A regular meeting of the Eouthold Town Board of Appeals was

PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal No. 13%2 - 7:30 P.Mo· (E.D.E,T.), upon
application of ~oe Goldrich, East Broadway, Woodmere, ~New York,

l~I_~, ~eotion 303, end Article X, Section 1000~, for permission to
build new one family dwelling with less than 100 ft. frontage.

of Peconic Bay Estates, Amended Map A, Lot ~s 14 & 15, Greenport,

THE CHAIRMAN: is there anyone present who wishes to speak
for this application?
(There was no response).
~ CHAIP~: is there anyone present who wishes to speak
against this application?
(There was no response.)
THE CHA~: i might state for the record that the abandoned
area to the south and east was originally a road, and I understand
From Mr. Terry that nobody knows who owns it now. There was a
road down-there south and east of these two lots, just at the
corner, but it has never been used.
After investigation and inspection the Board finds that the
applicant requests permission to build new one family dwelling
with less than 100 ft. frontage. One family dwelling will be
built on area larger than required minimum and similar to other
dwellings in the area. The applicant has excess of required
area but is short on frontage due to abandonment and refiling
of subdivision map.
The Board Finds that strict application of the 0~dinance
would produce practical aif_icult~es or unnecessary hardship;
the hardship created is unique and would not be sh~ed by all
properties alike in the immediate vicinity o£ this property and
in the same use district; and the variance will not change the
character of the nemghborhood, snd will observe the spmr~ of
the Ordinance.
On motion by ~. Gr~gon~s, seconded by ~ Bergen, it was
REBOLVED Abe Goldrich, East Broadway, ~oodmere, New York,
be GRATED approval to build new one family ~dwelling with less
than 100 Ft. Frontage. Location of property~ east side of
Bay Shore Road, Greenport, New York.
Vote of the Board~ Ayes:- Messrs. Gillispie, Bergen, Hulse,
Grigonis.
PUB!~TC HEARING: 'Appeal No. 1349 - 7~:4o P~Mo, (E.D.E.T.),
upon applica.tion · of :George W. Smith & ~ons, ~outhold, New York~
for a variance in aocordanc~ with Zoning' 0rdin~ce, Article
II~, Section 307, for permission to construct addition to existing
dwelling with insufficient sideyard area. Location of property:
(cont'd.-Geo. W. Smith & Sons)
east side of Mailler Court, Subdivision F~p of Smithfield Park,
Lot ~ 20, ~onthold, New York. !~ee paid ~.00.
The Chairman opened the hearing by reading the application
for a varisnce, legal notice of hearing, affidavit attesting to
its publication in the official newspapers, and notice to the
applicant.
THE CHAIRNA~: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak
For this application?
(There was no response.)
TEE CHAIRMAN: ! might say that, in talking to ~4r. Emith, he
told. me that he owns ~the adjacent lot, Lot # 21, and would be
perfectly willing to convey out o£ r.ot ~ 21, which is slightly
oversized, so this would be l0 ft. from_ the side yard. This
particular house is on an odd shaped piece of property, which is
103 ft. end~_l ft. (over) - 14~ ft. on two courses. It is 23~ ft.
on one side; very irregular. He is perfectly agreeable to
specify that en Lot # 21 an additional sfdeyard be created to
permit the same distance between houses that would normally be
