Dear'Mr. & Mrs. Gasser,
The Planning Board has received your letter of June 20, 1994.
In answer to the two questions in your letter the Board comments
as follows:
A five foot (5') landscaped strip would be satisfactory
at the entrance on Love Lane.
Chain link fence should be slatted on both the east and
west side toward the north. In addition, a buffer seven
foot wide of shade tolerant evergreens should be placed
between the Hamlet Business and Residential zones.
If you have any questions, or require further information,
please contact this office.

Dear Mr. Kassner,
SOUTHOLD TOivN
PLANNING BOARO_
This is to inform you that I presently have an application
in the building dept. for the questions that your department
had on our fence, electrical conduit, accessory tower
setback and display and storage of exhibits. I am awaiting
approval or disapproval on the above so that I can make
application to the Zoning Board of Appeals.
I have also contacted the Board of Health and have run into
a snag and presently are looking for the information that
they are requiring.
Concerning
the board.
you stated
the board.
the letter of May 16th with the determinations of
During our conversation concerning this letter
that on a few points we could make suggestions to
The fir'st item that I would like to address is the five foot
landscaped area abutting the front of the building. As you
can see by the prelim survey that I have submitted, it shows
that there is a concrete apron presently in front of the
building and a notation that shows where handicapped parking
will go, which was also an addition that your dept wanted us
to add. Presently we do not see where there will be any
room in the area abutting the building for landscaping.
Since the building can not be seem from the street we do
feel that our entrance on Love Lane is the place to provide
landscaping so that it will be pleasing to the visitor and
traffic on the street.

The next item is the fifteen foot vegetative buffer that is

GERARD P. GOEHRlNGER, SERGE DOYEN, JR.
JAMES DINIZIO, JR., ROBERT A. VIllA and
RICHARD C. WILTON, Constituting The Zoning
Board of Appeals of the Town of Southo1d,
Defendants.
x
In this Anicle 78 proceeding petitioners seek a judgment annulling and reversing a determination
by respondent Zoning Board of Appeals of the Town of Southold which granted in pan and denied in
pan an application for certain area variances on property owned by nonparty William F. Gasser on
which the American Armoured Foundation operates a museum displaying tanks and other military
memorabilia. The petition is dismissed.
Petitioners, who operate a take-out food catering busin~ss, are the owners of a parcel of property
adjoining the tank museum. The museum property is "L" shaped with a lot area of 32,109 square feet
and is bordered on the nonh by Long Island Railroad tracks and on the south by Sound Avenue (County
Road 48) in Mattituck. The property also has road frontage on its easterly border on Love Lane. The
property is conforming as to total lot area, width and depth in the Hamlet-Business (HE) district in
which it is situated (Code of the Town of Southold 9 100-92).
The subject property has been used as a nonprofit museum since the early 1980's and such use
is a permitted one in this district (Town Code 9 l00-9l[A][17]). Prior to Mr. Gasser's purchase of the
propeny in 1981, the property was used as a storage yard in association with a nearby lumber company
located on Sound Avenue.
In 1981, the southerly half of the propeny was zoned "C-Light Industrial" and the nonherly half
of the property was mixed "C-Light Industrial" and "A-Agricultural-Residential". In January, 1989,
,;
.

Ammirati v Goehringer
Index No. 95-5279
Page 2
a new master plan was adopted by the Town which rezoned the property, "Light Industrial" and
"Residential Office". In May, 1992, Mr. Gasser successfully applied to the Town Board for a change
of zone to "Hamlet Business".
In July, 1994, the Town's Building Inspector issued a "notice of disapproval" with respect to
an application by Mr. Gasser for permission to maintain an accessory tower, a 6'8" high perimeter
fence and to store outdoors tanks and other military displays on the premises. Mr. Gasser then applied
to respondent board for the area variances necessary to maintain these features on his property. The
variances included a nineteen inch relaxation of the five foot set back requirement of the Code for the
accessory tower; an eight inch relaxation of the Code's requirement that a fence along the front of a
nonresidential property not exceQrl six feet in height, as well as a two inch relaxation of the Code's
requirement that a fence along the side and rear of a nonresidential property not exceed 6' 6" in height;
and a rela."l:ation of the Code's requirement which prohibits the outdoor display of merchandise and
requires the storage of all property be confined to enclosed buildings (Town Code gg 100-91[cJ[1]; 100-
231[AJ; 100-93).
Following public hearings held on January 4, 1995 and February I, 1995, respondent Board,
in a determination, dated February I, 1995, granted the area variances for the tower and the fence
subject to various conditions, but denied the variance for the outdoor storage of museum displays. At
the same time, respondent Board interpreted the zoning code as permitting the outdoor parking of
operable tanks on the premises.
Petitioners commenced the instant proceeding challenging the Board's determination to grant the
requested variances and the Board's interpretation of the ordinance as permittin'g the outdoor storage
of tanks. Petitioners assert that the Board's determination is not in harmony with the general intent and
purpose of the Town's zoning code and not in the interest of the public health, safety and welfare and
substantial justice.
The' Court first disposes of a procedural challenge asserted by respondent Board which contends
that petitioners have failed to join Mr. Gasser who, by virtue of his ownership of the property at issue,
is a necessary party in this proceeding. A successful applicant for a variance is not an indispensable
party in a proceeding to review a zoning board's determination (Zimmennan v Kramer, 29 Misc2d 413,
217 NYS2d 438 [1961J; see aIso, Leventhal v Michaelis, 29 Misc2d 831, 219 NYS2d 508 [1961]).
It is well settled that zoning boards have broad discretion in considering applications for
variances and that judicial review is limited to determining whether the action taken by the board is
illegal, arbitrary, or an abuse of discretion (Seumenicht v Zoning Board of Appeals of the City of Rye,
AD2d ,629 NYS2d 784 [1995]). A zoning board's determination will be sustained if it has a rational
basis and is supported by the substantial evidence (Green v Scheyer, 205 AD2d 535, 612 NYS2d 663
[1994]).
Town Law g 267-b sets forth five factors to be considered by zoning boards of appeal when
considering requests for area variances. These five factors, which are a codification of the factors set
,
.

Ammirati v Goehringer
Index No. 95-5279
Page 3
fonh in Marter ofWachsberger v Michaelis, 19 Misc2d 909, 191 NYS2d 621 affd 18 AD2d 921, 238
NYS2d 309 [1959], have been cited by the Appellate Division as valid criteria for determining the merit
of an area variance application (Wantagh Woods Neighborhood Association v Board of Zoning Appeals
'Jf the Town of Hempstead, 208 AD2d 935, 617 NYS2d 532 [1994] and the cases cited therein). Thus,
in making a determination, the board should consider: (1) how substantial the variation is in relation
to the requirement; (2) the effect if the variance is allowed; (3) whether a substantial change will be
produced in the character of the neighborhood or a substantial detriment to adjoining properties will be.
:reated; (4) whether the difficulty can be obviated by some method, feasible for the applicant to pursue,
Jther than a variance; and (5) whether in view of the manner in which the difficulty arose and
:onsidering all the above factors the interests of justice will be served by allowing the variance (Town
Law ~ 267-b(3)(b); Matter of Wachsberger v Michaelis, supra, 191 NYS2d at 624). There is no
jiscernible difference between the requirements set fonh in Town Law g 267-b(3)(b) and those of the
'ractical difficulty standard (Delavore v Scheyer, AD2d ,626 NYS2d 260 [1995]).
In applying these factors to the application herein, the Court finds that the Board's determination
o grant variances with respect to the tower and the fence has a rational basis and is supported by the
,ubstantial evidence on the record.
In particular, the evidence on the record suppom the Board's determination that there will not
'e an undesirable change in the character of the neighborhood or a detriment to nearby properties. The
naximum fence height permitted by the variance represents only a two inches deviation from the code
.vith respect to the rear and side borders of the premises and only an eight inch deviation on the
jroperty's front border; such minimal deviations will result in little or no adverse impact on petitioners'
'roperty. Nor will the tower set back variation cause a detriment to petitioners' property as the tower
s located at a point which is the funhest possible distance from their property. The subject parcel is
:ituated in a business area and is at least partially bordered by industrial uses. Petitioners' property and
,ther surrounding properties, including the railroad tracks, generate similar impacts with respect to
rafflc, noise, security and safety as does the tank museum. Moreover, the conditions imposed by
espondent in issuing the variances which include the slatting of the fence and the maintenance of
Jlantings to screen the museum property from view by adjoining properties will ameliorate any adverse
'isual impact created by the subject property.
The evidence on the record also suppom the Boards's determination that the variances requested
'y the petitioners are not substantial or unreasonable, particularly in view of the unique "L"-shape of
he property which is also narrow in length with little buildable area; the location of the existing
,uildings on the premises; the parcel's former use as a commercial storage yard with parking of
ommercial trucks and other vehicles in the yard area; and the fact it is not uncommon for fences in
his district to be maintained at a height of six feet, or more.
In addition, petitioners' claim that the tank museum has an adverse impact on the petitioners'
atering business strikes the Court as being somewhat disingenuous in view of the fact that the
lUseum 's use of the property predates petitioners' use of their own premises.
.

