On the amended certification of yoUr original site plan, I indicated that the subject of lighting had not been addressed. The Building Department made inquiry to the Zoning Board of Appeals on Paddle Ball Courts, among other similar accessories, and indicated that the application had lighting inserted in its survey, which is not normally permitted. (copy attached) The ZBA response (copy attached) chose not to address the lighting issue but restricted the Building Department to Zone Control Section 100-31C 1 thru 8 and Section 100-33, which spells out no exterior lighting. Action by the ZBA is further required before the C.O. for your Paddle Ball Court can be issued. Hoping this answers your inquiries and if I can be of further assistance, don't hesitate to call. I remain. Very truly yours, .%OLD DEPT. Victor Lessard, Principal Building Inspector VL:gar cc to: Planning Board/ ZBA APPEALS BOARD MEMBERS Gerard P.

It is our understanding that the informal request has been referred based upon an inquiry from the Planning Board office concerning the commercial zoning of the premises and the wording in the code allowing tennis courts as an accessory use related to residential use and not commercial use. Section 100-101C(1) of the "B" General Business Zone District permits accessory uses and is regulated under the Agricultural- Conservation Zone District, Section 100-31C, F~u~sections. 1 t~g~_~, and is further regulated by Section 100-33. " Sub-section (4) under Section 100-31C s specifically provide for an accessory tennis court use, as well as other different types of accessory structures. Although a paddle ball court is not defined in the zoning code, there is no substantial difference from a zoning viewpoint, regardless of the type of construction. It is apparent that this legislation is intended to allow recreational uses similar to that of a swimmingpool or tennis court, and it has been the past policy of the town in previous building permit applications and variances not to prohibit-ball courts that are only structurally different from tennis courts, including residential zone districts. The legislation clearly provides that a "recreational structure" of this nature must not be used for profit or other gainful purpose, and its intent is not to be of a commercial nature, and must be strictly subordinate and accessory to the principal use. Therefore, it is the position'of this Department~that paddle-ball courts should not be excluded from the list of permitted accessory uses which provide for accessory tennis courts as a permitted accessory use. Should the landowner apply for such use as a separate commercial activity for profit or gainful purposes, an area variance would be necessary particularly if the land is already occupied by a principal commercial use for which 30,000 sq. ft. of land area has been applied, and if granted, the code provides for a principal use in the General Business (B) Zone with Special Exception and site plan approvals. We are providing the Planning Board with a copy of this letter and your memorandum in the event there are questions when the application for site plan approval is submitted to their office.

Accessories are referred back in this zone, to 100-31C ( 1 to 8 ). I would judge this to be in a Tennis Court catagory (4) except the wording has residential inserted. Also this application has lighting inserted in its survey, which is not normally permitted. I would request an interpretation on this and such things as bachi-ball, hand ball, etc., as at present, it is not spelled out in the code.

A revised site plan already has been submitted, and with this memo' I am submitting a brochure which hopefully will give you a better idea of what a platform tennis court is. Although the' brochure describes a court slightly different than the used court we hope to install, the basic materials, configuration and dimensions are almost identical. The interior dimensions of the court are 30 feet wide by 60 feet long, with the exterior dimensions just one foot wider and longer. The aluminum platform (or deck) would be installed about three feet off the ground, and the sides of the court will extend 12 feet above the platform. Unlike the courts described in the enclosed brochure, the lights on our used court are self-contained fluorescent lamps that do not extend above the top of the court -- in other words, they are within the 12-foot-tall sides. Also, the lights shine down directly onto the court, and do not diffuse light significantly beyond the perimeter of the court. Because of the configuration of the wooded parcel where the court would be installed -- sandwiched between two commercial parking lots (our upper lot and the lot behind the shopping plaza immediately to our west) -- we are confident this court will be neither seen nor heard by anyone other than those of us here at Times/Review. If you like, we have available for viewing a video tape of the actual court we hope to erect. It was taken before the court was dismantled at its former location in Morristown, N.J. In addition, the dismantled court currently is stored in our upper parking lot. For what it's worth, you may want to take a look at the pieces before they're re-assembled. I hope this is helpful, and that you will let us know if we can provide any further information. Thank you. TIMES/_ REVIEW ';'- ............... 80 Main Road, PO Box 1500, Mattituck.

I understand there is a question about usage of the platform tennis court, .and the purpose of this follow-up memo is to confirm in writing what we already have'told the planning department: that the court is intended for the private use of the management, employees and friends Of Times/Review Newspapers, which is wholly owned by my wife, Joan, and me, as is the property upon which the court would be erected. No commercial use of the court is planned or anticipated. I hope this serves to clarify our intentions. Again, thank you.

Main Road Southold,New York 11971 Re: Amended Site Plan, Suffolk Times Mattituck, New York Dear Bob; In response to your question regarding landscaping at the above referenced project, the area in which the platform tennis court is to be located is pres- ently in a natural state of vegetation. Only an area adequate in size to accommodate the court will be disturbed so as to maintain a natural buffer on the North, South and West sides. After completion of the installation any areas of vegetation which have been disturbed will be re- planted with a material suitable to prevent the oc- currence of any erosion, i.e.: grass, ground cover, shrubs etc. I trust this will allay any concerns you may have had, however if there are any questions, please feel free to call this office.

Sub-section (4) under Section 100-31C does specifically provide for an accessory tennis court use, as well as other different types of accessory structures. Although a paddle ball court is not defined in the zoning code, there is no substantial difference from a zoning viewpoint, regardless of the type of construction. It is apparent that this legislation is intended to allow recreational uses similar to that of a swimmingpool or tennis court, and it has been the past policy of the town in previous building permit applications and variances not to prohibit ball courts that are only structurally different from tennis courts, including residential zone districts. The legislation clearly provides that a "recreational structure" of this nature must not be used for profit or other gainful purpose, and its intent is not to be of a commercial nature, and must be strictly subordinate and accessory to the principal use. Therefore, it is the position'of this Department' that paddle-ball courts should not be excluded from the list of permitted accessory uses which provide for accessory tennis courts as a permitted accessory use. Should the landowner apply for such use as a separate commercial activity for profit or gainful purposes, an area variance would be necessary particularly if the land is already occupied by a principal commercial use for which 30,000 sq. ft. of land area has been applied, and if granted, the code provides for a principal use in the General Business (B) Zone with Special Exception and site plan approvals. We are providing the Planning Board with a copy of this letter and your memorandum in the event there are questions when the application for site plan approval is submitted to their office.