the case.
THE CHAIR}¢~: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak
against this application?
(There was no response.)
MR. TEPd~T: Yon might mention, for the record, that you saw
the original foundation.
THE CH~IENAN: That is true. ~. Emfth built a one-car
garage and the man who contracted to buy the house wanted a two-
car garage. Zt was slightly caty-corner, i am inclined to
grant this application since recent decisions on zoning tend to
support this type of thing~ end it shows hardship.
~!~. EUL~E: I thought he was going to convey.
~. B~R~: it would make £or an awkward situation.
~. TEERT, Building ~spector: In this particular lot, I
don~t~think there is more~than one straight line in the whole-
thing.
~MR. 'HUL~: I dentt think it would~ create hardship to move
the line. He just has to angle this in. He doesn't have to change
his £rontage a bit.
~ C~LRI~W: It seems simpler to do it the other way.
Eowever~ if you would rather have it that way and the re~t of
the Board will go along, we will do it that way.
MR. TERRY, BUilding Inspector: It's going to afffect the
deeds to two maps.
" THE CHAI~_EAN: Assuming we denied this application, I think
on appeal it would be overthrown.
MR. HULSE: I don~t think that should be taken into con-
sideration anyway. ~$e should make our decisions, and they make
the ir s.
TP~ CHAIRN~__M: Personally, I am not sure it's right that
there.must be ~0,000 sq. ft. lots. There is no provision made
for widows, schoolteachers, etc. My opinion, reinforced by a
little reading, is that the arbitrary edicts that zoning imposes
are going to be overcome; and in this case, it won't affect
anything in particular. Is that the way you want to do it?
Ft. GRIGONIS: It will ms_kc fo~ a lot of red tape if they
have to change the line.
After investigation and inspection, the Board finds that
the applicsnt requests permission to construct addition to
existing dwelling with insufficient sideys~d area. The house
was designed with a one-car garage. ~fter the cement block
foundation was built, a ~o ~o~ Terp contracted to buy the
house but needed a two car garage. & two-car garage would be i ft.
~ too close to the side yard. M~. Smith owns the adjacent lot,
L~t # 21, and would be agreeable to specify that on Lot ~ 21
an additional sideyard be created to permit the same distance
between houses.
The Board finds that strict application of the Ordinance
would produce practical difficulties or uanecessary hardship~
the hardship created is unique and would not be shared by all
properties alike Lu the immediate v[cinlty of this property and
in the same use district; and the variance will not change the
charaoter of the neig~hborhood, and will observe the spirit of
the Ordinance.
On motion by lz~. Gillispie, seconded by ~. Bergen, it was
RE~OLVED George W.-Smith & Sons, Southold, New York, be
GRANT~ aDproval to construct addition to existing dwelling
with insufficient sideya~d a~ea. Location of p~operty: east
side of Maille~ Court, Southold, New Yo_~k. This approval is
g~anted, subject to the following condition:
Condition: ~rnazev~r structure is located on Lot ~ 21 when,
as and if it is sold shall be located at least 16~..fto-£rom the
south line.
Vote of the Board: Ayes:- Messrs. Gillispie~ Bergen, Grigonis.
No:- ~. Hulse
Application GR~2~TED, but not unanimously.

PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal No. 1350 - 8:00 ~.M. (E.D.S.T.),
upon application of~.Mary Bollman, Truman Path, ~East Marion, ~New
York, for a variance in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance,
Article /!~, Section ~03, aud~&rticle X, Section 1000A, for
pemmissio~ to build new one family dwelling with tess than 100 ft.
frontage.' Location of property: south side of Truman Path, East
Fmrion~ New. York, bounded north by Truman Path, east by Earle Vail,
south by Gardeners Bay, west by ~. Bollmsn. Fee Paid $5.00.
The Chairman opened the hearing by reading the application for
variance, legal notice of hearing, affidavit attesting to its
publication in the official newspapers, and notice to the applicant.
THE CHAIR~: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak
for this application?
EDNA BR0~: I would like to point out the lot on the map.
f~E CHAiRP.~: (Referring to map) Both lots, or just one?
EDNA BR0~5~: ~s. Bollman has the lot next to it. She wants
to have a home for each of her children.
THE CFu~IRI~N: This will be transferred to the children.
The depth will be 230 ft. Has the bay washed in that way?
EDNA BROWN: i don~t think it has eroded. There's a pretty
good beach in front.
THE CP,~IRF~2~-: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak
against this application?
THE CH~IR, ~: I will offer a resolution that this applica-
tion be granted.with the following conditions: that you will
have to separate this out from your own lot. ~s it is now, you
own 100 ft. and you propose to transfer ~0 ft. to one of your
daughters, is that correct? This permission will become
effective when you do that. - This goes back to 1948, before
zoning. ~e could deny it because it is smaller than the p~esent
minimum. However~ in cases like this t~t p~eceded the
ordinance ~e tend to go 10% under. Tou are right on the border
line. $~Yhat is being proposed for the future in the Town of
~outhold is a minimum lot size of"40,000 sq. ft. So this is
not something that would ~egula~ly be done.
~RT BOLLM~2~: I would consider it a
THE CHAIR24&N: ~ge are not doing you. a favor. We are
offering this resolution because the transaction preceded zoning.
There is no way to enlarge the lot.
~*~T BOLI~: It will be a load off my mind if something
can be · done.
~DNA BRa: They are separate on the tax billS.
~L~RT BODi~M~: i bought the second lot two and a half years
a~ter the original.
THE CHA~P~M~: This has happened in other places where they
have increased the lot size three times ~u the life of the owned-
started as l0 ft., got to 20 ft., and then to 40 ft. The original
owner could divide on what was in acceptance before 1926. Before
19~? there was no ordinence. You bought the lot before 19~?.
~;RT BOY~r.w~J~: A's soon as I transfer the lot to one of my
children, I will be able to build?
THE CNA31~w~: The Building Inspector will give you a permit
to build a~ house.
EDNA BRC~N.* Do they have to build ~ight away?
~. TERRY, Building Inspector: Tou may build any time after
the transfer.
After inVestigation and inspection the Board f~nd~ that
the applicant requests permission to build new one
dwelling ~ith less than 100 ft, frontage. The Board finds
that the applicant owns 100 ft, and proposes to tr~usfer 50 ft.
to one of her daughters. The property is smaller than the
present minimum but goes back to 1948, be£ore zoning.
The BQard finds that strict application of the Ordinance
would produce hardship practical di£ficulties or unnecessary
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.
On motion by ~r. G~llispie, seconded by M~. Bergen, it was
~ITE~O~VE~ ~ary Bollman, Truman Path~ East Marion, New York,
be G~ permission to build new one fami~ dwelling with
less th~ ~100 ft. f~ontage on p~operty located on seuth side

