Re: Pisacano vs. Southold Zoning Board of Appeals
Dear Mr. Siegel:
I wanted to share with you a recent zoning board decision which reveals the arbitrary and
capricious manner in which the board handled the Pisacano application. The Zoning Board's
decision in the Pisacano matter now give Mr. Pisacano claims for a taking of his property and a
claim for violation of his equal protection rights Wlder the United States Constitution since he has
been treated differently from other owners in similar circumstances.
As you will recall, Mr. Pisacano is the owner of a parcel approximately 73,000 square feet
in area. In its decision the zoning board insisted on "subtracting" from his lot area a portion of his
lot which is property owned by him that provides access to a property located behind his land.
Having thus subtracted the area affected by the right of way, which Mr. Pisacano owns, the board
declared his land was too small and that the reduced lot area of approximately 35,000 square feet
constituted a "de facto rezoning" and he would not be permitted to build a home on it, thus
sterilizing his land.
I draw your attention to two zoning board decisions; one dated before the Pisacano decision
and one dated after the Pisacano decision. These two decisions stand in direct contradiction to the
zoning board's decision in Mr. Pisacano's case.
In Appeal #4423 [prior to Pisacano] the zoning board granted variances to Arthur Foster.
One of the lots created and approved by the planning board and the zoning board was exactly
80,000 square feet in area. However, the zoning board did not subtract the area of a right of
way crossing the property when it approved the lot variances needed.
In Appeal # 5655 [AFTER the Pisacano decision] William and Janice Claudio were
granted variances to take a two acre piece of property and divide it into two one acre lots, each one-
half of the size required by zoning [this reduction in lot size did not, apparently in the opinion of
the zoning board constitute a "de facto rezoning" even though it had made such a statement in the
Pisacano decision when it subtracted the right of way from Mr. Pisacano's property] One of the
lots in the Claudio application included a right of way which was not deducted from the lot
.
.
area.
It is impossible to reconcile the Pisacano decision with the decisions in the Foster and
Claudio approvals. Mr. Pisacano was treated differently, and unfairly from the way in which the
zoning code was interpreted in the other two decisions. There is no rational, reasonable explanation
for this disparate treatment.
I must advise Mr. Pisacano that in light of the arbitrary and capricious manner in which his
property rights were violated, he has a strong case to assert a violation of his federally protected
constitutional rights. What I have presented here, is only a brief description of the conduct of the
zoning board. I have not even touched upon the actions of the planning board staff member who
took every conceivable action to undennine Mr. Pisacano' s applications with respect to this
property. This conduct in conjunction with the zoning board's irrational, and inconsistent
application of the zoning code to Mr. Pisacano should be a cause of serious concern to town
officials.
In this instance there is absolutely no justification for the zoning board's decision. Mr.
Pisacano has been grossly mistreated and I urge your assistance in correcting this injustice without
further court action. I repeat my suggestion that this matter be settled on such terms as we can
reach agreement.

From:

Subject:
Pisacano v. ZBA
Please see the attached decision of Justice Mary Werner of Suffolk
County Supreme Court, ruling in favor of the Town of Southold ZBA and
dismissing Mr. Pisacano's Article 78 petition.
This matter has been somewhat of a procedural morass, extending over
several years and two Court actions, both decided in favor of the Town. The
enclosed decision details that history. The instant action dealt with the ZBA's
denial of an area variance for a 1.7 acre parcel in the R-80 zone, approximately
half of which consisted of a right-of-way. Previously, the ZBA had denied an
application on lot recognition grounds for this remainder parcel left over from a
series of Planning Board-approved lot line changes that were never completed,
but sold off by the prior owner instead.
Following entry of this decision, petitioner must determine whether to
appeal. However, failing a reversal by the Appellate Division, this property may
not be recognized as a building lot, inasmuch as the Planning Board does not
have the authority to create substandard sized lots.

Upon the following papers read on this petition; Notice of Petition and Petition
and Supporting Papers 1.34 and exhibits A.S; Answer; Amended Petition dated August
12. 2005; Answer to Amended Petition 35-69 and exhibits 1-5: Return: Reply; It Is
ORDERED that the petitioner's application for an order pursuant to Article 78 of
the Civil Practice Law and Rules revlewlng, annulling and reversing certain
determinations of the respondent, Town of Southold Zoning Board of Appeals flied
November 8. 2004, is denied and the petition Is dismissed.
In this Article 78 proceeding petitioner seeks a judgment annulling and reversing a
determination by respondent Zoning Board of Appeals of the Town of Southold which
denied petitioner's application for an area variance. The petilion is dismissed.
Petitioner Is the owner of a certain parcel of real property located on the west side of Cox
Neck Road, in the hamlet of Mattituck of the Town of Southold, Suffolk County, New York
which Is Identified by the Suffolk County Tax Map # 1000-113-7-19.11 The parcel which
has a "lot area" of 72,974 square feet Is substandard In the "R-BO" residential zoning
distJict wherein a conforming lot has a minimum area of 80,000 square feet. (Under the
applicable Code the lot area of the parcells only 32,974 as 35,000 feet comprise a
flagstaff 50 foot right of way for adjacent properties, which is not included In lot area).
. The property is presently undeveloped. Petitioner desires 10 improve the property with a
single family dwelling. In 1985. petitioner's predecessor in title, Mr. William Chudlak,
negotiated a division of lot 19.11 into four separate portions to ~e sold to his neighbors to
the east, namely, Welis, Wanat, Zablcky and Becker, whose lots were substandard. Mr.
Chudlak applied 10 the Planning Board for four separat~ lot line changes, which were

approved on December 16, 1965. Approximately 12,500 square feet of lot 19.11 was
conveyed to Wells, Increasing the confonnily of the Wells parcel. In addition,
approximately 18,800 square feet of lot 19.11 was wnveyed to Wanat, also Increasing
the conformity of the Wanat parcel. However, the conveyance ofthe two remaining
portions of lot 19.11 to Zablcky or Becker did not occur and this fact was never
communicated to the Planning Board by Mr. Chudlak. Seven years later, Mr. Chudlak
conveyed the remaining substandard lot of 1.7 acres to petitioner. Petitioner desires to
build a one family home on the subject parcel. Upon application, the Town of Southold
Building Department denied petitioner's proposal on the grounds that the subject parcel
was not a recognized lot pursuant to Southold Town Code !l10Q..24. Petitioner
subsequently applied to the Town of Southold Zoning Board of Appeals (hereinafter
referred to as "the Board') seeking a reversal of the Building Department's
determination. Petitioner's proposal wnslsted of an area of 72,974 square feet; lot width
of 126 feet; lot depth of 320 feet; front yard setback of 155 feet; side yard setback of 35
feet; both side yards of 70 feet and rear yard setback of 155 feet. Following a public
hearing held on July 10, 2003 respondent, denied the application an the basis that the
petitioner's parcel is not a recognized parcel under the Town Zoning Code. Petitioner
commenced an Article 78 proceeding challenging the Board's determination as arbitrary,
capricious and not supported by the substantial evidence on the record. By Decision and
Order dated May 24,2004, the Court (Costello, J.) dismissed the petition.
Following the dismissal of his petition, on August 12, 2004, petitioner, by direct
appeal requested that the Zoning Board of Appeals grant him an area variance pursuant
to Town Law fi 267B and 277(6) and on September 14, 2004 further appealed to the
Zoning Board of Appeals from the Building Department's amended September 14, 2004
Notice of Disapproval denying petitioner's application for a building pen'nlt deted August
12,2004. Following a public hearing held September 14,2004, respondent Southold
Town Zoning Board of Appeals denied petitioners application for an area variance.
A zoning board considering a request for an area variance Is required, pursuant to
Town Law S 267-b[3][b], to engage In a balancing test, weighing the benefit to the.
applicant against the detriment to the health, safety and welfare of the neighborhood or
community if the area variance is granted. The zoning board Is also required to consider
whether (1 ) an undesirable change will be produced In the character of the neighborhood
or a detriment to nearby properties will be created by the granting of the area variance;
(2) the benefit BOught by the applicent can be achieved by some method, feasible for the
applicant to pursue, other than an area variance; (3) the requested area variance Is
substantial; (4) the proposed variance will have an adverse effect or impact on the
physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood or district and (5) the alleged
difficulty was self-created. While the last factor is not dispositive. neither is It irrelevant
(Ifalz v. UtsclzlQ. 98 N.Y.2d 304,746 N.Y.S.2d 667 [2002]).
Local zoning boards have broad discretion in considering applications for

variances and the judicial function In reviewing such decisions is a limited one. Courts
may set aside a zoning detennlnation only where the record reveals that the board acted
Illegally or arbitrarily, or abused its discretion, or that It merely succumbed to the
generalized community pressure. A detennlnatlon of a zoning board should be sustained
on judicial review if it has a rational basis and Is supported by substantial evidence
(Pecoraro v. Board of ApDeal of the Town of Hemostead. 2 N.Y.3d 608, 781 N.Y.S.2d
234 [2004]). .
Here, the record establishes that the Board properly applied Town Law!i 267-
b[3)[b] in considering petitioner's application for an area variance. Furthennore, Its
determination denying petitioner's application for an area variance was not arbitrary and
capricious, was supported by the substantial evidence, and had a rational basis ~
Pari< Estates v. Trotta, 283 A.D.2d 429,723 N.Y.S.2d 885 [2001]; Budget Estates v. Ruth.
203 A.D.2d 287,610 N.Y.S.2d 69 [1994]). Based upon the entire record before It, and
balancing all the factors established, Including Its finding that petitioner's difficulty was
self-created by his purchase of an un-buildable lot, the Zoning Board of Appeals could
rationally find that consideration of these factors outweighed the benefit sought by the
petitioner, and Its detennination denying the requested variance was not arbitrary and
capricious (Ifrah v. Utschla, supra).
Accordingly, the petition Is denied and the proceeding is dismissed.

FINDINGS. DELISERA nONS AND DECISION
Meeting of October 7, 2004
ZBA File No. 5588 - Michael Pisacano
Property Location: 1457 Cox Neck Road, Mattituck - CTM No. 113-7-19.11

SEQRA DETERMINATION: The Zoning Board of Appeals has visited the property under
consideration in this application and determines that this review falls under the Type II category of
the State's List of Actions, without an adverse effect on the environment if the project is
implemented as planned.
FINDINGS OF FACT
The Zoning Board of Appeals held a public hearing on this application on September 14, 2004, at
which time written and oral evidence were presented. Based upon all testimony, documentation,
personal inspection of the property, and other evidence, the Zoning Board finds the following facts
to be true and relevant:
PROPERTY FACTS/DESCRIPTION: The applicant's survey dated September 29, 1999, last revised
August 6, 2003 by Joseph A. Ingegno, L.S., shows the property is vacant, with 51.31 ft. frontage
along the west side of Cox Neck Road in Mattltuck, and with a total land area of 72,974 sq. ft.,
inclusive of 50 ft. wide right-of-way easement areas. The property is located In the R.aO Low-Density
Residential Zone District.
FIRST AND SECOND BASIS OF APPEAL APPLICATION: (A) On August 12, 2004, a request for an
area variance, based on a direct appeal under New York Town Law Section 277(6), requesting the
creation of an undersized lot, based on the applicant's land being the remainder of property left after
lot line changes In 1985 in the Immediate area, and (B) on September 14, 2004, a request for an area
variance, based on an appeal of the Building Department's amended September 14, 2004 Notice of
Disapproval, which denied an application for a building permit dated August 31, 2004 to construct a
new single family dwelling, on the grounds that the bulk schedule requires a minimum lot size of
80,000 square feet.
DIRECT APPEAL REQUEST: The applicant has requested a direct appeal under Section 277(6) of
New York Town Law, however, it is noted that Section 277(6) applies only where a subdivision plat
contains one or more lots which do not comply with the zoning regulations. The applicant's
property Is not shown on a plat showing lots, blocks or sites, with or without streets or highways, or
a plat already flied in the office of the Suffolk county clerk. Therefore, the Board proceeds to the
jurisdiction for applicant's requested area variance, based on the Building Department's amended
September 14, 2004 Notice of Disapproval.
AREA VARIANCE REQUEST: The applicant requests an area variance under New York Town law,
Section 267B concerning a land area consisting of 72,974 sq. ft., instead of the code required 80,000
square feet.
REASONS FOR BOARD ACTION: Based upon all testimony, documentation, personal inspection of
the property, and other evidence, the Zoning Board finds the following facts to be true and relevant:
1. Grant of an area variance will produce an undesirable change in the character of the
neighborhood or a detriment to nearby properties. The requested area variance involves a proposed

parcel area of 37,974 sq. ft., out of 72,974 square feet of the total property. The right-of-way and/or
easement areas consist of at least 35,000 sq. ft., which Is not permitted under the code to be
Included for building or density calculations Involving creation of a lot under Ch. 106 of the Town
Code. Testimony was also received from neighborhood residents, who expressed concerns for a
change In the essential quality of the neighborhood and the de-valuation of the nearby residential
premises. Impacts from substantial filling of the applicant's property and regarding near adjacent
rlght-of-ways and other neighboring land would result and the applicant has not offered expert
testimony to the contrary. The board notes that the purpose of the R-80 Low-D_lty Residential
District Is to provide the open rural environment so highly valued by year-round rasldents and those
persons who support the Town of Southold's recreation, resort and second-home economy. The
economic, social and aesthetic benefits which can be obtained for all citizens by limiting loss of
such areas are well documented and have Inspired a host of governmental programs designed, with
varying degrees of success, to achieve this result. At the same time, the town has an obligation to
exercise Its authority to reasonably regUlate the subdivision and development of land to further the
same purposes.
2. The relief as requestad Is substantial. Although the total area owned by applicant Is 72,974 sq. ft.,
only 37,974 sq. ft. Is applicable as a single parcel for a dwelling. The 37,794 sq. ft. area meets only
52% of the code required 80,000 sq. ft.
3. No evidence has been submitted to Indicate that the proposed lot size variance will not have an
adverse Impact on physical or environmental conditions In the neighborhood. Concerns were rslsed
at the hearing with regard to the need to fill the applicant's property and to re-grede the land, and the
creation of flooding Into other land areas due to altaratlons In re-grsdlng activities. The land Is
contoured, and contains a large depression below grade level which acts as natural drainage for
surrounding lands.
4. The dlfftculty for the applicant Is self-created. The property was sold and acquired wtthout
obtaining a building permit or other town approval for a slngilt.famlly dwelling, and with knowledge
of the appllceble R-80 Residential Zoning District.
5. To grant the substantial relief as requested results In a de facto zoning change to less than the
code required 80,000 sq. ft. In this R-80 Residential Zone District.
6. This determination does not affect any prior determination by the Zoning Board of Appeals with
respect to the subject property relating to Issues not before the Zoning Board on this application.
RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD: In considering all of the above factors and applytng the balancing
tast under New York Town Law 267-B, motion was offered by Chairwoman Oliva, seconded by
Member Tortora, to
DENY the variance, as applied for.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Members Oliva (Chairwoman), Goehrlnger and Tortora. Nays: Oriando and
Dlnlzlo. This Resolution was duly adoptf!l3i). _

