Southold Town Board of Appeals
-2- January 10, 1974
THE CHAIRMAN: The application is accompanied by a
copy of a survey dated January 17, 1972 indicating a
stockade fence (6 and 1/2 feet high) on the westerly
side of the property and a 4 foot high fence in the
front yard area, running back from Bay Avenue.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to
speak for this application?
(There was no response.)
THE CHAIRMAN: I might explain that the applicant has
a non-conforming contractor's business bordering this
property. The purposes of this fence is to screen out
some of the non-conforming uses that occur.
MR. HOWARD TERRY, Building Inspector: He has a permit
for a 4 foot fence but wants to carry out the 6 and 1/2
foot fence further toward the front yard. He would like
to carry it a distance of 25' to 30' to the front.
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 applicant requests permission to erect and maintain
stockade fence (6 and 1/2 feet high) on the south side
of Bay Avenue (Skunk Lane), Cutchogue. The Board finds
that applicant has a non-conforming contractor's business
bordering this property and wishes to screen out some of
the non-conforming uses that occur. The Board agrees with
the reasoning of the applicant.
The Board finds that strict application of the
Ordinance would produce practical difficulties or un-
necessary hardship; the hardship created is unique and
would not be shared by all properties alike in the
immediate vicinity of this property and in the same use
district; and the variance Will not change the character
of the neighborhood, and will observe the spirit of the
Ordinance.
