PETITIONER'S MEMORANDUM
OF LAW ON RESPONDENT'S
CROSS-MOTION TO DISMISS

acCOmpanying petition.
The grounds asserted are
In lieu of answering respondent crass-moved to dismiss.
1. The proceeding is jurisdictionally defective.
2. The determination is not final.
3. The petition does not state a cause of action.
Point I.
The Court has JUrisdiction of the Parties;
The "Notice" was Good.
.
.
The "notice of motion" read:
. .
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that upon the annexed
petition of Kathrine Farr, verified the 20th day of
August, 1983, the undersigned will move this Court
at a Special Term, Part I thereof to be held at the
County Courthouse, Riverhead, New York, on the

forenoon or as Soon thereafter as counsel can be

in the petition.

was available for the asking. Accordingly, it is assumed to be asserted
seriously. The response to that is that is simply cannot be taken seriously.
.
Point II.
The Determination is Final
The attorney for the respondent and the attorney for the petitioner
are at serious odds about finality.
Suffice it to eaythereis no appeal from the respondent's resolution
in the town's administrative set up.
Petitioner needs Zoning Board of Appeal's approval. Zoning
Board of Appeals requires Planning Board's site plan okay. Planning Board,
in effect, says "draw the plan this way if you want our approval". We do,
They disapprove. Zoning Board of Appeals says: we sit here until we get
Planning Board's site plan okay.
It may very well be in the sense respondent's counsel asserts
that these government agencies will crank up the old merry-go-round again
while we appeal for reconsideration, joint meetings, and the like, but, no
thanks, this petitioner m s had it with that sort of governmental gobbledy-gook.

and additionally ask for blanket relief.
c. No cause of action is stated in the petition;

5. The "Notice" question is strictly law. The "aggrieved party"

deems appropriate.

It shows petitioner started an application for an approval of site plan on
May 24th, 1983. On June 1st a revision was asked for, and the respondent
received such a revised plan on June 7th. On June 14th respondent
"requested additional information be ire luded in the site plan" and asked
for it in writing to petitioner on June 21st. Three days later on June 24th
the information was supplied.

19. Mr. Lark, commenting on that on page six of his affidavit

.
.
20. Upon checking with the Zoning Board of Appeals after
receipt of the respondent's July 26th letter I was told the petitioner's
applications were continued in abeyance until they have an approved
site plan.
21. Respondent's attorney reads the Southold Code and tells
the petitioner she can (a) call for another meeting, (b) ask the Zoning
Board of Appeals for a variance, (c) request a joint meeting of the Zoning
Board of Appeals and the respondent, or "proceed with the existing site
plan 'as is' and have the Building Inspector certify the plan pursuant to
$100-133 (B)(C)(D) of the Zoning Code, and resubmit same to the Planning
Board for its approval or disapproval".
22. That's just back around in circles again. The petitioner
can't. "have the BUilding Inspector certify" anything. We Can't submit a
site plan'k conformity with the code" because of the size of the lot.
23. What's proposed is doubletalk. First they say it's not final
until the Appeals Board acts and the Appeals Board takes the position it
can't act until it has an approved site plan.
24. That is plain and simple "final" in my book although it
may also be circuitous.
25. The ever present attitude of all of the administrative bodies
of the town is exemplified in the last sentence of paragraph 5 of Mr. Lark's
affidavit which instructs even the Court that it cannot tell the Planning
Board what to do.
- 4 -
.
.
26. Paragraph 6 of Mr. Lark's affidavit appears to be a verbal
way of breaking the log-jam now created by the Zoning Board of Appeals.
The trouble is, although that would be a pragmatic way to go, they decline
to do so.
27. Finally, as to the no cause of action reason given for
dismissing the petition at this stage: respondent's argument is simply
incorrect.
The allegations of the petition have, along with the motion to
dismiss. prompted the respondent to SUpply a return and Mr. Lark's
affidavit reaches into the merits. Undoubtedly issues are raised and
while petitioner thinks an answer ordered by the court even if it is a denial
will raise more issues that will result in further affidavits and exhibits
on which the Court can make a determination without a hearing, she would
nevertheless welcome such a hearing to be afforded the opportunity to show
in an adversary proceeding how utterly mistaken and wrong the respondent is.
28. The motion to dismiss should be denied and respondent directed
to answer. In view of original further notice, petitioner should have five
days before the proceeding is re-calendared after service of the answer.
29. Petitioner submits the Court will instruct respondent to
read "motion" as "petition" in the original notice and get on with the substance
of this matter as $5103, 104, l05(b) and 405 of the CPLR indicate.
30. Affirmant had filed a note of issue for a cross-motion to
correct the original wording of the notice, but later decided that was a
- 5 -

.

quite unnecessary further motion and that the Court had all the papers
it needed without anytlting more.
31. Granting the wording could have been more precise, the
respondent surely had notice of whl t the proceeding was all about.

