TM~. CPL%IRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to
speak in favor of this application?
JAMES OLSEN: I am sure the Board is familar with the
situation there. I can not figure out any other way of
doing it. I have removed the roof sign.
TRE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak
against this application?
(.There was no response.)
After investigation and inspection 'the Board finds that
James Olsen wishes to erect a sign on his Real Estate Office,
located on the Main Road, in Mattituck~ This sign will be
placed on the esterly side wall. The angle of the road and
the propertly line is such that a sign is not-easily seen if
placed on the front of the building. Surrounding trees also
make it difficult to see the building, and a sign, if it was
placed on the front of the building. The Board finds that
this sign will be 21 inches high by 51 inches long~ and will
be illuminated.
The Board finds that the public convenience and welfare
and justice will be served and the l~gally established or.
permitted use of neighborhood property and adjoining use
districts will no be permanently or substantially injured and
the spirit of the Ordinance will be observed.
On motion by Mre Gillispie, seconded by Mr. Hulse, it was
RESOLVED that James Olsen~. Main Road,~Mattituck~ New York~
be granted permission to erect.a wall sign on the easterly wall
of the building located south side Main Road, Mattituck,. New
York.

(There was no response.)
After investigation and inspection the Board finds that
James Olsen wishes to place a ground sign on his Real Estate
Office property located in Mattituck. The Board finds that
this sign will be less that'the total square footage that is
permitted~_for an on premises business sign~ however~ it will
have additional height. This sign needs more height in order
to be seen traveling in an easterly direction, The Angle of
the road and the property line~, combined with the treess and
a non-conforming ground sign on the adjoining property~ block
the~!sion of a sign with normal height. The Board finds
that this sign will be 7~ feet wide by 9~ feet long.

February 1~ 196.5
THE CHAIRMAN-: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak
in favor of this application?
FLOYD ~ING,' JR: I am here in favor of it.
THE CHAIRMAN: Was this Cottage in question part of the
hotel operation?
FLOYD KING, JR: Yes. It was divided into 3 parts when
my f~ather died.
THE CHAIRMAN: How many cottageswere there originally?
FLOYD KI~IG~ JR: There were 10 cottages.
THE CHAIRMAN: Now, tell us what is directly south of this
cottage in question.
FLOYD KING, JR: Directly to the south is one family
dwelling which is summer cottage~ also was part of the
hotel operation. The next house is four apartments in
a business zone. That was part of the hotel operation.
Formerly ithad eight bedrooms. The next house is three
~apartments~ formerly used in connection with the hotel
operation in the business zone. The next house is being
remodeled into five apartments in the business zone. This
house is directly on the water. The next one is Orient-Worth.
Across the street is the hotel.
THE CHAIRMAN: Now,going north what is in the area?
FLOYD KING, JR.: The first house was my parents home.
That is a one family dwelling in the business zone. ~he
next cottage is used as one family summer'residen~e. This
was with the hotel operation. Across the street is one family
dwelling used as a tourist house. The owner has a number
of rooms that she rents. The next house ~on the same side
of the street is a summer home. The summer people own it.
The ne~t property borders on the Orient Historical Society
property.
THE CHAIRMAN: W~nat is directly north of the house in
question?
Southold Town Board of Appeals -~-
February ~, 1965
FI~YD KING, JR: On the north there is a one family dwelling,
year ~ound; and north of that is a ~one family dwelling year
around; north of that one family dwelling is another large house
that is a one family d~elling~ I believe that 'the business zone
in this area runs as far assLatham's property.
THE CHAIRMAN: Beside these one family dwellings, the
neighborhood is of multiple character.
Is there anything further on this application?
FLOYD KING~ JR.: The plan is that if they can use the
ustairs as an apartment it will help to deface from the exp~nse
of redecorating the house. It has two complete bathrooms.
MR. HULSE: How many rooms are in this house in question?
FLOYD KING', JR.: There are six rooms. Four downstairs and
there are two upstairsl
MR. HULSE: What is the size of the plot?
FLOYD ~ING, JR.: 70~ by 90' approximately. There is room on
the south side of the house for a driveway~ and I can not see
any reason why one car can't fit behind the other there.
THE CHA~: Are there any other questipns in connection
with 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
Floyd F. King~ Jr., wishes to convert a building into a two
family dwelling. This building was formerly a cottage used
as part of a hotel operation, as an individual cottage. The
building already has two complete baths and one lavatory. The
Board finds that this was part of an estate divided into three
parts, this particular cottage being part of the property left
to Floyd F. King~ Jr. The Board finds that this conversion will
not change the character of the district in view of the fact
that there are many homes on both the north side and south side
of this street that are summer homes with more than one ~amily
each. There are only three homes in this area that are one
family dwellings year around.

