ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
TOWN OF SOUTHOLD
Tel. (631) 765-1809' Fax (631) 765-9064
FINDINGS, DELIBERATIONS AND DETERMINATION
MEETING OF JANUARY 11, 2007
ZB File No. 5984 - MARYANN MEARS, et al.
Property Location: 1050 Dean Drive, Cutchogue
CTM Parcel 116-5-12
SEQRA DETERMINATION: The Zoning Board of Appeals has visited the property under
consideration in this application and determines that this review falls under the Type II category of
the State's List of Actions, without further steps under SEQRA.
PROPERTY FACTS/DESCRIPTION: The applicant's property consists of 15,241 square feet with
50 feet along the south side of Dean Drive. The property is improved with a single-story, one-family
dwelling and accessory garage, as shown on the October 25, 2005 survey prepared by Stanley J.
Isaksen.
BASIS OF APPLICATION: Zoning Code Section 280-14, based on the Building Inspector's August
11, 2006 Notice of Disapproval concerning a proposed deck addition at less than the code required
minimum of 10 feet on a single side yard and 15 ft. minimum on the remaining side yard.
SUFFOLK COUNTY ADMINISTRATIVE CODE: This application has been referred as required
under the Suffolk County Administrative Code Sections A 14-14 to 23, and the Suffolk County
Department of Planning reply dated December 15, 2006 states that the application is considered a
matter for local determination as there appears to be no significant county-wide or inter-community
impact.
TOWN CODE CHAPTER 95 (268) LWRP DETERMINATION: After referral of this application under
Chapter 95, Waterfront Consistency Review of the Town of Southold Code, a Determination of
Consistency was recommended by Mark Terry, LWRP Coordinator dated December 1, 2005, if an
approval is granted, recommending the following conditions: 1) placement of hay bales during
construction, (2) drywell installation for the poll water backwash and drywells to contain roof runoff.
The Board of Appeals accepts this Letter of Consistency as part of this approval.
FINDINGS OF FACT
The Zoning Board of Appeals held a pubiic hearing on this application on December 28, 2006, at
which time written and oral evidence were presented. Based upon all testimony, documentation,
personal inspection of the property, and other evidence, the Zoning Board finds the following facts to
be true and relevant:
Page 2 - January 11, 2007 .
ZB File No. 5984 - M. Mears, et al.
elM No. 116-5-12
.
AREA VARIANCE RELIEF REQUESTED: The applicant wishes to construct a wraparound open
deck as shown on the 9-14-2006 site plan prepared by Condon Engineering P.C., after demolition of
existing wood step area. The new construction will replace a small porch structure and will be 1 '9"
measured at the closest angle of the deck to the easterly side property line.
REASONS FOR BOARD ACTION: On the basis of testimony presented, materials submitted and
personal inspections, the Board makes the following findings:
1. Grant of the variance will not produce an undesirable change in the character of the
neighborhood or a detriment to nearby properties. The deck is a wrap around open deck which is
proposed at a greater setback than the existing dwelling. This change will produce a result that is
more in keeping with the surrounding summer houses in the area, nearly all of which have decks.
2. The benefit sought by the applicants cannot be achieved by some method, feasible for the
applicants to pursue, other than an area variance. The lot is long and narrow, and the existing
house was built at an angle to the lot line in order to take advantage of the water view. Building any
usable deck on this house would require some type of variance.
3. The variance granted herein is not substantial when compared to the existing conditions enjoyed
by many of the neighboring homes.
4. The difficulty has not been self-created and is due mostly because of the age of the existing
house and position the previous own chose to place when building the dwelling on the lot
5. No evidence has been submitted to suggest that a variance in this residential community will
have an adverse impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood. The
applicants have also submitted applications, and received permits from, the Board of Town Trustees
and the New York State DEC.
6. Grant of the requested relief is the minimum action necessary and adequate to enable the
applicant to enjoy the benefit of new deck construction, while preserving and protecting the
character of the neighborhood and the health, safety and welfare of the community.
RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD: In considering all of the above factors and applying the balancing
test under New York Town Law 267-B, motion was offered by Chairman Dinizio, seconded by
Member Oliva, and duly carried, to
GRANT the variance as applied for, as shown on the 9-14-2006 site plan prepared by
Condon Engineering, P.C.