Zoning Board of Appeals
Application of Michael Pisacano -
for lot area variance permitting lot area of 72,974 sq. ft.
instead of 80,000 sq. ft.
Property-
SCTM No.: 1000-113-7-19.11
Cox Neck Road, Mattituck
OPPOSITION
I am submitting to the you all kinds of documents and maps
relating to this application.
On December 16, 1985 the Planning Board approved four
separate applications by William Chudiak for lot line changes to
in effect subdivide a 2.39 acre parcel so that the majority of the
parcel would be merged into and become part of four existing
lots and the remaining portion would be a deeded right of way.
The applicant was to sell 8,800 sq. ft. to my in-laws, 12,500 sq.
ft. to me, 12,500 sq. ft. to Becker, and 25,000 sq. ft. to
Zabicky/Siderakis leaving a right of way containing 35,474 sq.
1
.
.
ft. A condition of the lot line approvals was that the existing lots
with houses would merge with the new property to be added by
the lot line change and that only one residence would be
permitted on the newly created merged lots. Thereafter, Chudiak
sold 8,800 sq. ft. to my in-laws, and 12,500 sq. ft. to me, but as I
understand it, refused to sell 12,500 sq. ft. to Becker, and 25,000
sq. ft. to Zabicky/Siderakis, although both Becker and
Zabicky/Siderakis were ready to buy the land and complete the
lot line change. On 8/27/02 Chudiak sold this land to the
applicant for $81,000.
I believe both Chudiak's completion of the lot line changes with
me and my in-laws combined with his failure to complete the lot
line changes with Becker and Zabicky/Siderakis is an illegal
subdivision of land and that the entire parcel that applicant now
owns is an illegally created lot. I also believe the effect of the
Planning Board approvals, for zoning purposes, was to create
four new lots. So, even though Chudiak did not sell to Becker or
Zabicky/Siderakis, for zoning purposes the land owned by
Becker and Zabicky/Siderakis merged with the land owned by
Chudiak. For zoning purposes, I believe the Town should only
recognize as building lots the existing parcel owned by Becker
2
.
.
together with the 12,500 sq, ft. owned by the applicant that was
to be sold to Becker and the existing parcel owned by
Zabicky/Siderakis together with the 25,000 sq, ft. owned by the
applicant that was to be sold to Zabicky/Siderakis. The
remaining part of the applicant's land is a deeded right of way
that can not be built on.
To my Knowledge, Chudiak never applied to the Planning
Board to unmerge the newly created lots or to annul the prior
approvals. Therefore, I believe the property owned by the
applicant is not a lot recognized by the town and can not be built
on period. The building department was correct in refusing to
issue a building permit. The applicant needs the Planning Board
to create a legal lot and he should be before them and not you.
Now as I understand it, this Board reached the same conclusion
in the prior application by the applicant and when he sued, the
supreme court agreed with this board dismissing his lawsuit. So
I am actually wondering how or why the applicant is back here
seeking a variance for a lot that is not recognized by the Town. I
just don't think the zoning board can grant the variance
3
,
.
.
requested. The zoning board can not legalize this lot by granting
.
an area varIance.
However, assuming for argument sake that the applicant did
have a lot recognized by the town and this board could grant a
variance, the applicant is not entitled to a variance anyway. I
have reviewed the application submitted by the applicant. He
indicated that the town law requires the zoning board to consider
certain factors in reviewing this application. I will review these
factors with you.
. . .
The board must consider whether the relief requested is
substantial. The applicant says no claiming that the so-called lot
has 72,974 sq. ft. and therefore the applicant only needs a
variance of7,026 sq. ft. or about 10% relief. However, of the
72,974 sq, ft., 35,474 sq. ft. comprises a 50 ft. wide deeded right
of way which appears on the tax map. The town code defines
lot area as that area of a lot less any portion within a public or
private right of way. Therefore, the applicant is actually seeking
a variance for a lot with 37,500 sq. ft. That means the applicant
is seeking a variance of 42,500 sq. ft. or relief of over 50%. In
my opinion the actual relief the applicant needs is substantial.
4
.
.
The board must also consider whether the variance would have
an adverse impact on the physical or environmental conditions
in the neighborhood or be a detriment to nearby properties. The
subject property is well below the grade of the property it
adjoins. In order to be developed it would require that a kettle
hole be filled and the right of way leading to the property be
raised. Currently, the natural contours of the land surrounding
the subject property results in water run off all leading to the
below grade portions of the subject property. Granting the
variance permitting construction on a substandard lot will result
in terrible flooding for all adjoining property owners.
The board must also consider whether the benefit sought by the
applicant can be achieved by some feasible method other than a
variance. The applicant says no, claiming the property is "left
over land from Planning Board action in 1985" and that the
applicant purchased a buildable lot, that he paid a lot for it, and
is now suffering financially because he cannot build on it. This
factor should not be given any weight by this board. Contrary to
the applicant's misrepresentation, this property is not a legal
building lot. Would or should this board give a lot area variance
5
II
,
.
to someone who purchased an illegally created substandard lot. I
think the answer is no.
,
.
The board must also consider whether the alleged difficulty is
self created. The applicant says no stating that the property was
purchased with clean title and a pending approval for
construction. He also falsely states that the lot was created by
the Planning Board. He goes on to state that no one knew or
believed that this lot was not an approved lot when he bought it.
This property was not a lot created by the Planning Board and
therefore the property was not a legal lot when the applicant
bought it. Now, as I understand it, the applicant and his family
are land speculators and are experienced in buying property and
then developing them or flipping them. Therefore, I believe he
knew or should have known that the lot was not buildable.
Now, I also understand, he bought it for $81,000., halfofwhat
building lots were selling for at the time. Perhaps he was taking
a calculated risk that he could get a building permit. It is also my
understanding that it is customary to make vacant land sales
contracts conditional upon the buyer obtaining a building permit
prior to closing. Obviously he did not obtain one. Regardless of
whether the applicant gambled, was duped, did not do his
6
~
.
.
. .
homework, or had an inexperienced attorney represent him, he
purchased property he could not build on and therefore the
hardship was self created.
The applicant also states that the variance requested is the
minimum variance practicable because the only way he can
request less relief would be to buy additional land to make the
lot bigger and that me and my in-laws would not sell the land
back to him. First, the applicant has never asked to buy the land
back and second he would need approval from the Planning
Board to un-do the original lot line change or to do a new lot
line change.
The applicant further stated in his application that you must
perform a balancing test balancing the benefit to the applicant
against the detriment to the health safety and welfare of the
community. The relief requested is substantial, development will
result in flooding to adjoining properties, and the hardship was
self created. I believe that these factors lead to the conclusion
that the detriment to the health safety and welfare of the
community outweighs the benefit to the applicant. The variance
should therefore be denied.

'.
I'm almost done. I completed the lot line change process with
Chudiak because I thought I was buying both additional land
and the security of knowing that no homes would ever be built
on that property. I relied in good faith that chudiak would fulfill
his promise by completing the lot line change with Becker and
Zabicky/Siderakis. The Town should be mindful of this. I
remind you and I will remind the Planning Board should the
applicant seek relief there.
In conclusion, the subject property is not a legally recognized lot
by the town. The applicant however is asking this board to grant
this lot legal status by granting an area variance. Only the
Planning Board can do that and therefore, the applicant must go
to the Planning Board for that relief. Then and only then can the
applicant return to this Board to seek a lot area variance. It is
then, and only then, that this board can consider the area
variance sought here.

Memorandum
To: Ruth Oliva, Chairwoman
Members of the Zoning Board of Appeals
From: Jerilyn B. Woodhouse, Chairwoman JP.>vJ/v5
Re: Recommendation on ZBA Appeal # 5588
Pisacano, SCTM # 1000-113-7-19.11
Date: September 14, 2004
This memorandum is in response to your request for recommendations on the
above-noted application.
The Appeal
The applicant, Michael Pisacano, acquired this property. The Town's tl1x records
note this transaction occurred on Auoust 27. 2002. Mr. Pisacano has applied for
a grant of relief pursuant to Town Law 277 (6) so as to permit the creation of an
undersized (72,974 square foot) lot in an R-80 zoning district (80,000 square foot
minimum) for the purpose of being allowed to construct a new residential
dwelling unit.
Backoround and Intent
The Planning Board records contain an Auoust 13, 2001 Memorandum to the
File. This memo was written after a specific query by a neighbor who found out
that the property was for sale triggered a meeting with the Building Department
and the Town Attorney's office. It reflects research and discussions with the
Town Attorney's office as to the status of the subject property. The contents of
that memorandum are summarized here.
In 1985, the Planning Board, at the request of the former owner (William
Chudiak), agreed to permit four separate lot line applications with the stated
collective intent of enlarging four existing, adjacent, non-conforming lots. In each
resolution of approval, the Planning Board took pains to state that its approval
was subject to conditions that the property be, in each case:
.
.
"conveyed to and merged with the contiguous house lot to the East,.. .and
that only one (1) residence together with accessory structures may be
constructed and maintained upon the two parcels which will become
merged into one.. .and that the above covenants and restrictions be
included in the deed and on the survey map for the lot line change."
As explained in the August 13, 2001 memorandum, which is attached and
incorporated into this memorandum, the public record clearly shows and
documents the patent intent of the property owner (Chudiak), the clear
understanding of that intent by his attorney (De Petris), and, perhaps most
importantlv. the equally clear understanding of that intent by the immediate
neighbors to the east who wanted to enlarge their non-conforming lots through a
lot line modification, acquisition and merger. Throughout the record, all parties:
the property owner, the attorney, the Town and the neighbors; understood and
agreed that the purpose of the lot-line applications before the Planning Board
was to eliminate the potential to build another residence on the Chudiak parcel, a
part of which is now the subject of Mr. Pisacano's appeal.
This understanding was re-iterated by former Planning Board Chairman Bennett
Orlowski, Jr. in a memorandum to former Zoning Board Chairwoman, Lydia
Tortora, on April 1, 2003, a copy of which is attached as well. Mr. Orlowski was
Chairman of the Planning Board at the time the four lot line amendments were
adopted by the Planning Board.
Other Issues
The applicant has requested the Zoning Board to act in accordance with Section
277.6. which states "Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, where
a plat contains one or more lots which do not comply with the zoning regulations,
application may be made to the zoning board of appeals for an area variance."
The phrase "plat" carries a certain meaning in New York State Town law. As
defined in Section 276. 4. Definitions, the term, final plat, means "a drawing
prepared in a manner prescribed by local regulation, that shows a proposed
subdivision "
That same section of State Town Law defines the term "subdivision" as meaning
'1he division of any parcel of land into a number of lots. . .as specified in a local
ordinance, law, rule or regulation, with or without streets or highways, for the
purpose of sale, transfer of ownership, or development. The term "subdivision"
may include an alteration of lot lines or dimensions of any lots or sites shown on
a plat previously approved and filed in the office of the county clerk. .. in which
such plat is located. "
The Planning Board's lot-line resolutions in 1985 had the effect of re-subdividing
a parcel of land created by earlier subdivision actions with the end result that the
.
.
land comprising that parcel was to be merged with four adjacent pre-existing lots
with residential dwellings.
Section 277.6. states 'Where a plat contains one or more lots which do not
comply with the zoning regulations, application may be made...". It can be
argued that the Planning Board's resolutions in 1985 created plats that would
reduce the then-existing non-conformity of existing lots by eliminating a parcel
and merging the acreage with those lots. The Planning Board's resolutions were
intended, as desired by the then owner and neighbors, to eliminate the possibility
of constructing another residential dwelling on the property that is the subject of
this appeal. The Planning Board did not create a plat describing the property that
is the subject of this appeal.
Additional Analvsis and Conclusions
The subject property of this appeal is 72,974 square feet in area, of which
35,662.5 feet is encumbered by a right-of-way easement. As a result, the actual
area of the subject property that could be used for building purposes is 37,311.5
square feet in area. The property that is the subject of this appeal contains a
natural ravine that functions to collect storm water runoff from the surrounding
area: the elevation drops from 58 to 41 feet in a distance of approximately 200
feet.
The public record seems to indicate that the original property owner, the owner's
attorney and the neighbors were of one mind when the four lot line applications
we~~ submitted to the Planning Board in 1985. The intent was to eliminate the
possibility of constructing another residence by diViding the original parcel into
(our pieces, each of which was to be merged with an adjacent pre-existing lot to
the east.
Nearly twenty years later, only two of the transactions to adjacent neighbors have
taken place. It is not clear why the remaining transactions did not take place, nor
whether the remaining two transactions to adjoining property owners still could
take place, either as originally intended or in some modified form that ensures
that no additional residence is ever constructed on the subject property.
Answering these questions will be crucial to determining whether a hardship
exists in this appeal. While these questions normally would lie outside the
Planning Board's jurisdiction, Town Law 277.6 states: "In reviewing such
application the zoning board of appeals shall request the planning board to
provide a written recommendation conceming the proposed variance."
Recommendation
The applicant sought relief from this Board, from the Zoning Board of Appeals
and the State Supreme Court during the years 2002 through 2004, and has not
been successful. The Supreme Court decision affirmed the Town's position and
the petitioner's yet unproved burden "to establish beyond a reasonable doubt
.
.
that he has been deprived of any use of the property to which it is reasonably
adapted." (Pisacano v. Town of Southold Zoning Board of Appeals Index No. 03-
26136, attached). Throughout this time, the position of the Planning Board, that
this is not a building lot, has remained unchanged.
The question considered by the Planning Board was whether the evidence
before it merited a change in this position, which should not be confused with the
question before the Zoning Board, of whether relief should be granted. In
reviewing the records, the Board did not find any reason to change its position.
The Board's intent in processing these lot line changes was evident in the
minutes, the correspondence from the original owner's attorney, statements or
letters by the owners of the adjoining properties and the resolutions that attended
those actions.
This recommendation was adopted by a 4-0 vote. One member was absent.

Memorandum to the File
Date: August 13, 2001
Re: Chudiak Property located in Mattituck on West side of Cox Neck Road,
Mattituck, NY
SCTM # 1000-113-7-19.11, formerly part of 113-7-12.
From: Valerie Scopaz, AICP, Town Planne~ .
This memorandum was written in response to a query regarding the status of the
Subject lot, noted above. The question before the Town was whether said lot
was a recognized building lot. This memorandum presents the history of the
parcel as ascertained from the Planning Board's records.
,/
/
/
In 1984, William Chudiak, through his attorney, Emil De Petris, app,'idd to the
Planning Board to set-off two separate building lots from his farm. /The set-off
of concern to us in this instance is the 80,000 square foot lot that was to be
accessed by way of a 50' private right of way from Cox Neck Road. This lot was
subsequently acquired by Mr. and Mrs. Kevin Milowski. The lot did not have
road frontage on a public street, thus was required to obtain a variance from
Section 280A of Town Law for access. On June 13, 1984, the ZBA granted
access subject to four conditions, one of which stated that
"Any future subdivision or set-off past this parcel along this or
any other right of way will require re-application and consideration
by this board for appropriate 280A access consideration (or the
Planning Board if same fa/ls within their purview):
(A copy of the ZBA decision is attached.)
Subsequently, in October of 1985, Mr. Chudiak, again through his attorney Emil
DePetris, submitted four separate lot line applications to effect a merging of land
between the aforementioned right-of-way and existing lots facing Cox Neck
Road, of which there were four: Wanat, Wells, Becker, and Zabicky, (later known
as Siderakis). On December 16,1985, the Planning Board voted to approve the
lot line amendments between Chudiak and each of the aforesaid property
owners.
,-t
"
,J
.))
))
.
It appears that some of the neighboring property owners were not prepared or in
the position to acquire the additional property at the time of the lot-line
applications. The Planning Board approval was subject to conditions that the
property of Chudiak be, in each case
"conveyed to and merged with the contiguous house lot
to the East,..... .and that only one (1) residence together
with accessory structures may be constructed and
maintained upon the two parcels which will become
merged into one.. ..and that the above covenants and
restrictions be included in the deed and on the survey
map for the lot line change"
The approval letter went on to note that the Chairman of the Planning Board
would endorse the approval upon receipt of the final surveys as required.
(A copy of the approval letters is attached.)
A hand-written note in one of the files indicates that Mr. De Petris stated that all
lots will be sold, and that ZaJicky was not prepared to buy, but that Neudack
could buy her parcel. The note goes on to state "they are agreeable to C&Rs
that the conveyed property will merge and not have any residences."
Further, there is a letter in one of the files dated April 13, 1988, addressed to the
Planning Board from Nicholas Kordas, attorney for Lambros and Matrona
Siderakis, who had acquired the Zabicky property in 1982. The letter states that
the Siderakis' are aware of the terms of the lot-line amendment and are "ready
and willing to acqJ1fre the vacant land adjacent to their premises". The attorney
also sent a letter to Mr. Chudiak expressing his clients' readiness to proceed. A
copy of those li:ters are attached as well.
I discussed this matter with the Planning Board at its work session of Monday,
August 6th. Two of the members present were on the Board during 1985, and
they emphasized that the intent of the lot line applications was to merge land to
expand the size of existing lots: not to cresie new building lots. The record
indicates that the subject lot of this memo, 19.11, was intended to be merged
with two adjoining lots, and not to be retained for sale as a building lot at some
future date.

