels that the sign'would not be suitable anywhere but on the
roof of the building. The Board was willing to grant the "Chevron"
roof sign~ if the applicant would agree to take down the wall
sign which reads "we take better care of your car". it was agreed