Any deviation from the variance given such as extensions, or demolitions which are not shown on
the applicant's diagrams or survey site maps, are not authorized under this application when
involving nonconformities under the zoning code. This action does not authorize or condone any
current or future use, setback or other feature of the subject property that may violate the Zoning
Code, other than such uses, setbacks and other features as are expressly addressed in this action.
. Page 3 - January 11, 2007 .
ZB File No. 5984 - M. Mears, et al.
CTM No. 116-5-12
.
The Board reserves the right to substitute a similar design that is de minimis in nature for an
alteration that does not increase the degree of nonconformity.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Members
Resolution was duly adopted (5-0).

Variance Appeal
(1) An undesirable change will not be produced in the CHARACTER of the
neighborhood or a detriment to nearby homes if granted, because the change will
produce a result that is more in keeping with the surrounding summer houses nearly all of
which have decks and porches. The new deck will replace a smaller structure, which is
poorly designed. When the bungalow was renovated in the 1960s sliding glass doors
were installed across the front with the intention of installing a deck or porch across the
front of the bungalow. A temporary set of steps was built which does not relate to the
architecture of the bungalow. The new design will be an aesthetic enhancement. Doors
will no longer open into space; the angles of the plan of the deck will echo the slope of
the bungalow roof. In addition, the new deck will be pale grey. Overall the new design
will be much more in keeping with the surroundings.
The design of the deck works as well as is possible with all the site conditions. The lots
run at an angle to the houses and the houses actually sit on or over the property lines.
Over the years owners have accommodated one another as decks or other structures have
been added. The eaves of our house overlap the property line of the owner to our east
(McCallions) just as the eaves of the neighbor to the west (Taylors) of us overlap our
property line. (See the enclosed photos). When the Taylors added their deck, we
accommodated their need: the edge of their deck runs just inside their property line
adjoining us. Our deck will actually diverge away from the property line to the east more
than the Taylor deck diverges from our property line.
(2) The benefit sought by the applicant CANNOT be achieved by some other
method feasible for the applicant to pursue other than an area variance because the
deck design has been carefully considered in terms of esthetics and function. The deck
has been designed to allow for egress from the sliding glass doors as intended when the
bungalow was renovated. The family has long wanted to have the option of a deck as a
place to sit and look at the water over the dune like our neighbors do. Because of the way
the properties were developed almost one hundred years ago, we cannot build it straight
out in front of the house so we have over several years considered many options and have
arrived at a design that uses angles to respect property lines without compromising the
purpose and aesthetic value of the deck. I have looked forward for many years to sitting
on this deck early in the morning with a cup of coffee, feeling that the space we have
created is elegant and peaceful and perfect for watching the sun rise.
(3) The amount of relief requested is not substantial because it will allow us to be in
alignment with the existing conditions enjoyed by our neighbors who were able to secure
variances and building permits to build decks and, in some, cases to significantly enlarge
the scale of their houses. There are numerous precedents in our neighborhood for far
more substantial alterations than what we propose. Our bungalow is one of the only ones
in the neighborhood that does not already have a deck, which in many cases, are close to
or along property lines. Adding the deck will render our property more in keeping with
those of our neighbors who have decks and/or porches overlooking the water.
..
..
(4) The variance will NOT have an adverse effect or impact on the physical or
environmental conditions in the neighborhood or district because it is an
enhancement esthetically and to some very modest degree economically. It has the
support of our immediate neighbors (see accompanying letters). Our proposal has been
reviewed and approved by the Trustees and the DEe in regard to any adverse
environmental impact.
(5) The alleged difficulty has not been self-created because we were not alive nor were
the current regulations extant when our bungalow was built and its placement relati ve to
the property lines established. It is not possible to build a deck that achieves our goals
without a variance in regard to proximity to the property lines.
This is the minimum that is necessary, while at the same time preserving and
protecting the character of the neighborhood and the health, safety and welfare of
the community. We have analyzed every possible approach to adding a deck to the
bungalow, which will allow a clear view of the water, egress from doors (already existing
at deck level), adequate space and an architecturally pleasing outcome. The family is
very concerned about esthetics and does not want an esthetically compromised outcome.
This is an intent, which dates back to the 1960s when the sliding doors were put in. It is
perhaps the retirement years being upon us now that has made us want to fulfill this
dream.