Ann Meally will speak for this application/
Southold Town Board of App~e~ls
-9-
February 18~ 1965
ANN MEALY, ESQ: As you have said, Fir. Chairman,. pursuant
to Artic3s III, Section 300, Subsection 6a~ of the Southold Town
Building Zone Ordinance, this is an application to erect an
substation. The substation will be located in the area you have
specified. This area is sparsely settled. This would be
constructed on vacant land. The reason for this application is
there is an increasing demand upon the long Island Lighting
Company, both in the number of customers and the amount of
electric power required.
THE CHAIRMAN: What does an electric substation do?
ANN MEALY, E~Q.: We have an engineer here who can answer
that question?
FRED MEALY, Engineering Departmentt LILCO: There are several
types of substations that service communities. The type of
subs~on that we are interested in here is one that transform
voltage from higher voltage to lower voltage. If there were
23,000 volts coming into this substation~ it would be cut down
to 13,000 volts. We now have two substations out here. One
In Mattituck and one in Southold. The distance between th~Se
two stations is 13 miles. The voltage gets very low near the
end of the line. We feel that we need a substation in the
Peconic area. The two stations in MattitUck and Southold, are
not sufficient to take care of the increasing demand for
electricity.
THE CHAIRMAN: This will directly benefit the Peconic area~
and indirectly benefit the Mattituck and Southold area.
FRED MEAL~: The Peconic area is serviced from a long distance
which makes the ~oltage very low in this area.
THE CHAIRMAN: Does anyone here have any questions they would
like to ask?
MR. JAMES: Is this going to be the same thing as is in
Mattituck?
FRED MEALY: NOo
Ann Meally~ Esq. presented a photograph of what the p~posed
substation would l~k like. This was passed around the room so
that everyone present could view it.
DR. RADZIEWICZ~ Mill Lanet Peconic: You mentioned that
th~ze is a substation in Southold and one in Mattituck. Why does
this one have to be located in peconic. Why can't it be put in
an area like the town dump?
Southold Town Board of App'~ls
February ~ 1965
FRED ~Y: I am not familiar with the Town dump. There are
several factors that lead to the decision for the location. First
we are located in the middle of the Mattituck substation and
the Southold substation. It is most desirable from our point of
view because this site is right along the present transformer lines.
This property gives a good access to the road, which gives us a
means of getting our equipment in and out. Thisarea is sparsely
settled and the operation would be quite far back from the road.
MR2 JAMES: I don't think anyone would like to see that in
their back yard. ~I am 200 feet from Sound View Avenue on the
west side of Mill Land, toward the sound.
THE CHAIRMAN: The area where this is proposed is mostly wooded
area.
MR.' JAMES: There are alo%~$f homes in that area.
FRED MEALY: The area in question is all wooded area.
DR. RA~ZIEWICZ: That is not sparsely settled.
KENT RENN~.?~,~ Lane, Peconic: There are many homes in
this area. This is residential area in character, If we allow
this in there,we are not doing the residential homes any good.
THE CHAIRMAN: Substations ars necessary to all the residents.
The Long Island Lighting Company has photographs of substations
that are elsewhere, and they are very well landscaped. The point
has been made here, that this particular location is directly on
the transmission line. This facility will add to the comfort
of the residents.
~RNT RENELL: If you place this in a residential area such
as ours it will black the area. I certainly would not build
a home next to it.
THE CHA~: It looks as if this is to be placed about
288 feet back from the Mall R~ad.
FRED MEAI,r;f: It is about 285 feet.
ANN ME~T.T.Y,' ESQ.: Would this be landscaped in any way?
FRED MEALLY: Yes.
(Dr. Radziewicz then read a statement that he had prepared
informing the Board of his objection to this substation. He felt
that such an installation would devaluate his property which he
informed the Board was of much value to him.)
S~uthold Town Board of AppeaSes

February 18~I1965
MRS. RADZIEWICZ: I don~t think-we need a substation here. We
have one in Southold and one in Mattituck, I don~t see Peconic
as the middle. Peconicwould be 1/4 of the way. The Town-Dump
would be a better location. We have a jetty now down at the sound
and it has been .drawing people there. The people are coming to
build homes and live there.
FRED MEALLY: I would like to point out that the highest point
of this structure will be w24 feet.
KENT RENNELL: What other substation of this type have you
constructed and where~
FRED MEA?,?.Y: At OrientPoint in this general area. That is
the most typical.
