The survey of May 4, 1977, by Van Tuyl
indic lot to be created is 1350' north of
the Ma ~t there is a right-of-way and a future right-
of-way ~applicant~s, Mr. Cross's westerly boundary
50' fr ) this lot. There is also a
right,of-way over a travele~ roadway which .-of-
way s half that distance. Is there anyone present who
wis~ ~peak for this application?
RENSSELAER TERRY, ESQ.: Mrs. Cross, the wife of the seller,
is here and Mr. and Mrs..Tuthill, the proposed purchasers, and they

be'~glad to answer any questions you may hawe.
Southold Town Board of Appeals
June 2~3~ 1977
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there any plan to develop other lots on the
Cross property at the present time?
MRS. CROSS: Ralph works with my husband at the nursery, and
all of the lands to the west have been divided into prgperty and
Ralph and his wife are interested in moving onto a pl~ce~of our
land. It's ideal for us because their home situated so close to
the nursery is a nice factor.
THE CHAIRMAN: I noticed that there's a future right-of-way
here of 50' that's been created, did you create that?
RALPH TUTHILL: The right-of-way up to Mr. Cross's property
was already there and then he would give us the right-of-way that
goes along his western boundary there, tt would abutt our property.
THE CHAIRMAN: The new, temporary right-of-way will have to ...
has that had the topsoil removed?
RALPH TUTHILL: Yes, that's been a road for quite a while.
THE CHAtRM~: So that's what you plan to use?
RALPH TUTHILL: For the time being, right.
THE CHAIRMAN: What would be the circumstances that would
cause you to delinquish the use of the temporary right-of-way and
use the future right-of-way? What I'm getting at is that the
future right-of-way will have to be improved ~f it's going to
become a right-of-way.
MRS. CROSS: I would think my husband would give Ralph first
option on that land if something ever happened, I can't imagine at
this time that it would ever be sold, is that what you mean?
THE CHAIRMAN: It isn't necessary to create a 50' right~6f-way
to one lot, that's the point I'm ~etting at. It appears here on the
map and that's why I'm questioning it.
RALPH TUTHILL: It's for our protection, if the nursery was
ever sold., that Would be so we would have it right along the
boundary rather than g~ing through someone else's land.
THE CHAIRMAN: Otherwise, you'll be using this 25' right-of-way,
indefinitely.
RALPH TUTHILL: As far as I know, yes.
THE CHAIRMAN: And that's been improved, the topsoil removed?
RALPH TUTHILL: Yes.
Southold Town Board of Appeals

THE CHAIRMAN: Any other questions? Anybody wish to speak
against this application?
(There was no response.)
After investigation and inspection, the Board finds that the
applicant requests approval of access, north side Main Road,
Cutchogue, New York. The findings of the Board are that the
applicant plans to use a temporary right-of-way for the indefinite
future. This temporary right-of-way passes over the Cross prop-
erty and has been approved.
The Board finds that strict application of the Ordinance
would produce practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship;
the hardship created is unique and would not be shared by all
properties alike in the immediate vicinity of this property and
in the same use district; and the variance will not change the
character of the neighborhood, and will observe the spirit of
the Ordinance.
On motion by Mr. Grigonis, seconded by Mr. Hulse, it was
RESOLVED, James E. Cross, Main Road, Cutchogue, New York,
be GRANTED approval of access, north side Main Road, Cutchogue,
New York, as applied for, subject to the following condition:

be removed and 6" of bank run placed on the roadbed
and scarified to a width of 15'
VOte of the Board: Ayes: - Messrs: Gillispie, Bergen, Hulse,
Grigonis.