PUBLIC LT~RI~G: Appeal No. 13~,~8- 8:30 P.M. (N.D.S.T.),
upon application ~of Ralph To Preston, inc., Greenport, New.
York, for a variance in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance,
Article ~, Section 300, for permission to use lot for storage
of building materials, etc. Location of property: east side
of Manhanset Avenue, ~Greenport, New York, bounded north by
~terling Cemetery, east by Barbara Dow, south by St. Agnes
Cemetery, west by M~nh~mset Avenue. -Fee Paid $5.00.
The Chairm~m opened the hearing by reading the application
for a~variance, legal notic~ of hearing, affidavit attesting to
its publication in the official newspapers, and notice to the
applic~ut.
THE CHAIP~i~N: ~s there anyone present who wishes to
speak for this application?
~TANIET COR~: I would like to speak in favor of the
application, i would like to feel that the members of the
Board are all personally aware of the situation. This
particular piece of property is ~ot in any sense suitable
for the type of operation that is permitted in a residential
area. i mean the use that is permitted in a residential area~
under the zoning ordinance. I am saying the property can not
be used for residen~tial purposes. The fact that a building
can't be put there really amounts to confiscation of property.
I~en nothing can be done, you a~e actually taking the use of
the property from the property owner.., if a property o~er
has to pay taxes on it and can't use it. It was with that
purpose in mind that some time ago an application was made
to the To~n Board. They were asked to withdraw. The Board,
I am sure, is aware that across the street there is an
industrial operation going on now.
~e would be willing to have the Board grout this applica-
tion and impose some not unreasonable conditions appropriate
to the operation. I have in mind height, as ~dicated,
materials, re~trictions of that nature.
THE CHAIEMA2~: The application states~ that yo~ need more
storage space for materials so what you would store there is
basically the same as that across the street. ~uyone else
wish to speak?
JOHN CO~TELLO: The material planned to be stored would
not be the same as the timber across the street. The timber
is pil~mg for floating equipment. ~torage of creosote material
and creosote piling. Bock building material, generally.
THE CHA~N~2~: is there anyone present who wishes to speak
against this application?
NANCY COOK: I live on Ch~mptin Place. My house overlooks
this particular property, i am opposed to this appeal because
i think it will do~ngrade this property and is possibly another
move to have this area zoned for Business. I feel that storage
is an eyesore to the neighborhood and the people I have spoken
to also feel this way. I have also noticed that because of the
use of this property, the property that comes alongside' of it
now has garbage being dumped on it. Many times you find a great
deal of debris. ~¢e have long been unhappy about the use of this
property. The property across the street is being used for a
boat warehouse. It was supposed to be zoned Residential. ~hen
it was zoned Busimess we ~uderstood it was to be used as a
restaurant site. ~e feel this is happening to us again. There
are houses that are close by. Speaking of tax value, we have
all had an increase in our assessment during the past week.
There is no benefit as far as the neighborhood goes. T~nese
pictures were taken of the property in question today.
imagine you have seen them.
TEE CH&L~2~: I looked at them today.
NANCY COOE: That is ~nly a small portion of the property.
Residentially, we live in that entire area. it was partially
filled in by dredging. ~nere was not a great deal of property
left over.
THE CHA~': Does anyone else wish to speak?
JOYCE TERRY: i am a ~uember of the Sterling Cemetery
