ZONINO BOARD OP APPEALS
axl~ara C. Dittman~, Secretary
By investigation and public hearing the Board finds the
following facts pertinent to the decision. This application is
for two (2) d~uble face billboards, located on the south side
Main Road, Greenport, New Yo~% on land of Cassidy. The billboards
are twelve feet by twenty-five feet, (12' x 25'), each, totaling,
1200 square feet of a~vertising area. The maximum size sign per-
mitted anywhere in the Town of Southold is six feet, six inches
by twelve feet, six inches (6'6" x 1236"). The billboards are
primarily used for National Advertised Products. This sign site is
located in a residential area and is immediately adjacent to
Greenport Homes, a residential housing development. Route 25
is one of the heavily-traVelled main, arteries ~eading into the
-Town of Southold. A Cornell University Study Survey, published
in,1967 indicates 82% of the·visitors to Southold Town were
attracted by the,physical character and~r~l atmosphere of the
Town. In'April, 1957~the Zoning) Ordinance prohibited the off '
premises~advertising. In our opinion ten years is more than'
sufficient time to permit the liquidationof a non-conforming
~use; nor~ is the Board bound by,any contracts made by ~he applicant.
Ten years experience of the $oard of Appeals indicates the majority
of residents appearing before the Board and the Civic Association
consider off premises billboards to be a violation of the letter
and spirit of the Ordinance. Benefit to the public is deemed of
greater importance that 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 the property. Route 25 is a two lane
highway, heavily travelled, and in our opinion ~ rge signs distract
motorist and increase the traffic hazard.
In considering the above~e Board determines that the use
will prevent the orderly and reasonable use of adjacent properties
or the properties in adjacent use districts; that the safety, the
health, the welfare, the comfort, or the order of the Town will be
adversely affected by the proposed use and its location; the use
will not be in harmony with and promote the general purpose and
intent of the Ordinance; and that the character a~d probable
· a se
development of uses in the district will be~e~d and that the
conservation property values willbe adversely affected.
Therefore, it was RESOLVED Suffolk Outdoor Advertising Co., Inc.,
Riverhea~ New York, be DENIED permission to retain two (2) ~ double
face billboards on the land of Cassidy, located on the south side
Main Road, Greenport, New York. Said signs shall be removed from the
premises by October 11, 1967.