Ammirati v Goehringer
Index No. 95-5279
Page 4
Respondent Board did deny Mr. Gasser's third request for a variance of 9 100-93 which requires
that the display and sale of merchandise and the storage of all property in a HB district be confined to
enclosed buildings. Citing this section of the Code, the Board determined that Mr. Gasser had not
established his entitlement to a variance which would permit the museum to continue its outdoor display
of museum artifacts. At the same time, the Board interpreted this section of the Code as not prohibiting
the outdoor parking of operable tanks on the premises.
A zoning board of appeals has the primary jurisdiction of interpreting the applicable zoning
ordinance (Jordan's Partnen v Goehringer, 204 AD2d 453, 611 NYS2d 626 [1994]; Marx v Zoning
Board of Appeals of the Village of Mill Neck, 137 AD2d 333, 529 NYS2d 330 [1988]). The
interpretation of the zoning regulation by a zoning board of appeals should be accorded great weight
(see, Cathedral of the lncarnation v Glimm, 61 NY2d 826, 473 NYS2d 972 [1984D. Nevertheless,
the zoning board's interpretation of a regulation is subject to judicial review and the ultimate
responsibility of interpreting the law is that of the court (KlvIO-361 Realty Associates v Davies, 204
AD2d 547, 611 NYS2d 660 [1994] Iv to app den 84 NY2d 811, 622 NYS2d 913).
In interpreting the Code as permitting the outdoor storage of operable tanks on the premises, the
Board relied upon the following provisions of 9 100-13 of the Code:
OPEN SF ACE: Any parcel or area of land or water essentially unimproved and set
aside, dedicated or reserved for public or private use or enjoyment or for the use and
enjoyment of owners and occupants of land adjoining or neighboring such open space,
provided that such areas may be improved with only those buildings, structures, streets
and off-street parking and other improvements that are designed to be in.cidental to the
natural openness of the land.
PARKING LOT: An off-street, ground level area, surfaced and improved for the
temporary storage of motor vehicles.
Petitioners contend that the Board acted arbitrarily and erroneously when it interpreted the
ordinance to include tanks and similar military vehicles within the definition of "motor vehicles". The
Code does not defme the term, "motor vehicles". Pursuant to 9 100-13(B) any term not defined in the
zoning code shall be used with a meaning as defined in Webster's Third New International Dictionary
of the English Language, unabridged (or latest edition). The Court's edition of this dictionary defines
a tank "as a full-track enclosed armored vehicle that usually mounts a cannon and automatic weapons
and has excellent cross country mobility, armor protection, firepower and the capability of shock
action". The same dictionary defines a motor vehicle "as an automotive vehicle not operated on rails
esp. one with rubber tires for use on highways". The Court does not find the Board's inclusion of this
specialized self-propelled motorized vehicle and other such military vehicles within the larger category
of motor vehicles to be irrational or unreasonable.
Under the circumstances, respondent's determination was not arbitrary and capricious. The
petition is therefore dismissed.

Attention:
Mr. Gerard Goehringer, Chairman ZBA
Dear Mr. Goehringer,
Please consider this a formal request for an extension of
time on the determination made by the Zoning Board of
Appeals on February 8th, 1995. This determination requires
the removal of 75% of the museum collection, that is being
displayed at the Love Lane property know as the Tank Museum,
by August 6th of this year.
We feel this extension of time is necessary and not
unrealistic due to the fact that there is a lawsuit pending
concerning this determination and this requested extension
will give us the opportunity to explore options that have
come to our attention during discussions with various
regulatory boards of the Town of Southold.
I would like to thank you for your time and consideration in
the matter of this requested extension and are in hopes that
this extension will be granted.

Attention Planning Board
Dear Mr. Kassner,
This is to inform you that I presently have an application
in the building dept. for the questions that your department
had on our fence, electrical conduit, accessory tower
setback and display and storage of exhibits. I am awaiting
approval or disapproval on the above so that I can make
application to the Zoning Board of Appeals.
I have also contacted the Board of Health and have run into
a snag and presently are looking for the information that
they are requiring.
Concerning
the board.
you stated
the board.
the letter of May 16th with the determinations of
During our conversation concerning this letter
that on a few points we could make suggestions to
,
The first item that I would like to address is the five foot
landscaped area abutting the front of the building. As you
can see by the prelim survey that I have submitted, it shows
that there is a concrete apron presently in front of the
building and a notation that shows where handicapped parking
will go, which was also an addition that your dept wanted us
to add. Presently we do not see where there will be any
room in the area abutting the building for landscaping.
Since the building can not be seem from the street we do
feel that our entrance on Love Lane is the place to provide
landscaping so that it will be pleasing to the visitor and
traffic on the street.
Tank and Ordnance War Memorial Museum

.
.
The next item is the fifteen foot vegetative buffer that is
required between the HD and RO zones. As you are well aware
our property is only 60' wide in this area. If we are
required to put a 30' vegetative buffer we will have no
property left. We would however be willing to plant a vine
or suitable vine like shrubs that would eventually close in
the property. We would also be willing to slat the rest of
the north west side of the property and since the north east
side has a buffer of vegetation that is over 20'in width we
would prefer not to slat or plant on that line.
I would like to thank you and the board for taking the above
mentioned suggestions under advisement. At your earliest
conv nience please advise as to the boards decision.

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Gasser,
The Planning Board has received your letter of June 20, 1994.
In answer to the two questions in your letter the Board comments
as follows:
A five foot (5') landscaped strip would be satisfactory
at the entrance on Love Lane.
Chain link fence should be slatted on both the east and
west side toward the north. In addition, a buffer seven
foot wide of shade tolerant evergreens should be placed
between the Hamlet Business and Residential zones.

FINDINGS AND DETERMINATION
Appl. No. 4227,
Application of WILLIAM GASSER and AMERICAN ARMORED
FOUNDATION requesting a variance based upon the Building
Inspector's February 4. 1994 Notice of Disapproval concerning a
building permit application for two identification signs, as exist
on fence. which do not meet the ,setback requirement of 15 feet from
all property lines. ref: Article XIX. Section 100-91lcl. Article
XVIII. Section 100-81-C(2a) of the Zoning Code. Zoning District:
Hamlet 'Business.
WHEREAS. a public hearing was held on April 6. 1994. at which
time all those who desired to be heard'wereheard'and
their testimony recorded; and
WHEREAS. the Board has carefully considered all testimony and
documentation submitted concerning this application;
WHEREAS. Board Members have personally viewed and are
familiar' with the premises in question. its present zoning. and the
surrounding areas; and
WHEREAS. the Board made the following' findings of fact:
1. BASIS OF APPEAL. This is an appeal based upon the
February 4. 1994 Notice of Disapproval issued by the Building
Inspector under an application for a building permit for approval
of two on-premises advertising signs for the American Armored
Foundation. Inc. and William Gasser. as owner. The owner acquired
the subject premises on September 3. 1981.
2. LOCATION AND DIMENSIONS OF SIGNS. The face of each
of the two signs exists at 22.75 sq. ft. in area. with dimensions of

located at the entrance to the subject museum along the easterly side
of Love Lane. Mattituck. and the other on an existing fence along
the southerly side of County Road 48. a dual-lane highway. and both
signs are more particularly shown (highlighted) on the survey