THE CHAIRMAN: The application is accompanied by a survey
dated March 22, 1977, by Van Tuyl, which indicates that the pro-
posed division appears to be a property on which there are two
existing houses. One portion of this property was apparently
owned by A. Westerlund and the other portion, the easterly portion,
is owned by A. and M. Westerlund. It!s in an area of farmland
according to the photostat of the County tax map. Is there anyone
present who wishes to speak for this application?
RENSSELAER TERRY, ESQ.: I appear here on behalf of Mr.
Adolph Westerlund who is also here to answer any questions you
might have. We solicit your approval. I believe you have the
map showing that this property was originally occupied by his
parents, this was occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Westerlund and is in
both names. He inherited this property. He would like to transfer
the larger area to himself and his wife to retain that as their
residential lot.
THE CHAIRMAN: How old are these houses?
ADOLPH WESTERLUND: The small house was built in 1922 and I
built the other house in 1947. At the time, I never figured out
how crooked the Main Road is in accordance with the property. I
put a patio in there and that would be on the 9~hgr property if I
rented to somebody other than my son.
THE CHAIRMAN: The improvements wo~ld go to your residence,
the one that you plan to live in.
ADOLPH WESTERLUND: That's right.
THE CH~I.RMAN: Are there any other questions? Anyone else
wish to speak against this application?
(There was no response.)
After investigation and inspection, the Board finds that the
applicant requests permission to re-align lot line, south side Main
Road, Peconic, New York. The findings of the Board are that the
Board is in with the reasoning of the applicant, The
Board is ; g new lots but recognizing existing
residences on lots.
The Board finds that strict application of the Ordinance
would produce practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship;~
the hardship created is unique and would not be shared by all
properties alike in the in~aediate vicinity of this property and
in the same use district; and the variance will not change the
character of the neighborhood, and will observe the spirit of
the Ordinance.

going to be right in the middle of my patio.
THE CHAIRMAN: Anyone else wish to speak for this application?
ZAN ZOBEL: This is from my other neighbor, Bruce MacDonald.
(Mr. Zobel gave the Chairman a letter from Mr. MacDonald.)
THE CHAIRMAN: Just for the record, "As an abutter in the
above variance request, I would like to state our feelings on
this matter.
We are quite pleased with the present location of the subject tool

the view of the Long Island Sound. Any encroachment on the present
view in any manner would be most unsatisfactory.

(There was no response.)
After investigation and inspection, the Board finds that the
applicant requests permission to construct accessory building in-
side yard area, north side Soundview Avenue, Southold, New York.
The findings of the Board are that the Board is in agreement with
the~.~reasoning of the applicant and his two neighbors. Many people
who live on the water don't want to disturb their view by placing
an accessory building in what is legally the rear yard.
The Board finds that strict application of the O~dinance
wo~ld produce practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship;
the hardship created is uniq~e~and would not be shared by all
properties alike in the imm~iat~ vicinity of this property and
an the same use district; and the variance will not change the
character of the neighborhood, and will observe the spirit of
the Ordinance.
On motion by Mr. Gillispie, seconded by Mr. Bergen, it was