STATE OF NEW YORK:
SS:
COUNTY OF SUFFOLK:
RICHARD F. LARK, being duly sworn, deposes and says:
1. I am an attorney at law duly admitted to practice in the
Courts of this State with offices at Main Road, cutchogue, New
York, and have been retained to represent the Respondent in the
above-captioned proceeding.
2. The above-captioned proceeding was commenced by service
'I of a Notice of Motion dated August 20, 1983, accompanied by a
Petition of Kathrine Farr verified August 20, 1983, which were
,served upon the Respondent on August 23, 1983, <copies of which
are annexed hereto as Exhibits A and B res~ectively).
3. At the outset, I wish to point out to the Court the above
I captioned proceeding should be dismissed because it is jurisdic-
tionally defective. In reading the Petition it appears to be an
Article 78 proceeding in that Petitioner is requesting the Court
"'...r~.,."."l_~"_'"
,
.
.
to declare the Southold Town Zoning Code unconstitutional as it
applies to Petitioner's property and for a judgment directing the
Respondent Southold Town Planning Board to approve Petitioner's
,site plan. m.g S7804(al defines an Article 78 proceeding as a
"
"special proceeding and requires under m.g S7804(cl the pro-
ceeding be commenced either by an Order to Show Cause or a Notice
:of Petition to be served upon the Respondent. This was not done
(See Exhibit A)
in this proceeding; instead a Notice of Motion was served,land
'therefore, the proceeding is jurisdictionally defective. The
requirements of m.g S7804 are consistent with CPLR Article 4
which governs special proceedings and requires a Notice of
Petition to be served in the ~ame manner as a Summons. The point
being, in a special proceeding such as an Article 78, the Notice
of Petition takes the place of a Summons, and is the jurisdic-
tional predicate for the institution of the special proceeding.
Without it, juriSdiction is not acquired, and a proceeding is not
commenced. As the service of a Summons and not the service of a
,
Complaint commences an action, so to; the service of a Notice of
Petition, (or an Order to Show Cause) and not the service of the
Petition commences a special proceeding. Since this was not done
in this matter, it is jurisdictionally defe~tive and Petition
should be dismissed.
has not shown she is an "aggrieved party" at this stage of her
4. Petition should also be dismissed because the Petitioner
applications to the Board of Appeals and Site Plan application to
-2-
Respondent Planning Board to use her property as a marina for the
docking and mooring of boats and yacht brokerage business.
CPLR S780l states: "...a proceeding under this article shall not
be used to challenge a determination: 1. which is not final or
can be adequately reviewed by appeal to a court or to some other
body or office~ of where the body or officer making the deter-
mination is expressly authorized by statute to rehear the matter
upon the petitioner's application..."
Article XIII of the
Southold Town zoning Code (Exhibit 1) governs the requirements
and procedures concerning site plan approval by the Respondent
Planning Board. As can be seen from reviewing Article XIII, and
particularly SlOO-133, it becomes clear this Article 78 pro-
ceeding is premature, and Petitioner is not an "aggrieved party".
Since the Petition of Kathrine Farr verified on August 20, 1983,
does not adequately inform the court as to the entire picture of
what has transpired to date, your deponent after reviewing the
records of the Planning Board is setting forth below an account
of what happened in a chronological outline:
(all references to Exhibits are contained in the Certified
Transcript of Record of Proceedings - Kathrine Farr Site Plan
Application which is annexed hereto)
(a) On April 14, 1983, Petitione~ made appli-
cation for a building permit to construct
an office and storage building on her
premises at Manhanset Avenue, Greenport,
New York. Exhibit 5. Said building
permit was denied by Edward Hindermann,
Building Inspector of the Town of
Southold who issued a Notice of
Disapproval dated April 14, 1983, on the
grounds that before a building permit
could be issued a Special Exception had to
-3-
~ 1__ . ..1.. ----.,
.
.
be obtained from the Zoning Board of
Appeals and Site Plan Approval from the
Planning Board as well as a notation the
proposed building does not meet front and
rear yard requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance. Exhibit 6.
(b) On April 14, 1983, the Petitioner filed
with the Southold Town Board of Appeals an
Application for Special Exception _
Application No. 3117. Exhibit 7. Peti-
tioner filed with the Southold Town Board
of Appeals on April 14, 1983, an Appeal
from Decision of BUilding Inspector _
Application No. 3318. Exhibit 8.
(c) On April 20, 1983, the Southold Town Board
of Appeals passed a resolution holding
Application Nos. 3117 and 3118 (Kathrine
Parr) in abeyance pending receipt of: six
(6) copies of a site plan accurately drawn
to scale certified by a Licensed Engineer
including all proposed parking; written
comments, recommedations or approval by
the Southold Town Planning Board con-
cerning this site plan. Petitioner was so
notified by letter of April 20, 1983.
Exhibit 9.
(d) On May 24, 1983, Petitioner delivered a
proposed site plan to the Planning Board
office, and on June 1, 1983, the Planning
Board Secretary informed Petitioner to
resubmit the plans delineating parking,
proposed ingress and egress, and drainage
plan, if needed. On June 7, 1983, the
Southold Town Planning Board received a
site plan which had been revised by Young
& Young on May 23, 1983. Exhibit 10.
(e) At a meeting of the Southold~Town Board of
Appeals on June 14, 1983, the Board of
Appeals requested additional information
to be included in the site plan. The
Board of Appeals wrote Petitioner a letter
on June 21, 1983, informing the Petitioner
of the additional information require-
ments. Exhibit 14.
(f) On June 24, 1983, Petitioner Kathrine Parr
wrote the Southold Town Board of Appeals a
letter supplying certain information.
Exhibit 15.

(g) On June 30, 1983, The Southold Town Board
of Appeals held a special meeting con-
cerning Petitioner's application and
deemed same incomplete because: (1) Peti-
tioner was requesting several uses for the
property; (2) Petitioner's refusal to
supply certain information; (3) outside
storage; and (4) Health Department Approval
had not been received. Petitioner was
notified of these reasons by letter of
July 5, 1983. Exhibit 16.
(h) On July 11, 1983, a presubmission con-
ference was held with the Petitioner, her
attorney, and the Southold Town Planning
Board. Exhibit 11.
(i) On July 21, 1983, Stanley Corwin, the
attorney for the Petitioner wrote the
Southold Town Board of Appeals an expla-
nation. Exhibit 17.
(j) On July 22, 1983, three Planning Board
members made a physical inspection of the
property. On July 24, 1983, one Planning
Board member made a physical inspection of
the property. Exhibit 2.
(k) On July 25, 1983, at a Southold Town
Planning Board meeting the field inspec-
tions were discussed, and the Board after
reviewing the file, disapproved the site
plan and so notified the Petitioner by
letter dated July 26, 1983. Exhibits 4
and 12.
(1) On August 18, 1983, the Southold Town
Board of Appeals wrote the Petitioner's
attorney requesting information as to
whether he intended to submit amended
plans to the Planning Board ~or recon-
sideration or whether he intended to
submit to the Board of Appeals and copies
of the approved plans to the Health
Department. Exhibit 13.
(m) On August 23, 1983, Petitioner commenced
this action by serving papers on the
Secretary of the Southold Town Planning
Board.

