MEETING OF JANUARY 11, 2007

JAN 1 7 2007
o 8 Town Clef}
ZB File No. 5764 - ROY C. and ROBERT SCHOENHAAR
Property Location: 10300 Main Road, Mattituck
CTM 143-3-33.2
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 applicants' property consists of 2.586 acres, improved
with a dwelling as shown on the March 15, 2002 survey prepared by John C. Ehlers. The northerly
.78 acre portion of the property is zoned B-General Business, and the southerly +/- 1.78 acres is
zoned R-40 Low-Density Residential. The property has 197.06 feet along the south side of the
Main Road (NYS Route 25).
BASIS OF APPLICATION: Zoning Code Section 280-18 (formerly 100-30A.3) bulk schedule, based
on the Building Inspector's May 17, 2005 Notice of Disapproval, amended October 4, 2006 for a lot
which contains less than 40,000 square feet and less than 175 feet of lot width in the R-40
Residential Zone District, and a proposed building in the B-General Business Zone District with a
front yard setback at less than 100 feet from a proposed right-of-way.
SUFFOLK COUNTY ADMINISTRATIVE CODE: This application has been referred by the ZBA as
required under the Suffolk County Administrative Code Sections A 14-14 to 23, and the Suffolk
County Department of Planning November 14, 2006 reply states that this application is considered a
matter for local determination as there appears to be no significant county-wide or inter-community
impact. This communications also notes that the division of Lot 1 is along the B/R-40 zoning
boundary and notes the 25 ft. wide right-of-way servicing of the three proposed lots and Lot 2 which
is landlocked Lot 2 with no legal access to an existing or proposed public road. The County is
requesting that the Town consider an increase in the width of the right-of-way to 30 feet and to
redraw both Lots 2 and 3 as flag lots with 15 feet of frontage along the Main Road.
FINDINGS OF FACT
The Zoning Board of Appeals held a public hearing on this application on November 30, 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 t
ZB File No. 5764 - Roy C. and Rob:~'t'Schoenhaar
CTM No, 143-3-33.2
AREA VARIANCE RELIEF REQUESTED: The applicant wishes to create a three lot subdivision on
this 2.59-acre parcel. This property is split into two zone districts: B General Business on the north,
and R-40 Low-Density Residential on the south. The applicant is proposes a conforming land area
and width for proposed Lot 1, located in the B-General Business Zone; proposed lot 2 will be non-
conforming at 34,089 square feet; and less a proposed 25 foot wide right-of-way, the lot will be
32,812 square feet in area instead of the code-required 40,000 square feet, and 173.45 feet in depth
instead of the code required 175 ft. lot depth. The right-of-way as proposed would create a 13 ft.
non-conforming setback for the pre-existing dwelling on lot 1 instead of the code-required 100 ft.
minimum setback.
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 area variance will produce an undesirable change in the character of the
neighborhood or a detriment to nearby properties. The proposed lots sizes are in keeping with the
size and shape of other residential properties to the east and west of the subject property. The
proposed 25-ft. wide right-of-way along the westerly boundary of the subject parcel will, however,
create a front yard setback that is substantially in nonconformity with the code requirements, that will
increase the difficulty of access for fire and other emergency vehicles to the two additional southerly
residential lots.
2. The benefit sought by the applicant can be achieved by some method, feasible for the applicant
to pursue, other than an area variance. The proposed right-of-way can be re-located to the easterly
property boundary, running parallel to the existing 20 ft. wide right-of-way belonging to the land now
or formerly owned by Jody Pumillo, which will either not require a setback variance from the existing
dwelling on the subject property, or will be substantially less non-conforming than this right-of-way
being proposed.
3. The variance granted herein is substantial in relation to the setback relief from the proposed right-
of-way boundary for a 13 ft. setback. This proposed setback would create an 87% reduction from
the code-required 100 ft. minimum setback.
4. The difficulty has been self-created. The ownedapplicant seeks to subdivide his subject property
which has frontage only along the main Road, and land-locked for the two rear lots. The relief
requested for the setback from the proposed westerly right-of-way can be eliminated, since two
conforming lots could be created as of right with a right-of-way to the two rear lots without the need
for a setback variance, or request for a minor setback reduction.
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. While
additional noise may be created by cars using the proposed R.O.W and potential future neighbors,
the impact would not be unreasonable with the addition of two more houses in the neighborhood.
6. Grant of alternative relief is the minimum action necessary and adequate to enable the applicant
to enjoy the benefit of a three-lot subdivision, while preserving and protecting the character of the
neighborhood and the health, safety and welfare of the community.