PUBLIC H~ARING: Appeal No. 2293 - 8:00 P.M. (E.D.S.T.)
upon application of Harry C. Hennessy, Minnehaha Boulevard,
Southold, New York for a variance in accordance with the Zoning
Ordinance, Article III, Section 100-30 and Bulk Schedule for
permission to construct addition with insufficient side-yard
setback. Location of property: east side Minnehaha Boulevard,
Southold, New York, bounded on the north by now or formerly Giulivi;
east by now ~r formerly Morrissey; west by Minnehaha Boule~card.
The Chairman opened the hearing by reading the application
for a variance, legal notice of hearing, affidavits attesting to
its publication in the official newspapers, notice to the appli-
cant, and disapproval from the Building Inspect~or. The Chairman
also read statement from the Town Clerk that notification by
certified mail had been made to: Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Sheridan;
Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Hiulivi; Mr. Blaise Morrissey. Fee paid $15.00.
THE CHAIRMAN: The applicant's sketch indicates that this lot
is approximately 106' in depth on one side and 97.4' on the other
side. The portion of the lot on Minnehaha Boulevard seems to he
68' The rear dimension is 71' The applicant's one-story framed
house is more or less centered with a southerly side yard of 9-1/2'
and what appears to be a 10'10" northerly side yard. In the rear
is a work and storage shop at the northwesterly corner of the prop-
erty where normally there might be a garage. Is there anyone present
who wishes to speak for this application?
HARRY HENNESSY: I'm the applicant. I didn't quite get
what you said at the end.
THE CHAIRMAN: The storage shop and work shop would perhaps
normally be where there would have been a garage, that's all I
said.
HARRY HENNESSY: I don't believe there would be room enough
to use that as a garage, that's why I'm applying for a variance
for this carport.
THE CHAIRMAN: It isn't going to benefit you very much from
a northeaster, you're going to leave these sides open, you'll have
to.
HARRY HENNESSY: Yes. I'm mainly concerned with, after this
past winter with the snow and all, it's quite a long driveway and
I had quite a bit of a problem. I figured I had to do something,
I had been covering my car with a canvas blanket but it really
doesn't go with the community, and I thought perhaps a carport
would be better.
THE CHAIPW5%N: It's going to be fiberglass panels?
HARRY HENNESSY: Yes.
Southold Town Board of Appeals -.8~-. June 23, 1977
THE CHAIRMAN: And the carport will extend to ...
HARRY HENNESSY: On the northwest, I believe, where it's
10'10", that will be the only part that will be on the line. At
the other part, the property runs at an angle and it will be much
wider there. I will make it S~'are with the building, I would
never follow the line.
THE CHAIRMAN: This would be for one car, right?
HARRY HENNESSY: Yes, one car.
THE CHAIRMAN: And you would not have any side walls?
HARRY HENNESSY: No side walls, no. My main interest is
just in sheltering the car. Right now the sun-~beats down and
there's no shade, no trees.
THE CHAIRMAN: Anyone else wish to speak for this application?
(There was no response.)
Anyone wish to speak against this application?
(There was no response.)

The Chairman opened the hearing by reading the application

cant; and disapproval from the Building Inspector. The Chairman
also read statement from the Town Clerk that notification by

Stepnowski; Miriam M. Comer. Fee paid - $15.00.
THE CHAIRMAN: The County tax map indicates that what the
applicant says is correct in every detail. Is~there anyone present
who wishes to speak for this application?
ABIGAIL WICKHAM, ESQ.: I'd like to make a note that the
notice of disapproval states that neither lot will have 150' width
whereas the tax map shows, and the deed also shows, that the larger
lot has 1591' frontage.
THE CHAIRMAN: On this copy of the County tax map it only
shows 59'. The "1" is missing.
ABIGAIL WICKHAM, ESQ.: It is 159'
THE CHAIRMAN: There's one lot of about 35,000 sq. ft. with,
at the bottom of the "L", the other lot consists of about 15,000
sq. ft.
ABIGAIL WICKHAM, ESQ.: With 100' frontage, although it's
similar to several of the other lots in that block.
THE CHAIRMAN: Each fronting on separate roads~
ABIGAIL WICKHAM, ESQ.: Yes.
THE CHAIRMAN: Are there any structures on this property?
ABIGAIL WICKHAM, ESQ.: No, the area's heavily wooded and
there's nothing on there right now.
THE CHAIRMAN: The lots across the street are ...
ABIGAIL WICKHAM, ESQ.: Most of .them across Strohson Road do
have houses on them. Lot 15 there on the corner is developed. I
believe LOt 11 has a house right on Little Neck Road.