Appeal #5264
The Planning Board did not authorize the creation of this parcel as a separate building
lot. The Planning Board, by request of the owner, intended to allow the property owner
to sell his property in four separate parcels to adjacent property owners for the purpose
of merging with pre-existing lots. The owner never requested any single and separate
lots to be created by the Planning Board. The Planning Board never created any new
lots by this resolution; they just enlarged the old existing lots. And, from my
understanding, two of the parcels created were transferred immediately to the bordering
neighbors and we were told the two remaining parcels were to be transferred shortly.

This is an Article 78 proceeding brought to annul, vacate, or set aside a determination of
the Respondent Town of South old Board of Zoning Appeals, dated September 11,2003, which
denied petitioner Michael Pisacano's application to reverse the Notice of Disapproval issued by
the Building Department. The petition is denied.
Petitioner is the owner of a substandard parcel located in an R-80' low density Residential
District which is located along the west side of Cox Neck Road in the village of Matti tuck, Town
of Southold, Coooty of Suffolk, New York. Petitioner acquired the subject parcel on or about
August 27,2002. The subject parcel is recognized by tax map number 1000-113-7-19.11
(hereinafter referred to as "lot 19.11"). The parcel is ooimproved with a fifty foot flagstaffstrip
which is encumbered by a right of way for adjacent properties to access Cox Neck Road.
In 1985, petitioner's predecessor in title, Mr. William Chudiak, negotiated a division of
lot 19.11 into four separate portions to be sold to his neighbors to the east, namely, Wells, Wanat,
Zabicky and Becker, whose lots were substandard. Mr. Chudiak applied to the Planning
I R-80 is a low density residential district, requiring a total area dimension of 80,000 sq.
ft. or two acres to qualify for a building permit.
Board for four separa.t line changes, which were approved ceecember 16, 1985.
Approximately 12,500 square feet oflot 19.11 was conveyed to Wells, increasing the conformity
of the Wells parcel. In addition, approximately 18,800 square feet oflot 19.11 was conveyed to
Wanat, also increasing the conformity of the Wanat parcel. However, the conveyance of the two
remaining portions oflot 19.11 to Zabicky or Becker did not occur and this fact was never
communicated to the Planning Board by Mr. Chudiak. Seven years later, Mr. Chudiak conveyed
the remaining substandard lot of 1. 7 acres to petitioner.
Petitioner desires to build a one family home on the subject parcel. Upon application, the
Town of Southold Building Department denied petitioner's proposal on the grounds that the
subj ect parcel w:lS not a recognized lot pursuant to Southold Town Code 1/100-24. Pursuant to
9100-24,
A. A lot created by deed or town approval shall be recognized by
the town if anyone of the following standards apply and if the lots
have not merged:
(I) The identical lot was created by deed recorded in the
Su+folk County Clerk's office on or before June 30, 1983, and the
lot conformed to the minimum lot requirement(s) set forth in Bulk
ScheduleAA(2) as of the date oflot creation.
(2) The lot(s) in question is/are approved by the Southold
Town Planning Board.
(3) The lot(s) in question is/are shown on a subdivision
map approved by the Southold Town Board prior to June 30, 1983.
(4) The lot(s) in question is/are approved and/orrecognized
by formal action of the Board of Appeals prior to June 30, 1983.
Petitioner subsequently applied to the Town of Southold Zoning Board of Appeals
(hereinafter referred to as "the Board") seeking a reversal of the Building Department's
determination. Petitioner's proposal consists of an area of 72,974 square feet; lot width of 126
feet; lot depth of320 feet; front yard setback of 155 feet; side yard setback of35 feet; both side
yards of70 feet and rear yard setback of 155 feet? Following a hearing on July 10,2003,
Z The required lot width for a parcel in the R-80 residential district is 175 feet; lot depth -
250 feet; front yard setback. 60 feet; side yard setback. 20 feet; both side yards. 45 feet; and
rear yard setback - 75 feet.
respondent, in a determination dated September 11,2003, denied the application by operation of
Town Law 9267-a(I_), whereby a majority vote cannot be eined to grant a variance or
appeal. Petitioner co~enced the instant Article 78 proceeding challenging the Board's
determination as arbitrary, capricious and not supported by substantial evidence on the record.
A Zoning Board of Appeals has the primary jurisdiction of interpreting the applicable
zoning ordinance (see, Thurman v Holahan, 123 AD2d 687,507 NYS2d 52 (1986]; Van
Deusen v Jackson, 35 AD2d 58,312 NYS2d 853,1970, aff'd 28 NY2d 608 (1971]). It is
axiomatic that a local zoning board is entrusted with a reasonable measure of discretion in the
interpretation of its own ordinances and that the judicial function in reviewing the borad's
decision is a limited one. Accordingly, a board's determination should not be cast aside unless
there is a showing of illegality, arbitrariness or an abuse of discretion (RichardDudyshyn Contr.
Co. v Zoning Bd. of Appeals, 255 AD2d 445,680 NYS2d 571 [1998], ci.tiIqMatter of Bock/s v
Kayser, I 12AD2d 222,491 NYS2d 438 [1985]; see also Town of Huntington v Five Towns
College Real Prop. Trust, 293 AD2d 467,740 NYS2d 107 [2002]).
The record reveals that since the lot line changes took effect in 1985, subsections 1,3
and 4 of the Southold Town Code 9 100-24 are inapplicable to the instant matter. In addition,
petitioner's contention that the Planning Board's approval of the proposed lot line changes in
1985 automatically made lot 19.11 a legal building lot is untenable. Such approval results in a
modification of the zoning regulations, only if the Town Board has empowered the Planning
Board to modifY them by general or special rule and only to the extent and within the limitations
prescribed by such rule (Johnson v Moore, 13AD2d 984,216 NYS2d 740 (19611). Here,
petitioner has failed to demonstrate that the Planning Board is duly authorized under the
Southold Town Code to effect any modification of the regulations. Thus, the Board's
determination that lot 19.11 is not a recognized parcel under the subject ordinance was not
illegal, arbitrary, or an abuse of discretion.
/"
Petitioner further allegestl-lat theJoard violated Town Law s267-a(8). However,
pursuant to New York Town Lav! S267Jil(2), the Board's failure to file its decision with the town
clerk within five days affects the comencement of the 30-day statute oflimitations for a
petitioner (Cuyle v TownBd., 301 AD2d 838,753 NYS2d 613 [2003]), which is not dispositive
here.
Turning to petitioner's constitutional claim, the court rejects petitioner's contention that
the Board's interpretation of Town Code S 1 00-24 amounts to a confiscatory action by the Town,
depriving petitioner of his property without just compensation. It is well settled that in order to
establish that an unconstitutional taking has occurred, a landowner must prove that the subject
property cannot yield an economically reasonable return as zoned (see,LouJean Properties Ene,
v Town of Oyster Buy, 160AD2d 797,553 NYS2d 835 [1990]; see also, De St. Auh/n v Flacke,
68 NY2d 66, 505 NYS2d 859 [19861). Significantly, the burden rests with the petitioner to
establis() beyond a reasonable doubt that he has been deprived of any use of the property to which
.
it is rea,onably adapt~, DeStAubin vFlacke, supra,at .7; DCM Realty Corp. v
Islip, 162 AD2d 49S,Wi NYS2d 696 (1990]), Here, the petitioner has failed to discharge this
burden.
Accordingly the petition is denied and the proceeding is dismissed.
Submit Judgment.

Re: Recommendation on ZBA Appeal # 55 8
Pisacano, SCTM # 1000-113-7-19.11
Date: September 10, 2004
This memorandum has been prepared to assist the Planning Board in
considering how to respond to the Zoning Board of Appeals' request for
recommendations on the above-noted application.
The Aooeal
The applicant, Michael Pisacano, acquired this property. The Town's tax records
note this transaction occurred on Auqust 27.2002. Mr. Pisacano has applied for
a grant of relief pursuant to Town Law 277 (6) so as to permit the creation of an
undersized (72,974 square foot) lot in an R-80 zoning district (80,000 square foot
minimum) for the purpose of being allowed to construct a new residential
dwelling unit.
Backqround and Intent
The Planning Board records contain an Auqust 13. 2001 Memorandum to the
File. This memo was written after a specific query by a neighbor who found out
that the property was for sale triggered a meeting with the Building Department
and the Town Attomey's office. It reflects research and discussions with the
Town Attomey's office as to the status ofthe subject property. The contents of
that memorandum are summarized here.
In 1985, the Planning Board, at the request of the former owner (William
Chudiak), agreed to permit four separate lot line applications with the stated
collective intent of enlarging four existing, adjacent, non-conforming lots. In each
resolution of approval, the Planning Board took pains to state that its approval
was subject to conditions that the property be, in each case:
"conveyed to and merged with the contiguous house lot to the East, .. .and
that only one (1) residence together with accessory structures may be
constructed and maintained upon the two parcels which will become
merged into one. . .and that the above covenants and restrictions be
included in the deed and on the survey map for the lot line change. "
As explained in the August 13, 2001 memorandum, which is attached and
incorporated into this memorandum, the publiC record clearly shows and
documents the patent intent of the property owner (Chudiak), the clear
understanding ofthat intent by his attorney (De Petris), and, perhaps most
importantlv. the equally clear understanding of that intent by the immediate
neighbors to the east who wanted to enlarge their non-confurming lots through a
lot line modification, acquisition and merger. Throughout the record, all parties:
the property owner, the attorney, the Town and the neighbors; understand and
agree that the purpose of the lot-line applications before the Planning Board is to
eliminate the potential to build another residence on the Chudiak parcel, a part of
which is now the subject of Mr. Pisacano's appeal.
This understanding was re-iterated by former Planning Board Chairman Bennett
Orlowski, Jr. in a memorandum to former Zoning Board Chairwoman, Lydia
Tortora, on April 1, 2003, a copy of which is attached as well. Mr. Orlowski was
Chairman of the Planning Board at the time the four lot line amendments were
adopted by the Planning Board.
Other Issues
The applicant has requested the Zoning Board to act in accordance with Section
277.6. which states "Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, where
a plat contains one or more lots which do not comply with the zoning regulations,
application may be made to the zoning board of appeals for an area variance."
The phrase .plar carries a certain meaning in New York State Town law. As
defined in Section 276. 4. Definitions, the term, final plat, means "a drawing
prepared in a manner prescribed by local regulation, that shows a proposed
subdivision .
That same section of State Town Law defines the term .subdivision" as meaning
"the division of any parcel of land into a number of lots.. .as specified in a local
ordinance, law, rule or regulation, with or without streets or highways, for the
purpose of sale, transfer of ownership, or development. The term "subdivision"
may include an alteration of lot lines or dimensions of any lots or sites shown on
a plat previously approved and filed in the office of the county cleric... in which
such plat is located. "
The Planning Board's lot-line resolutions in 1985 had the effect of re-subdividing
a parcel of land created by earlier subdivision actions with the end result that the
"M__
.
.
land comprising that parcel was to be merged with four adjacent pre-existing lots
with residential dwellings.
Section 277 .6. states Where a plat contains one or more lots which do not
comply with the zoning regulations, application may be made. ..". It can be
argued that the Planning Board's resolutions in 1985 created plats that would
reduce the then-existing non-conformity of existing lots by eliminating a parcel
and merging the acreage with those lots. The Planning Board's resolutions were
intended, as desired by the then owner and neighbors, to eliminate the possibility
of constructing another residential dwelling on the property that is the subject of
this appeal. The Planning Board did not create a plat describing the property that
is the subject of this appeal.
Additional Analvsis and Conclusions
The subject property of this appeal is 72,974 square feet in area, of which
35,662.5 feet is encumbered by a right-of-way easement. As a result, the actual
area of the subject property that could be used for building purposes is 37,311.5
square feet in area. The property that is the subject of this contains a natural
ravine that functions to collect storm water runoff from the surrounding area: the
elevation drops from 58 to 41 feet in a distance of approximately 200 feet.
The public record seems to indicate that the original property owner, the owner's
attorney and the neighbors were of one mind when the four lot line applications
were submitted to the Planning Board in 1985. The intent was to eliminate the
possibility of constructing another residence by dividing the original parcel into
four pieces, each of which was to be merged with an adjacent pre-existing lot to
the east.
Nearly twenty years later, only two of the transactions to adjacent neighbors have
taken place. It is not clear why the remaining transactions did not take place, nor
whether the remaining two transactions to adjoining property owners still could
take place, either as originally intended or in some modified form that ensures
that no additional residence is ever constructed on the subject property.
Answering these questions will be crucial to determining whether a hardship
exists in this appeal. While these questions normally would lie outside the
Planning Board's jurisdiction, Town Law 277.6 states: "In reviewing such
application the zoning board of appeals shall request the planning board to
provide a written recommendation conceming the proposed variance."
Recommendation
The applicant sought relief from this Board, from the Zoning Board of Appeals
and the State Supreme Court during the years 2002 through 2004, and has not
been successful. The Supreme Court decision affirming the Town's position and
the petitioner's yet unproved burden" to establish beyond a reasonable doubt
that he has been deprived of any use of the property to which it is reasonably
adapted." (Pisacano v. Town of Southold Zoning Board of Appeals Index No. 03-
26136, attached). Throughout this time, the position of the Planning Board, that
this is not a building lot, has remained unchanged.
The question for the Planning Board is whether the evidence before it merits a
change in this position, which should not be confused with the question before
the Zoning Board, of whether relief should be granted. In reviewing the records, I
did not find any reason for the Board to change its position. The Board's intent in
processing these lot line changes was evident in the minutes, the
correspondence from the original owner's attorney, statements or letters by the
owners of the adjoining properties and the resolutions that attended those
actions.

