FO~IVI ZB4 ZONIi~G BOA~D Or APPEALS Barbara C. Dittmann, Secretary By investigation and public hearing the Board ~inds the following facts pertinent to the decision. This application is for two (2) single face billboards, located on the southeast side Main Road and 'Old Main Road~' Laurel, New York, on land of Huising, a residential area. The billboards are twelve feet by twenty-five feet (12' x 25'), each, totaling 600 square feet of advertising area. The maximum size sign permitted anywhere in the Town of Southold is six feet, six inches, by twelve feet six inches (6'6" x 12'6"). The billboards are primarily usedfDr National Advertised Products. This sign site is adjacent to Mattituck Park Properties Subdivision~ a residential subdivision. The area directly across the street is a highly concentrated residential area. Route 25 is one of the heavily travelled main arterties leading into the Town of Southo%d. A cornell~ university ~St. ud3 .Su. rve/f /~ublished in 1967 indicates 82% of the~ visitors ,to Southold' .Tow~n ~were attracted by the ~hysical character and rural atmosphere of the Town. In Apri,1, 195.7, Th, e~ Z~oning Ordinance' prohibited` off Prgmtse, s advertising. In our opinion ten years is mo~e than sufficientt/me to permit the liquidatio, n of a non-conforming us~e; nor is the Board bound, by contracts made by the applicant. Ten years experien~ce~the Board of Appea'ls indic'ates the majority of residents appearing ~'re ,the Board and the 'Civic Association consist 'off premis ,~s. billboards to be a vi~f~tion of the letter and spi'ri.'t of the Ordinance. Benefit to the public is deemed of greater importance than detriment to the applicant. Investment of the applicant is slight compared to the detrimental effect of the billboard signs on surrounding property values and encouragement of the residential use of property.. Route 25 is a two lane highway, heavily travelled, and in our opinion large signs distract motorist and increase the traffic hazard. In cnnsidering the above the Board determines that the use will prevent the orderly and reasonable use of adjacent properties, or of properties in adjacent use district; that the safety, the health, the welfare, the comfort, or the order of the Town will be adversely affected by the proposed used and its location; the use will not be in harmony with and promote the general purpose and intent of the Ordinance; that the character and probable development of uses in the district will be adversely affected; and that~e conservation of property values will be adversely affected. Therefore, it was RESOLVED Suffolk Outdoor Advertising Co., Inc., Riverhead, New York, be DENIED permission to retain two (2) single face billboards on the property of Huising, located on the southeast side Main Road and Old Main Road, Laurel, New York. Said signs shall be removed from the premises by October 11, 1967. TOWN O~ SOtJT~O~D ~UILDING I~PARTMENT TOWN CLEgK'S MFICE ~, N. Y. ~'~ ................. , ~ ....