3. CODE PROVISION. The prOVISion of the Code from which
the variance is requested is Article IX. Section 100-81C. subsection
2(a) {referred from Section 100-91C-2} - which states that such signs
are permitted accessory uses subject to the following requirements:
... (a) Freestanding or ground signs: where the
building is set back 25 feet or .ore f". the
street, one (1) sign, single or double faced, not
...re than 18 sq. ft., the 1-.- edge of which
shall not be less than four feet above the
ground,unless attached to a wall or fence, and
the upper edge of which shall not extend IIOre
than fifteen (15) feet above the ground, which
sign shall be set back not less than 15 feet f....
an street and property lines and shall advertise
only the business conducted on the p....;ses"... .
4. EXISTING SIGNS. Any other sign which may be at the
premises which does not have approval must be removed before
Issuance of building permits or certificate of occupancy pertaining
to this property.
5. STATE AUTHORIZATION. By letter dated January 31.
1994. the N.Y.S. Department of Transportation has confirmed
conformance with Sections 52 and 88 of the Highway Law, for two
fence-mounted signs.
6. OPPOSITION BY ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS. During
the hearing, opposition was received from the adjacent property
owners lon the north of this property), through their attorney,
together with a copy of a Memorandum listing the areas of concern __
all of which have been fully considered by the Board Members under
this application. At the April 6, 1994 hearing, the attorney for the
opponents alleged there were other areas to be addressed under the
pending site plan application before the Planning Board, and that the
subject variance may not, in her opinion, be segmented for only this
setback variance application on the fence signs. l No current
documentation from the enforcing" officerl s) or case law was,
however. submitted to support this claim.)" In addition, opponents
made other claims, at the April 6th hearing, stating there were
improprieties or noncompliance pertaining to the site plan, although
there was no evidence submitted by the opponents or their attorney
from the Building Department to support this claim - except that
there was an intent by opponents to file a written complaint over the
next few days with the Building Department, Town Attorney" and/or
Town Board to investigate or determine" the alleged noncompliance.
The Z. B. A. hearing record for the setbacks of the subject signs does
show that the Appeals Board Clerk did speak as recently as the
r Page" 3 - Appl. No. 4227 .
Application of WILLIAM GA~ER
Decision Rendered May 4, 1994
.
afternoon of the day of the, hearing (April 6, 1994) with Building
Inspector (Gary Fish) and that he told the Board' Clerk there were
no other items that he feels would be proper to bring before the
Board at this time particularly since he has been communicating with
the applicants directly and that the Gassers are proceeding to remedy
any outstanding problem, such as necessary screening' and other site
elements normally addressed by the Planning Board under Article
XXV of the Zoning Code. The issue raised during the April 6, 1994
hearing as to whether or not a parcel or building has unrelated
violations is not properly before the Board, and must initially be
addressed by the enforcing department or enforcing officer of the
Town. A determination on the sign setback application as applied
would not, however. preclude a subsequent appeal for different relief
by the owners of the subject parcel or an aggrieved party as
provided by New York Town Law. Section 267.
7. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS. The relief requested is an area
variance which pertains to the manner in which the land dimensions
or topographical requirements are to be authorized by the Board of
Appeals {ref. New York Town Law. Section 267(1)} amended July 1,
1992. This amendment' no longer includes the term "practical
difficulty" or any particular test, and now provides that ZBAs
consider two basic things:
a)
granted; and
the benefit to the applicant if the variance is

above, the Board Members have 'consi-
the following five factors for this
area
a) there will not be an undesirable change in the
character of the neighborhood or a detriment to nearby properties, if
granted; the fence is a permitted structure which is used for
screening, privacy and security purposes throughout the town, and
the purpose. for the proposed signs is for on-premises advertisement
which is permitted in the Hamlet-Business Zone District as an
accessory to the on-site use; the size of the sign is within the
limitation recommended by the Code Review Committee at 24 sq. ft. or
less;
b) the benefit sought by the applicant cannot be achieved
by some other method, feasible for the applicants, other than an area
variance; placement of the sign on the, interior of the property

(inside the fence enclosure}. would necessitate a different variance
as to sign height in order to be visible.
c) the area variance is not substantial - particularly in
light of the fact that the property is unique as to its L-shaped
configuration. narrow width. limited buildable. area, building
location which preexists the zoning regulations; and other
preexisting nonconformity! ies};
d) this area variance will not have an adverse effect or
impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the
neighborhood or business district; abutting the subject premises to
the south are the Long Island Railroad tracks; to the north is a
parcel of land occupied as a take-out restaurant service with
dwelling usels); the parcel was re-zoned on September 21, 1993 from
Light-Industrial and Residential Office mixed, to Hamlet Business;
e) although the fence signs have been existing for some
time and was self-created by the owners, New. York Town Law
provides that such action does not preclude. the grant of a variance
when all the other factors are considered;
f) the relief granted is the minimum necessary and at the
same time will preserve and protect the. character of the neighborhood
and the health, safety and welfare of the community; the sign is not
unsafe, insecure, damaged, deteriorated, and is not a menace to the
public.
8. PLANNING BOARD STATUS. Under the pending site-plan
application before the Southold Town Planning Board a letter dated
March 16, 1994 was sent to the owners/applicants that a variance was
required for the setbacks of the two signs, as exist. It is noted
that the site plan application is being held in abeyance pending the
outcome of the variance application, and a further review is
continuing.
9. PERMITTED SIGNS. The Building Department has indicated
that its department's ruling is that one on-premises advertising sign
is permitted for each road frontage; and when a parcel has frontage
along two roads, two on-premises signs would be permitted, one along
each separate road contiguous to the parcel, either single-faced or
double-faced; and that Section 100-81C of the zoning code does not in
their opinion prohibit more than one sign under these circumstances.

Member Wilton, it was

Re: Your Letter of May 6. 19911- - Pending Site Plan
SCTM #1000-140-2-16 (William Casser)
Dear Ms. Borrelli:
We are in receipt of, your. letter dated May 4. 1994 which was not
received until two days after (May 6, 1994) the Zoning Board's
determination pertaining to the sign setback application (copy
enclosed for your convenience). As part of the Board's review, the
applicant is required to meet all other zoning regulations and the
area variance determination pertaining to the signs does not preclude
an application for different relief by either the property owners or
an aggrieved party (Town Law. Section 267).
There are legitimate iss~es of concern in your letter. Although we
would like to be of assistance, these issues are not properly before
the Board of Appeals as required by New York Town Law. Section
267. and these are issues which are presently under review by
the enforcing department of the Town and the Planning Board
pursuant to previous correspondence forwarded by. you (to the Town
Board, Town Attorney and Building Department).
It does appear that further reviews and application will be necessary
by Mr. Casser with reference to the tbwer structure if the structure
is to be over 18 feet in height. Section 100-236 as referred to in
your second paragraph is restrictive upon residential zone districts,
however. it may also be necessary for the museum's displays and
attractions to be located in an enclosed building in the
Hamlet-Business Zone District (effective on or about January 10,
1989). All of these items are site plan elements before the
Planning Board at this time under its pending site-plan reviews
together with the Building Department once the plan has been
referred to the Building Inspector {if it has already. not been done
so.} We do agree that the conditions of the Change of Zone

approval by the Town Board must also be met.

the property owner or an aggrieved party pursuant to New York

interpretations~ . and based upon a written determination made. by the

Dear Mr, '>'ehringer:
T h;l~e reviewed Mr. Fish's memo to thn BOArd dated April 26,
1994 req(lqiing the above property.
Mr, I";sh gives a rather lengthy discuf,.,j,,,, of what constitutes
the reAr \"nrJ of the applicant's inverlNj "[," shaped parcel which
has fron' nqe on two streets. However, t:Ii" height rl'striction of
18' :is no' nddressed Although originally m",d ioned as a criteria to
be met. According to the code the "gun tower", an accessory
structuf", must not exceed 18' and must "lso meet the set-back
requiremnnr.s from any lot line no matter whnt constitutes the rear
of the p''''',d. The change of zone, additioll'l11y, further restricts
the 10c'l! i "n of the tower to at least ] 00' from Love Lane. Thus,
the towe] , if it exceeds 18' alld if it is I ,~ss than the requisite
feet frOlI] the side yard must seek a varianc'-, It must, however, be
at least !Of)' from Love Lane.
Mr. Fish's memo, erroneously, inter1'">I,, the war machines on
display "n the property as "storage" anrl it is his opinion that
such storAge is not arldressed in the code for the Hamlet Business
dist:ricl (See sec. 100--236 re outside "torage in residential
dist',icl) The war milchines are not storer!, They are an integral
part of Ihe museum's displays and attrilcti"ns and as such must be
enclosed in a building as is stilted in the ('ode. The fact that the
exhibits mnst be enclosed in a building hilS been stated by the
town's o',''''n c()nsu]tan~r;. (!=i~~ Rxhjbit 7 i1t!;l(~"("d to mf'TnOrilndum in
oppoBitl(11).
Hr. I,',sh's memo to you enclosed a copy of the Planning Board's
letter of January 21, 1994. I call this Rnnrd's attention to item
"3" whi,'iJ is a reiterelLioll of ,1 condition j,ln'ced on this property
when thp .'lTl~ change ~,'li1:si sSlled. PhotO(P:ilph~, t nken by my c11.ent at
~,
.
.
2 p.m. 'ln the date of the hearing cl"FlrJy indicate that the
screeninq is not complete. A review of the tape of the hearing
will reveAl that Mrs. Gasser stated they were finished with the
screening and all that would be done had be"n done. The incomplete
screening violates another condition of the zone change and adds
but anol- h",r violation of the requirements t hat are not being met by
this appl icant nor for which they are see~ing relief.
I 'rust this Board will examine the height and setback
requiremnnts of the code regarding the tower, will interpret for
itself what the displayed war machines constitute, which is
certainly not storage, and what full screening as a condition of
the zone change really means.
I thank you for your continued time and consideration of this
matter.
Very truly yours,