Memorandum to the File
Date: August 13, 2001
Re: Chudiak Property located in Mattituck on West side of Cox Neck Road,
Mattituck, NY
SCTM # 1000-113-7-19.11, formerly part of 113-7-12.
From: Valerie Scopaz, AICP, Town Planne~ '
This memorandum was written in response to a query regarding the status of the
Subject lot, noted above. The question before the Town was whether said lot
was a recognized bUilding lot. This memorandum presents the history of the
parcel as ascertained from the Planning Board's records:
(
/
In 1984, William Chudiak, through his attorney, Emil De Petris, ap~1ed to the
Planning Board to set-off two separate building lots from his farm./ The set-off
of concem to us in this instance is the 80,000 square foot lot thatlwas to be
accessed by way of a 50' private right of way from Cox Neck Road. This lot was
subsequently acquired by Mr. and Mrs. Kevin Milewski. The lot did not have
road frontage on a public street, thus was required to obtain a variance from
Section 280A of Town Law for access. On June 13, 1984, the ZBA granted
access subject to four conditions, one of which stated that
"Any future subdivision or set-off past this parcel along this or
any other right of way will require re-application and consideration
by this board for appropriate 280A access consideration (or the
Planning Board if same falls within their purview):
(A copy of the ZBA decision is attached.)
Subsequently, in October of 1985, Mr. Chudiak, again through his attomey Emil
DePetris, submitted four separate lot line applications to effect a merging of land
between the aforementioned right-of-way and existing lots facing Cox Neck
Road, of which there were four: Wanat, Wells, Becker, and Zabicky, (later known
as Siderakis). On December 16, 1985, the Planning Board voted to approve the
lot line amendments between Chudiak and each of the aforesaid property
owners.
'......
"
.1
e1>
.,
It appears that some of the neighboring property owners were not prepared or in
the position to acquire the additional property at the time of the lot-line
applications. The Planning Board approval was subject to conditions that the
property of Chudiak be, in each case
"conveyed to and merged with the contiguous house lot
to the East,..... .and that only one (1) residence together
with accessory structures may be constructed and
maintained upon the two parcels which will become
merged into one....and thatthe above covenants and
restrictions be included in the deed and on the survey
map for the lot line change"
The approval letter went on to note that the Chairman of the Planning Board
would endorse the approval upon receipt of the final surveys as required.
(A copy of the approval letters is attached.)
A hand-written note in one of the files indicates that Mr. De Petris stated that all
lots will be sold, and that Za~icky was not prepared to buy, but that Neudack
could buy her parcel. The note goes on to state "they are agreeable to C&Rs
that the conveyed property will merge and not have any residences."
Further, there is a letter in one of the files dated April 13, 1988, addressed to the
Planning Board from Nicholas Kordas, attorney for Lambros and Matrona
Siderakis, who had acquired the Zabicky property in 1982. The letter states that
the Siderakis' are aware of the terms of the lot-line amendment and are "ready
and willing to acqJ!fre the vacant land adjacent to their premises". The attorney
also sent a letter to Mr. Chudiak expressing his clients' readiness to proceed. A
copy of those litters are attached as well.
I discussed this matter with the Planning Board at its work session of Monday,
August 6th. Two of the members present were on the Board during 1985, and
they emphasized that the intent of the lot line applications was to merge land to
expand the size of existing lots: not to create new building lots. The record
indicates that the subject lot of this memo, 19.11, was intended to be merged
with two adjoining lots, and not to be retained for sale as a building lot at some
future date.

Request of Pisacano, Michael for a Variance
SCTM#1000-113-7-19.11 (formerly Chudiak)
Appeal #5264
The Planning Board did not authorize the creation of this parcel as a separate building
lot. The Planning Board, by request of the owner, intended to allow the property owner
to sell his property in four separate parcels to adjacent property owners for the purpose
of merging with pre-existing lots. The owner never requested any single and separate
lots to be created by the Planning Board. The Planning Board never created any new
lots by this resolution; they just enlarged the old existing lots. And, from my
understanding, two of the parcels created were transferred immediately to the bordering
neighbors and we were told the two remaining parcels were to be transferred shortly.

This is an Article 78 proceeding brought to annul, vacate, or set aside a determination of
the Respondent Town of SoutholdBoard of Zoning Appeals, dated September 11,2003, which
denied petitioner Michael Pisacano's application to reverse the Notice of Disapproval issued by
the Building Department. The petition is denied.
Petitioner is the owner of a substandard parcel located in an R-80' low density Residential
District which is located along the west side of Cox Neck Road in the village of Matti tuck, Town
of Southold, County of Suffolk, New York. Petitioner acquired the subject parcel on or about
August 27,2002. The subject parcel is recognized by tax map number 1000-113-7-19.11
(hereinafter referred to as "lot 19.11 "). The parcel is unimproved with a fifty foot flagstaff strip
which is encumbered by a right of way for adjacent properties to access Cox Neck Road.
In 1985, petitioner's predecessor in title, Mr. William Chudiak, negotiated a division of
lot 19.11 into four separate portions to be sold to his neighbors to the east, namely, Wells, Wanat,
Zabicky and Becker, whose lots were substandard. Mr. Chudiak applied to the Planning
I R-80 is a low density residential district, requiring a total area dimension of 80,000 sq.
ft. or two acres to qualify for a building permit.
i
Board for four separate lot line changes, which were approved onDecember 16, 1985.
Approximately 12,500 square feet oflot 19.11 was conveyed to Wells, increasing the confonnity
of the Wells parcel. In addition, approximately 18,800 square feet of lot 19.11 was conveyed to
Wanat, also increasing the confonnity of the Wanat parcel. However, the conveyance of the two
remaining portions of lot 19.11 to Zabicky or Becker did not occur and this fact was never
communicated to the Planning Board by Mr. Chudiak. Seven years later, Mr. Chudiak conveyed
the remaining substandard lot of 1.7 acres to petitioner.
Petitioner desires to build a one family home on the subjectparcel. Upon application, the
Town of Southold Building Department denied petitioner's proposal on the grounds that the
subjectparcel WSIS not a recognized lot pursuant to Southold Town Code * 100-24. Pursuant to
9 100-24,
A. A lot created by deed or town approval shall be recognized by
the town if anyone of the following standards apply and if the lots
have not merged:
(1) The identical lot was created by deed recorded in the
Su!folk County Clerk's office on or before June 30, 1983, and the
lot confonned to the minimum lot requirement(s) set forth in Bulk
ScheduleAA(2) as of the date oflot creation.
(2) The 10t(s) in question is/are approved by the Southold
Town Planning Board
1/
(3) The 10t(s) in question is/are shown on a subdivision
map approved by the Southold Town Board prior to June 30, 1983.
(4) The lot(s) in question is/are approved and/or recognized
by fonnal action of the Board of Appeals prior to June 30, 1983.
Petitioner subsequently applied to the Town of Southold Zoning Board of Appeals
(hereinafter referred to as "the Board") seeking a reversal of the Building Department's
detennination. Petitioner's proposal consists of an area of 72,974 square feet; lot width of 126
feet; lot depth of 320 feet; front yard setback of 155 feet; side yard setback of 35 feet; both side
yards of70 feet and rear yard setback of 155 feet? Following a hearing on July 10,2003,
2 The required lot width for a parcel in the R-80 residential district is 175 feet; lot depth -
250 feet; front yard setback. 60 feet; side yard setback. 20 feet; both side yards. 45 feet; and
rear yard setback - 75 feet.
. respondent, in a dete.tiondated September 11,2003, denietA: application by operation of
Town Law 9267-a(13)~whereby a majority vote cannot be obmlled to grant a variance or
appeal. Petitioner commenced the instant Article 78 proceeding challenging the Board's
determination as arbitrary, capricious and not supported by substantial evidence on the record.
A Zoning Board of Appeals has the primary jurisdiction of interpreting the applicable
zoning ordinance (see, Thurman v Holahan, 123 AD2d 687,507 NYS2d 52 [1986J; Van
Deusen v Jackson, 35 AD2d 58,312 NYS2d 853,1970, aff'd 28 NY2d 608 [1971]). It is
axiomatic that a local zoning board is entrusted with a reasonable measure of discretion in the
interpretation of its own ordinances and that the judicial function in reviewing the borad's
decision is a limited one. Accordingly, a board's determination should not be cast aside unless
there is a showing of illegality, arbitrariness or an abuse of discretion (RichardDudyshyn Contr.
Co. v Zoning Bd. of Appeals, 255 AD2d 445,680 NYS2d 571 [1998J, citinJMatter of Bockis v
Kayser, 112AD2d 222,491 NYS2d 438 [1985J; see also Town of Huntington v Five Towns
College Real Prop. Trust, 293 AD2d 467,740 NYS2d 107 [2002]).
The record reveals that since the lot line changes took effect in 1985, subsections 1,3
and 4 of the Southold Town Code 9100-24 are inapplicable to the instant matter. In addition,
petitioner's contention that the Planning Board's approval of the proposed lot line changes in
1985 automatically made lot 19.11 a legal building lot is untenable. Such approval results in a
modification of the zoning regulations, only if the Town Board has empowered the Planning
Board to modifY them by general or special rule and only to the extent and within the limitations
prescribed by such rule (Johnson v Moore, 13 AD2d 984,216 NYS2d 740 (19611). Here,
petitioner has failed to demonstrate that the Planning Board is duly authorized under the
Southold Town Code to effect any modification of the regulations. Thus, the Board's
determination that lot 19.11 is not a recognized parcel under the subject ordinance was not
illegal, arbitrary, or an abuse of discretion.
Petitioner further alleges that thefard violated Town Law g267-a(8). However,
pursuant to New York Town Law g267-a(2), the Board's failure to file its decision with the town
clerk within five days affects the comencement of the 30-day statute oflimitations for a
petitioner (Cuyle v TownBd., 301 AD2d 838,753 NYS2d 613 [2003]), which is not dispositive
here.
Turning to petitioner's constitutional claim, the court rejects petitioner's contention that
the Board's interpretation of Town Code 9100-24 amounts to a confiscatory action by the Town,
depriving petitioner of his property without just compensation. It is well settled that in order to
establish that an unconstitutional taking has occurred, a landowner must prove that the subject
property cannot yield an economically reasonable return as zoned (see,Loujetlll Properties Ene,
v Town of Oyster Buy, 160 AD2d 797,553 NYS2d 835 [1990J; see also, De Sf. Aubin v Flacke,
68 NY2d 66, 505 NYS2d 859 [19861). Significantly, the burden rests with the petitioner to
,establish beyond a rear- '\able doubt that he has been deprived v~~ny use of the property to which
it is reasonably adaptecttsee. DeStAubin vFlacke, stpa,at 76-77; OCM: Realty Cotp. v
hllp, 162 AD2d 495,556 NYS2d 696 (1990]). Here, the petitioner has failed to discharge this
burden.
Accordingly the petition is denied and the proceeding is dismissed.
Submit Judgment.

Reason for Appeal Continued
Zoning Board of Appeals
reo Michael Pisacano
Pursuant to Town Law section 267b-3 the Southold
Town Zoning Board of Appeals is to analyze and assess
the personal benefits anticipated by the applicant
against the potentially deleterious effects that a grant
of the relief requested would have on the health, safety
and welfare of the effected neighborhood or community.
In performing this balancing test, the Zoning Board is
charged with the responsibility to consider the five
factors enumerated in Town Law Section 267b-3(b). The
variance should be granted for the following reasons:
1. No undesirable change will be produced in the
character of the neighborhood or a detriment to nearby
properties, if the variance is granted. The lot in it's
present configuration, has been in existence since 1985,
prior to that time it was one larger lot owner by
William Chudiak. In 1985 Chudiak the neighbors along
Cox Neck Road who had undersized lots of 12,500 square
feet in size asked Mr. Chudiak to sell them a portion of
his property. Wells increased their lot by 10,000 sq.
ft. , Wanat increased their lot by slightly over 10,000
sq. ft. resulting in an increase of the undersized lots
to a more conforming size of ~ acre in a two acre zone.
The Planning Board had Mr. Chudiak make separate
applications for each lot line change and granted four
lot line changes to Adjacent owners Wanat, Wells, Becker
and Zabicky. December 17, 1985 the Planning Board took
action on each application for lot line modification
separately.
Becker and Zabicky lot line changes

The Applicant now must obtain a variance for the
creation of an undersized lot which was left behind
after the lot line changes of Wanat and Wells. The
Wanat and Wells parcels remain undersized nonconforming
lots but were doubled in size at the detriment of the
Chudiak(Pisacano parcel. The remaining parcel is 1.6
acres, more than double the size of the Wanat and Wells

parcel.
If the three parcels were to be presented for lot
line changes today each lot line modification would
stand alone as a favorable improvement to an improved
nonconforming property. Not only would the lots be more

Department standards of one acre minimum for private

is zoned two acre (R-80) the existing
Neck Road are less than two acres in
2. The benefit sought by the applicant can not be
achieved by some method, feasible for the applicant to
pursue, other than an area variance. The lot is land
remaining from Planning Board action in 1985. . The lot
was purchased as a buildable parcel and /haJ Health
Department approval. Denial of an area ~a;lance for
this existing parcel will sterilize the lot. and leave a
parcel which is surrounded by developed lots. The owner
will lose the cost of the property $90,000.00, and
closing costs, paying taxes and interest on loans for
the past two years and the added cost of obtaining
approvals and litigation which is up to $30,000.00. The
owner has borrowed and begged family and friends to keep
from losing everything.
3. The area variance is not substantial The
application of the balancing test weighs in favor of the
grant of the variance. The lot is 1.6 acres in size,
72,974 square feet (80,000 is required) the variance is
for 7,026 sq.ft. The parcel is a flag lot with
conforming width and depth. No variances for the
construction of a house is required. The access is
shared only along the south end of the flag with the
adjacent parcel owned by Milowski.

parcel is created from the same land which Wells and
Wanat now enjoy. Drainage from the development of the

1000-113-7-19.29 was created and approved by the
Planning Board for a Town Drainage Area. The neighbors
had expressed objection due to drainage issues caused by
other properties on Cox Neck Road. This lot will control
their own rain runoff, the Town must address the
drainage issued through the construction of sumps.
5. The alleged difficulty was not self-created. The
owner purchased the property with clean title and a
pending approval for construction. The land exists, the
lot appears to be a standard construction lot, it is not
a road end. The lot was created by the Planning Board
through the subdivision process of land to the west or
lot line changes of surrounding parcels to the south.
No one knew or believed that this parcel would be
considered "not approvedr, by; Planning Board action" or
left with uncertain st tUB' before he closed on the
title. /

6. The variance requested is the minimum variance
practicable given the personal benefits anticipated by
the applicant. The area variance for the lot size is
the only action available to the applicant. It is the
only variance required and he can not make this lot more
conforming through lot 1 ine changes from adj acent
parcels because that is how this lot became undersized.
Certainly, neither Wanat or Wells would sell back the
land which was sold to them from Chudiak which made
their improved parcels more conforming.

