I believe the land back there is filled, isn't it? How ~uch land is back there? BUILDING INSPECTOR: Just a good sized building lot.

Hulse AYES - All At 7:40 P.M., the Board of Appeals took up the matter of Appeal No. 1105, Upon application of Frank W. Fanning and Alicia V. Fanning, Main Road, Southold, New York, for a special exception in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance, Article'III, Section 300, Subsection 5 (a) for permission to convert existing dwelling to two fm~ily use. Location of property: north side Main Road, Southold, New York, bounded north by S. B. ~ischer, east by R. Terry, south by Main Road, west by M. W. Newbold. The Chairman opened~the hearing by reading the application 19o5, legal notmce of he~r~ng~ for special exception dated June 4, ' ' ~ ' affidavits attesting to its publication in the official newspapers~ and notice to the applicants. Southold Town Board of Appeals -3- June 20, 1968 THE CHAIRMAN: The application is accompanied by a survey indicating that there is a two-story frame house with porch on front facing Main Road. The lot is approximately 202 feet in depth and 69 feet in width according to survey ~y Van Tuyl dated July 21, 19~5. The closest point on the westerly side of t~e house is approximately 18 feet to the west- erly line and the easterly Bide is approximately 9 3/4 feet; and there is a garage here now? RENSSELAER G. TERRY, JR.: The garage was added on on the easterly side and comes right to the line. THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone here who wishes to speak for this application? R. G. TERRY, JR.: I appear on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Fanning and ask for favorable consideration of the application for the reason that they are elderly people who for many years used the property as a two-family resi- dence and they discontinued this use when their last ~nant moved out and at that time they didn't have any other tenants and they did not continue to use it as such. The facilities are all there. There has been no change since the tenants moved out and the property could be used without any furthe~ conversion. The only change, which the survey which I brought along to show that they acquired title back in 1945, is that they did add the garage to the east side of the premises. I think that the premises are equipped to two family use and I would think that that would not be prejudicial to the neighborhood. THE CHAIRMAN: You say there is a garage? R. G. TERRY, JR.: Yes, the garage was added right here so that this was extended right to the line. THE CHAIRMAN: And you have no objection? R. G~ TERRY, JR.: No, I have no objection. THE CHAIRMAN: Are there any other questions? These kennels no longer exist do they? R. G. TERRY, JR.: I think they might be there, but they are no longer used. THE CHAIRMAN: This land of Elizabeth A. Terry is a separate lot? R. G. TERRY, JR.: Yes, it's a 50 foot lot. Marion A..Terry actually has title to that and I don't ~oubt that iS this property was ever sold out- right, we could ~ve her an additional 25 feet to give her lot more size. THE CHAIRMAN: (Looking at the survey) Is this property actually only 69 feet wide? It looks wider. R.G. TERRY, JR.: It looks wider from the street, but - it might be difficult to show here - the line actually is there, because my line comes right up to here. Southold TOWn Board of Appeals -4- June 20, 1968 1~. HULSE.~' This shows only a single-cm" garage. R. G. TERRY, JR.: Arrangmments would have to be made for parking. The owner would have to make arrangements for any tenant. They do have 18 feet, so they could ~sta~llsh a driveway. The elm trees are no longer in eXistence. THE CHAIRMAN: Is this garage entered from the rear now? R. G. TERRY, JR.: No, it is entered from the street. There is room to put a driveway in if he had to. MR. HULSE: Just so they understand that there has to be offstreet parking. THE CHAIRMAN: The condition of granting this would be that any tenant would park off the highway in the rear yard area. Are there any other questions? (No response) THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone who wishes to speak against this application? (No response) M~ion was made and ~carried that the Board grant this application on cSndition that any tenant or tenants shall park in the rear yard area of what is now known as the Fanning property.