.
As can be seen from the above chronological outline: the
matter is presently pending before the Southold Town Board of
Appeals; a presubmission conference has been held with the
Planning Board resulting in the Planning Board inspecting the
'property, passing a resolution informing the Petitioner's attor-
ney the Planning Board disapproved the site plan because of
multiple uses of the property without Board of Appeals approval;
since the proposed site plan contains a yacht rental station and
office building for marine brokerage uses on a parcel of land
with insufficient area being less than l/lOth of the required
area under the Zoning Code. Exhibit 4. The effect of the
Planning Board's denial at this presubmission stage of the site
plan proceedings under the Zoning Code is advisory only and not
final.
5. From reading the Southold Town Zoning Code, the
Petitioner has Several available options: (a) call for another
meeting with the Planning Board to get a clarification and re-
submit a plan in conformity with the Zoning Code; (b) ask the
Board of Appeals for a variance to construct the building and/or
a special exception to obtain one or more of the enumerated uses
as provided for in Article 8, Section lOO-a~B(9) and/or (14); (c)
request a joint meeting with the Board of Appeals and the
Planning Board to reconcile any differences; or (d) proceed with
the existing site plan "as is" and have the Building Inspector
certify the plan pursuant to ~lOO-133(B) (C)(D) of the Zoning
-6-
Code, and resubmit same to the Planning Board for its approval
or disapproval. If the Petitioner chooses this latter course of
action then the Planning Board will be required prior to taking
final action refer the matter to the Suffolk County Planning
Commission under the provisions of the Suffolk County Charter and
SIOO-132(Cl of the zoning Code and within a time frame either
approve or disapprove same. If it is disapproved, the Planning
Board is required to give written findings upon any site plan
development element found contrary to the provisions or intent of
the zoning code pursuant to SIOO-133(El of the Zoning Code. In
other words, the Planning Board cannot finally approve or dis-
approve a site plan until the plan is: (al certified by the
Building Inspector as to whether or not the site plan meets the
requirements of all zoning code provisions other than those
requiring site plan development approval pursuant to SIOO-133(Cl
of the zoning Code; and (bl referred to the Suffolk County
'Planning Commission. The Building Inspector cannot certify the
site plan until the Board of Appeals renders a decision on the
yard variance and special exception request. This presubmission
determination by the Respondent Planning Board is not a final
determination within the meaning of an Article 78 proceeding, and
as such is not reviewable by the Court. Put another way;
petitioner has not followed the procedure under the Zoning
Code for the Respondent Planning Board to make a final deter-
mination. The whole purpose of the presubmission conference is
-7-
.
.
to discuss proposed uses to determine which site plan elements
are applicable and are to be submitted to the Planning Board for
final approval or disapproval. Only after the Planning Board rul,
on the site plan as provided in ~lOO-133(E) may the Petitioner
bring an Article 78 proceeding if she is so advised. To hold
otherwise would allow applicants to bring to Court matters which
have not been formally passed upon by the administrative agency
and would invite a floodgate of litigation. Additionally, the
Court cannot tell the Planning Board what to do or not to do, it
can only pass judgment upon whether the Planning Board acted in
an illegal or arbitrary fashion.
6. If the Court were to find the Planning Board's presub-
mission review was a final determination and therefore review-
able, then the Petition should also be dismissed as the
Petitioner has an adequate administrative remedy before the
Southold Town Board of Appeals, which, in fact, to date has not
rendered any decision in this matter on Petitioner's appeal for
a yard variance for the office building and for the special
exception for the one or more requested uses of the property.
For example, if the Board of Appeals allows the special exception
for a marina and docking and mooring boats pursuant to
~lOO-80B(9) (Exhibit 1), then the site plan elements would
obviously look one way. If the Board of Appeals allows a special
exception for the retail sale of boats pursuant to ~lOO-80B(14)
(Exhibit 1), then the proposed development of the property and
-8-
the site plan elements would be different (SlOO-l34(D). The same
would be true if it allows both uses. Simply put, the applica-
tion at this stage is premature as the site plan itself is in the
presubmission stage for the location of the building, parking
requirements, and use or uses of the property. Since the special
exception uses have not yet been determined by the Board of
.Appeals; it is impossible at present for the Respondent Planning
Board to know what to finally approve. All Respondent has done
at this stage is to disapprove the site plan for multiple uses of
the property in the presubmission stage.
7. The Petition should also be dismissed by the Court for
the reason assuming that everything contained in it is true,
the Petition simply does not state a cause of action. All that
is contained in the Petition are naked allegations the Planning
Board's disapproval of the Petitioner's site plan was in viola-
"tion of lawful procedure and was arbitrary, capricious, and an
I
abuse of discretion. No supporting information is given. A
petition in a special proceeding must comply with the rules for a
complaint in an action. Therefore. statements contained in a
Petition must be sufficiently particular to give the Court notice
"
of each material element of the cause of action of how the
Respondent acted. In other words, more precise allegations
should be stated as to how the Respondent acted illegally or that
its determination was arbitrary, capricious or an abuse of dis-
cretion in rejecting the site plan submitted at the presubmission

conference. All we have in this Petition as it presently stands
are conclusory allegations, and the Petition should be dismissed
in the exercise of the Court's discretion.

TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
The petition of Kathrine Farr respectfully shows to the Court:
1. Petitioner is a res [dent of the Town of Southold, Suffolk County,
New York, and the owner of a parcel of vacant property on the east side of
Manhanset Ave nue at Greenport in said town.
2. The use of said land under the zoning law of the town is the subject
of this proceeding.
- 3. Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a survey of petitioner's property.
[The exhibit is a xerox reduced copy: therefore the scale 1s not accurate, al-
though the proportions are. ]
4. The respondent Southold Town Planning Board is an appointed
administrative body within the government of the town of Southold; the mem-
bers are Henry E. Raynor, Jr., chairman, and James Wall, Bennett Orlowski,
1.
EXHIBIT 6
Jr., George Ritchie Latham, Jr., and William F. Mullen, Jr.
5. Chapter 100 of the Code of the Town of Southold is the zoning
law of the town, of which the Court is asked to take judicial notice. [ A
copy will be handed up to the Court on the return of the motion. ]
6. The premises of petitioner are in the C Light Industrial
Distr ict.
7. The only uses permitted in the C Light Industrial District
without the approval of two appointive administrative boards of the town are,
to quote the statute, "Any permitted uses set forth in, and as regulated by,
the following provisions of this chapter:
(a) Subsection A(2) and (3) of 5 100-30."
8. Such permitted uses are (1) specified "commercial agricul tural
operations and accessory uses thereto" (with certain provisions and ex-
ceptions) including, subject to a number of special requirements (a) "the
raising of field and garden crops, vineyard and orchard farming, the maintenance
of nurseries and the seasonal sale of products thereof in buildings x x x", (b)
"the keeping, breeding, raising and training of horses, domestic animals
and fowl (except ducksO on lots of ten (10) acres or more", (c) [b]arns, stor-
age buildings, greenhouses (including plastic covered) and other related
structures x x x" and (2) " [b]uildings, structures and uses owned and oper-
ated by the Town of Southold." It is apparent that petitioners property is
not suited to any of the normally permitted uses in a C district.
2.
.1 ..1 'l~
.

9. However, the statute provides that 16 enumerated uses
map be permitted in such a district. viz.:
B. Uses permitted by special exception by the Board of
Appeals, as hereinafter provided, subject to site plan
approval by the Planning Board in accordance with Article
XI II hereof.
(I) Industrial uses, including manufacturing, assembling,
converting, altering, finishing, cleaning or other
processing. handling or storage of products or
materials, involving the use of only oil, gas or elec.
tricity for fuel.

buildings.
(3) Wholesale storage and warehousing.
(4) Building contractors~ yards.
(5) Public utility structures and uses.

loading docks, etc.).
(8) Food processing and packaging plants.
(9) Marinas for the docking and mooring of all types of
boats.'.
(IO) Launching facilities.
(I1) Ferry terminals.
(I2) Yacht clubs; charter fishing docks.

approval by the Planning Board in accordance with Article XIII .:x x x"
with the caveat that no'''building or premises shall be used and no building

B. Within six 16) months following the presubmission con-
ference, the site development plan and any related in-
formation shall be submitted to the Building Inspector, in

Board meeting at which approval is requested. If not
submitted within this six (6) months' period, another
presubmission conference may be required.
C. The Building Inspector shall certify on each site

12. Pursuant to the statute petitioner applied on April 14, 1983
for a Bui lding Inspector's approval of a proposed use and building; the
application was denied. Thereupon petitioner applied to the Zoning Board
of Appeals for a special exception, and for a variance on other grounds.
Due notice of the application was given to the adjoining property owners.
13. On April 29, 1983 the chairman of the Z.oning Board ::>f Appeals
wrote a letter to petitioner: a copy is attached as Exhibit B.
14. Thereupon petitioner filed a proposed site plan with respondent
and after revisions were made following an informal con ference with the
chairman of that board a pre-submission conference was held.
15. Subsequently, on July 25, 1983 the respondent adopted a
resolut ion which was communicated to petitioner's attorney by a letter
dated July 26, 1983, a copy of which is annexed as Exhibit C.
16. The use petitioner sought was yacht rentar-and marine
brokerage. As Exhibit A shows petitioner enjoys over 186 feet of water-
front, some 153 feet of which is substantially bulkheaded
17. Such use involves mooring sailing yachts to the bulkhead from
time to time and the erection on the property of a small office and storage
9.
building necessarily elevated to comply with federal flood plain area
regulations.
18. Such use is not in any sense a generator of traffic or any other
conditions significantly affecting the health, safety, welfare and morals
of the people of Southold Town. It would be economically unfeasible to
use the property for a permitted use without a special exception, but if
such a use were engaged in it would doubtless have a far greater adverse
effect than the requested use.
19. Under the circumstances the statute is unconstitutional
as to petitioners property.
20. The determination of the respondent to disapprove the site
plan drawn to its preliminary specifications was made in violation of
lawful procedure, affected by error of law and was arbitrary, capricious
and an abuse of discretion.
WHEREFORE petitioner demands judgment direct ing respondent to
approve petitioner's site plan, determining the unsonctitutionality of the
statute as applied to petitioner's property and for such other, further or
different relief as to the Court may seem just and proper..

Respondent.

TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
The petition of Kathrine Farr respectfully shows to the Court:
1. Petitioner is a resident of the Town of Southold, Suffolk County,
New York, and the owner of a parcel of vacant property on the east side of
Manhanset Avenue at Greenport in said town.
2. The use of said land under the zoning law of the town is the subject
of this proceeding.
'3. Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a survey of petitioner's property.
[The exhibit is a xerox reduced copy: therefore the scale is not accurate, al-
though the proportions are. ]
4. The respondent Southold Town Planning Board is an appointed
administrative body within the government of the town of Southold; the mem-
bers are Henry E. Raynor, Jr., chairman, and James Wall, Bennett Orlowski,
1.
.
.
Jr.. George Ritchie Latham, Jr., and William F. Mullen, Jr.
5. Chapter 100 of the Code of the Town of Southold is the zoning
law of the town, of which the Court is asked to take judicial notice. [A
copy will be handed up to the Court on the return of the motion. ]
6. The premises of petitioner are in the C Light Industrial
District.
7. The only uses permitted in the C Light Industrial District
without the approval of two appointive administrative boards of the town are,
to quote the statute, "Any permitted uses set forth in, and as regulated by,
the following provisions of this chapter:
(a) Subsection A(2) and (3) of ~ 100-30. "
8. Such permitted uses are (1) specified "commercial agricul tural
operations and accessory uses thereto" (with certain provisions and ex-
ceptions) including, subject to a number of special requirements (a) "the
raising of field and garden crops, vineyard and orchard farming, the maintenance
of nurseries and the seasonal sale of products thereof in buildings x x x", (b)
"the "keeping, breeding, raising and training of horses, domestic animals
and fowl (except ducksO on lots of ten (10) acres or more", (c) [b]arns, stor-
age buildings, greenhouses (including plastic covered) and other related
structures x x x" and (2) " [b]uildings, structures and uses owned and oper-
ated by the Town of Southold." It is apparent that petitioners property is
not suited to any of the normally permitted uses in a C district.
2.
.
.
9. However. the statute provides that 16 enumerated uses
map be permitted in such a district. viz.:
B. Uses permitted by special exception by the Board of
Appeals, as hereinafter provided, subject to site plan
approval by the Planning Board in accordance with Article
XIII hereof.
(
11) Industrial uses, including manufacturing, assembling,
converting, altering, finishing, cleaning or other
processing, handling or storage of products or
materials, involving the use of only oil, gas or elec.
tricity for fuel.
(2) Research, design and development laboratories; office
buildings.
(3) Wholesale storage and warehousing.
(4) Building contractors' yards.
(5) Public utility structures and uses.
(6) Newspaper and printing establishments.
(7) Bus and truck terminals (garages, parking facilities,
loading docks, etc.).
(8) Food processing and packaging plants.
(9) Marinas for the docking and mooring of all types of
boats. 14
110) Launching facilities.
111) Ferry terminals.
112) Yacht clubs; charter fishing docks.
113) Eating and drinking establishments.
, 114) Retail sales of boats and marine items.
115) Boat building; boat servicing; boat storage facilities.
116) Yards for sale and storage of fuel and building
materials.
"by special exception by the Board of Appeals x x x subject to site plan
approval by the Planning Board in accordance with Article XIII .= x x"
with the caveat that nO-!'building or premises shall be used and no building

District unless the same conforms with the Bulk and Parking Schedule

A. Presubl!iis~ion conference. Prior to the submission of a site

with the Planning Board. The purpose of such conference
shall be to discuss proposed uses or development in order
to determine which of the site development plan elements
shall be submitted to the Planning Board in order for said
Board to determine conformity with the provisions and
intent of this chapter.
B. Within six (6) months following the presubmission con-
ference, the site development plan and any related in-
formation shall be submitted to the Building Inspector, in
triplicate, at least fifteen (I5) days prior to the Planning
Board meeting at which approval is requested. If not
submitted within this six (6) months' period, another
presubmission conference may be required.
C. The Building Inspector shall certify on each site
development plan or amendment whether or not the plan
meets the requirements of all Zoning Ordinance provisions
other than those of this Article regarding site develop-
ment plan approval.
D. The Building Inspector shall retain one (I) copy and

plan to the Secretary of the Planning Board at least seven
(7) days prior to the Planning Board meeting at which
approval is requested.
E. The Planning Board shall act to approve or disapprove any

12. Pursuant to the statute petitioner applied on April 14. 1983
for a Building Inspector's approval of a proposed use and building; the
application was denied. Thereupon petitioner applied to the Zoning Board
of Appeals for a special exception. and for a variance on other grounds.
Due notice of the applicat ion was given to the adjoining property owners.
13. On April 29. 1983 the chairman of the Z.oning Board C)f Appeals
wrote a letter to petitioner: a copy is attached as Exhibit B.
14. Thereupon petitioner filed a proposed site plan with respondent
and after revisions were made following an informal con ference with the
chairman of that board a pre-submission conference was held.
15. Subsequently. on July 25. 1983 the respondent adopted a
resolut ion which was communicated to petitioner's attorney by a letter
dated July 26. 1983. a copy of which is annexed as Exhibit C.
16. The use petitioner sought was yacht rental and marine
brokerage. As Exhibit A shows petitioner enjoys over 186 feet of water-
front. some 153 feet of which is substantially bulkheaded
17. Such use involves mooring sailing yachts to the bulkhead from
time to time and the erection on the property of a small office and storage
9.
.
.
building necessarily elevated to comply with federal flood plain area
regulations.
18. Such use is not in any sense a generator of traffic or any other
conditions significantly affecting the health, safety, welfare and morals
of the people of Southold Town. It would be economically unfeasible to
use the property for a permitted use without a special exception, but if
such a use were engaged in it would doubtless have a far greater adverse
effect than the requested use.
19. Under the circumstances the statute is unconstitutional
as to petitioners property.
20. The determination of the respondent to disapprove the site
plan drawn to its preliminary specifications was made in violation of
lawful procedure, affected by error of law and was arbitrary, capricious
and an abuse of discretion.
WHEREFORE petitioner demands judgment direct ing respondent to
approve petitioner's site plan, determining the unsonctitutionality of the
statute as applied to petitioner's property and for such other, further or
different relief as to the Court may seem just and proper. .