Re: Application for Site Plan Approval
American Armoured Foundation Inc.
'~)H(3.r Bob:
By now you have received a copy of my letter of April 7, 1994
regarding Mr. Gasser's application for a variance for signs.
At the ZBA hearing I stated there were numerous other
vio~ations of the code and that a request for a variance for one
v',.oj.ation was segmentation and should not be permitted. I
requested that the ZBA make official inquiry of the enforcement
officer regarding other violations. The ZBA has now made that
request. (copy of their recent memo attached).
It is our position that this site violates the requirements of
the zoning code and that certainly site plan approval cannot be
granted while such violations exist. The tower does not meet
heisrht and set back requirements despite its movement to comply
with one of the Town Board's conditions for granting a zone change.
The site has not met another condition of that approval in that the
fencing between the site and my clients property has not been
completely shielded. In addition, under the code a museum must be
wholly enclosed whereas there is war machinery in open view
throughout the site.

Re: ZBA Application of
Amer i,can Armoured FoundaJ:_i_Qn
Dear Ms. f)r)wd:
Last night I appeared in opposition to the above application
on behalf r)f the next dr)r)r n"ighbors, f)innp and Frank Ammirati.
The history of this site is contained in my memo to the Town Board
submitted in opposition to the applicants' request for a change of
zone (granted 9/93)(See Exhibit 3 & 3A attached to ZBA memo). My
opposition last night was two fold: first that the applicant has
not met the statutory requirements for a variance and second that
other variances are required for other code violations and the
segmentation being attempted was improper (copy of opposition memo
enclosed) .
During the course of the hearing the ZRA's secretary/assistant
advised that she spoke to the Building Inspector who had advised
that no other violations exist at the site. I requested that Mr.
Goehringer make official inquiry of the B.li lding Inspector on this
subject.
A p.-,rusal of my memos and a review of I h" voluminous files for
this site maintained by the ZBA, Planning f)opartment and Town Board
will, I am sure, reveal to you that "here are indeed code
violations present that require variances. Those violations have
been acknowledged by the Building Inspector (see Exhibit 5
attached to the ZBA memo), by the Planning Department (see Exhibits
6 & 8 attached to the ZBA memo), by the Town's consultants (see
Exhibit 7 attached to the ZBA memo), by the Town Board (see Exhibit
1 attached to the ZBA memo). The changing of Building Inspector's
has not changed the code. It exists now as it did in the past with
regard to the violations noted by the abov" entities. In the past
this applicant enjoyed somewhat favored treatment. It is our hope
that Wi~l~ , ~pw admj~i~trRtin" comes rrnrn~ r~~0 0nfnrcrment.