Association. I _eel very strengly about it. ~e spoke of it
at the annual meeting in January and no one was~in favor of it.
Sterling Cemetery is one of the most beautiful cemeteries, it
has a lovely pond with goldfish. I, as a member of the
~ssociatlon am against the proposal.
T~ CHAIP~MA~: Would you identify these pictures.
~R. COSELL0: This is the property in question.
EiEANOR ~EET B&tIEY: I am a member of the ~te_vling
Cemetery Association. .Mrs. Terry put a great deal o£ work ~
that pond, I am against.
I~OIS i{UCHE~_~ER: I am a neighbor of Nancy Cook's. I look
out of my windows and see what you label "A~ in that picture.
I agree with everything I~s. Cook said. It%has a deteriorating
affect on the neighborhood. It seems to encourage all kinds of
disposal.
THE CI~iRM~N: It attracts refuse?
LO~ EU~HEIi~ER: I don~t think it has improved the polutlon
problem. I think we need Residential zoning. I am opposed.
MR. CORWIN: I would like to make observations. I would not
want the Board to think we propose to do any kind of dredging.
I am talking about the dredging that came up on the east side of
the cemetery. There was dredging done east of that lot. Dredging
was done north from there. We a~e not going to be able to get
a boat across Manhanset Road. O~ly essential dredging.
THE CHAIR~MAN: How big is this lot?
I~R. CORe, IN: I dontt know,
I~Ro COSTET.T~O: 120 ft. x 400 ft.
THE CHAIR~-~N: Lu other words, it extends from the easterly
border of the cemetery down toward Gull Pond. $,ll the way to
Gull Pon~.
~MR. COSTELLO:
excavation~ .
Not all the way.
~nere is something in here, says "proposed
MR. COR~I~: Right now the contours of this area are carved
out naturally. It is a mosquito breeding 8mea. We would clean
it out so there would be a tidal flow throughout the area. Itts
a housekeeping situation there.
THE C~IR~2~: %~e have no power to control dredging.
MR. COR~!N: We just want to move some mud out of the way.
NA,~CY C002[: i understand that dredging was done by a
company that developed land to the east of this- Gull Pond Lane.
A canal was dredged. I understand this greatly endangered the
water table, and they felt any further dredging would affect the
water table, Is it possible this could be a move to bring through
another canal all the way through? This could be a start so that
there would be water flowing all %he. way over.
MR. COST~T,LO: It was a different company.
}~. T~HRY, Building Inspector: Does the Board realize how
low that cemetery is?
THE CP~J~: Does anyone else wish to speak?
2~. COR'~I4T: The Board can take into considerat'ioa the
absolute impossibility of competing with building sites in the
vicinity.
THE CH~!H?.~I~-,~ The basic thing that strikes me is that your
application a~e us to bury the precepts of the Ordinance. I
think this is beyond the power of the Board. It seems to me.
that the remedy lies in a change of zone. I have no knowledge
of why they asked you to withdraw the application for B zoning.
~. CORW~ i wish you would hold your opinion open.
THE CHiIF~i~: ! don~'t th~k this is with~ the power of
the Board.
2~. CORW~T: Would you afford us the opportunity of three
or four days to put in a brief?
TEE CHAIR~J~: This has, in effect, changed the uses for
residential property. Ordinarily you would not consider putting
B (business) zone next to a cemetery. Also, I understand that
the people who live near the cemetery are very upset about it.
~EE CHAIRF~N:
postpone decision.
The Fmrina is business zoned.
If the rest of the Board is agreeable we can
MR. COR~IIi~: ~i!l you be meeting in the next week or two?
THE CHAIRI*.2~N: This will be held off until July 30th.
MRo COR%~IN: if there is a legal question involved we would
like to have the opportunity to give the applicant a chance to
submit a legal brief.
On rc~otion by ~. Gillispie, seconded by Fro. Grigonis, it was