After an on site field inspection and discussion of
same at our meeting, July 25, 1983, the fOllowing action
was taken.
RESOLVED that the Southold Town Planning Board disapprove

requires site plan approval by the Town Planning Board prior to the issuance
of a building permit by the building inspector (Code of the Town of Southold
5100-141 subd.C) or the granting of a special exception by the zoning board
appejils (Code of the Town of Southold 5100-80). In addition, a building per
may not issue until the board of appeals has granted the special exception.
Code of Town of Southold 5100-141 subd.D. The procedures for site plan appro
are set forth under 5100-133 of the Code. A pre-submission conference is to
be held. Within 6 months after the conference, the site development plan is
to DE ~llbmi tted lo the bui Iding inspect~or. The bUl] ding inspector is to cer
tify whothor ur nut the plan meets the requrrements of the zoning ordinance.
Seven days prior to the planning board meeting for approval of the plan, the
building inspector is to transmit his certified site development plan to the
planning board. The planning board must act to approve or disapprove within
90 days of its meeting and must submit written findings.
The parties agree that a pre-submission conference was held on July II,
1983. However, without having received the certification from the building
inspector as to whether the plan conformed to the zoning code, the planning
board, at a regular meeting, disapproved the site plan and informed the peti
tioner of the disapproval by letter dated July 26, 1983 which stated that the
site was disapproved because of insufficient area. The notes of the board me
ing for July 22, 1983 set forth in greater detail the reasons for disapproval
The respondents maintain that this was an advisory opinion. However, al
though the planning board decision was issued without complying with all the
steps set forth in the zoning code, the Court finds that it purports to be a
final decision. Any decision of the planning board is appealable by Article
under Town Law 5274-a subd.3. Accordingly, this Court has jurisdiction.
Finally, respondent argues that the petition fails to set forth sufficie
allegations to state a cause of action. The Court disagrees. The petition
apprises the respondent that the application of the statutory criteria for
approval of the site plan has been arbitrar,ly applied in regard to the naLur
of petitioner's property and its potential use.

June 13, 1983 - Mrs. Farr visited Planning Board Office. Secretary
advised her that she is possibly scheduled for a presubmission con-
ference July 11, 1983.
June 27, 1983 - Mrs. Farr called Planning Board Office. Secretary
advised she had been scheduled for presubmission conference with
the Planning Board, July 11, 1983.
EXHIBIT 02.
Prior to presubmission conference July 11, 1983, the Secretary for
the Zoning Board of Appeals advised the Secretary for the Planning
Board that the proposed use for the property was for chartering and
brokerage sales. This information should be reported to the Planning
Board.
July 11, 1983 - Mr. Stanley Corwin, Esq., Mr. and Mrs. Farr met with
the Planning Board at a regular meeting for a presubmission conference.
July 22, 1983 - An afternoon physical inspection was made on the prop-
erty by Henry E. Raynor, William F. Mullen, Jr. and Bennett Orlowski,
Jr. The Board arrived at the site in two separate cars, each one
having to park on Manhansett Avenue so as to not block the five cars
parked on the site. Bart Ruroede, employee of East End Supply Co.
arrived on site and parked behind the Board members vehicles, and
proceeded to talk to Mr. Farr who was servicing a boat. The Board
members discussed bulkheading, the location of the proposed building
in relation to the cars parking on the property at that time and
stated the flood maps should be reviewed due to the elevation being so
far below the flood plain. Two or three sailboats were noted at the
dock.
July 24, 1983 - George Ritchie Latham, Jr. physically inspected the
property during the early evening. Mr. Latham noted eight cars parked
on the property.
July 25, 1983 - Regular meeting of the Planning Board, discussion on
field inspection and action taken by the Board.
July 26, 1983 - Copy of Planning Board resolution mailed to Mr. Stanley
Corwin, Esq.
July 27, 1983 - Mr. Stanley Corwin, Esq. telephoned Planning Board
Office to inquire if a copy of the Planning Board resolution had been
filed with the Town Clerk. Secretary advised that we do not file
resolutions with the Town Clerk, other than original approved copy of
Planning Board minutes.
August 18, 1983 - Mr. Stanley Corwin, Esq. visited Planning Board
Office and asked Secretary if he could review the Farr file to see
if something should be added (to his letter? ??) Mr. Corwin asked
how he could contact Mr. Raynor. Secretary answered, through me. He
said no, you are not here on weekends and I am going to serve Henry.
Mr. Corwin asked for Mr. Raynor's full name, wrote it down and left.
Checked status with ZBA secretary; incomplete, no cross communication.
August 19, 1983 - Mr. Stanley Corwin, Esq. telephoned Planning Board
Office. He stated to the Secretary that he had spent $5 for a copy
of the Zoning Ordinance, and he had a letter signed by the Secretary
for Henry E. Raynor, Jr., for inadequate size. He questioned if
this is the end of the matter with the Planning Board. Secretary
stated she didn't know the answer to that question. Mr. Corwin stated
that it would appear that all administrative procedures have not been
exhausted. Secretary advised Mr. Corwin to pursue with the Zoning
Board of Appeals. Mr. Corwin stated the Board of Appeals could not
proceed without site plan approval by the Planning Board. Secretary
stated she did not know anything regarding the procedures of the
Board of Appeals, only that their decisions regarding substandard
lots can override Planning Board decisions. Mr. Corwin asked if the
Secretary was Mrs. Parr, what would she do. The Secretary stated
she would probably ask the same question as to whether or not the
matter could be reconsidered by the Planning Board.
August 23, 1983 - 11:30 a.m. Mr. Farr came to the Planning Board
Office, gave his name as Mr. Farr, handed papers to Secretary and
stated Mr. Corwin advised these would be coming. Secretary
asked if he was delivering them to Mr. Raynor or any other Board
member. Mr. Farr stated that under law he could serve Secretary
and she could deliver a copy to them.

posed would be used for an office bUilding and storage of equipment
used to service the boats. Mr. Corwin stated they do not propose the
use of more than four sailboats and one motor boat for the area and
stated that customers do not generally leave their cars there during
rentals because of inadequate protection. Mr. and Mrs. Parr will
operate this business. It was noted that five parking spaces are
proposed for this area. The Board will inspect this area prior to
the next meeting of the Board.