CTM No. 143-3-33.2
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 Member Weisman, seconded by
Member Goehringer, and duly carried, to
GRANT the variance with respect to the lot sizes noted herein, and to
DENY the requested setback reduction from the proposed westerly right-of-way, as applied
for.
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.
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 Dinizio, Oliva, ~ringer, Simon, and Weisman.
Resolution was duly adopted (5-0).U/'~~

Appendix I- Reasons For Appea~
Question 1. An undesirable change will not be produced in the CHARACTER of the
neighborhood or a detriment to nearby properties if granted, because:
Residential Lots Answer-
The proposed subdivision represents a 2.59 acre parcel of land that is split zoned
with the front portion representing commercial "B" zone and the back portion
representing residential "R-40" zone. There are ten properties that immediately border
the proposed sub-division with nine of the properties being used as single family homes.
See Appendix B. The lot sizes of the two proposed residential lots are 34, 089 (minus the
right of way) and 35,105 square feet.
The nine residential properties that directly border the proposed subdivision
represent an average lot size of 23, 281 square feet. (See Appendix A- Section I.) When
comparing the lot sizes of the nine properties to the two proposed residential lots, seven
(or 78%) of the properties are smaller with an average lot size of 18,233 square feet and
only two (or 22%) of the properties are larger with an average lot size of 40,947 square
feet. (See Appendix A- Section II.) Thus, the proposed residential lots are larger than
the majority of the bordering residential lots and they are almost twice the size of the
average of the seven smaller lots. This application specifically proposes two residential
lots to avoid one atypical lot of 72,853 square feet. Finally, the potential of a detriment to
nearby properties or an uncharacteristic effect is mitigated by avoiding an oversized
residential lot in the center of town.
Also, the lot depth for the two proposed residential lots of+/-153 and +/- 138 is
consistent with other residential properties located in the surrounding area. While the
residential properties that border the East side of the proposed subdivision are of larger
depth, they are not indicative of the majority of the surrounding residential properties.
(See Appendix B.) Thus, when comparing the proposed property depths to the
surrounding property depths, the two proposed lots again comply with the characteristics
of area.
The two proposed residential lots represent a solution that at a minimum will
comply, but more likely will improve the existing characteristics of the surrounding area.
The proposed lots not only fall within the lot sizes of the bordering residential lots, they
are more similar in size to the two larger bordering lots. Further, the lot depths are more
than adequate when compared to the surrounding properties. Given the proposals
consistency with the existing residential lots, there will clearly be no detriment to any
nearby properties and the characteristics of the neighborhood will arguably be improved.
Commercial Lot Answer-
At this time there is no plan to develop the commercial property. The current
single family home on the property is a pre-existing structure that was built in the 1950s.
The applicants intend to continue the single family use of the property until such time
that an application to develop the lot is submitted. Further, the proposed right of way is
located in the same location as part of the current driveway that has existed for over 50
1 of 3

Appendix I- Reasons For AppeaIO
years. Therefore, given the current and proposed continued use as a single family home,
there will be no adverse effect to the neighborhood. Note- At the time of an application
to improve this lot, the application will comply with the requisite rules and regulations.
Thus, the setback violations will be remedied upon improvement of this lot in the future.
Question 2. The benefit sought by the applicant CANNOT be achieved by some method
feasible for the applicant to pursue, other than an area variance because:
Answer-
This property has been in the applicants' family for over 25 years. The applicants
have paid taxes and maintained the residential portion of the property during this period
without any benefit of its use. At this time the applicants respectfully seek the proposed
relief by dividing the residential portion among the two principles and their respective
families. As explained in answer to question 1, the proposed subdivision lot is split
zoned between a commercial "B" zone and a residential "R-40" zone. The unique zoning
condition combined with the large size of the residential portion and the location in the
center of town, have created a situation for the applicants that offers limited opportunities
for future use. Along with maintaining the character of the neighborhood, without a split
of the R-40 portion into two residential lots, the applicants' objectives can not be
satisfied.
Question 3. The amount of relief requested is not substantial because:
Answer-
The proposal before this board is a request to provide a variance which will result
in three lots that entirely conform with surrounding properties of similar use. Unlike a
complex request for a use variance, lot line change, etc., this proposal requests minor
exceptions to lot depths and lot sizes that will not even be evident to the naked eye. For
example, the proposed square footage for lots 2 and 3 deviates from the R-40 zone
requirements by a mere 15% and 12% respectively. (See Appendix A- Section III.)
Further, the exceptions requested for the commercial lot are based on the pre-existing
structure and since the use of this property will not change, the relief requested is also
minimal. The proposed subdivision is both reasonable and straightforward. Thus, the
amount of relief requested is anything but substantial.
Question 4. The variance will NOT have an adverse effect or impact on the physical or
environmental conditions in the neighborhood or district because:
Answer-
The majority of the residential portion of the lot is covered with brush and small
trees ("woods"). Pursuant to an approval of this proposed subdivision, the applicants
plan on developing the residential lots in a manner that will preserve as much of the
woods as possible. Applicants will take special care in preserving existing woods located
along and nearby the perimeter of the lots. Further, since lots 1 & 2 represent zone "B"
and "R-40" respectively, applicants intend to landscape the border between these two lots
2 of 3