FINDINGS, DELIBERATIONS AND DETERMINATION OCT ~ Z003 J'4Sp
MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 11, 2003'/':/1 I;. , /') "1,.,..,., .//.<)
Appl. No. 5381 . Michael Pisacano (:~..t~y,{d~{~,fr~:;';{Ef;i~):<~
Property Location: 1457 Cox Neck Road, Mattituck; ParceI1000-113-7-1!:1.11.
SEQM DETERMINATION: The Zoning Board of Appeals has visited the property under
consideration in this application and determines that this review falls under the Type II
category of the State's List of Actions, without an adverse effect on the environment if
the project is Implemented as planned.
Findings of Fact
. PROPERTY FACTSIDESCRIPTlON: The applicant's survey dated April SO, 2002,
prepared by Joseph A. Ingegno, L.S. shows the property is vacant, with 51.31 ft.
frontage along the west side of Cox Neck Road in Mattituck, and with a total land area of
.72,974 sq. ft. (inclusive of a lengthy 50 ft. wide right-of-way). The property is located in
the R-BO Low-Density Residential Zone District.
BASIS OF APPLICATION: Building Department's November 7, 200?!' Notice of
Disapproval, amended November 8, 2002, citing Section 100-24(A) in It~ denial of a
building permit application to construct a new single-family dwelling. The basis of the
Notice of Disapproval is that this 73,616 sq. ft. area Is not permitted in the R-BO District
because it is not a recognized lot by any of the followfng four code standards:
1) The identical lot shall be created by deed recorded in the Suffolk County
Clerk's office on or before 6-3D-83, and the lot conformed to the minimum lot
requirements set forth In Bulk Schedule; or 2) Lot was approved by the SOu1hold
Town Planning Board, or 3) Lot Is shown on a subdMsion map approved by the
Southold Town Board prior to 6-30-83, or 4) Lot is approvedlrecognized by
formal action of the Board of Appeals prior to 6-30-83.
It is noted that the applicant's surveyor confirms the property to be 72,974.44 sq. ft. in
size, rather than the Building Inspector's reference of 73,616 sq. ft.
APPLICANT'S ORIGINAL REQUEST: On November 13, 2002, applicant applied under
Section 100-26 of the Zoning Code for a Lot Waiver, our File #5264. The Lot Waiver
request was based on the Building Inspector's November T, 2002 Notice Of Disapproval,
amended November B, 2002. Public Hearings were held on February 20, 2003 and April
3, 2003, and June 5, 2003, at which time the hearing was canceled, in order that steps
may be followed to advertise the amendment by the applicant filed on May 23, 2003, and
for the Notices required by applicant under Chapter 58 of the Town Code.

Appl. No. 5381 - Michael Pisacano
113-7-19.11 at Mattltuck
. .
APPLICANT'S AMENDED REQUEST: The May 23,2003 amended application #5381
is a request for Reversal of the Building Inspector's November 7, 2002 Notice of
Disapproval, amended November 8, 2002 based on Section 100-24(A), in which
applicant's request for a building permit to construct a single family dwelling on property
consisting of 72,974 sq. ft. was denied. The basis of the Notice of Disapproval
remained the same, stating that this 73,616 sq. ft. area is not penmltted in the R-80
District because it is not a recognized lot by any of the following four code standards:
1) The identical lot shall be created by deed recorded In the Suffolk County
Clerk's office on or before 6-30-83, and the lot conformed to the minimum lot
requirements set forth in Bulk Schedule; or 2) Lot was approved by the Southold
Town Planning Board, or 3) Lot is shown on a subdivision map approved by the
Southold Town Board prior to 6-30-83, or 4) Lot is approved/recognized by
formal action of the Board of Appeals prior to 6-30-83.
After Notices as provided by Chapter 58 of the Town Code, the Zoning Board of Appeals
held a pUblic hearing on JUly 10, 2003, at which time written and oral evidence were
presented. Based upon all testimony, documentation, personal inspection of the
property, and other evidence, the Zoning Board finds the following facts to be true and
relevant:
MOTION OFFERED: In considering all of the above factors and applying the balancing
test under New York Town Law 267-b, motion was offered by Member Oliva, to
APPROVE Michael Pisacano's application to reverse the Building Inspector's
determination.
Chairwoman Tortora called for a second to the motion. Member Goehringer abstained.
Member Homing was absent. There was no second to the motion, and the Motion was
lOST.
Therefore. in accordance with Town law, Section 26708(13). the Appeal of Michael
Plsacano is denied by default.

Reason for Appeal Continued
Zoning Board of Appeals
re: Michael Pisacano
Pursuant to Town Law section 267b-3 the Southold
Town Zoning Board of Appeals is to analyze and assess
the personal benefits anticipated by the applicant
against the potentially deleterious effects that a grant
of the relief requested would have on the health, safety
and welfare of the effected neighborhood or community.
In performing this balancing test, the Zoning Board is
charged with the responsibility to consider the five
factors enumerated in Town Law Section 267b-3 (b) The
variance should be granted for the following reasons:
1. No undesirable change will be produced in the
character of the neighborhood or a detriment to nearby
properties, if the variance is granted. The lot in it's
present configuration has been in existence since 1985,
prior to that time it was one larger lot owner by
William Chudiak. In 1985 Chudiak the neighbors along
Cox Neck Road who had undersized lots of 12,500 square
feet in size asked Mr. Chudiak to sell them a portion of
his property. Wells increased their lot by 10,000 sq.
ft., Wanat increased their lot by slightly over 10,000
sq. ft. resulting in an increase of the undersized lots
to a more conforming size of ~ acre in a two acre zone.
The Planning Board had Mr. Chudiak make separate
applications for each lot line change and granted four
lot line changes to Adjacent owners Wanat, Wells, Becker
and Zabicky. December 17, 1985 the Planning Board took
action on each application for lot line modification
separately.
Becker and Zabicky lot line changes
accomplished by the buyers due to unknown reasons.
were
not
The Applicant now must obtain a variance for the
creation of an undersized lot which was left behind
after the lot line changes of Wanat and Wells. The
Wanat and Wells parcels remain undersized nonconforming
lots but were doubled in size at the detriment of the
Chudiak/Pisacano parcel. The remaining parcel is 1.6
acres, more than double the size of the Wanat and Wells
.
.
parcel.
If the three parcels were to be presented for lot
line changes today each lot line modification would
stand alone as a favorable improvement to an improved
nonconforming property. Not only would the lots be more
conforming they would also be conforming to the Health
Department standards of one acre minimum for private
well and sanitary.
The subject parcel, even after the lot line
modification of 1985, remains larger than all the
parcels to the north and south which front Cox Neck.
While this area is zoned two acre (R-80) the existing
lots along Cox Neck Road are less than two acres in
size.
2. The benefit sought by the applicant can not be
achieved by some method, feasible for the applicant to
pursue, other than an area variance. The lot is land
remaining from Planning Board action in 1985. The lot
was purchased as a buildable parcel and ha~ Health
Department approval. Denial of an area variance for
this existing parcel will sterilize the lot and leave a
parcel which is surrounded by developed lots. The owner
will lose the cost of the property $90,000.00, and
closing costs, paying taxes and interest on loans for
the past two years and the added cost of obtaining
approvals and litigation which is up to $30,000.00. The
owner has borrowed and begged family and friends to keep
from losing everything.
3. The area variance is not substantial The
application of the balancing test weighs in favor of the
grant of the variance. The lot is 1.6 acres in size,
72,974 square feet (80,000 is required) the variance is
for 7,026 sq. ft. The parcel is a flag lot with
conforming width and depth. No variances for the
construction of a house is required. The access is
shared only along the south end of the flag with the
adjacent parcel owned by Milowski.

neighborhood or district. There are no wetlands. The
parcel is created from the same land which Wells and
Wanat now enjoy. Drainage from the development of the
parcel can be addressed by use of drywells. Tax Lot
1000-113-7-19.29 was created and approved by the
Planning Board for a Town Drainage Area. The neighbors
had expressed objection due to drainage issues caused by
other properties on Cox Neck Road. This lot will control
their own rain runoff, the Town must address the
drainage issued through the construction of sumps.
5. The alleged difficulty was not self-created. The
owner purchased the property with clean title and a
pending approval for construction. The land exists, the
lot appears to be a standard construction lot, it is not
a road end. The lot was created by the Planning Board
through the subdivision process of land to the west or
lot line changes of surrounding parcels to the south.
No one knew or believed that this parcel would be
considered "not approved by Planning Board action" or
left with uncertain status before he closed on the
!
title. (
6. The variance requested is the minimum variance
practicable given the personal benefits anticipated by
the applicant. The area variance for the lot size is
the only action available to the applicant. It is the
only variance required and he can not make this lot more
conforming through lot line changes from adjacent
parcels because that is how this lot became undersized.
Certainly, neither Wanat or Wells would sell back the
land which was sold to them from Chudiak which made
their improved parcels more conforming.
We respectfully request that

necessary and reasonable.

Subject:
Request of Pisacano, Michael for a Variance
SCTM#1000-113-7-19.11 (formerly Chudiak)
Appeal #5264
The Planning Board did not authorize the creation of this parcel as a separate building
lot. The Planning Board, by request of the owner, intended to allow the property owner
to sell his property in four separate parcels to adjacent property owners for the purpose
of merging with pre-existing lots. The owner never requested any single and separate
lots to be created by the Planning Board. The Planning Board never created any new
lots by this resolution; they just enlarged the old existing lots. And, from my
understanding, two of the parcels created were transferred immediately to the bordering
neighbors and we were told the two remaining parcels were to be transferred shortly.

We understand that when approved, there will be a re-

approval will be made conditional upon such filing, and the

TOWN OF SOUTHOLD
Memorandum to the File
Date: August 13, 2001
Re: Chudiak Property located in Mattituck on West side of Cox Neck Road,
Mattituck, NY
SCTM # 1000-113-7-19.11, formerly part of 113-7-12.
From: Valerie Scopaz, AICP, Town Planne~ .
This memorandum was written in response to a query regarding the status of the
Subject lot, noted above. The question before the Town was whether said lot
was a recognized building lot. This memorandum presents the history of the
parcel as ascertained from the Planning Board's records:
In 1984, William Chudiak, through his attorney, Emil De Petris, applfed to the
Planning Board to set-off two separate building lots from his farm. /The set-off
,
of concern to us in this instance is the 80,000 square foot lot that!was to be
accessed by way of a 50' private right of way from Cox Neck Road. This lot was
subsequently acquired by Mr. and Mrs. Kevin Milowski. The lot did not have
road frontage on a public street, thus was required to obtain a variance from
Section 280A of Town Law for access. On June 13, 1984, the ZBA granted
access subject to four conditions, one of which stated that
"Any future subdivision or set-off past this parcel along this or
any other right of way will require re-application and consideration
by this board for appropriate 280A access consideration (or the
Planning Board if same falls within their purview):
(A copy of the ZBA decision is attached.)
Subsequently, in October of 1985, Mr. Chudiak, again through his attorney Emil
DePetris, submitted four separate lot line applications to effect a merging of land
between the aforementioned right-of-way and existing lots facing Cox Neck
Road, of which there were four: Wanat, Wells, Becker, and Zabicky, (later known
as Siderakis). On December 16, 1985, the Planning Board voted to approve the
lot line amendments between Chudiak and each of the aforesaid property
owners.
,.
.J
.->
.
"
It appears that some of the neighboring property owners were not prepared or in
the position to acquire the additional property at the time of the lot-line
applications. The Planning Board approval was subject to conditions that the
property of Chudiak be, in each case
"conveyed to and merged with the contiguous house lot
to the East,..... .and that only one (1) residence together
with accessory structures may be constructed and
maintained upon the two parcels which will become
merged into one. . .. and that the above covenants and
restrictions be included in the deed and on the survey
map for the lot line change"
The approval letter went on to note that the Chairman of the Planning Board
would endorse the approval upon receipt of the final surveys as required.
(A copy of the approval letters is attached.)
A hand-written note in one of the files indicates that Mr. De Petris stated that all
lots will be sold, and that Zabicky was not prepared to buy, but that Neudack
could buy her parcel. The note goes on to state "they are agreeable to C&Rs
that the conveyed property will merge and not have any residences."
Further, there is a letter in one of the files dated April 13, 1988, addressed to the
Planning Board from Nicholas Kordas, attorney for Lambros and Matrona
Siderakis, who had acquired the Zabicky property in 1982. The letter states that
the Siderakis' are aware of the terms of the lot-line amendment and are "ready
and willing to acquire the vacant land adjacent to their premises". The attorney
also sent a letter to Mr. Chudiak expressing his clients' readiness to proceed. A
copy of those letters are attached as well.
I discussed this matter with the Planning Board at its work session of Monday,
August 6th. Two of the members present were on the Board during 1985, and
they emphasized that the intent of the lot line applications was to merge land to
expand the size of existing lots: not to create new building lots. The record
indicates that the subject lot of this memo, 19.11, was intended to be merged
with two adjoining lots, and not to be retained for sale as a building lot at some
future date.

Re: Michael Pisacano

Dear Ms. Woodhouse:
In accordance with our discussion at the Planning
Board work session, enclosed please find the a copy of
the survey which shows the existing configuration of
the property.
The subject property is the balance of land
previously owned by Mr. William Chudiak (now
deceased), a long time farmer and large landowner
along Cox Neck Road. The deeds to this land date back
to 1956.
This 1.675 acre parcel was the subject of lot line
change applications which were initiated by mutual
consent of the abutting owners of Tax lot number 15,
16, 19.18 and 19.19 (see tax map attached). The
Planning Board approved the lot line changes in 1985.
Thereafter only lot 19.18 and 19.19 completed the lot
line change with the appropriate deed restrictions
that the lot line change constituted one combined lot.
Mr. Chudiak was left with the subject property
remaining, lot 15 and 16 could not complete the lot
line change.
,
.
.)MIf
IS,
P(~
ff>
In 2001 Mr. Chudiak was very elderly and dispos
of all his properties. This lot was offered to the
adjacent owners through Celie's Real Estate office.