undersized.
(
On motion made by Mr. Mullen, seconded by Mr. Orlowski, it was

FARR PARKING - Plan "A"
This parking layout has 2 objectives:
1. Customer Parking. Each of 5 spaces has at least 350 S~. ft. with a min~mum ~idth
length of 10' x 20'. 15% of our customers come by traln or bus. 50% llve wlth-
in one hour of Greenport. Of this group, about one third have family members
drop them off and return home with the car rather than leave the family short
for"a week while the second car sits unused at the parking area. The balance
of customers park their cars for the week. Those cars usually don't move in
or out of the space except once at the start and once at the end of the charter
which averages 5 to 7 days. In short, our parking needs are quite different
from the downtown retail-type, in & out parking requirements.
2. Park-like setting. Narrow planting along the bulkhead has been placed to
shield homeowners across the water from the view of parked cars. Planting along
the road helps to. shield view of cars from those driving South on Manhanset Ave
and a 6' fence shields the lot from those driving North. As a practical matter
we tested the bulkhead parking area using 6 cars (1 Cadillac, 1 Mercedes, 2
ford Monnarchs, 2 VW Rabbits - a fairly typical mix of sizes).
All of them fit in the space officially designated for only 4 cars with ingress
and egress available to each. We believe that this parking will prove more than
adequate for our limited needs. Finally, we have 2 enclosed, off-site spaces
reserved for those who would like very secure parking for their cars.

PRESUBMISSION CONFERENCE - Kathrine Farr Site Plan, proposing
Marina and BrOkerage Sales. July 11, 1983.

Chairman Henry E. Raynor, Jr.
Member G. Ritchie Latham, Jr.
Member William F. Mullen, Jr.
Member Bennett Orlowski, Jr. .
Building Administrator Victor Lessard
Attorney for applicant Stanley Corwin
Applicant Kathrine Farr
Husband of the applicant Mr. Farr
Mr. Corwin: The use that's proposed to be made of the property
which consists of a triangular piece at the head of Sterling
Creek in the Village of Greenport, not the incorporated Village
but the Greegport area, is as a yacht rental station and office
bUilding forXmarine brokerage. We have submitted a plan in-
dicating a proposed building which would be in the nature of an
office building for the storage of the small amounts of equip-
ment that are used to service the boats as we turn them around
from rentals which go through day or week or varying periods.
The operation does not require any considerable storage of
automobiles and we do not expect that there will be any traffic
at all to speak of or present any kind of a problem, traffic
wise nor police wise. So far as the site develOpment plan
elements are concerned, we are prepared to submit about every-
ting that's called for in the statute, except that there are of
course no easements, setbacks, reservations such as you have in
a case of subdivision or something of that nature. There are
nothing in . . . g~hQ~~d restrictions that are applicable to
this. I think tRat^~ffe Board might target to me questions that
it has if there are any as the quickest way to come to a decision
rather than to have me say a lot of things that really are'nt
necessary to you.

Mr. Raynor: Councel, I think it's incumbant on the Board to
go out and physically inspect the area for one, before we would
get certification under the ordinance. Could you give us any
idea on the client projections of the possible number of park-
ing spaces that would be required for something like this as
an estimate?
Mr. Corwin: We think four would be more than adequate.
Mr. Raynor: So in essence you're saying probably you would'nt
use more that about three or four vessels on a turnaround,
assuming they use one car for each boat, something of that
nature.
Mr. Corwin: On the occasion of a rare daily rental perhaps a
car or two might stay there for one or two boats. But for
longer rentals it is - it has'nt been the custom in the past
when the operation was, in other places, for people to leave
their cars on the site where there was not adequate protection.
We don't feel that there is adequate overnight protection. It's
too much exposure to what goes on up and down the street there,
especially in the summer time. We wish we'd recommend to a
client or a customer that they leave the car there; we make
arrangements "to put" it somewhere e"lse during the day and with the
operators and an occasional customer. This is not a traffic
generating . . .
Mr. Raynor: You're thinking it as more of a drop-off situation-
pickup?
Mr. Corwin: Yes, that's right.
Mr. Raynor: I would imagine that it

Fortunately that is"not in
questions, Mr. Mullen?
Mr. Mullen: How many employees do you anticipate having there?
Mr. Corwin: None. This is a co~poration. It's really a closely
held corporation, husband and wife Mr. and Mrs. Farr, and there
won't be any employees. They service the boats-themselves.
Mr. Mullen: Well then, I should say, how many people will be
working therer two.
Mr. Corwin: Two.
Mr. Mullen: Thank you.
Mr. Raynor: Anything else Bill?
Mr. Mullen: No that's it.

pg. (3)
7/11/83
Mr. Raynor: Ben?
Mr. Orlowski: How many boats will be docked there?
Mr. Corwin: Well, at the present time the corporation is con-
trolling four (4) boats which are used for rental. And should
they be all there at one time we think that that's about the
maximum number that can be accommodated with safety. And while,
in the future we would expect to control many more boats with a
much larger operation, not necessarially confined in this one
place. We don't expect to be using boats in that particular
location of a greater number than we presently have.
Mr. Orlowski: So there would just be four (4) boats there?
Mr. Corwin: There are four sailboats and there is one motor-
boat which is owned by Mr. and Mrs. Farr, servicing going out
in to rescue operations, something.
Mr. Raynor: Mr. Latham?
Mr. Latham: Is there a possible overflow of parking on
Manhassett Avenue? If there was'nt any parking they would park
out there, would'nt they?
Mr. Corwin: On a very limited basis. There is no prohibition
against parking there as far as signs are concerned, or any town
ordinance of which I am aware. But cars just do not park there.
The actual used road is hardly more than two lanes.
Mr. Latham: Yes.
Mr. Corwin: And if we required overf low parking it would not be
anywhere in the vicinity of the site.
Mr. Raynor:

It looks like you'll probably have about five or
more, maybe seven or eight spaces, on site to ac-
Mr. Corwin: Five? Is that the way it says there? (directing
question to Mrs. Farr)
Mrs. Farr: Inaudible.
Mr. Raynor: I'm just using the ordinance criteria.

idea of what's proposed down there.