Appendix I- Reasons For Appeal'
to create a buffer. Also, applicants do not intend to significantly alter the already flat
terrain of the lots.
Turning to the environmental conditions in the neighborhood, no adverse effect is
similarly expected. All directly bordering residential lots have public water. Further,
even if they did not, there is more than adequate land for proper waste systems because
the proposed lots will be just shy of an acre. Also, Suffolk County Water Authority has
already provided a letter of availability to provide water to this property. (See Appendix
C- SCWA Letter). Finally, the intended development consists of merely build homes on
the residential properties. Thus, the potential impact to the water, air, and sanitary quality
is minimal.

We are in receipt of your request for comments regarding the above-referenced
application currently before the ZBA. I have reviewed the map as submitted to your
office and find that a few changes will be necessary before the ZBA can process this
application. Specifically, the Town Engineer and the Planning Board will require a turn-
around area at the end of the right-of-way for emergency vehicular access. This revision
to right-of-way will change the proposed lot areas and therefore change the amount of
relief sought by the applicant.
It is recommended that you have the applicant contact the Planning Board office so that
we may discuss the proposed map changes with him. Once the overall layout of the site
has been revised to the Planning Board and Town Engineer's satisfaction, we will advise
your office accordingly and provide specific comments regarding the application.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact this
office.

Re:

SCTM# 143-3-33.2
Appeal # 5764
We are in receipt of your request for comments regarding the above-referenced
application currently before the ZBA. The Planning Board reviewed the application at
their work session on October 2, 2006, and offers the following comments and
recommendations at this time:
Pursuant to the amended Notice of Disapproval issued by the Building Department
dated October 4, 2006, this proposal will create one (1) non-conforming lot and one
(1) non-conforming structure. The structure on Lot 1 will have a setback of 13 feet
from the new right-of-way, where 100 feet is the minimum required by the Town
Code. Lot 2 will have a lot area of 34,098 square feet where 40,000 square feet is the
minimum required in the R-40 Zoning District.
The size and shape of the proposed residential lots are consistent with the nature and
character of the existing neighborhood to the west, which consists of lots that are
square or rectangular in shape and range in size from ¼-acre to 1A-acre.
3. Although the setback relief being sought is substantial (87 feet), the Planning Board
acknowledges that the structure is pre-existing with no proposed changes to the
building at this time.
4. The applicant is advised that if the ZBA grants the variances, this project will still
require review and/or approval from the Southold Town Planning Board, the New
York State Department of Transportation, the Suffolk County Department of Health
Services, the Suffolk County Planning Commission and the Town Engineer.
Based on the above, the Planning Board supports the setback relief for the existing
structure.
The Planning Board typically does not support the creation of non-conforming lots that
allows a property owner to increase density when the parcel does not have the yield
pursuant to the Town's subdivision regulations.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact this
office.
Dear Mrs. Kowalski:
I am writing to you via e-mail concerning the request for a permit
assessed to Roy C. and Robert Schoenhaar.

n Rd., Mattituck,
I live on Marlene Lane and will be directly affected by the development of the property owned by Mr.
Schoenharr. I have therefore, reviewed the plans
and reviewed what actions have been taken on the proposed subdivision to date. I oppose the subdivision of the
property on the grounds that there
is insufficient acreage for the current proposed development of the property as stated in Article III, Section 100-
30A, Bulk Schedule requires a minimum
lot size of 40,000 square feet. In addition Article X, Section 100-103, requires structures to be set back at least
100 feet from the right-of-way. These
plans do not conform to the Town of Southold zoning laws currently in effect.
Granting of a permit for this subdivision will cause overcrowding, congestion and would be an injustice to the
property owners in the residential
district who rely on strict zoning laws to protect the investment they have in their homes and property and would
impose a hardship on their
living conditions.
I wish to approach the Town of Southold in a way that will allow my views to be considered. I am therefore,
writing to you for information about
how I can go about approaching the board legally with my objections to the variance requested, t am planning to
be at the board meeting on
11.30/2006 at 11AM. I would also like to submit my objections in writing to the board. Please let me know if
there are any official forms
that I might file that should be presented at the meeting and what the procedures must be followed.
Thank you,