,
The adjacent owners were not interested in purchasing
this land. Mr. Pisacano went into contract and
proceeded to obtain Health Department approval to
construct a single family residence on this property.
Communications with Ed Forester, the principal
building inspector at the time recognized this lot and
was prepared to issue a building permit.
In December 2001 Mr. Pisacano purchased the
property as a buildable lot. Since 2001 Mr. Pisacano
has been paying on loans and incurring debt. with
appeals and litigation.
A Zoning appeal was submitted in 2003 to overturn
the determination of the building inspector that this
lot was not a recognized lot, but after months of
hearings and testimony the Board failed to make a
finding on the issue on September 11, 2003 and the
only recourse available to Mr. Pisacano was an Article
78 appeal. The Court in May 2004 upheld the ZBA _
that their failure to make a decision pursuant to Town
Law 267-a (8) resulted in a denial of the application.
Moreover the Town claimed that the ZBA had not issued
a variance for the lot size which was less than 2
acres (this lot is 72,974.44).
Mr. Pisacano begins again- he requests that the
Planning Board review and ratify the two lot line
changes which were approved in 1985 and consummated
with the sale of the property and filing of covenants.
The remainder parcel will be recognized as a lot being
72,974.44, subject to ZBA approval of an undersized
lot.
The building inspector can not issue a notice of
disapproval for creation of the undersized lot until
the Planning Board ratifies the two lot line changes
(rather than four lot line changes of 1985). Without
the notice of disapproval we can proceed to the ZBA
for an area variance for the lot size.
The Health Department has already approved this
lot and once the ZBA grants the approval the parcel
can be developed with a conforming single family
residence (no variances were needed for the placement

Application Dated Apri 1 11, 1984
TO: Mr. and Mrs. Kevin Milowski
P.O. Box 134
Cutchogue, NY 11935,
(Public Hearing May 17, 1984)
[Appellant (s)]
At a Meeting of the Zoning Board of Appeals held on May 31, 1984,
the above appeal was considered, and the action indicated below was taken
on your [X] Request for Variance Due to Lack of Access to Property
New York Town Law, Section 280-a
(] Request for Special Exception under the Zoning Ordinance
Article , Section
[] Request for Variance to the Zoning Ordinance
Article , Section
[] Request for
Upon application of KEVIN'AN..p LESLEY MILOWSKI, Box 134, Cutchogue, NY
for a Variance to New Yorl< fown La"~, Article 16, Section 280A, for
approval of access over a private right-of-way at the west side of Cox
Necl< Road, Mattituck, (now or formerly of W. Chudiak); County Tax Map
Parcel No. 1000-113-7-part of Lot 12.
The board made the following findings and determination:
By this application, appellants seek approval of access over a 50-foot
private right-of-way located at the west side of Cox Necl< Road and ex-
tending westerly 312.16 feet to the premises in question, which is an
80,000 sq. ft. vacant parcel set off by the Planning Board, File #368,
at its Meeting of March 12, 1984.
Although the right-of-way has been traveled by farm vehicles, the
right-of-way is in need of improvements. for satisfactory aCcess by
emergency and other vehicles. It is the understanding of the board
that this request is for access only to the parcel in question, and
it should be understood that any further subdivision or additional
dwelling structures will be required to return for an updated review
and updated improvements as this board would deem necessary under
the circumstances. '
In considering th.is appeal , the .poard also determines: (a) that
the relief requested is not substantial; (b) that'by granting the
requested relief, the character of th~ neighborhood will not be
adversely aff~cted;(c)~ th't by allowing the variance, no sub~tantial
detriment to adjoining properties would be created; (d) that no
adverse effects will be "produced on available governmental facilities
of any increased population; 0e) that the relief requested will be
in harmony with and promote the general purposes of zoning; and (f)
that the interests of Justice will be served by a11o~ing the variance,
as indicated below.
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Goehringer, seconded by Mr. Doug-
lass, it was i . ,

Dear Michael:
We are the attorneys for Theodore Wells and Rita Wells, who own the above property,
We understand that the Town has received inquiries as to the development of tax lot 19,11 for a
single farrily residence,
I
the Wells have a deeded right of way over the 50 foot right of way outlined in blue, The
Wells and their neighbors keep open and use the right of way on a constant basis for its full
extent.
Tax lot 19,11 was supposed to have been added to tax lots 15 & 16 per Planning Board
lot line change approvals on December 16, 1985 (Chudiak to Zabicky and Chudiak to Becker),
At that same meeting, mergers for Chudiak to Wells and Chudiak to Wanat were also approved,
and those transfers were made (now tax lots 19.18 and 19.19). The Planning Board approvals
prohibited construction of a residence on 19.11 since it was to be added to the two lots which
already contained residences, Moreover, the property is an R -80 zone.
Please keep us advised if this matter progresses.

It appears that some of the neighboring property owners were not prepared or in
the position to acquire the additional property at the time of the lot-line
applications. The Planning Board approval was subject to conditions that the
property of Chudiak be, in each case
"conveyed to and merged with the contiguous house lot
to the East,. .....and that only one (1) residence together
with accessory structures may be constructed and
maintained upon the two parcels which will become
merged into one. ...and that the above covenants and
restrictions be included in the deed and on the survey
map for the lot line change"
The approval letter went on to note that the Chairman of the Planning Board
would endorse the approval upon receipt of the final surveys as required.
(A copy of the approval letters is attached.)
A hand-written note in one of the files indicates that Mr. De Petris stated that all
lots will be sold, and that Zabichy wa!; not prepared to buy, but that Neudack
could buy her parcel. The note goes on to state "they are agreeable to C&Rs
that the conveyed property will merge and not have any residences."
Further, there is a letter in one of the files dated April 13, 1988, addressed to the
Planning Board from Nicholas Kordas, attorney for Lambros and Matrona
Siderakis, who had acquired the Zabicky property in 1982. The letter states that
the Siderakis' are aware of the terms of the lot-line amendment and are "ready
and willing to acquire/he vacant land adjacent to their premises". The attorney
also sent a letter to Mr. Chudiak expressing his clients' readiness to proceed, A
,
copy of those letters are attached as well.
I discussed this matter with the Planning Board at its work session of Monday,
August 6th. Two of the members present were on the Board during 1985, and
they emphasized that the intent of the lot line applications was to merge land to
expand the size of existing lots: not to create new building lots, The record
indicates that the subject lot of this memo, 19.11, was intended to be merged
with two adjoining lots, and not to be retained for sale as a building lot at some
future date,

enclose herewith four applications for lot line changes to-

We understand that when approved, there will be a re-

the parcels will merge with the contiguous parcel on the east
which fronts on Cox Neck Road, and we will assume that the
approval will be made conditional upon such filing, and the

I understand that it is not necessary for me to be

PO Box 1931
Southold, NY 11971
NOTICE OF HEARING:
December 18, 2002
HEARING DATE: January 9, 2003
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
Article 6, Section 760-602, ~A-2 of the Suffolk County Sanitary Code states that no developer
shall engage in the creation of a development, or dispose of any parcel in the development, or
erect any building in the development, unless Suffolk County Department of Health Services'
(SCDHS; the Department) approval has been obtained for the existing or proposed water supply
and sewage disposal facilities in the development. The applicant proposes to construct a single-
family dwelling on a parcel of land that was subdivided without the approval of the Suffolk
County Department of Health Services (SCDHS).
FINDINGS AND FACTS
1. Proposed development of a 1.68-acre parcel with a single-family residence.
2. Site is in Groundwater Management Zone #N.
3. Public water was not available at the time of application. Test well data shows that water
quality meets Department standards. With the lifting of a Suffolk County Water Authority
moratorium, public water may be available to the parcel.
4. Depth to groundwater is greater than 17 feet (ft.).
5. Soils are sandy.
6. Distance to nearest public water supply wells is 4,000 ft. (Laurel Lake Wellfield).
7. Through a complex series of transactions and events, the applicant now finds himself the
owner of a parcel of land with a separate Suffolk County Tax Map identification number
(1000-113-7-19.11; hereinafter "Lot 19.11"), as shown on the current Suffolk County Tax
Maps. However, the lot is not recognized by the Department, because a subdivision
application had never been made to the Department to create it. Before addressing the
waiver request, we will summarize relevant subdivision activity to put Lot 19.11 in context.

Linda Mermelstein, M.D., M.P.H., Acting Commissioner
Hearing Date: January 9, 2003
Subject: Report of Findings and Recommendation of the Board of Review Regarding:
R10-02-0052 - Pisacano residence - wjsjo Cox Neck Road, '" 1583 ft. sjo
Bergen Avenue, Southold - tjo Southold - SCTM: #1000-113-7-19.11
******
FINDINGS AND FAcrs (cont'd.)
8. As presented by the Department's staff, the subject application concerns Lot 19.11, which is
one lot of an "unapproved four-lot subdivision" (Le., four contiguous lots which were not
approved for subdivision by the Department). On the existing Suffolk County Tax Maps
(SCTMs), these are lots 19.10,19.11,19.18, and 19.19 (all with SCTM prefix 1000-113-7).
9. All four lots comply with Article 6 density requirements, and would have been approvable by
the SCDHS if a subdivision application were presented prior to the premature creation of the
unapproved subdivision. Average lot size is 53,717 sq. ft., which is 268% (assuming public
water is available) or 134% (if private wells are used) of Department standards in
Hydrogeologic Zone IV (20,000 square foot minimum lot size when served by public water;
40,000 sq. ft. minimum lot size when private wells are used).
10. Because the parcels are in separate ownership, and the applicant cannot join all parties in a
subdivision application, he cannot meet the requirements of Section 760-602 of the Suffolk
County Sanitary Code.
11. The 1981 Suffolk County Tax Maps are the basis of exemptions ("grandfathering") of single
and separate lots which predate Article 6 subdivision requirements. The four lots in
question are actually comprised of portions of three lots on the 1981 Tax Maps: then lots 17,
18, and part of 12 (all with SCTM prefix 1000-113-7). As such, the proposed lot is not
exempt from Article 6 density requirements.
12. The Town of Southold has written a letter, dated January 7, 2003 (V. Scopaz to W.
Dawydiak), opposing the requested variance, for reasons described below. As back-up, the
letter contains an August 13, 2001 memorandum to file (from V. Scopaz).
13. As described in the August 13, 2001 Scopaz memorandum, the first lot of the unapproved
four-lot subdivision was created when the subdivision of Lot 19.10 was approved by the
Southold Town Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) in the 1984 "Chudiak application." A Town
ZBA determination was required, as Lot 19.10 did not have road frontage, as required by
Town Law Sec. 280A (access). A condition of the ZBA approval of the Chudiak application
was that any future subdivision of the parcel would require re-application for a Sec. 280A
access variance.
14. The Chudiak application created a long, narrow remnant (hereinafter "remnant") of former
lot 12, bounded on the west by a right-of-way and new lot 19.10, and on the east by lots 15
through 18 (as shown on the 1981 SCTM). Excluding the right of way, this remnant area
totals 68,000 sq. ft.
15. The August 13 memorandum describes the history of the remnant parcel. In 1985, Mr.
Chudiak submitted four Sliparate lot line change applications for the remnant parcel. The
apparent intent was to merge portions of the remnant parcel with parcels to the east (via sale
to adjacent owners); new building lots would not be created. Planning Board approval for
each of the lot line changes was issued on December 16, 1985. As a condition of approval,
each separate approval required that every new lot be merged with contiguous parcels to the

FINDINGS AND FACI'S (cont'd.)
15. (cont'd.)
east. No new dwelling units were to be allowed as a result of any merger. Each lot line
change would become effective, as of endorsement by the ZBA chairman. This endorsement
would occur on receipt of amended surveys, as well as evidence of proper covenants and
restrictions concerning the merger and sterilization (Le., no new dwelling units permitted).
16. The southerly pair oflots (18,800 sq. ft. and 12,500 sq. ft.) were, indeed, conveyed to
adjacent owners, merged, and sterilized. The result of these two lot line changes is lots 19.18
and 19.19, on the 2002 Suffolk County Tax Map. These are two lots in question in the four-
lot unapproved subdivision.
17. The northerly two lots were 25,000 sq. ft. and 12,500 sq. ft. (they are now part of Lot 19.11,
along with a portion of the right-of-way). The Scopaz memo to file suggests that
negotiations were underway to sell these two lots to adjacent owners. However, these
negotiations were never brought to fruition. Hence, the lot line changes never occurred.
18. The Town of Southold apparently contends that, by virtue of the parties' intent and the
terms and conditions of the various approvals, the northerly lots should be considered as
"sterilized" by the SCDHS.
19. The applicant now holds title to the last piece of the remnant parcel: lot 19.11. It is
comprised of the two northerly lots (37,500 sq. ft.), as well as the right of way, for a total of
1. 7 acre. The applicant contends that the failure of predecessors in interest to consummate
proposed lot line changes does not extinguish his prerogative to seek to develop the parcel.
No evidence was presented that restrictive covenants have ever been filed on any portion of
lot 19.11.
DETERMINATION
It was a 3 to 0 decision of the Board of Review ("Board") to approve the request for variance.
The Board is not unsympathetic to the Town's intentions to sterilize the remnant parcel.
However, the Board has no indication that Sanitary Code development rights were, in fact, in
any way extinguished by the four separate approvals of conditional lot line changes. While two
of the lot line changes were consummated, the other two were not, leaving one lot which clearly
complies with Article 6 density requirements.
The legal status of Lot 19.11, with respect to Town jurisdiction, is a matter appropriately left to
the Town. With respect to SCDHS jurisdiction, however, long-standing review principles can,
and must, be applied. In the subject case, the "unapproved four-lot subdivision" clearly
complies with Article 6 density requirements. It would have been approved, if proposed to the
County before its premature creation.
The Department has, on several occasions, dealt with owners of individual lots in unapproved
subdivisions. When joinder of all owners within the subdivision is not possible, and the
subdivision otherwise meets SCDHS requirements, subdivision requirements have been waived,
absent other special circumstances which warrant a result to the contrary. Ultimately, the

******
DETERMINATION (cont'd.)
SCDHS must evaluate each application on its own merits, and within the Department's
jurisdiction: the Sanitary Code, and associated water supply and sewage disposal requirements.
In this particular case, the applicant will need to connect to public water, if available. If public
water is not available to the applicant at the time of SCDHS approval, then the applicant shall
covenant, in language acceptable to the County Attorney, that the parcel will connect to public
water when it is available.
As per Section 760-609 of the Suffolk County Sanitary Code (Sanitary Code), the approval of the
variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Sanitary Code, to protect
groundwater and drinking water supplies, surface water and other natural resources, and public
health, safety and welfare. In compliance with Section 760-609(1)(a), the proposed variance is
in general conformity with the Sanitary Code. The variance should not impair groundwater,
surface water, and drinking water supplies, and, as such, is consistent with criteria specified in
Section 760-609(1)(b).

Memorandum to the File
Date: August 13, 2001
Re: Chudiak Property located in Mattituck on West side of Cox Neck Road,
Mattituck, NY
SCTM # 1000-113-7-19.11, formerly part of 113-7-12.
From: Valerie Scopaz, AICP, Town Planne~ .
This memorandum was written in response to a query regarding the status of the
Subject lot, noted above. The question before the Town was whether said lot
was a recognized building lot. This memorandum presents the history of the
parcel as ascertained from the Planning Board's records.
In 1984, William Chudiak, through his attorney, Emil De Petris, applied to the
Planning Board to set-off two separate building lots from his farm. The set-off.
of concern to us in this instance is the 80,000 square foot lot that was to be
accessed by way of a 50' private right of way from Cox Neck Road. This lot was
subsequently acquired by Mr. and Mrs. Kevin Milowski. The lot did not have
road frontage on a public street, thus was required to obtain a variance from
Section 280A of Town Law for access. On June 13, 1984, the ZBA granted
access subject to four conditions, one of which stated that
"Any future subdivision or set-off past this parcel along this or
any other right of way will require re-application and consideration
by this board for appropriate 280A access consideration (or the
Planning Board if same falls within their purview):
(A copy of the ZBA decision is attached.)
Subsequently, in October of 1985, Mr, Chudiak, again through his attorney Emil
DePetris, submitted four separate lot line applications to effect a merging of land
between the aforementioned right-of-way and existing lots facing Cox Neck
Road, of which there were four: Wanat, Wells, Becker, and Zabicky, (later known
as Siderakis). On December 16, 1985, the Planning Board voted to approve the
lot line amendments between Chudiak and each of the aforesaid property
owners.
. .
.
.
c)
It appears that some of the neighboring property owners were not prepared or in
the position to acquire the additional property at the time of the lot-line
applications. The Planning Board approval was subject to conditions that the
property of Chudiak be, in each case
"conveyed to and merged with the contiguous house lot
to the East, . . . . . .and that only one (1) residence together
with accessory structures may be constructed and
maintained upon the two parcels which will become
merged into one. . .. and that the above covenants and
restrictions be included in the deed and on the survey
map for the lot line change"
The approval letter went on to note that the Chairman of the Planning Board
would endorse the approval upon receipt of the final surveys as required.
(A copy of the approval letters is attached.)
A hand-written note in one of the files indicates that Mr. De Petris stated that all
lots will be sold, and that Zabicky wa!; not prepared to buy, but that Neudack
could buy her parcel. The note goes on to state "they are agreeable to C&Rs
that the conveyed property will merge and not have any residences."
Further, there is a letter in one of the files dated April 13, 1988, addressed to the
Planning Board from Nicholas Kordas, attorney for Lambros and Matrona
Siderakis, who had acquired the Zabicky property in 1982. The letter states that
the Siderakis' are aware of the terms of the lot-line amendment and are "ready
and willing to acquire the vacant land adjacent to their premises". The attorney
also sent a letter to Mr. Chudiak expressing his clients' readiness to proceed. A
copy of those letters are attached as well.
I discussed this matter with the Planning Board at its work session of Monday,
August 6th. Two of the members present were on the Board during 1985, and
they emphasized that the intent of the lot line applications was to merge land to
expand the size of existing lots: not to create new building lots. The record
indicates that the subject lot of this memo, 19.11, was intended to be merged
with two adjoining lots, and not to be retained for sale as a building lot at some
future date.