MR, HULSE: Is this the same type of substation that is near
the &rive-in theatre in Greenport?
PERRY HATCH: It is similar. This substation will lower the
voltage.
FRED MEALL¥: Whenlwe speak of our'Southold substation, it
isn't actually$outhold. The substation is ,located between ,Southold
and'Greenport.
MRS. MALEK:Peconic: Will there b~ any noise from this
substation?
FRED MEALLY: No, there will be nome. ~(Fzr. Meally then went
on to explain the operation of the substation and how the voltage
would be cut down by this installation.)
THE CHAIRMAN: Will this be visible from the road?
FRED ME~Tw,Y: The whole thing would not be visible. You could
see a small portion of the steel structure from the road.
TWM. CHAIRMAN: How high is the present transmission tower?
- FRE~_MEALLY: About 40-45 feet.
THE CHAIRMAN: Do you plan to screen in this area.
PERRY HATCH: This will be screened in in future years. We
plan to plant scotch pines.

HENRY~SMITH: On these high tension powe~ lines, I have
no objection. I have no objection to putting a substation
there. I think it is good for the community.
ANN MEALLY, ES~j: Will there be any discharge, or any refuse
~or sewage?
MI{. FRED MRALL~: "The substation will be surrounded by a
seven foot chain link fence with an additional foot of barbed
wire attached along its top. All structures and equipment
components will be of modern design and operation. The substation
will not discharge any refuse, sewage or effluent. The proposed
installation will not emit obnoxiuos gases, odors~, dust, smoke
or soot and it will not cause a distribing noise, Traffic flow to
and .from the station will be minor, since the station is
normally unattended". (mr. M~llywas reading from the booklet
pressnted to the Board.)
THE CHAIRMAN: There will be no oil trucks, or no buildings ?
.MR. MEALLY: The station will not house any personnel.
MR. JAMES: Will this have the same appearance as shown in
the ~icture?
MR. MEAT.T.Y It would be the same as the picture.
MR. JAMES: Would you like to see this in your ba~k yard?
This is an eye-sore. 300 feet isn't very far away when you
own 250 feet off the r~oad yourself.
MRi MEALLY: we have built substations in various parts of
Long Island. Houses have been built after the substaion has
been built. This will not effect the quietness of the neighborhood.
THE CHAIRMAN: How manysubstations have you built in ~e last
five years on'Long Island?
MR. ~EALLY: I would ~/ke to rule out.the large stations~
They do not apply here~ I would say six or eight. There may be
more.
THE' CHAIRMAN: Then that would-average about one a year.
MR. MEAT.T.Y: Yes, that is right.
KENT RENNELL: How ~many'of these six or eight substations have
been built on Eastern Long Island, and where?
Southold Town Board-of App~e~ls -13- February ~'~, 1965
MR-. b~=ALLY: Bridgehampton, Sag Harbor. On the Sag Harbor
Turnpike, about ½ mite south of~Sag Harbor. i~discussion was
then held on the location of other substations on eastern Long
Ialand.)
PERRY HATCH: I might say at this time, that in every case,
we make every effort to locate our facility in a suitable area,
and sometimes we are very limited. This is one of our problems.
A substation located inCutchogue would not serve the purpose.
We have to locate our substation in order to obtain maximum
effieiency. We can not bring the electricity from the east
to the west.
MR.' JAMES: This property would not be desirabls to purchase
with this monstrosity abudding my property, I have children,
and'I am proud of my home, but I am loseing money with this in
my back yard.
MR.' MEAT~.¥: This location is right along our power line.
It is necessary that we have maximum effieiency. --
MR~ RADZIEWICZ: It is only a mile further to the Town
dumpj You~op~e haven't looked far enough. I 3ust put up
a~beautifulhom~,, and I would like to keep it beautiful.
MR. JAMES: I am sure that if you were looking for land of this
type for the subst~ion~ that you would find someplace else between
$outhold and Cutchogue.
MRS.'~RICH: What would be the future feeling of the Board in
changing the zone near this appeal 'if it is granted. Would
future applications be accepted by the Zoning Board.
THE CHAIRMAN: Such an application would not come to this
Board. A change of zone application would go to the Town Board
for their consideration.
PERRY HATCH: I think at this time I would like to say one-
other thing~ All that was~needed to ¢omstruct this site is one
ac~e. 'We purchased a great deal more so that we could leave the
natural wooded area. So that we can leave the station screened
from the open area. We didn't buy this additional property just
to throw our money away.
MR. JAMES: How would you get in and out of'this place?