Schoenhaar Variance Application Thursday November 30th., 2006 11:00AM
SCTM 0143 3 33.2
From: R. Skuro, 305 Marlene Lane, Mattituck, NY 11952
SCTM # 143 3 30
I have received the legal notice describing the most recent application for a variance for SCTM
#143 3 33.2, assessed to Roy C. and Robert Schoenhaar. A section of this parcel forms the
Easterly border of my property and the granting of variances for the proposed development
brings up serious issues that will directly and permanently affect my environment, as well as
the environment and eharaeter of the neighborhood and the community in generaL
This parcel is landlocked on its East, West and South borders by residential and business
property owners. The parcel's North border is bounded by Route 25. Access to and from the
lot and/or its structures requires the use of a right-of-way. The structure on Lot I will have a
setback of 13 feet from the proposed right-of-way, where 100 feet is the minimum required by
Town Code. In addition, Lot 2 will have a lot area of 34,098 square feet where 40,000 square
feet is the minimum required in the R-40 Zoning District. Currently, there is a preexisting
structure on the property with no proposed changes to the building at this time.
The proposed right-of-way would need available access from an already congested Route 25.
The access would be located on the South side of Route 25, across from the shopping plaza and
in between not one, but two busy shopping plaza entrances and exits used by shoppers on a
daily basis. There is also a stop for the Hampton Jitney and the S92 daily bus service on one of
those two entrances. This is a high traffic area that is not only dangerous to negotiate any day,
but especially in the Summer and Fall, when vacationers and visitors make use of Route 25
and at times this reduces the flow of traffic to a standstilL The surrounding area contributes
to the congestion with a new pharmacy, gas stations, banks, boat sales and small businesses.
During the workweek, residents of the area and commuters also deal with rush hour traffic
peaks and share the roadway with larger vehicles such as delivery and supply trucks traveling
to and from businesses in the area as well as utility vehicles, buses, pedestrians and bicyclists.
In the event of an emergency, when one or more ambulance, police, or fire vehicles need
immediate access to the property, there could be a problem gaining access to the interior
parcels not only due to the traffic on Route 25 as I have described, but also from the proposed
residential development, resulting in multiple users of the same right-of-way and homes
crowded on smaller parcels of land, reducing availability to the surrounding area.

From: R. Skuro, 305 Marlene Lane, Mattituck, NY 11952
$CTM # 143 3 30
A portion of the proposed right-of-way is located along my property's Easterly boundary line
and I will not only be directly affected by the proposed right-of-way as planned but I am also
concerned about issues regarding pedestrian and vehicle access, additional parking problems,
proper and timely maintenance of the right-of-way, and other issues that arise from the
proposed development of landlocked property and the increase in population and usage of that
area. This situation may also encourage trespassing by one or more individuals at any given
time in order to gain easy access to their residence or nearby shopping areas,
recreational facilities, and other neighboring residences or businesses, thereby necessitating
the need for privacy barriers or additional fencing along property boundary lines.
I am concerned about zoning variances that create overcrowding, and will diversely impact
the environment, the character of the community and the quality of life afforded to the
residents. On a parcel of land where there currently exists one structure, there is a proposal
for two more residences to be built, one of which is to be built on inadequate acreage. There
also exits the possibility of developing a business area on that same acreage now or sometime in
the future. Also, the granting of the variance for the right of way may set a dangerous new
precedent that could be referred to and implemented in the future in similar situations in the
Town of Southold, with even less desirable results.
Granting zoning code variances for property located in an area that is already problematic
would create permanent, undesirable changes to the character of the area, create new issues
requiring more intervention by local government and authorities and possibly necessitate new
regulatory procedures, as well as negatively impact the surrounding residents, the
neighborhood and community in general on an ongoing basis for ail future generations.

Dear Ms. Oliva: ~L
I am writing in regards to the variance request of Mr. Schoenhaar for SCTM
#143 3 33.2. After looking at the map and information sent by his attorney I must
voice my objections.
· Having two homes in a landlocked plot behind a commercial plot
only accessible from Rt25 by a right of way is a dangerous situation.
· The existing town codes call for a 100 ft. set back for homes, and
this would clearly be violated on two sides by this proposal.
· The plots would also be under the size desired by town code.
· Ignoring these codes would then impact numerous homes that are
already following town codes.
The changes to water tables, drainage, lighting and building the fight of way
including its maintenance, fire safety and Waffle concerns have all been pointed out
as negative impacts from this project. I hope you agree that granting this variance is
not in the best interest of all the surrounding landowners, and does nothing to
maintain the character of the town of Mattituck.
Sincerely,
Mr. and Mrs. William Collins