THE CHAIHMAN: Is there anyone here who wishes to speak For

HE~CRY W~I~: Yes, ~. am Henry Williams. I~e bought the

the idea for investment for the future. We bought it July 9,
1966 (it may have been July 8th).

No. But it has two kitchens, two bathrooms.
You have made no alterations to disturb that

in case any~hing should ever happen to me. We 'are using the
upstairs at the present time.
THE CHAIP~MAN: it is a security measure for the future.
You have no tenants in mind~ ~Ye are not asking out of curiosity-
Just for the record. I guess it is clear that you now use
both the upstairs and downstairs and have since 1966. it was
used for 2% years as a two-family house before that.
NH. ~- Who owned it before$
NH. WTLLIAMB: Arthur Bennett.
THE CHAIRMAN: One other point, of£street parking would have to
be created for the possible extra tenant. I think a condition
should be that in the event you do use this as a two-family house,
you should, create offstreet parking.
MR. ~ILLIA~: The curb has been cut out.

THE CHAIR_MAN: You said something here in you~ reason...
this is the remainder... Catullo-Allen is to the north.
~R. HA~TON: You made me give 25 ft. i can't keep
giving 25 ft. ~hen I get to the end, I will have nothing.
~2. TERRY, Building Iuspector: ThatZs the one with the
C in cinnat t i dr iveway.
TEE CHAiR~MAN: These tenants, how long have they been
tenants?
LLOYD HAMILT0~: My oldest, ten years.
I~. E~RLiN: ! have No. 3. t rented No. 5, ! also repre-
sent three other potential buyers for Nos. 2, 7 and 9. I am
an attorney, i am buying No. 3.
THE CHALR~L~N: Was it your purpose to eventually come out
here to retire?
I~R. KA~RLIN: The cottages are not winterized.
THE CHA_~{~: One of the first things you would need in
winter is garages, and some of the sideyards are not quite
adequate for garages.
LLOYD FJ~iILTON: ! am almost positive they will never be
year round. ~-hope they will want it kept as I have run it for
20 years.
THE CHAIRMAN: I~m sure they do. You have done a wonderful
Job. It's hard to guess if it will look the same.
P~. H.~MILTON: I have first preference on taking it back.
THE CI~IPJ~J~~: You are telling me that you are going to take
back mortgages on all these properties? (Addressing ~. Karlin)-
He is in no different position; he can'~t tell you what to do
with the property, in the Town of Southold we are proposing to
go 40,000 sq. ft. You have no more than 108,000 sq. ~ft. on this
entire property. Under the new Zoning Ordinance, you would not
be allowed to have more than two residents, ~o what you are
asking for here is considerably more dense; it is even denser
than the old Ordinance- 12,%00 sq. ft.
I~R. KARL/N: %{as there a Zoning Ordinance at the time- 19%07
-16-
THE CF~L~aN~ No, there was not. Z am not saying we should
deny but we have to consider it carefully,$ and if it is granted,
! think there should be conditions as to no Further use oF
sideyards.
)R. F~MiLT~: T~ne extensions are to the east on every one.
THE C~&~_W~$T: Z think what we would be concerned with is
Bailie Beach Road. i am sure when F~. Terry gave you permits
he checked about the interio-_~ of the property. Lot No. 4 is a
tricky one~ This will be common area. They would have jcint
ownership.
MR. F~RLI~ i;~e have tenancy in common. Because off the
12,~00 sq. £t.~ we have to have tenancy in common.
~iq. H~MILTON: It's a pretty big play area.
l~R. K2R~ LI~: That is what makes it attractive to ms.
MR. E~MZLTON: I have been pretty ffussy. It took me a
little while to ffigure the people.
TE CH~.,,IRi~Jff: If anything happens to you?
~R. HAMILTON: i have a chance to take it back. I am not
going to take any old gypsies who come in. ~t my age I want to
sell.
~R. HULSE: Taxes. How will these appear on the tax map?
You have to send a tax bill to somebody.
.MR. TEP=RY: Each lot will be assessed a certai~n amo~mat-
1/gth. it's the same situation down at Raden Shores. ~veryone
is assessed a little bit extra.
MR. tf~tHLI~: Supposing there is a tax lien?
~. H~KfILTON: My wife, daughter, granddaughter will pay them.
THE CHAIRI~N: You have the same problem in certain apartments-
c on d omin iums.
MR. TERRY, Building inspector: It's a cluster.
THE CHAIRMAN: t would like to discuss this with the Town
&ttorney. I am sure there are things I don~t realize that should
be part of the Board's action, i am inclined to favor it. It
would be for your own protection. Maybe the Board of Appeals
could put together an action that might help you. We might
point out some of the pitfalls.
MR. F3~ELIN: A lien has already been pointed out. tt is
being conveyed to all in common. I don:t want to pick up a
debt of someone else. But, this is land, and land tax is not
too great. I kaow Lloyd feels the same way. ~$e have a situation
with respect to water and a co~on well and that well might
eventually have to go out ~uto the recreation area. I understand
that will be deeded to property o~ers in
THE CEAIR3~_~: These are Association problems.
~. EARL~: ~e will form an informal one. There c~u~t be
restrictions~that are unreasonable. ~e might have to go out
there for water and for a ~storage shed/.
THE CEAIR~: The only restriction I would conceive of is
that it remain that way.
MR. EARLIN: He is not going to build any more cabins.
FA~. ~TON: This way it will give them the room they need.
THE CHAIP~: How would you provide for maintenance?
~5{. E2~RL/N: The only maintenance is cutting the grass and
putting up rope for kid's swings, etc. l~. Hamilton has reserved
Lot No. 1. He is going to do it.
THE CHAIRP~: if anything happens to ~. Har~ilton~ you will
work out so~et~~ing else.
~.~. FQki,~T$1~: L~es, I have a neighbor, who lives right near
me ~ who would- do it.
THE CHAIRF~kN: You don~t think ~ything would be used in
the winter.
~. EARL~: I don~t intend to use it in the winter. !~iaybe
person to %uhom I.might sell might sometime in the future.
MR. ~i~ILT0~: They would have to get a new pumping system.
~ney are not constructed for winter. There is no insulation.
I am almost positive that no one i am selling to would consider
it a year round home. What can ! do about people who want to
sign contracts.
~R~ EARL21~: Contracts can all be made ~subject to~.
MR. KkRLIN: How m~ny days after you ~ke your decision is
it appealable, and who do you appeal to?