TiE CHAIRMAN: It looks as though there are at least a dozen
lots w~thin a few hundred feet of t.his which are undersized by
present standards. The total area involved here is 50,000 sq. ft.
and'these two lots would average about 25,000~apiece. Is there
anyone else who wishes to speak for this application?
(There was no response.)
So that the average of these two lots would considerably
exceed Surrounding properties with the exception of immediately
to the north, a lot of 1.3 acres. Anyone wish to speak against
this application?
(There was no response.)
After investigation and inspection, the Board finds that the
applicant requests permission to divide property with insufficient
width and area, Little Neck Road and Strohson Road, Cutchogue, New
York. The findings of the Board are that the lots were bought at
separate times and will average, taken together, larger than the
aurrounding lots with one or two exceptions.
The'Board finds that strict application of the Ordinance
would produce practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship;
the hardship created is unique and would not be shared by all
properties alike in the immediate vicinity of this property.and
zn the s~e use district; and the variance will not change the
character of the neighborhood, and will observe the spirit of
the Ordinance.
On motion by Mr. Hulse, seconded by Mr. Grigonis, it~was
RE~OLVED, Esther R. Taylor, Strohson Road¥ C~chogue, New
York, be GRANTED permission to divide property with insufficient
width and area, Little Neck Road and Strohson Road, Cutchogue,

THE CHAIRMAN: The application is accompanied by a survey
from Van Tuyl dated April 14, 1977, indicating that the two lots

have an approxlmate. L~ depth of 200' plus or minus. The lot to be
created along Depot Lane would have 229' on Depot Lane. The rear
lOt would be a little smaller but not smaller in area, smaller in
width dimensions. It's on the north side of the Long Island
Railroad, zoned "B-i". Is there anyone present who wishes to
speak for this application?
ABIGAIL WICKHAM, ESQ.: I would just like to add that the
proposed access would be owned by the back lot, it's not a right-
of-way situation. Both lots are more than adequate in area.
THE CHAIRMAN: Mr. Zaveski is going to use one of these lots,
I'm told, for a grading station, is that right?
ABIGAIL WICKHAM, ESQ.: He has very little potatoe storage.
THE CHAIRMAN: Potatoe storage and grading station?
CHARLES GRIGONIS, JR.: Just storage.
THE CHAIRMAN: He can use this for his own farm operation,
for potatoe storage or for potatoe grading or both, but he cannot
use this as a grading station for other farmers, he can't be a
dealer.
ABIGAIL WICKHAM, ESQ.: No, he doesn't want that.
THE CHAIRMAN: For a potatoe grading station, we require an
industrial zone.
ABIGAIL WICKHAM, ESQ.: Any use that he would make of the
property would be in accordance with the ~B-Light" zone.
THE CHAIRMAN: And he would probably sell this to someone
else? This~front lot?
ABIGAIL WICKHAM, ESQ.: Yes, he's under contract.
THE CHAIRMAN: What type of thing is going in there, do you
know?

ig2'. It went back in a northerly direction about
150'. in January 23, 1958, purchased ... when I say "he",