Southeld Town Board of App~ls -14- February l~It 1965
PERRY HATCH: We have road frontage on Peconic Mill Road.
will have to build a road from Mill Road to get back to the
substation.
we
DR. RADZIEWICZ: We are the ones that live there and have
to look at this thing.
PERRY HATCH: You will see very little during the summer. This
will be screened in. I would like to say that Long Island Lighting
has the interest of the people at heart.
i(Th~e was much discussion in regard to other possible
locations for this substation. The opinion of most was ~t
this should be located someplace else besides the locatioh
selected by Long Is]and Lighting Company.)
M~S.~ ME?.RK: Could this property belooked at by the Board
b~fore th~make the decision?
THE CHAIRMAN: The Board has looked at ~is already.
Is there anyone else who wishes to be heard on this application?
(~here was no response.)
THE CHAIRMAN: Are there mnyother questions any one would like
to a~ ?
There was no response.)
T~E CHAIRMAN: I will declare the hearing c~sed at this time.
After investigation and inspection and public hearing~ the
Board finds the following:
The Board finds that the permissive use is to establish
a substation for the distribution of electric power in the
Peconic area~ located approximately half,way between the
~attituck and Southold facilities of the Long Island Lighting
Company. It is evident that a shortage of electric power will
exist Dy the summer of 1965, due to the increasing use of
electricity by present custiomers and the addition of new
cust~omers. Under New York State'Law~ Long Island Lighting
Compan~ is obligated to furnish this facility.
Southold Town Board of ApP%~ls
-15-
February 18, 1965
The Use will not prevent~orderly and reasonable use of adjacent
property, or of legaltyestablished uses in the vicinity. It is
the Board's opinion that the safety, welfare~ convenience~ and
comfort of the Town will be enhanced by the construction of
this substation. The use will prommte the orderly development
of the Peconic area as well as indirectly assist the Southold
and Mattituck area.
The area surrounding the proposed site is partially
wooded,~ relatively sparseley settled, residential and agricultural
in character. The wooded area of the proposed site will
largely screen the substation from Mill Road andSo~nd View
Avenue~ and it is on the existing to~er transmission line.
It is the opinion of the Board that it will be very difficult
to-locate this facility so necessary to the economy of the
Town, in a more favorable location. Assistance in choosing
the present location was rendered by the Town Supervisor.
Testimony of the Long Island Lighting Company Engineering
Department indicated that a substation must be reasonably close
to a transmission line to be economical and effective. The
Board of Appeals finds that an immediate need exists and that
the conservation of property values, as well as future development
and enhancement of property values requires a constructive approach
to the reasonable and necessary requirements of this p~posed
utility expansion. The futmre development of the Town and
expansion of.utility service are inseparable~
In this application, Long Island Ligh~ng'Company has
contracted to buy, subject to the approval of this use, a
considerably larger plot of approximately 3.2. acrss; more
than required by this facility. The actual area to be used
will be about one-half acfe~ which will be enclosed by a
seven foot chain link fence~ topped with barbed wire.
Maximum height of 2proposed facility is projected at ~24 feet
as compared to the present tower line~ whose voltage lines
are approximately 40 feet above ground level.
Any further expansion is to be l'ocated within the fenced
area noted above in the northwest cormer of property at approximate
distances as follows: 280 feet south of Mill Road, at closest
point and 450 feet west of Sound View Avenue and Mill Road
intersection. A considerable portion of these distances are
~hly wooded as shown in the aerial ph~tograph~ Exhibit~, in the
appendix to-the application.

February'8 ~ 1965
Principal objections by persons at thehearing were
of an aesthetic nature, however, applicant's site is largely
screened by wooded land and will be furtherTscreened by
evergreens to be to the north. Further'objections concerned
the depreciation of property values of the objectors. It is
the opinion of the Board that no such devaluation will occur
as a result of this use,. and that the applicant's facility
will be largely'screened from surrounding property and that,
i nfact~ the service renedered will assist the objectors in the sale
and development of pm~oerty~
On motion byMr. Gillispie, seconded by Mr, Hulse,~ it was
RESOLVED that Long Island Lighting Company,. 250 Old
Country Road, M~neola, New York, be granted permission to
establish a new elec~ic distribution substation on property
located on the west side of~Mill Lane, Peconic~ New-'York, subject
to the following condtion:
1.~That a suitable evergreen plaRting as outlined in
the appendix~ Drawing F27971, shall be planted on the northerly
border and that the present wooded area shall remain wooded.
The evergreens to the north shall be plantedwithin six months
of initial operation of the new substa-tion. ~