TOWN OF SOUTHOLD
-------------------------------------X
In The Matter Of The Petition of
SWTli TOWN
ftAHNlNG BOARD
William F. Gasser and the
American Amoured Foundation, Inc.,
For a variance from Article IX,
Section 100-91 C 2 (100-81-C-2-a)
of the Southold Town Zoning Code
-------------------------------------X
MEMORANDUM OF DIAlfE AlfD FRANK
AMMIRATI IN OPPOSITION TO THE
APPLICATION FOR A VARIAlfCE
STATEMENT OF FACTS
This property received a zone change from the Town Board on
September 22, 1993 (Exhibit 1) which decision specifically states
at item #5 that:
"The change of zone shall not in any way be considered at[s]
the granting of any variance necessary to the proposed use."
The above comment by the Town Board was apparently made because of
the prolonged1, improper use of the site and the applicants history
of a total disregard for the Town's zoning code.
In fact, the
application for a zone change was made because the then Town
Attorney said "enough is enough" as a result of the stalling
tactics of this applicant which had gone on much too long (Exhibit
2). A short synopsis of the history of this site follows:
It was purchased in September 1981. Prior to the purchase the
applicant sought guidance from the ZBA as to the uses available at
the site.
Mr. Gasser advised at the meeting that his hobby was
1in excess of ten years
.
.
armoured vehicles and he was interested in converting the existing
storage building to a museum.
This Board rightfully advised it
cou:_d not render an opinion without an application. The intended
use as voiced to the ZBA in 1980 prior to active purchase was not
permitted under the zoning code. Thus, this applicant even prior
to his purchase had every intention of creating an illegal use and
it :_s now 1994 some 14 years later and the illegalities have not
been remedied.
In 1988 a complaint regarding the then recently installed gun
tower prompted a memo from the Building Inspector in January 1989
which noted some of the existing violations.
None of those
violations, some seven years after observance by the Building
Inspector despite their continued existence have resulted in fines
and all go unremedied.
In 1989 the Planning Department determined a site plan was
required but an application was not submitted until 1991.
That
application is still pending and the instant application is a
result of discussions with the Planning Department.
In fact in
August 1991 Mr. Gasser was advised by the Planning Department that
ZBA action was required for the gun tower but to date no request
for a variance has been filed.
An application was filed in
February 1992 but it was returned as incomplete. The ZBA's letter
of return read in part
.,. .copy of the Certificate of Preexisting Use
and supporting documentation making reference
and certifying the 'non-conforming use' under
which the application is requested.....
Applicant obviously had on that occasion as applicant did with the
Planning Department (See Exhibit
claimed existence from a
.
.
period that pre-existed code requirements.
Applicant never
reapplied to this Board until the instant application for a
variance for signs.
POINT I
AN APPLICATION FOR A VARIANCE FOR ONE VIOLATION OF THE
CODE CANNOT BE GRANTED WHEN MULTIPLE VIOLATIONS EXIST.
A COMPREHENSIVE APPLICATION SEEKING A VARIANCE FOR ALL
VIOLATIONS MUST BE MADE.
A detailed history of this site is contained in opponents
memoranda submitted in opposition to the Petition for a Zone Change
(Exhibit 3 and 3A). Suffice it to say that this applicant has used
and abused the application process before the Planning Board, the
Zoning Board of Appeals and the Town Board to continue to operate
without the proper authority. The illegalities have been called to
the attention of the Town's enforcement officer on more than one
occasion but as of this date no summons has been issued and the
appl icant continues to operate in defiance of the code. The
undersigned's most recent letter of complaint is attached (Exhibit
4) .
The Building Inspector's office found violations of the code
as early as January 9, 1989. The Building Inspector stated at that
time that no order to remedy was issued in order to give "the
museum an opportunity to follow the normal process to clear up the
violations (Exhibit 5).
It is now five (5) years later and this
site has still not remedied its violations and yet it continues in
use without sanction from the Town of Southold. Despite the zone
change:
1. The site does not have site plan approval and the
.
.
application has meandered its way through the process since 1981.
In fact, it cannot receive site plan approval because of the
existing violations which require ZBA action.
2. The gun tower does not have a building permit and
violates the height and setback requirements of the code. The Town
Board's order to relocate the Tower at least 100' from the Love
Lane entrance (See Exhibit 1) has not instilled that Tower with
legitimacy as the Town Board has no authority to grant a variance
from the code's requirements. A location 100' from the Love Lane
entr-ance does not make it the requisite feet from the lot line, nor
does it make it shorter than 18' nor is the decision a substitute
for the non-existent building permit.
3. The museum is not fully enclosed in a building as is
required under the code but rather has war equipment throughout the
site for public viewing. The unhoused equipment is the museum's
prime focal point. (See Exhibits 3 and 4). It is in essence what
makes the museum a museum, albeit an unhoused museum in violation
of code requirements.
This applicant seeks approval from the Zoning Board of Appeals
for two signs which also do not meet code requirements. However,
even if this application were granted this site fails to have the
requisite authority to continue its use. By piece meal
application, delayed over years, this applicant has flagrantly
violated the code and more importantly has done so with impunity.
If 1:his Board grants the requested relief and the applicant
reappears before the Planning Board, that Board cannot act because
additional violations exist (See Exhibit 4).
.
.
On behalf of the opponents, I have asked that a summons be
issued for each violation thus mandating that the applicant appear
before this Board seeking all the relief that is required to
legitimize the operation (See Exhibit 4). This Board cannot grant
the requested variance for one violation when this site has
mul t:iple violations. To do so is to condemn the Board, the
applicant and the opponents to continued appearances as one facet
of a multi-faceted problem is pursued while the remainder wait
their turn. The applicant's strategy of piece-meal pursuit of the
requisite permits has allowed this illegal use to continue for
year's with impunity.
The tactics of this applicant are a flagrant misuse of the
syst.em. The request for a zone change was opposed by the Planning
Board (Exhibit 6) as they considered the indiscriminate realignment
of land as constituting spot zoning. The Town's environmental
consultant noted that even with the zone change the site would not
be in conformity with the code (Exhibit 7). However, the zone
change was granted (See Exhibit 1) with the aforementioned caveat
regarding violations (See page 1 herein) but the applicant seeks
now only to obtain a variance for signs conveniently ignoring all
other violations.
In November, 1992 I argued before the Town Board that the
applicant had shown a complete disregard for the law and yet had
avoided penalty. That scenario continues with this application.
This Board cannot grant this variance which addresses but one minor
violation of the code while the applicant continues to operate with
many major violations of the code. In 1991 the Town Planner wrote
.
.
a memo to the file (Exhibit 8) which concludes:
"In any case, the Planning Board cannot proceed with
site plan approval without the Zoning Board of
Appeals' review of the situation. At the least,
the property owner must apply for a building permit
for the tower. The existence of any other violations
or non-conformities must be determined by the Building
Department".
POINT II THE VARIANCE TO CONTINUE THE EXISTING SIGNS SHOULD
BE DENIED
The instant application which seeks to legitimize two signs
attached to the fence which faces Love Lane in Mattituck is but
another inappropriate step taken by the applicant in an attempt to
give a semblance of legitimacy to an illegal use.
The application for a variance (Exhibit 9) states that the
variance is requested because the property width will not allow for
conforming set-backs. The applicant advises that the zoning code
creates a hardship because it will not allow the applicant to
advise tourists of the entrance and alleviate traffic problems.
The applicant further claims uniqueness on the basis that all other
properties existing in HB are not confined to such a narrow width.
The applicant completes his application by advising that the
variance would not change the character of the district because of
the sign's subdued color and design. This is probably applicant's
only statement with which we partially agree as the proposed sign
in comparison to the deployed tanks and other war machines will
certainly not change the character of the district. The character
of t:his district changed in 1981 when the applicant began his
illegal use.
.
.
This property is oddly shaped having frontage on Middle Road
(Route 48) and Love Lane. It is 50' wide on Love Lane running back
almost 250' and then at a right angle about 375' to Middle Road
(Route 48) where it widens to 60'.
(See Exhibit 10)
Section 100-81-C (2) provides:
"Signs, subject to the
following requirements:
(a) Freestanding or ground signs: where
building is set back twenty-five (25) feet or
more from the street, one (1) sign, single-or
double- faced, not more than eighteen (18)
square feet, the lower edge of which shall be
not less than four (4) feet above the ground,
unless attached to a wall or fence, and the
upper edge of which shall not extend more than
fifteen (15) feet above the ground, which sign
shall be set back not less than fifteen (15)
feet from all street and property lines and
shall advertise only the business conducted on
the premises. As used in this subsection, the
word "premises" shall mean all contiguous
property in common ownership.
As can be seen from the property survey (See Exhibit 10) it is
not impossible for applicant to comply with the code. A sign at
this site can be placed 15' from side and front property lines and
still be visible from the roadway and entrance.
It is merely
inconvenient for applicant to move a sign that has been illegal
since installation in June, 19812. The fact that displayed tanks
and other war machines might interfere with the 15' requirement is
a self-imposed hardship.
The applicant also fails to note that under the applicable
section of the code only one sign is permitted which sign should be
not more than 18 square feet in size and placed in such a manner
2See Exhibit 10 where applicant's response to the question
"The month and year that the sign was placed on the property must
be provided" was "6( (81".
.
.
that it is not less than 4' above the ground.
There are two (2)
existing signs much in excess of 18 square feet and they are placed
only 26" above the ground (See Exhibit 9).
Thus, the applicant
really seeks a variance from the set-back, size and height above
ground requirements of the code.
Historically, this applicant
never reveals all the facts at one time causing confusion and
obfuscation all of which has allowed this illegal use to continue
for more than 13 years. At one point this applicant attempted to
obscure his illegality by claiming to be a pre-existing non-
conforming use (See Statement of Facts and Exhibit 11) but the
astute review of the history of this property by Board members put
that tactic to rest (See Statement of Facts and Exhibit 12).
POINT III THE APPLICANT HAS NOT MET HIS BURDEN UNDER SECTION 267-b
OF THE TOWN LAW
Section 267-b 3(b) of the Town Law sets forth the factors a
ZBA must weigh in making a determination on a request for an area
variance. The essence of the factors to be considered are:
-whether an undesirable change will be provided in the
neighborhood or a detriment to nearby properties;
-whether the benefit can be achieved by some other
feasible method.
-whether the variance is substantial.
-whether the variance will have an adverse effect on
physical or environmental conditions of the area.
-whether the difficulty encountered is self created.
Subsection (C) cautions the ZBA to "grant the minimum variance
.
.
it shall deem necessary and adequate".
By submitting a request for a variance for signs and ignoring
the remaining violations of the code, the undersigned believes the
applicant is seeking to minimize the perceived relief requested and
thus comply with the statutory requirements. A sign is unlikely to
present an undesirable change or have an adverse effect on the
environment. This variance if coupled with the others that are
required would make it very difficult for the applicant to meet the
statutory requirement. However, by seeking only a variance for
signs the applicant attempts to secure a positive decision. The
relief requested has been minimized by ignoring the other code
violations that require ZBA action. In fact, this applicant has
not completed the screening required by the Town Board when it
granted the zone change and thus applicant violates a condition of
the zone change, in addition to several code violations. The
benefits of the sign can be achieved by a conforming sign
especially since an obstructions to compliance are self-created.
CONCLUSION:
It is time that some Board in the Town of Southold said
"enough" . It is time some Board demand and mandate that this
applicant comply with the law (See Exhibit 13).
The applicant purchased the property in 1981. He commenced an
illegal use and he has reaped the economic rewards of that use to
the detriment of his neighbors for some 13 years while he has toyed
with the legal structure and made a mockery of zoning laws.
.
.
The application should be denied and applicant should be
ordered to submit a request for relief encompassing all code
violation within a stated period of time or face penalty and/or
closure.

Re: Your Request to Meet with ZBA and PB Concerning
Outstanding Violation and/or Complaint Against Gasser Parcel
E/s Love Lane and S/s C.R. 48, Mattituck (1000-140-2-16)
Dear Mr. Ross:
I have reviewed your letter requesting a conference with town
departments.
As you may not know, our office has not been involved with
complaints filed against Mr. Gasser's property at Love Lane,
Mattituck. However, in reviewing with the Planning Board file,
it appears that complaints have been made through their office
and the Building Inspector.
Also, you will note that the Z.B.A. does not have an application
on file at this time. It is apparent that you have legal
issues or legal questions which may affect enforcement or steps
to possibly resolve violation complaints, and any conferences
for town departments and staff on such matters must be at the
direction of our Town Attorney. You should feel free to
discuss this matter with Mr. Arnoff if there is a jurisdictional
problem.
Very truly yours,
GERARD P. GOEHRINGER

