Appl. #4435
ACTION OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS
DATE OF ACTION: 11/14/96 APPLICANTS: RUTH BOEHLING/R. WRIGHT
LOCATION OF PROPERTY: 290 Custer Avenue, Southotd
COUNTY TAX MAP DISTRICT 1000, SECTION 70, BLOCK 8, LOT 31.
BASIS OF ACTION: Article III, Section 100-26 of the Zoning Code
for a Waiver. Action of Disapproval was issued October 16, 1996 by the
Building Inspector under Section 100-25A for this undersized parcel.
FINDINGS OF FACT: Lot size is approximately one-haif acre and was
created by Planning Board approval on August 1, 1961, ~eferred to as
Lot #8 on the Map of Section One, Fairview Park. The dimensions are
115.94 ft. by 175.0 ft. deep. The adjoining lot (Subdivision Lot #9 is
improved with a single-family dwelling, built in 1976 during one-acre
zoning.) This lot became merged in 1992 due to a Life Estate. Prior to
the Life Estate, the lots were recognized as separate lots in different
ownership for 23+ years, and met the zoning requirements at the time of
creation (1961 by subdivision approval).
REASONS: The neighborhood consists of improved lots similar in size;,
the grant of this waiver will not substantially increase the density of
the neighborhood (for this particular single lot); a denial of the
waiver will cause economic hardship to the owners; the county and town
parcel assessment records show this as a separate parcel on a 1961
town-approved Map (Fairview Park); the natural details and character of
the contours will not be significantly changed or altered, and there is
no need to fill or subslantially alter the laird.
MOTION MADE BY: R. Villa SECONDED BY: J. Goehringer
ACTION/RESOLUTION ADOPTED: Granted, as applied.
VOTE OF THE BOARD: Ayes: James Dinizio, Jr., Robert A. Villa,
Lydia A. Tortora, Gerard P. Goehringer. This resolution was
~manimously adopted, 4-0. (Member Doyen of Fishers Island was
absent, as agreed due to the traveling time and expenses involved. )

REASONS FOR DENIAL OF WAIVER:

dwelling prior to the enactment of merger law which has been enforced since
1983.
2. Separate assessments and separate tax bill~ for 27+- years, and separate
purchase dates (two deeds) are not attributable to zoning laws (instead are
for building and land assessment ~nd taxes).
3. Lots are significnntly smaller than the zoning size of 40,000 required in
this R-40 Residential area.

granted. Variances would be required to build on the requested lot due to its
substantial nonconformities-

Appl. #4433 ACTION OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS Nov. 19, 1996
APPLICANTS: FRANCIS & CHRISTINA DOYEN
LOCATION OF PROPERTY: Hedge St. Fishers Island
COUNTY TAX MAP DISTRICT 1000, SECTION 10, BLOCK 7, LOT 26,
referred to as New York State land, which adjoins the Doyens' Lot 17
(now merged as one forming a new lot number 26.1).
BASIS OF ACTION: Article III, Section 100-26 of the Zoning Code
for a Waiver. Action of Disapproval was issued October 9, 1996 by the
Building Inspector under Section 100-25A for. this undersized
sTate-owned parcel of land.
FINDINGS OF FACT: This tract of land is improved with a single-family
dwelling and has been owned for many years by the State of New York.
There is public water available to both lots This .land, many years
prior to 1957, was filled by the State. T~e appliCant's la'ad, along
wtzich the State lot adjoins, is also improved with a single-family
dwelling. Both dwellings are evidenced by a written Pre-Certificate of
Occupancy issued by the Building Department under No. Zl1240Z dated
October 6, 1982. The merger of the ~wo lots was formed when the State
of New York conveyed by Letters Patent ownership to the immediately
adjoining landowners, Francis and Christina Doyen, the applicants
herein. The State would not convey in any- other names and therefore a
merger could not be avoided~ The lots were always held in separate
ownership continuously prior to the Letters Patent dated April 2,
1996. The owners have offered written easements, in perpetuity, to
the waterfront lot over the landward lot (formerly 17, now 26.1) owned
at this time by the applicants herein, for sufficient fire access, arid
for maintenance and use of the sanitary system.
REASONS: The dwelling which exists on the existing waterfront parcel
cannot continue to be landlocked, and as part of this Waiver, approval
is conditioned u~pon writien easements in perpetuity, recordable in the
County Clerk's Office, for proper fire access and maintenance of the
sanitary system. The neighborhood to the north consists of improved
lots similar in size; the grant of this waiver will not increase the
density of the neighborhood since each is already improved with s
single-family dwelling; a denial of this waiver would cause economic
hardship to the owners; the county and town records show these two
tracts in existence and in separate ownership prior to 1996; the natural
details, character, and contours will not be significantly changed or
altered, and there is no need to fill or substantially alter the land.
The Town has issued Certificate of Occupancy No. Z-t1240 confirming
occupancy of each of the two subject dwe]Hngs.

and
Request Herein
Variance based upon October t0, 1996 Action of Disapproval of the
Building Inspector. Applicant wishes to proceed in obtaining a new
building pe~-,~t for deck ad~tion within 75 feet. of existing
bulkhead, and for accessory shed location with an insufficient
front yard setback (as tocated/built),at 7+- feet fro the side line
at its closest point and 4+- feet from the northerly front property
line.
BOARD ACTION:
Motion by M~her Dinizio, seconded by ChsirmsnGoehringer, it was
RESOLVED, to CONDITIONALL~ GRANT the relief requested at this t~me