30A from Eastern Suffolk Realty tn~~>ta~t~Y,~ on May 19, 1964,
he purchased from a B. Arthur Thurm Lots 29~ and 30. The lots that
I'm referring to are all lots on a filed map known as Map of Bayside
Terrace, Map 92034.
THE CHAIRMAN: When you say it's a filed map, it's filed with
the County ...
GARY OLSEN, ESQ.: Filed with the Suffolk County Clerk's office.
~outhold ToWn Board of Appeals
June 23, 1977
THE CHAIRMAN: But it's not an approved ...
GARY OLSEN, ESQ.: Of course, the Zoning has changed so that
now it's not an approved map. The intent of the applicant is to
divide the property on the easterly side, as you've indicated before,
more or less in a row. Starting from Main Bayview and going_.north
are three houses designated on the map which was submitted ~Wi~th~the
application as Lots 2, 3, and 4.
THE CHAIRMAN: How would Lot 3 obtain access?
GARY OLSEN, ESQ.: Lot 3 would obtain access as indicated in
the application over Lot 4 from Main Bayview over a 25' wide right-
of-way. Where it says "graveled drive", it would be over that going
in a northerly direction to get to Lot 3. All of the lots presently,
Lot 2 has a residence on it, these are all winterized residences.
Lot 2 has a residence, that would obtain access ...
THE CHAIP~WAN: These are all winterized?
GARY OLSEN, ESQ.: Yes. Lot 2 would obtain access over the
right-of-way which is shown on the filed map off of Summit Road.
THE CHAIRMAN: To the north?
GARY OLSEN, ESQ.: To the north, it would come in from the
northerly end.
THE CHAIRMAN: How wide a right-of-way does that have there?
GARY OLSEN, ESQ.: 50' accOrding to the map of Bayside Terrace,
it shows a reserved area 50' wide to obtain access to Lot 30. That,
in effect, ~aroel 2 which is Lot 30, is a little larger than Lot 30
on the filed map.
THE CHAIRMAn: Which one did you say?
GARY OLSEN, ESQ.: Lot 2, proposed Lot 2 is in effect Lot 30
on the filed map. It's a little bit larger by 4' or 5'. Lot 3
also has a pr.~sent dwelling on it and that, in effect, is Lot 30A
on ~he fiie~imap plus some described property. The net result ~ld
be that the lot would be in keeping with the other lots in BayS~de
Terrace as far as size is concerned.
THE CHAIRMAN: In other words, Lot 3 doesn't conform to the
original BaySide Terrace map.
GARY OLSEN, ESQ.: Lot 3 is Lot 30A on the filed map plus
some additional described property. The net result is that Lot 3
wOUld be in keeping with the general size and shape of the other
lots on the map.
Southold Town Board of Appeals
June 23, 1977
THE CHAIRMAN: All 108' by 97', four of them 108' by 97'
GARY OLSEN, ESQ.: That's right, and it wou~d ~btain access
over p~oposed Lot 4 which has frontage on Main Bayview Road.
That is a described piece, it is not a lot on the map. It also
has an existing residence on it and would ha~e access of approxi-
mately 97' on Main Bayview Road.
THE CHAIRMAN: Ail right, in 1947 the original property was
acquired.
GARY OLSEN, ESQ.: That's right, that was a described parcel.
It was 150' deep by 192' and it did not indlude any of the lots on
the map.
THE CHAIRMAN: Then 29A in 19587
GARY OLSEN, ESQ.: 29A and 30A in the same deed in 1958.
THE CHAIRMAN: And they were acquired from ...
GARY OLSEN, ESQ.: Eastern Suffolk Realty. Lots 29 and 30
were bought in 1964.
THE CHAIRMAN: Was there anything in 19597
GARY OLSEN, ESQ.: No, Lots 29 and 30 were bought in 1964 from
B. Arthur Thurm. We would need an access variance to obtain access
to proposed Parcel 3 over proposed Parcel 4.
THE CHAIRMAN: And has the access been improved?
GARY OLSEN, ESQ.: Well, we hope the access will be approved
by this Board tonight.
THE CHAIRMAN: No, I mean improved.
GARY OLSEN, ESQ.: There's an existing gravel driveway. That's
how they.get access now to.get to that piece. Proposed Parcel 1, in
effect, is ~Lot 29 on the filed map plus a little additional striP
from Lot 29A. Parcel 5 would be part of 29A on the map'plus the
described piece that would have square footage of approximately
20,500 sq~ ft. The granting of the variance would not increase the
~ensity since the buildings are already in existence. Mr..MiChaelis
ms presently under contract to sell Parcels 3 and 4, but the contract
zs contigent upon this variance being granted.
THE CHAIRMAN: Our problem here is that this is more than two
lots, a division into more than two lots. I think the Board
sympathizes with this application and everything that you've said
here. The only thing I'm not sure of is what the Planning Board
would do about it. It seems to me they'd have to recognize an
existing situation, but the last time I approached them with a
Southold Town Board of Appeals -16-
June 23, 1977
problem like this, Mr. Wickham said that they didn't approve any
subdivisions with undersized lots.
GARY OLSEN, ESQ.: That's why I think it's strictly a
Zoning Board matter, I don't think it's a Planning Board matter
because they don't listen to or entertain applications for any-
thing under 40,000 sq. ft. It's very much similar to the Horton
matter that you approved down in New Suffolk where there were
existing residences.
THE CHAIRMAN: At that time, we were approving up to four.
We never did five but we had approved some up to four. Over four
was a Planning Board matter. Anything over two is really a Planning
Board matter and I think that this should be referred to them. Our
comments would be that we agree with the reasoning of the applicant,
~k your presentation here. As I say, I'm not quite sure what they'll
say about Lot 29, whether they'll w~o enlarge that Lot 30 be re-
quiring 29 to be included, but even th~n they wouldn't get 40,000 sq.
ft.
G~RY OLSEN, ESQ.: I don't think that the Planning Board would,
it's really not a subdivision of property as such, it's simply an
application for approval to recognize each parcel as a separate in-
dividual parcel since it already has a residence. You are not really
increasing the density at all, it's an existing situation. The
Planning Board, as I understand it, is more concerned in entertaining
new subdivisions under the present rules and regulations and I don't
see where they would have any jurisdiction over this.
THE CHAIRMAN: I'm constantly told by others that the County,
on the CountyPlanning Commission, that their Boards of Appeals in
their towns don't even approve divisions into two, it's illegal.
I think that what we should do here is to write a letter to the
Planning Board suggesting that in view of the circumstances des-
cr~.bed here we would recommend that the Planning Board go along with
this and that if they will make a recommendation to us to legalize
this division, I'll be glad to do it.
GARY OLSEN, ESQ.: Not only that, may I point out that there,
in effect, are four lots on an existing 're dealing
with. It's not a subdivision that is an