Attention: Mr. Daniel C. Ross
Re: Planning Board Office Letter to American Amoured
Foundation, Inc. dated December 20, 1991
Dear Mr. Ross,
During the annual inspection of the tank museum this January,
I was shown the Planning Board's request that a stockade fence
or equivalent be placed around th~ entire museum perimeter
except for the southern fence line that runs adjacent to the
railroad tracks. I wish to point out that the tank museum is
a federally charted military museum installation warehousing
government owned property in the form of heavy weapons. As
such the museum is required to meet strict DOD regulations for
storage and security of this government property. Para 3A (9),
DOD Reg. 4160.21-M regulations state that the museum must main-
tain and protect these weapons to federal government specifica-
tions. It is mandatory that the museum certify to this condi-
tion each year (please see copy enclosed). It is also manda-
tory that the museum not disregard any of these federal regula-
.tions.
It is this Army office, to which I'm attached that controls fed-
eral government weapons for the area. Thus the tank museum
falls under my jurisdiction. In reviewing the Planning Board's
request for additional fencing as reiterated above; I find that
this request would place the tank museum in conflict with the
above stated federal DOD regulations. It would not be in the
best interest of the federal government if the existing fence or
property were altered by the addition of screening. Security
of these weapons and especially security of the general public
from illegal tampering of these weapons would be greatly reduced
by any form of screening. Inspections by this office and the
Bureau of Alcohol, Tabacco and Firearms are made periodically of
the tank museum. Unrestricted view of these weapons from outside
the property thru the metal fence is required for these inspections
to be made. The existing fence was approved by the DOD when the
museum opened in 1981. Please note: federal firearms regulations
take precedence over any state or local laws as to the security
of these weapons as mandated by U.S. Code 18, Chapter 44. I
trust that the town officials will understand that federal reg-
ulations take precedence in this matter, and that the museum
"must meet the~ in their entirety, regardless of choice.

In view of the above regulations, I have instructed the tank
museum to take no action that would violate the law, and there-
fore not to add screening as was requested. During the January
inspection, Mr. Gasser of the tank museum indicated that this
instruction would place the museum in an undesirable compromised
position with the town's request. Mr. Gasser asked that this
order be placed in writing and forwarded to you for transmittal
to the town's officials. In addition, Mr. Gasser indicated as
a gesture of good faith the museum would attempt to raise add-
itional donation funds which would be used to place slats on
the northern part of the museum's parking area where the restaur-
ant's visitors might gather. The offer is contrary to security
instructions, however if no other screening obstructions are
added, then this will be the maximum visibility blockage that
will be accepted by this Army office.
I trust that this letter clarifie~ the screening situation, and
hope that the town understands the Army position on this matter.
Any further correspondence as may occur from the town or museum,
should be forwarded directly to this office and my attention.
Unless notified to the contrary however, this matter is considered
closed.
Thank you for your understanding.
Sincerely,
A-~S:::/ ~

Harvey A. Arnoff, Town Attorney
FROM:
Office of the Board of Appeals
DATE:
March 27, 1992
SUBJECT: Incomplete Application - William Gasser
Planning Board Communications
Neighbor's Written Complaint to Planning Board
We have received correspondence from Daniel C. Ross, attorney
for William Gasser concerning Mr. Gasser's property at Love
Lane, Mattituck. It appears that the American Armoured
Foundation, Inc. may have a lease for a museum at Mr. Gasser's
site for a federally charted military tank museum "installation"
which warehouses government owned heavy weapons for museum
use.
Mr. Gasser's attorney forwarded to us an application for
variances; however, there were several areas of the application
which were found defective (see our letter to Mr. Ross dated
February 25, 1992). You will also note that the Notice of
Disapproval issued December 20, 1991 refers to enlargement of a
nonconforming use, although there is no record of the existence
of the museum prior to 1957. .
Since the ZBA's application is defective, we have returned it to
Mr. Ross for resubmission, if necessary.
Dan Ross has asked for a conference with town representatives to
discuss a complaint by the neighbor and his counsel. We are
suggesting that Mr. Ross contact your office directly to discuss
the complaint and any other questions Mr. Ross may have
regarding the town and federal regulations for military
museums.
If you find that there is a need for a representative from the
ZBA concerning an appeal process, we would be happy to help.

The Board asks that the screening be placed around the

the screening.

Attention:

Re: American Armoured Foundation, Inc. ("AAF")
Dear Mr. Orlowski:
This will acknowledge your correspondence of August 28,
1991 and December 3, 1991 regarding the referenced matter.
My apologies for the delay in responding. Enclosed is
the proposed site plan you requested. We request the Board
reconsider item 1 of your August 28, 1991 correspondence.
Item 1 calls for the total screening of the property. It is
our understanding that only one neighbor has objections to
the present use of the subject property. Consequently, it
is overkill to require complete screening. The Railroad
borders on the South and Route 48 on the North. We are
informed the neighbor to the East does not object to the
view or use and, consequently, request screening not be
required on the East. If you desire the neighbors position
be set forth in writing, let me know. As to screening
bet~'leen the museum and the. campl~.ining neighbor, Mr. and
Mrs. Gasser are considering weaving the existing chain link
fence with slates of some type.
We will request a Notice of Disapproval from the
Building Inspector and will proceed to request a variance
upon receipt of the Notice of Disapproval.

Re: Planning Board Office Letter to American Amoured
Foundation, Inc. dated December 20, 1991
Dear Mr. Ross,
During the annual inspection of the tank museum this January,
I was shown the Planning Board's request that a stockade fence
or equivalent be placed around th~ entire museum perimeter
except for the southern fence line that runs adjacent to the
railroad tracks. I wish to point out that the tank museum is
a federally charted military museum installation warehousing
government owned property in the form of heavy weapons. As
such the museum is required to meet strict DOD regulations for
storage and security of this government property. Para 3A (9),
DOD Reg. 4160.21-M regulations state that the museum must main-
tain and protect these weapons to federal government specifica-
tions. It is mandatory that the museum certify to this condi-
tion each year (please see copy enclosed). It is also manda-
tory that the museum not disregard any of these federal regula-
.tions.
It is this Army office, to which I'~ attached that controls fed-
eral government weapons for the area. Thus the tank museum
falls under my jurisdiction. In reviewing the Planning Board's
request for additional fencing as reiterated above; I find that
this request would place the tank museum in conflict with the
above stated federal DOD regulations. It would not be in the
best interest of the federal government if the existing fence or
property were altered by the addition of screening. Security
of these weapons and especially security of the general public
from illegal tampering of these weapons would be greatly reduced
by any form of screening. Inspections by this office and the
Bureau of Alcohol, Tabacco and Firearms are made periodically of
the tank museum. Unrestricted view of these weapons from outside
the property thru the metal fence is required for these inspections
to be made. The existing fence was approved by the DOD when the
museum opened in 1981. Please note: federal firearms regulations
take precedence over any state or local laws as to the security
of these weapons as mandated by U.S. Code 18, Chapter 44. I
trust that the town officials will understand that federal reg-
ulations take precedence in this matter, and that the museum
must meet them in their entirety, regardless of choice.

In view of the above regulations, I have instructed the tank
museum to take no action that would violate the law, and there-
fore not to add screening as was requested. During the January
inspection, Mr. Gasser of the tank museum indicated that this
instruction would place the museum in an undesirable compromised
position with the town's request. Mr. Gasser asked that this
order be placed in writing and forwarded to you for transmittal
to the town's officials. In addition~ Mr. Gasser indicated as
a gesture of good faith the museum would attempt to raise add-
itional donation funds which would. be used to place slats on
the northern part of the museum's parking -area where the restaur-
ant's visitors might gather. The offer is contrary to security
instructions, however if no other screening obstructions are
added, then this will be the maximum visibility blockage that
will be accepted by this Army office.
I trust that this letter clarifie~ the screening situation, and
hope that the town understands the Army position on this matter.
Any further correspondence as may occur from the town or museum,
should be forwarded directly to this office and my attention.
Unless notified to the contrary however, this matter is considered
closed.
Thank you for your understanding.

Incomplete Application - William Gasser
Planning Board Communications
Neighbor's Written Complaint to Planning
Board
We have received correspondence from Daniel C. Ross, attorney
for William Gasser concerning Mr. Gasser's property at Love
Lane, Mattituck. It appears that the American Armoured
Foundation, Inc. may have a lease for a museum at Mr. Gasser's
site for a federally charted military tank museum "installation"
which warehouses government owned heavy weapons for museum
use.
Mr. Gasser's attorney forwarded to us an application for
variances; however, there were several areas of the application
which were found defective (see our letter to Mr. Ross dated
February 25, 1992). You will also note that the Notice of
Disapproval issued December 20, 1991 refers to enlargement of a
nonconforming use, although there is no record of the existence
of the museum prior to 1957. .
Since the ZBA's application is defective, we have returned it to
Mr. Ross for resubmission, if necessary.
Dan Ross has asked for a conference with town representatives to
discuss a complaint by the neighbor and his counsel. We are
suggesting that Mr. Ross contact your office directly to discuss
the complaint and any other questions Mr. Ross may have
regarding the town and federal regulations for military
museums.
If you find that there is a need for a representative from the
ZBA concerning an appeal process, we would be happy to help.