Thank you very much for your letter concerning our appeals
Nos .3117 and 3118 for IlJarina and brokerage sales, "c"

decline to give an upper limit to size or number of vessels
which may be owned by the Company; however, as to mooring
or docking of vessels, no more than can be handled and
m~naged so as to protect pUblic safety will be on the
premises at any given time.
As to the length of time the "chartered" boats are docked,
there is no set minimum or maximum limit.
Finally, we do not anticipate much outside storage of
materials, boats and equipment although some may occur
incidentally to the normal conduct of such a business.
Thank you for your consideration of our application. If you
have further questions, please let us know..
Cordially yours,

July 21, 1983
Mr. Gerard P. Goehringer, Chairman
Southold Town Board of Appeals
Main Road
Southold, New York 11971
Dear Mr. Goehringer
Mrs. Farr has asked me to reply in her behalf to your letter of July 5th.
You mentioned four incomplete items as the reason for holding the appli-
cation in abeyance.
1. Multiple use of the site.
Preliminarily I request that the bca rd take into consideration the position
of the applicant. She is asking for uses permitted in a particular zoning category
enumerated in the statute. Doubtless she should expect to be limited to what-
ever uses are granted and they, in t urn, will necessarily be governed by her
request.
Mrs. Farr now conducts a yacht brokerage business. At most, it involves a
telephone, a notebook, a list of prospects, a list of boats for sale and their lo-
cation, some photographs and business records. It is the kind of "business"
one could conduct out of an office, a home, a car.
Fairwind Yachts, Inc., the corporate entity through which Mrs. Farr and her
husband own, charter and rent boats, seeks to use the site for that operation.
In specific language, the statute does not Cover either operation. The yacht
brokerage business could be covered under the "office buildings" or "retail
sale of boats" categories; rentals could use as a Cover "marinas", "boat
servicing" and perhaps other permitted categories.
Considering other uses which can be permitted in the zone in question, it is
hard to think of two cleaneruses, those that would be least likely to interfere
with the health, safety, welfare and morals of the people of the town.
With respect to separate site plans: let us suppose that upon the completion of
a rental acustomer observes to Mrs. Farr: "I'd like to have a boat like that. "

Mrs. Farr happens to know of just such a boat for sale, mentions it and
goes about the "business" of selling. That, of course, could happen anywhere
on the site. In the light of such a ci rcumstance any requirement for separate
site plans for separate uses is really meaningless. 1'm sure you would agree
it would be rather absurd for Mrs. Farr to have to say to the customer, "please
step over here to talk about sales. " She might just as well step into the public
highway.
Accordingly, your re-consideration of a requirement for separate use site
plans is requested.
2. The number of yachts.
When your asking of this question was presented to me my immediate reaction
was the number of yachts Fairwind owned was of absolutely no concern to the
board. Among other reasons are these: (a) the number owned has absolutely
nothing to do with use of the site, (b) once the site is: zoned there is no legal
req uirement that Fai rwind be the occupier: another entity might have an entirely
different set-up, (c) the applicant's response will become a public record and
might well be of more use to a competitor than the board.
Fairwind expects to own or charter scores of boats, working out of many ports
in many states and foreign countries: to answer your question specifically,
Fairwind expects to own or control for charter over the next five years between
20 and 250 boats. Fairwind is simply unable to make any representation as to
the length of time it expects to continue an operation at the site in question.
The boats range in size from dinghy to upwards of 60 feet. So far as use of the
site in question is concerned, the boats will generally range from 26 to 33 feet.
In early or late season, or during a bad-weather mid-week, as many as 5 boats
might be moored. Ideally, of course, only one would be in for a turn-around at
a time, but ideal conditions seldom exist. How long a given vessel might lay
over cannot definitely be stated. Ideally, again, it would Qe overnight, but
pragmatically it will depend on weather conditions, business arranged off the
site and in other ports. We can only suggest that at no time will there be moored
at the site a greater number than can safely be secured. The applicant is very
much aware of the limited surface riparian rights available.
3. Outside storage
Any indication of outside use is specifically withdrawn. There will be no
.
July 21, 1983
outside storage as a contemplated use. Permission for such use is not sought.
4. Health Department approval.
Because of the size of the lot and proximity to tidal water a disapproval of a
private sewer disposal system was necessarilt encountered at the lower permit-
granting level, where rules prevent the exercise of discretion. The appeal
from that level to the appellate review board has not been scheduled, although
it is anticipated it will be held on August 5th or 12th.
The division head, Herbert W. Davids, P. E., informed me that Riverhead
was scheduling hearings subject to Mr. Aldo Andreoli, the chairman of the
appellate panel, who is stationed in Hauppauge. Mr. Andreoli is presently
on vacation. His secretary referred inquiries to Carol Hunsigner, who is
Robert Jewell's secretary in Riverhead. Carol referred inquiries to Andreoli.
Mr. Jewell is "in the field".
These things make "in due course" a rather long time.
We are dealing, a you know, with multiple boards and agencies on what is
relatively a rather simple application. It is not economically feasible for
one to get one complete approval and then move to another agency: the mere
passage of time is costly.
We would appeal to you, therefore, to do as much as you can with the application
at this stage. As others act on related applications we will of course advise
you promptly.
If, for example, lack of Health Department approval is all that is necessary,
we would request that you grant permission conditioned on such approval.
Very truly yours,
-- ---.