present Zoning but, again, there are existing residences on it so - ~
I don't think the Planning Board really has an jurisdiction. Also,
the~est of the property is a described parcel with two residences,
we're not asking it to be divided into any more than that.
THE'CHAIRMAN: When's the next meeting of the Planning Board?
GARY OLSEN, ESQ.: Monday.
THE CHAIRMAN: Why don't you take it into them then.
Southold Town Board of Appeals
June 23, 1977
GARY OLSEN, ESQ.: May I ask this Board if you could write a
letter by Monday indicating that, if I understand you correctly,
~h~ you have no objection to this but you just want to make sure
that they don't want to also look~at it.
THE CHAIR~CAN: That's what we have done with this type of
situation. It may be then, I'm not sure, but where counsel
required it in the case of Parker Wickham who's here tonight for
a similar type of division, he required that each of these be
applied for separately, you have a better title that way. That's
what we've done with Mr. Wickham.
GARY OLSEN, ESQ.: If it's the nunuber of parcels, then may
I request that perhaps you approve tonight the division of just
Parcels 3 and 4 as two individual parcels. Grant the access
variance and I'll, for the time, withdraw trying to subdivide or
get a variance for Lots 1, 2, and 5. In other words, tonight t~i
would just like to h~approved proposed lots 3 and 4 with two
existing residences, that these be granted a variance to be sold
as single and separate parcels with an access variance to Parcel
3 over Parcel 4. As far as the rest of the application for vari-
ances on 1, 2, and 5, I'll withdraw it.
THE CHAIRF~XN: What would you do, apply later for it?
GARY OLSEN, ESQ.: I don't know.
THE CHAIRIViAN: You're trying to avoid the Planning Board, it
looks like.
GARY OLSEN, ESQ.: Mr. Michaelis has a dead line on his
contract to sell Parcels 3 and 4.
THE CHAIRMAN: What does the rest of the Board think about
this? I can't give you all the legal aspects of it.
CH3kRLES GRIGONIS, JR.: I've got nothing against dividing it
up as long as we can make it legal.
~OBERT BERGEN: That's right.
FRED HULSE, JR.: Well, if it!s only two lots they're applying
forv we've done two before. I can't see why we shouldn't do two
now.
THE CHAIRMAN: Yes, but you're doing two and you're leaving
a third, see? Which consists of the entire balance of it.
GARY OLSEN, ESQ.: There are already existing residences, I
know you've done it many times before.
FRED HULSE, JR.: They're existing pieces, it's not like we
were cutting it out of virgin territory.
Southold Town Board of' Appeals
-18-
June 23, 1977
ROBERT BERGEN: How many tax bills do you get?
GARY OLSEN, ESQ.: We have five tax bills, we have a tax bill
on the main residence, we have another tax bill~for Lot 29A,
another one for 29, another tax bill for 30A, and another one for
Lot 30.
THE CHAIRMAN: I'll tell you what, I'll take a chance if
you will. There's no way that these two lots can beCchanged.
GILBERT MICHAELIS: Sir~ I appreciate what you're trying
to do for me, I appreciate it very much. I have never come to
the Southold Town for anything or asked for anything. I have a
dead line on a Piece of property I purchased elsewhere and I've
got to get this thing settled, I'd love it, I'd appreciate it.
As I say, we can knock these two back ones off and make them one
if you want, a small lot with the existing house, I'lL willing to
give that up and call it one lot. Those two back ones on Summit
Road, I'll give'up the one and call it one piece, that'll give
that 20,000 sq'. fi% The house I live in is 20,000 sq. ft. I
think that should straighten it out, I would appreciate it if
you would.
GARY OLSEN,-ESQ.: In other words, what he's saying I think
is that Lots I and 2 would be combined into one. Actually, that
Would then become, in effect, an oversized parcel compared to the
rest of the parcels in the community. If you look at the subdivision
map of Bayside Terrace, all of the others are roughly 100' by 110'
or so, so that wou~d become an oversized parcel.
THE CHAIRMAN: Well, I don't think that we have to bind you
to that. Let the record show then that Mr. Olsen acting as
attorney for the applicant has withdrawn Lots 1, 2, and 5 as
described on the survey by Van Tuyl of May 13, 1977 from his
application $2303 and wishes to divide Lots 3 and 4 into two
separate 10,500 sq. ft.% approximately, parcels.
ROBERT BERGEN: He's not actually dividing them, he's getting
separate tax bills now.
FRED HULSE, JR.~ It's an existing situation.
THE CHAIRM~N: Yes, but for Zoning any contiguously owned
lots are regarded as one parcel.
GARY OLSEN, ESQ.: All of the deeds were taken in the same
name so we have a technical merger of title.
FRED HULSE, ~R.: He has four residences.
THE CHAIRMAN: And up until now, you've owned the residences,
correct?
Southold Town Board of Appeals
-19-
June 23, 1977
GILBERT MICHAELIS: Yes.
FRED HULSE, JR.: But he wants four lots now.
GILBERT MICHAELIS: I'm willing to give up one lot to make
one of 20,000 sq. ft. Either 29 and 30 or 29A and 30A, I'm not
sure how they number o~ the map.
GARY OLSEN, ESQ.: Lots 1 and 2 would become one piece.
THE CHAIRMAN: I'd rather leave them out of the consideration
now.
GARY OLSEN, ESQ.: May I say, just for the record, that I'm
withdrawing Lots 1, 2, and 5 without prejudice to renew at a later
date.
THE CHAIRMAN: Right. At that time, maybe we would ask you
to combine them, maybe not. Anyone wish to speak against this?
(There was no response.)
After investigation and inspection, the Board finds that
the applicant requests permission to set off Lots 3 and 4 on
the Van TUyl survey of May 13, 1977; south side Summit Road and
north side Bayview Road, Southold, New York. The findings of
the Board are that there is no way to enlarge these lots. They
were created prior to the present Zoning Ordinance. Both lots
are improved now with one-story framed bungalows which have been
winterized. The creation of these two lots under separate owner-
ship will not affect the character of the area.
T~a Board finds that strict application of the Ordinance
would produce practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship;
the hardship ~reated is unique and would not be shared by all
proper~ies~allke in the immediate vicinity of this
in the~isa~e use district; and the variance will not ch~g~ ~
character of the neighborhood, and will observe the spirit of
the Ordinance.
On motion by Mr. Gillispie, seconded by Mr. Bergen, it was
RESOLVED, Gilbert Michaelis, Main Bayview Road, Southold, New
York, be GRANTED permission to create Lots 3 and 4 as described on
the Van Tuyl survey of May 13, 1977. There will be two separate
lots with access to Lot 3 over a 25' right-of-way from Main Bay-
view Road to Lot 3 adjoining the westerly boundary of Lot 4~

PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal No. 2296 - 9:17 P.M. (E.D.S.T.)
upon application of J. Parker Wickham, Airway Drive, Mattituck,
New York for a variance in accordance withCthe Zoning Ordinance,
Article III, Section 100-30 and Bulk Schedule ~nd Town Law,
Section 280A for permission to set off existing building on
undersized lot and approval of access. Location of property:
Parcel A, map of property of J. Parker Wickham, end of Bungalow
Lane Extension, Mattituck, New York, bounded on the north by
Deep Hole Creek; east by other land of ~applicant; south bY
Bungalow Lane Extension; west by R. C. Kopf.
The Chairman opened the hearing by reading the application
for a variance, legal notice of hearing, affidavits attesting to
its publication in the official newspapers, notice to the appli-
cant, and disapproval from the Building Inspector. The Chairman
also read statement from the Town Clerk that notification by
certified mail had been made to: R. C. Kopf; F. A. Ross; Gl L.
Penny; Joseph J. Carey. Fee paid - $15.00.
THE CHAIRMAN: The application is accompanied by a description
which describes this property and also identifies the center line
of Bungalow Road.
(The Chairman read the description.)
Is there anyone present who wishes to speak for this
application?
J. PARKER WICKHAM: You had asked last time that we get an
agreemen~ to do away with the old right-of-way which we have
obtained from all the other people that use that road. Other
than that, we really have nothing else to say.
(Mr. Wickham submitted a copy of the agreement to the
Chairman.)
FRED HULSE, JR.: That's the one that they traveled that
was different from what's on the map?
J. PARKER WICKHAM~ Yes, it is shown on the map that Van
Tuyl made.