Attention:

Re: American Armoured Foundation, Inc. ("AAF")
Dear Mr. Orlowski:
This will acknowledge your correspondence of August 28,
1991 and December 3, 1991 regarding the referenced matter.
My apologies for the delay in responding. Enclosed is
the proposed site plan you requested. We request the Board
reconsider item 1 of your August 28, 1991 correspondence.
Item 1 calls for the total screening of the property. It is
our understanding that only one neighbor has objections to
the present use of the subject property. Consequently, it
is overkill to require complete screening. The Railroad
borders on the South and Route 48 on the North. We are
informed the neighbor to the East does not object to the
view or use and, consequently, request screening not be
required on the East. If you desire the neighbors position
be set forth in writing, let me know. As to screening
bet't-leen the museum and the. comple.ining neighbor, Mr.. and
Mrs. Gasser are considering weaving the existing chain link
fence with slates of some type.
We will request a Notice of Disapproval from the
Building Inspector and will proceed to request a variance
upon receipt of the Notice of Disapproval.

On Tuesday November 19, 1991, I received a call from Mr.
Ammirati of Ammiriati's Cupboard regarding the status of the
American Armoured Foundation site plan. I infOrmed Mr.
Ammirati that a letter would go out to the museum reminding
them to apply for a variance to the Board of Appeals and to
respond to the Planning Boards letter of August 28, 1991,
requesting additional information . If the response is not

MEMORANDUM
TO:
File on Proposed Site Plan for
American Armoured Foundation, Inc.
N/E/c LIRR Right of Way & Love Lane, Mattituck.
SCTM 11 1000.-140-2-16
Zoning: RO (Residential Office and LI (Light
Industrial)
FROM:
Valer ie Scopaz, Town Planner./ S
DATE:
August 28, 1991
In the RO district, museums are allowed by Special
Exception. The building and the portion of the property to the
south of it lie within the LI district, which does not permit
the museum use.
However, it appears that this use predates the 1989 zoning
changes. Bef<:lre 1989, all of the property was zoned "C"
Industrial. The museum use was not a permitted use then either.
However, it appears that the use was allowed to be introduced
and continued. Our records do not indicate when the use began,
nor what approvals were obtained at that time.
In any case, the Planning Board cannot proceed with site
plan approval without the Zoning Board of Appeals' review of the
~situation. At the least, the property owner must apply for a
building permit for the tower. The existance of any other
violations or non-conformities must be determinined by the
Building Department.

Dear Mr. Gasser:
The Planning Board has reviewed the amended site plans
dated July 16, 1991. The Board also inspected the property on
August 23rd.
.
We find that before we can proceed, it will be necessary
for you to apply to the Zoning Board of Appeals for a variance
for the placement of an accessory structure (tower) within the
required front yard setback in the LI district.
The Board also asks that the following information be shown
on the site plan:
/1. A plan for complete visual screening of the property.
This can be accomplished by the placement of a wood
stockade fence or landscaping (or a combination of same)
around the perimeter of the property.
~2. The location of the zoning district line that splits
the property; and identification of each district.
3. A notation that a sign will be placed at the entrance
~to the museum directing visitors to park in the municipal
V parking lot across the street.
'\
(
Upon receipt of revised plans and a variance from the
Zoning Board of Appeals, this Board will be able to proceed with
Aour application. In order to apply to the Board of Appeals, you
will need to apply to the Building Department for a building
permit for the tower. '-

Gentlemen:
We are the attorneys for American Armoured Foundation
Inc. and writing to you in response to your letter of
February 4, 1991. You have stated that after an inspection
of the premises you believe that a site plan is required.
Our client advises that its operation at the premises has
not changed in over ten years and that until the inception
of the present issue of the site plan requirement there has
never been a problem in connection with the use or the
occupancy of the premises. Accordingly, in light of the
foregoing we ask you to reconsider your requirement of a
site plan.

Dear Mr. Orlowski:
Thank you for your letter dated December 20, 1988 with respect
to the captioned matter.
Our initial question is to determine whether a metal framed
tower, which is located on the premises requires a site plan.
In our original submission, we showed a copy of the site plan
with a tower, which was 7'4" square at its base, and 20' high,
and which is set back 4' from the property line, which is
enclosed with a chain link fence.
During World War II, the tower was located in Mattituck, over-
looking Long Island Sound, and was utilized as a look-out tower
in conjunction with air raid defenses, and defense of Long
Island. The tower was relocated to the site and now stands as
'a POW/MIA memorial. The tower is not utilized for anything but
an exhibit. We enclose a copy of the map of the property, showing
the location of the tower outlined in red.
Our basic question was to determine whether the tower required
a site plan and building permit in order to maintain same in its
present location.
Thank you for your courtesy.

Re: American Armoured Foundation Inc. Museum
SCTM #1000-140-2-16
640 Love Lane, Mattituck, N.Y.
Dear Mr. Orlowski:
I have received a copy of your ruling, dated 12/20/88,
concerning the above business.
I also read a copy of the letter from Mr. John Marcin dated
Oct. 24, 1988 requesting the ruling whether site planning is
needed.
This letter is a clarification of why I requested the
museum to find out about site planning.
The Building Department has been receiving complaints
concerning the museum regarding parking and trespassing on
adjoining property.
When I investigated the complaint I found violations to the
Code of the Town of Southold.
.
,
The first is that the tower was installed without first
obtaining a Building Permit.
The second is that part of the property on County Route 48
is zoned "A" Residential/Agricultural and is being used in a
business capacity whereby equipment is being displayed.
The third is that site planning or approval was never
obtained to have a museum. On Nov. 20, 1980 Mr. Gasser had an
informal discussion with the Z.B.A. but never submitted a formal
application.
....~ ....
(
(
,
Because there has been no site planning the adjoining
neighbor is complaining that people are parking their cars on
his property and they are walking on his property to look into
the museum which is not properly screened.
I did not issue an order to remedy the violations because
I wanted to give the museum an opportunity to follow the normal
process to clear up the violations.
I trust with this additional information that was omitted
by Mr. Marcin you will reevaluate your opinion if site plan is
needed.
Please advise me of your decision.
In the future if a similar situation arises it may be
advantageous to contact the Building Department so that all the
facts may be presented.
Very truly yours, _ (J

The Planning Board reviewed your correspondence dated
October 24, 1988.
A site plan is not required unless a structure is being
added to the site. It is not clear from the letter what
structure (s) is being proposed.

Re: American Armoured Foundation, Inc.

Love Lane, Mattituck, New York
Site Plan Approval
Dear Mr. Orlowski:
We represent Mr. William Gasser, Director of American Armoured
Foundation, Inc., who own and maintain a military tank museum at
the captioned premises, as a not-for-profit corporation and
operation.
At the suggestion of Mr. Vincent R. Wieczorek, Ordinance Inspector
of the Town of Southold, we are writing to you to request whether
site planning approval is necessary for the captioned premises,
which is used for the storage and display of military tank and
armoured equipment, all of which have been rendered incapable of
military use, but have a historical value and interest.
We enclose a copy of a survey of the premises, which is L-shaped
extending from a 50 ft. wide parcel on Love Lane to a 60 ft. wide
parcel on County Road 27 (North Road). The parcel is improved with
,a corrugated metal building, having a width of 55 ft. and a depth
of 120 ft. in which equipment is stored and displayed.
The portion of the premises on Love Lane having a width of 50 ft.
by a depth of 248.50 ft. is used for access to the building as
well as for parking and display of equipment. There is a tower
located in the southwest portion of the parking area, which is
disignated "POVl/MIAMemorial Tower", having a base of 4 ft. X 4 ft.
and a height of approximately 20 feet. This tower was used by the
Military during World War II as a gun implacement-lookout tower
when the Military used a portion of the frontage along Long Island
Sound, North of the Village of Mattituck as a gunnery range.
Equipment stored and displayed in the parking area is relocated
according to seasonal requirements~ Fifteen parking spaces are

available on site at all times.
Mr. Gasser has also obtained permission from the North Fork Bank to
utilize their parking area northerly of their bank building on
Love Lane and adjacent to the LIRR track.
We would appreciate your reviewing the foregoing and advising
as to whether site plan approval is necessary. If you require
any additional documentation, please advise. In the alternative,
we would welcome the opportunity to meet with the Planning Board
to review this matter and provide and supply any additional
information or documentation that the Board may require.
Thank you for your courtesy in this matter.