ACTION OF THE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
Appeal No. 3243
Application Dated April 11,1984
TO: Mr. and Mrs. Kevin Milowski
P.O. Box 134
Cutchogue, NY 11935,
(Public Hearing May 17, 1984)
[Appellant (s) 1
At a Meeting of the Zoning Board of Appeals held on May 31,1984,
the above appeal was considered, and the action indicated below was taken
on your [Xl Request for Variance Due to Lack of Access to Property
New York Town Law, Section 280-a
[l Request for Special Exception under the Zoning Ordinance
Article , Section
[l Request for Variance to the Zoning Ordinance
Article , Section
[] Request for
Upon application of KEVIN AND LESLEY MILOWSKI, Box 134, Cutchogue, NY
for a Variance to New York Town Law, Article 16, Section 280A, for
approval of access over a private right-of~way at the west side of Cox
Neck Road, Mattituck, (now or formerly of W. Chudiak); County Tax Map
Parcel No. 1000-113-7-part of Lot 12.
The board made the following findings and determination:
By this application, appellants seek approval of access over a 50-foot
private right-of-way located at the west side of Cox Neck Road and ex-
tending westerly 312.16 feet to the premises in question, which is an
80,000 sq. ft. vacant parcel set off by the Planning Board, File #368,
at its Meeting of March 12, 1984.
Although the right-of-way has been traveled by farm vehicles, the
right-of-way is in need of impravem~nts for satisfactory access by
emergency and other vehicles. It is the understanding of the board
that this request is for access only to the parcel in question, and
it should be understood that any further subdivision or additional
dwelling structures will be required to return for an updated review
and updated improvements as this board would deem necessary under
the circumstances. '
In co~sideringth_is appeal, the ~oard also determines: (a) that
the relief re4ue~tedis not substanti~l; (b) that-by granting the
requested relief, the character of th~ neighborhood will not be
adversely affected; _ - (cF that by allowing the variance, no substantial
detriment to adjotnin9 pr6p~rties would be created; (d) that no -
adverse effects will be-produced on available governmental facilities
of any increased populiition; !.e) that the relief requested will be
in harmony with and promote the general purposes of zoning; and (f)
that the interests of justice will be served by a110~ing the varianc~,
as indicated below,

In accordance with your letter of August 14, 1985, I
enclose herewith four applications for lot line changes to-
gether with four checks for the filing fee of $50.00 each.
We understand that when approved, there will be a re-
quirement that a covenant be filed to the effect that each of
the parcels will merge with the contiguous parcel on the east
which fronts on Cox Neck Road, and we will assume that the
approval will be made conditional upon such filing, and the
c~venants will be filed once the approvals have been given.
I understand that it is not necessary for me to be
preseht when these applications are heard since they are self-
explanatory. If this is incorrect, please let me know.

RE: Michael PISACANO
PREMISES: 1457 COX NECK RD, MA TTITUCK
Dear Ms. Scopaz::
A letter dated August 20, 200 I written to the Building Dept. by Abigail Wickham, Esq. and copied
to you was just delivered to me by my client, Michael Pisacano.
The contents of this letter, which appears to be grossly in error, seems to be at the root of the
problem as to why you won't meet with me or Mr. Pisacano.
The facts are not in dispute but the conclusions reached by Ms. Wickham and your office seem to
be in error.
The key words in Ms. Wickhams's letter (last paragraph) which read "since it was to be added to
the two parcels which already contained residences" are totally ignored in your memo to the file dated
August 13,2001.
The fact is that no part of present lot 19.11 was ever conveyed and never added to those parcels
which already contained residences. If the intended parcels were never conveyed then they are still part of
the original parcel 19 which consisted of32 acres when the property was purchased in 1954. Any other
conclusion is arbitrary and capricious.
It is also to be noted that the Planning Board never made provision in their decision of what would
happen in the event the property was not conveyed. In effect the Planning Board inadvertently created a
sub-standard lot of only 1.7 acres including the ROW.
To require Mr. Pisacano to file with ZBA at this stage after almost 50 years to establish the fact
that lot 19.11 was legally created and meets zoning requirements seems to me a total waste of time and
energy. I do wish that you would reconsider your position and meet with us t.o . scu~~ ;above. ",'

Dear Michael:
We are the attorneys for Theodore Wells and Rita Wel1s, who own the above property.
We understand that the Town has received inquiries as to the development oftax lot 19.11 for a
single family residence.
The Wel1s have a deeded right of way over the 50 foot right of way outlined in blue. The
Wells and their neighbors keep open and use the right of way on a constant basis for its ful1
extent.
Tax lot 19.11 was supposed to have been added to tax lots 15 & 16 per Planning Board
lot line change approvals on December 16, 1985 (Chudiak to Zabicky and Chudiak to Becker).
At that same meeting, mergers for Chudiak to Wel1s and Chudiak to Wanat were also approved,
and those transfers were made (now tax lots 19.18 and 19.19). The Planning Board approvals
prohibited construction of a res ide nee on 19.11 since it was to be added to the two lots which
already contained residences. Moreover, the property is an R-80 zone.
Please keep us advised if this matter progresses.

Re Reffl RIO-02-0052, SCTM # 1000-113-07-19.11 (Michael Pisacano)
Dear Mr. Feldman
Thank you for your letter of October 18, 2002 together with enclosures.
The property card for this parcel reflects that in 1956 Mr. Chudiak purchased 32.915
acres from "Sacks" (per copy of deed enclosed). The 32 acres is reflected in the 1981 tax
map as lots 13 through 18 together with the Milowski property and the residual parcel
retained by Mr. Chudiak.
Over the course of years by various lot changes, acquisition and casual transfers, Mr.
Chudiak transferred lots 13 through 18 to the present owners along Cox Neck Road and
also transferred portions of the residual lot to "Wells" and "Wanat"retaining the larger
parcel which is the subject of this sale by Mr. Chuiak to Mr. Piscano. He also transferred
the Milowski property in 1984.
All of the properties along Cox Neck Road appear to have received Dept of Health
Approval for construction of single family homes since the date Mr. Chudiak acquired
the property. On what basis were the approvals given! Simply stated, they were approved
because they were buildable parcels under applicable municipal zoning ordinances and
which met the Department requirements then in effect. The subject parcel should
therefore be exempt under the same section of the code.
The records of the Southold Tax Assessor confirm this arrangement. Enclosed is a memo
attached to the tax lot property card that clearly indicates "all of which appears to exist
dating back prior to 1984 and going back to 1940's. Lot is 1.7 with adj. .ROW, per
assessor Scott Russell."
.
.
It would seem to me that if this residual lot existed in the 1940 and purchased in 1956
then it was legally created at that time and continues to be such. Carving off pieces by lot
line changes does not and should not be deemed to be a creation of a new lot.
As far as I can tell the C&R's that were placed on the pieces transferred by lot line
changes are limited only to those pieces so that further development or building would
be restricted due to the merger of those pieces with the pieces along Cox Neck Road.
Our title report and variance search do not reflect any restriction on the subject parcel.
The title was absolutely clear of any recorded restrictions.
The Milowski 280-A access application granted in 1984 when the property was
transferred to him doesn't even effect our parcel. The application was limited to the 2
acre parcel west of the right of way. The ZBA decision reads in part" It is the
understanding of the Board that this request is for access onlv to the parcel in question, "
(emphasis added")
In view of the above would you kindly reconsider this matter or schedule an appointment
with Mr. Pisacano, Ms. Patricia Moore, Esq. and myself to review the above.
It would seem to me that this parcel is exempt from the Code for reasons mentioned.
Thank you.
Very truly yours,

Re: Reffl RIO-02-0052, SCTM # 1000-113-07-19.11 (Michael Pisacano)
Dear Mr. Feldman
Our office represents Michael Pisacano, as purchaser of the above parcel.
1 have a copy of your letter addressed to Patricia Moore, Esq dated September 6,
2002. Unfortunately 1 do not have a copy of your letter previously addressed to her on
June 4, 2002.
As a result of your letter I have caused all the files in this matter to be completely
reviewed and 1 can find nothing on record to sustain the question you raise.
The decision of the Planning Board in the various lot line changes over the years
did not and does not affect the retained larger parcel held by Mr. Chudiak. The pieces he
split off from the larger piece were lot line changes and the pieces split off merged with
the adjacent parcels which were owned by the property owners along Cox Neck Road..
The planning board did not want to create buildable lots out of the split-off pieces and
therefore requested that the spit-off pieces were not separate buildable lots but merged
into the Cox neck properties. In effect this decreased the size of Chudiak property but
enlarged the pieces along Cox Neck Road and made the parcels more in conformity with
the zoning at the time.
A careful examination of the original lot lines map will clearly sustain this
position and unequivocally show that the Becker and Zabicky parcels were never
conveyed to them and therefore the covenant never attached to these parcels and the
larger piece remained "as is." Only the Wells and Wanat properties have the covenant
that affects build ability.
.
.
The covenant not to build is specifically limited to those parcels that were merged
into the owners property along Cox Neck Road and did not affect the retained parcel by
Mr. Chudiak. To interpret it otherwise strains the imagination and good conscience.
As a purchaser we have conducted a title search and a variance search (single &
Separate) and there is absolutely nothing on record to sustain your position. There is no
recorded covenant affecting this parcel.
In her letter dated March 13,2002 (when this issue was first raised) Ms. Moore by
letter addressed to Mr. Petritsch (copy enclosed) completely set forth the details of the
Planning Boards decision and further quoted Art.6 and Public Health Law, Sec. 1115
which clearly sets forth that boundary line changes were not considered "subdivisions".
To hold otherwise is arbitrary.
It further appears that any complaint lodged with you by a neighbor not affected
by this application and not privy to this transaction should not be sustained as it is a
tortuous interference with the Mr. Pisacano' s contract rights which could result in an
action for treble damages.
From the very beginning of this process, Mr. Pisacano has cooperated in every
detail and supplied your office with everything requested including the preparation of
C&R's which were approved by your office and in fact he was told that they would be
signed within a day or two. At the last moment now, you have raised a question that was
resolved by Ms. Moore's letter in March.
It is respectfully requested that you reconsider the Board's position in this matter
and grant Mr. Pisacano approval to construct a single family residence on this parcel
which is 1.7 Ac. and in conformity with zoning regulations.
Thank you.
Very truly yours,

Re: RIO-02-0052
Cox Neek Road
Owner; Chudiak
Dear Mr. Petritsch:
I represent Mr. Chudiak, the owner of the property, who is in contract to sell
the property to the applicant Michael Pisacano.
In response to YOUT notice dated March 8, 2002 please be advised that the
subject property is over two acres in si:..::e, is the balance of the land owned by Mr.
Chudiak. On December 16,1985 the Southold Town Planning Board authorized two
boundary line changes with the adjacent prope11ies fronting Cox Neck Road in order
to make the adjacent parcels larger.
Specifically, the Planning Board approved a boundary line change of 12,500
sq. ft of vacant land from Chudiak to the adjacent 12,500 sq.ft imoroved parcel owned
by Wells fronting Cox Neck Road. The Wells parcel (SCTM#lDOO-I13-07-l9.19)
was made more cO:-lforming with a total of25,OOO sq. fl.. Also the Planning Board
simultaneously approved 18,800 sq.ft. of vacant land from Chudiak to the adjacent
14,252 sq.ft. improved Wanat property fronting Cox Neck Road, also making thatIot
~ENT a.Y: MOO~E;

.
PAGE 6/6
.
.
(SCTM#1000-113-07-19.18) more confonning with a total of33,052 sq.ft.. These
changes were "boundary line changes" which did not result in additional building
lots being created. The boundary line changes were not "subdivision" of the
property. The Planning Board required Covenants to be filed on each transfer which
made it clear that the contiguous land was merged to create one parcel with only one
residence.
.. Realty SlIbdlvision" as defined in the Suffolk County Sanitary Code-
Article 6, Environmental Conservation Law, as applicable, and Public
Health Law section IllS, is any tract of land which is divided into five or
more parcels, after the effective date of this act, (PUB HEALTH ~ 1115.
Realty subdivisions). In 1985 "Lot line changes" (boundary line changes) were
not considered "subdivisions". The Chudiak parcel made the improved adjacent
parcels larger and retained the subject two acres which comply with your
requirements.
We thank you for your consideration and ask that you proceed with the
application to construct a residence on the Chudiak's two acre parcel known as
SCTM#1000-113-07-19.11. If you have any questions or wish to discuss this
application please do not hesitate to contact me.
Very truly yours,
Patricia C. Moore

Dear Mr Feldman
Our office represents Michael Pisacano, as purchaser of the above parcel.
I have a copy of your letter addressed to Patricia Moore, Esq dated September 6,
2002. Unfortunately I do not have a copy of your letter previously addressed to her on
June 4, 2002.
As a result of your letter I have caused all the files in this matter to be completely
reviewed and I can find nothing on record to sustain the question you raise.
The decision of the Planning Board in the various lot line changes over the years
did not and does not affect the retained larger parcel held by Mr Chudiak. The pieces he
split off from the larger piece were lot line changes and the pieces split off merged with
the adjacent parcels which were owned by the property owners along Cox Neck Road..
The planning board did not want to create buildable lots out of the split-off pieces and
therefore requested that the spit-off pieces were not separate buildable lots but merged
into the Cox neck properties. In effect this decreased the size of Chudiak property but
enlarged the pieces along Cox Neck Road and made the parcels more in conformity with
the zoning at the time.
A careful examination of the original lot lines map will clearly sustain this
position and unequivocally show that the Becker and Zabicky parcels were never
conveyed to them and therefore the covenant never attached to these parcels and the
larger piece remained "as is" Only the Wells and Wanat properties have the covenant
that affects build ability.
.
.
The covenant not to build is specifically limited to those parcels that were merged
into the owners property along Cox Neck Road and did not affect the retained parcel by
Mr. Chudiak To interpret it otherwise strains the imagination and good conscience.
As a purchaser we have conducted a title search and a variance search (single &
Separate) and there is absolutely nothing on record to sustain your position. There is no
recorded covenant affecting this parcel.
In her letter dated March 13, 2002 (when this issue was first raised) Ms. Moore by
letter addressed to Mr. Petritsch (copy enclosed) completely set forth the details of the
Planning Boards decision and further quoted Art.6 and Public Health Law, Sec. 1115
which clearly sets forth that boundary line changes were not considered "subdivisions"
To hold otherwise is arbitrary.
It further appears that any complaint lodged with you by a neighbor not affected
by this application and not privy to this transaction should not be sustained as it is a
tortuous interference with the Mr. Pisacano's contract rights which could result in an
action for treble damages.
From the very beginning of this process, Mr. Pisacano has cooperated in every
detail and supplied your office with everything requested including the preparation of
C&R's which were approved by your office and in fact he was told that they would be
signed within a day or two. At the last moment now, you have raised a question that was
resolved by Ms. Moore's letter in March.
It is respectfully requested that you reconsider the Board's position in this matter
and grant Mr. Pisacano approval to construct a single family residence on this parcel
which is 1.7 Ac. and in conformity with zoning regulations.
Thank you.
Very truly yours,