FRED HULSE, JR.: Showing where it belongs now?
J. PARKER WICKHAM: Right.
THE CHAIRMAN: So that everybody agrees to this ...
J. PARKER WICKHAM: They have all~agreed to it.
(The Chairman read portions of the agreement.)
THE CHAIRMAN: Where was the old right-of-way, on the south?
J. PARKER WICKHAM: No, it's along here (on map).
THE CHAIRMAN: Well, the record should show that this new
right-of-way has been agreed to by all of the owners that are
involved along it. Ail of ~his property was originally owned
by Cedrick Wickham. Did he build all the bungalows?
J. PARKER WICKHAM: Yes, he did.
THE CHAIRMAN: And rented them up until the present time.
Are they still rented, were they rented last summer?
J. PARKER WICKHAM: Yes.
THE CHAIRMAN: And he died when?
J. PARKER WICKHAM: About four years ago.
THE CHAIRMAN: And a new road has been created by this
agreement verifying the location of the road. Each of the prop-
erties is described using the center line of the new road to help
describe the property. One of the things that the Building De-
partment n°t~d-fs ~h~i.t,s disapproved on the following grounds,
"Lots are non-conf-o:z/ning with insufficient setback and they're
affected by Article III, Section 100-30 and Bulk Schedule and
280A." In these discussions we are answering those objections
to the Building Department.
FRED HULSE, JR.: Ail these will have to go to the County
and D.E.C. too, right?
THE CHAIRMAN: They've been there, haven't they?
J. PARKER WICKHAM: Originally, they went to the County and
the Planning Board.
THE CHAIPJHAN: I don't know about the D.E.C., this is an
existing situation. Anyone wiSh to speak against the application?

undersized lo% and approval of access, Parcel G, map of property
of J. Parker Wickham. The findings of the Board are that the
Board is in agreement with the reasoning of the applicant.
-~ The Board finds that strict application of the Ordinance
would produce practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship;
the hardship created is unique and would not be shared by all
properties alike in the immediate vicinity of this property and
in the same use district; and the variance will not change the
character of the neighborhOod, and will observe the spirit of
~he Ordinance.