Dear Mr. Ross:
The Planning Board has received your letter of December 10,
1991, requesting a modification of the Board's request to
completely screen the above mentioned property.
The Board asks that the screening be placed around the
entire property with the exception of the south side facing the
railroad. A wood stockade fence or equivalent should be used for
the screening.
If you have any questions, or require further information,
please contact this office.
Very truly yours,

Attention: Bennett Orlowski, Jr., Chairman
Re: American Armoured Foundation, Inc. ("AAF")
Dear Mr. Orlowski:
This will acknowledge your correspondence of August 28,
1991 and December 3, 1991 regarding the referenced matter.
My apologies for the delay in responding. Enclosed is
the proposed site plan you requested. We request the Board
reconsider item 1 of your August 28, 1991 correspondence.
Item 1 calls for the total screening of the property. It is
our understanding that only one neighbor has objections to
the present use of the subject property. Consequently, it
is overkill to require complete screening. The Railroad
borders on the South and Route 48 on the North. We are
informed the neighbor to the East does not object to the
view or use and, consequently, request screening not be
required on the East. If you desire the neighbor~ position
be set forth in writing, let me know. As to screening
between the museum and the complc.ining neighbor, Mr. and
Mrs. Gasser are considering weaving the existing chain link
fence with slates of some type.
We will request a Notice of Disapproval from the
Building Inspector and will proceed to request a variance
upon receipt of the Notice of Disapproval.

MEMORANDUM TO FILE
Site plan for American Armoured Foundation
SCTM~ 1000-140-2-16
On Tuesday November 19, 1991, I received a call from Mr.
Ammirati of Ammiriati's Cupboard regarding the status of the
American Armoured Foundation site plan. I informed Mr.
Ammirati that a letter would go out to the museum reminding
them to apply for a variance to the Board of Appeals and to
respond to the Planning Boards letter of August 28, 1991,
requesting additional information . If the response is not
received the matter will be turned over~ enforcement.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
File on Proposed Site Plan for
American Armoured Foundation, Inc.
N/E/c LIRR Right of Way & Love Lane, Mattituck.
SCTM ~ 1000-140-2-16
Zoning: RO (Residential Office and LI (Light
Industrial)
FROM:
Valerie Scopaz, Town Planner1s
DATE:
August 28, 1991
In the RO district, museums are allowed by Special
Exception. The building and the portion of the property to the
south of it lie within the LI district, which does not permit
the museum use.
However, it appears that this use predates the 1989 zoning
changes. Before 1989, all of the property was zoned "C"
Industrial. The museum use was not a permitted use then either.
However, it appears that the use was allowed to be introduced
and continued. Our records do not indicate when the use began,
nor what approvals were obtained at that time.
In any case, the planning Board cannot proceed with site
plan approval without the Zoning Board of Appeals' review of the
situation. At the least, the property owner must apply for a
building permit for the tower. The existance of any other
violations or non-conformities must be determinined by the
Building Department.

Dear Mr. Gasser:
The Planning Board has reviewed the amended site plans
dated July 16, 1991. The Board also inspected the property on
August 23rd.
We find that before we can proceed, it will be necessary
for you to apply to the Zoning Board of Appeals for a variance
for the placement of an accessory structure (tower) within the
required front yard setback in the LI district.
The Board also asks that the following information be shown
on the site plan:
1. A plan for complete visual screening of the property.
This can be accomplished by the placement of a wood
stockade fence or landscaping (or a combination of same)
around the perimeter of the property.
2. The location of the zoning district line that splits
the property; and identification of each district.
3. A notation that a sign will be placed at the entrance
to the museum directing visitors to park in the municipal
parking lot across the street.
.
.,
Upon receipt of revised plans and a variance from the
Zoning Board of Appeals, this Board will be able to proceed with
your application. In order to apply to the Board of Appeals, you
will need to apply to the Building Department for a building
permit for the tower.
If further questions should arise, please contact this
office.

of the premises you believe that a site plan is required.
Our client advises that its operation at the premises has

Dear Mr. Orlowski:
Thank you for your letter dated December 20, 1988 with respect
to the captioned matter.
Our initial question is to determine whether a metal framed
tower, which is located on the premises requires a site plan.
In our original sUbmission, we showed a copy of the site plan
with a tower, which was 7'4" square at its base, and 20' high,
and which is set back 4' from the property line, which is
enclosed with a chain link fence.
During World War II, the tower was located in Mattituck, over-
looking Long Island Sound, and was utilized as a look-out tower
in conjunction with air raid defenses, and defense of Long
Island. The tower was relocated to the site and now stands as
a POW/MIA memorial. The tower is not utilized for anything but
an exhibit. We enclose a copy of the map of the property, showing
the location of the tower outlined in red.
Our basi~ question was to determine whether the tower required
a site plan and building permit in order to maintain same in its
present location.
Thank you for your courtesy.

Re: American Armoured Foundation Inc. Museum

Dear Mr. Orlowski:
I have received a copy of your ruling, dated 12/20/88,
concerning the above business.
I also read a copy of the letter from Mr. John Marcin dated
Oct. 24, 1988 requesting the ruling whether site planning is
needed.
This letter is a clarification of why I requested the
museum to find out about site planning.
The Building Department has been receiving complaints
concerning the museum regarding parking and trespassing on
adjoining property.
When I investigated the complaint I found violations to the
Code of the Town of Southold.
The first is that the tower was installed without first
obtaining a Building Permit.
The second is that part of the property on County Route 48
is zoned "A" Residential/Agricultural and is being used in a
business capacity whereby equipment is being displayed.
The third is that site planning or approval was never
obtained to have a museum. On Nov. 20, 1980 Mr. Gasser had an
informal discussion with the Z.B.A. but never submitted a formal
application.
.......--,.
'"
.
.
Because there has been no site planning the adjoining
neighbor is complaining that people are parking their cars on
his property and they are walking on his property to look into
the museum which is not properly screened.
I did not issue an order to remedy the violations because
I want~ed to give the museum an opportunity to follow the normal
process to clear up the violations.
I trust with this additional information that was omitted
by Mr.. Marcin you will reevaluate your opinion if site plan is
needed.
][>lease advise me of your decision.
In the future if a similar situation arises it may be
advantageous to contact the Building Department so that all the
facts may be presented.

Re: American Armoured Foundation, Inc.

Love Lane, Mattituck, New York
site Plan Approval
Dear Mr. Orlowski:
We represent Mr. william Gasser, Director of American Armoured
Foundation, Inc., who own and maintain a military tank museum at
the captioned premises, as a not-for-profit corporation and
operation.
At the suggestion of Mr. Vincent R. Wieczorek, Ordinance Inspector
of the Town of Southold, we are writing to you to request whether
site planning approval is necessary for the captioned premises,
which is used for the storage and display of military tank and
armoured equipment, all of which have been rendered incapable of
military use, but have a historical value and interest.
We enclose a copy of a survey of the premises, which is L-shaped
extending from a 50 ft. wide parcel on Love Lane to a 60 ft. wide
parcel on County Road 27 (North Road). The parcel is improved with
a corrugated metal building, having a width of 55 ft. and a depth
of 120 ft. in which equipment is stored and displayed.
The portion of the premises on Love Lane having a width of 50 ft.
by a depth of 248.50 ft. is used for access to the building as
well as for parking and display of equipment. There is a tower
located in the southwest portion of the parking area, which is
disignated "powl~1IA Memorial Tower", having a base of 4 ft. X 4 ft.
and a height of approximately 20 feet. This tower was used by the
Military during World War II as a gun implacement-lookout tower
when the Military used a portion of the frontage along Long Island
sound, North of the Village of Mattituck as a gunnery range.
Equipment stored and displayed in the parking area is relocated
according to seasonal requirements~ Fifteen parking spaces are

available on site at all times.
Mr. Gasser has also obtained permission from the NorthF.ork Bank to
utilize their parking area northerly of their bank building on
Love Lane and adjacent to the LIRR track.
We would appreciate your reviewing the foregoing and advising
as to whether site plan approval is necessary. If you require
any additional documentation, please advise. In the alternative,
we would welcome the opportunity to meet with the Planning Board
to review this matter and provide and supply any additional
information or documentation that the Board may require.
Thank you for your courtesy in this matter.