Re: RIO-02-0052
Cox Neck Road
Owner: Chudiak
Dear Mr. Petritsch:
I represent Mr. Chudiak, the owner of the property, who is in contract to sell
the property to the applicant Michael Pisacano.
In response to YOUT notice dated March 8, 2002 please be advised that the
subject property is over two acres in si:.:e, is the balance of the land owned by Mr.
Chudiak. On December 16, 1985 the Southold Town Planning Hoard authorized two
boundary line changes with the adjacent properties fronting Cox Neck Road in order
to make the adjacent parcels larger.
Specifically, the Planning Board approved a boundary line change of 12,500
sq. ft of vacant land from Chudiak to the adjacent 12,500 sq.ft imoroved parcel owned
by Wells fronting Cox Neck Road. The Wells parcel (SCTM#1000-113-07-19.19)
was made more cO'.1forming with a total of25,000 sq. ft.. Also the Planning Board
simultaneously approved 18,800 sq.ft. of vacant land from Chudiak to the adjacent
14,252 sq.ft. improved Wanat property fronting Cox Neck Road, also making thatlot

PAGE 6/6
(SCTM#1000-113-07-19.18) more conforming with a total of 33,052 sq.ft.. These
changes were "boundary line changes" which did not result in additional building
lots being created. The boundary line changes were not "subdivision" of the
property. The Planning Board required Covenants to be filed on each transfer which
made it clear that the contiguous land was merged to create one parcel with only one
residence.
.. Realty SlIbdivision" as defined in the Suffolk County Sanitary Code-
Article 6, Environmental Conservation Law, as applicable, and Public
Health Law section 1115, is any tract of land which is divided into five or
more parcels, after the effective date of this act, (PUB HEALTH * 1115,
Realty subdivisions). In 1985 "Lot line changes" (boundary line changes) were
not considered "subdivisions", The Chudiak parcel made the improved adjacent
parcels larger and retained the subject two acres which comply with your
requirements.
We thank you for your consideration and ask that you proceed with tht:
application to construct a residence on the Chudiak's two acre parcel known as
SCTM#1000-113-07-19.11. (fyou have any questions or wish to discuss this
application please do not hesitate to contact me.
Very truly yours,
Patricia C. Moore

subsequently acquired by Mr. and Mrs. Kevin Milowskl. The lot did not have C
road frontage on a public street, thus was required to obtain Q vllrlanC$from .~
Section 280A of Town Law for access. On June 13, 1984, the ZBA granted
access subject to four conditions, one of which stated that .
"Any future subdivision or set-off psst this parcel ~/on9 thl. or
any other right of way wllf require re-applic8tlon and oonalderetion
by this board for appropriate 280A access cons/deration (or the

Re: Ref# RI0-02-0052, SCTM # 1000-113-07-19.11 - Application for Michael Pisacano
Dear Ms. Moore:
Subsequent to my notice of June 4, 2002, it has been brought to illY atlention that the above
referenced property was the subject of a Town Planning Board decision, This decision apparently
designated the property to be merged with adjacent properties; not to be built upon. As such, prior
to moving forward with the individual application with this Department, the proposed development
should be presented to the Town for approval first. If this Is not feasible then a development map
should be submitted as originally requested including all properties Involved In the "lot line change"
that took place subsequent to 1980.
In addition, please have your surveyor or engineer show on the plnns existing contours together with
elevations based upon the USGS datum. Note that Section '-105, pB-8 of the Department's
Construction Standards specify that sewage disposal systems shull not be located in areas where
topography concentrates runoff onto or in the area where the system Is pl'tJposed.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 852.2100,
Very truly yours,

Re: Reffl RIO-02-0052, SCTM # 1000-113-07-19.11 (Michael Pisacano)
Dear Mr. Feldman
Our office represents Michael Pisacano, as purchaser of the above parcel.
I have a copy of your letter addressed to Patricia Moore, Esq dated September 6,
2002. Unfortunately I do not have a copy of yOur letter previously addressed to her on
June 4, 2002.
As a result of your letter I have caused all the files in this matter to be completely
reviewed and I can find nothing on record to sustain the question you raise.
The decision of the Planning Board in the various lot line changes over the years
did not and does not affect the retained larger parcel held by Mr. Chudiak. The pieces he
split off from the larger piece were lot line changes and the pieces split off merged with
the adjacent parcels which were owned by the property owners along Cox Neck Road..
The planning board did not want to create buildable lots out of the split-off pieces and
therefore requested that the spit-off pieces were not separate buildable lots but merged
into the Cox neck properties. In effect this decreased the size of Chudiak property but
enlarged the pieces along Cox Neck Road and made the parcels more in conformity with
the zoning at the time.
A careful examination of the original lot lines map will clearly sustain this
position and unequivocally show that the Becker and Zabicky parcels were never
conveyed to them and therefore the covenant never attached to these parcels and the
larger piece remained "as is." Only the Wells and Wanat properties have the covenant
that affects build ability.
.
.
The covenant not to build is specifically limited to those parcels that were merged
into the owners property along Cox Neck Road and did not affect the retained parcel by
Mr. Chudiak. To interpret it otherwise strains the imagination and good conscience.
As a purchaser we have conducted a title search and a variance search (single &
Separate) and there is absolutely nothing on record to sustain your position. There is no
recorded covenant affecting this parcel.
In her letter dated March 13, 2002 (when this issue was first raised) Ms. Moore by
letter addressed to Mr. Petritsch (copy enclosed) completely set forth the details of the
Planning Boards decision and further quoted Art.6 and Public Health Law, Sec. IllS
which clearly sets forth that boundary line changes were not considered "subdivisions".
To hold otherwise is arbitrary.
It further appears that any complaint lodged with you by a neighbor not affected
by this application and not privy to this transaction should not be sustained as it is a
tortuous interference with the Mr. Pisacano' s contract rights which could result in an
action for treble damages.
From the very beginning of this process, Mr. Pisacano has cooperated in every
detail and supplied your office with everything requested including the preparation of
C&R's which were approved by your office and in fact he was told that they would be
signed within a day or two. At the last moment now, you have raised a question that was
resolved by Ms. Moore's letter in March.
It is respectfully requested that you reconsider the Board's position in this matter
and grant Mr. Pisacano approval to construct a single family residence on this parcel
which is I. 7 Ac. and in conformity with zoning regulations.
Thank you.
Very truly yours,

Re: RIO-02-0052
Cox Neck Road
Owner: Chudiak
Dear Mr. Petritsch:
I represent Mr. Chudiak, the owner of the property, who is in contract to sell
the property to the applicant Michael Pisacano.
In response to your notice dated March 8, 2002 please be advised that the
subject property is over two acres in sh:e, is the balance of the land owned by Mr.
Chudiak. On December 16,1985 the Southold Town Planning Board authorized two
boundary line changes with the adjacent properties fronting Cox Neck Road in order
to make the adjacent parcels larger.
Specifically, the Planning Board approved a boundary line change of 12.500
sq. ft of vacant land from Chudiak to the adjacent 12,500 sq.ft imoroved parcel owned
by Wells fronting Cox Neck Road. The Wells parcel (SCTM#1000-113-07-19.19)
was made more cO:'lfonning with a total of25,OOO sq. ft.. Also the Planning Board
simultaneously approved 18,800 sq.ft. of vacant land from Chudiak: to the adjacent
14,252 sq.ft. improved Wanat property fronting Cox Neck Road, also making that lot

PAGE 6/6
(SCTM#lOOO-1l3-01_ J 9.18) more confonning wi th a total of 33,052 sq.ft.. These
changes were "boundary line changes" which did not result in additional building
lots being created. The boundary line changes were not "subdivision" of the
property. The Planning Board required Covenants to be filed on each transfer which
made it clear that the contiguous land was merged to create one parcel with only one
residence.
.. Realty SlIbdivision" as defined in the Suffolk County Sanitary Code-
Article 6, Environmental Conservation Law, as applicable, and Public
Health Law section 1115, is any tract of land which is divided into five or
more parcels, after the effective date of this act, (pUB HEALTH * IllS,
Realty subdivisions). In 1985 "Lot line changes" (boundary line changes) were
not considered "subdivisions". The Chudiak parcel made the improved adjacent
parcels larger and retained the subject two acres which comply with your
requirements.
We thank you tor your consideration and ask that you proceed with the
application to construct a residence on the Chudiak's two acre parcel known as
SCTM#1000-113-07-19.11. If you have any questions or wish to discuss this
application please do not hesitate to contact me.
Very truly yours,
Patricia C. Moore

Memorandum to the File
Date: August 13, 2001
Re: Chudiak Property located in Mattituck on West side of Cox Neck Road,
Mattituck, NY
SCTM # 1000-113-7-19.11, formerly part of 113-7-12.
From: Valerie Scopaz, AICP, Town Planne~ .
This memorandum was written in response to a query regarding the status of the
Subject lot, noted above. The question before the Town was whether said lot
was a recognized building lot. This memorandum presents the history of the
parcel as ascertained from the Planning Board's records:
In 1984, William Chudiak, through his attorney, Emil De Petris, applied to the
Planning Board to set-off two separate building lots from his farm. The set-off.
of concern to us in this instance is the 80,000 square foot lot that was to be
accessed by way of a 50' private right of way from Cox Neck Road. This lot was
subsequently acquired by Mr. and Mrs. Kevin Milowski. The lot did not have
road frontage on a public street, thus was required to obtain a variance from
Section 280A of Town Law for access. On June 13,1984, the ZBA granted
access subject to four conditions, one of which stated that
"Any future subdivision or set-off past this parcel along this or
any other right of way will require re-application and consideration
by this board for appropriate 280A access consideration (or the
Planning Board if same falls within their purview):
(A copy of the ZBA decision is attached.)
Subsequently, in October of 1985, Mr. Chudiak, again through his attorney Emil
DePetris, submitted four separate .lot line applications to effect a merging of land
between the aforementioned right-of-way and existing lots facing Cox Neck
Road, of which there were four: Wanat, Wells, Becker, and Zabicky, (later known
as Siderakis). On December 16, 1985, the Planning Board voted to approve the
lot line amendments between Chudiak and each of the aforesaid property
owners.
.
.
)
It appears that some of the neighboring property owners were not prepared or in
the position to acquire the additional property at the time of the lot-line
applications. The Planning Board approval was subject to conditions that the
property of Chudiak be, in each case
"conveyed to and merged with the contiguous house lot
to the East, ..... .and that only one (1) residence together
with accessory structures may be constructed and
maintained upon the two parcels which will become
merged into one. . .. and that the above covenants and
restrictions be included in the deed and on the survey
map for the lot line change"
The approval letter went on to note that the Chairman of the Planning Board
would endorse the approval upon receipt of the final surveys as required.
(A copy of the approval letters is attached.)
A hand-written note in one of the files indicates that Mr. De Petris stated that all
lots will be sold, and that Zabicky w<:s not prepared to buy, but that Neudack
could buy her parcel. The note goes on to state "they are agreeable to C&Rs
that the conveyed property will merge and not have any residences."
Further, there is a letter in one of the files dated April 13, 1988, addressed to the
Planning Board from Nicholas Kordas, attorney for Lambros and Matrona
Siderakis, who had acquired the Zabicky property in 1982. The letter states that
the Siderakis' are aware of the terms of the lot-line amendment and are "ready
and willing to acquire the vacant land adjacent to their premises". The attorney
also sent a letter to Mr. Chudiak expressing his clients' readiness to proceed. A
copy of those letters are attached as well.
I discussed this matter with the Planning Board at its work session of Monday,
August 6th. Two of the members present were on the Board during 1985, and
they emphasized that the intent of the lot line applications was to merge land to
expand the size of existing lots: not to create new building lots. The record
indicates that the subject lot of this memo, 19.11, was intended to be merged
with two adjoining lots, and not to be retained for sale as a building lot at some
future date.

TO: Mr. and Mrs. Kevin Mi10wski
P.O. Box 134

(Public Hearing May 17, 1984)
[Appellant (5) 1
At a Meeting of the Zoning Board of Appeals held on May 31,1984,
the above appeal was considered, and the action indicated below was taken
on your [xl Request for Variance Due to Lack of Access to Property
New York Town Law, Section 280-a
] Request for Special Exception under the Zoning Ordinance
Article , Section
[] Request for Variance to the Zoning Ordinance
Article , Section
[] Request for
Upon application of KEVIN AND LESLEY MILOWSKI, Box 134, Cutchogue, NY
for a Variance to New York Town Law, Article 16, Section 280A, for
approval of access over a private right-of_way at the west side of Cox
Neck Road, Mattituck, (now or formerly of W. Chudiak); County Tax Map
Parcel No. 1000-113-7-part of Lot 12.
The board made the following findings and determination:
By this application, appellants seek approval of access over a 50-foot
private right-of-way located at the west side of Cox Neck Road and ex-
tending westerly 312.16 feet to the premises in question, which is an
80,000 sq. ft. vacant parcel set off by the Planning Board, File #368,
at its Meeting of March 12, 1984.
Although the right-of-way has been traveled by farm vehicles, the
right-of-way is in need of imprdvements for satisfactory access by
emergency and other vehicles. It is the understanding of the board
that this request is for access only to the parcel in question, and
it should be understood that any further subdivision or additional
dwelling structures will be required to return for an updated review
and updated improvements as this board would deem necessary under
the circumstances. '
In considerjl'!gthisappeal, the .~oard also determines: (a) that
the relief reqOestedfs not substantial; (b) that-by granting the
requested relief, the character of the neighborhood will not be
adversely aff~cted;(c)~ thjt by allowing the ~aria~ce, no substantial
detriment to adjoining properties would be created; (d) that no
adverse effects. will be=produced ori availablegove~nmental facilities
of any increased population; !.e) that the relief requested will be
in harmony with and promote the general purposes of zoning; and (f)
that the interests of Justice will be served by allowing the variance,
as indicated below.
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Goehringer, seconded by Mr. Doug-
lass, it was i'

Re: Property6f WilliamChudiak
Dear Ms. Schultze:
.
In accordance with your letter of August 14, 1985, I
enclose herewith four applications for lot line changes to-
gether with four checks for the filing fee of $50.00 each.
We understand that when approved, there will be a re-
quirement that a covenant be filed to the effect that each of
the parcels will merge with the contiguous parcel on the east
which fronts on Cox Neck Road, and we will assume that the
approval will be made conditional upon such filing, and the
c~venants will be filed once the approvals have been given.
I understand that it is not necessary for me to be
preseht when these applications are heard since they are self-
explanatory. If this is incorrect, please let me know.

Re: Proposed lot line changes (William Chudiakl
Dear Ms. Schultze:
In accordance with our telephone conversation of today, the
following is the language of a covenant which we intend to
insert in any deed made by the Chudiaks to the owner of the
adjacent parcel and we understand that any approval by the
Planning Board of the lot line changes will be subject to the
requirement that the deeds which convey the Chudiak property
contain this covenant:
"This conveyance is subject to the following covenant and
restriction which shall run with the land:
The parcel hereby conveyed shall merge with premises
of the grantee contiguous thereto on the east and the
2 parcels shall thereupon be deemed to be one parcel
for purposes of the zoning ordinance of the Town of
Southold, so that under the present provisions of the
zoning ordinance of the Town of Southold only one
residence, together with accessory structures, may be
constructed and maintained upon the said two parcels
which are being merged into one parcel."
Very truly yours,
