Dittmann, Secretary By investigation and ~ub~ic hearing the Board finds the following facts pertinent to the decision. This application is for three (3) single~face billboards, located on the west side Main Road, south side North Road at the Traffic Circle, Greenport, New York, land of Witherspoon. The billb~ds are twelve feet by twenty-five feet, (12s x 25~), each, totaling 900 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 12s 6"). The billboards are primarily used for National A~vertised Products. This sign site is at the ju~=tion of Route 27 and Route 25, where the two main arteries of the Town connect by traffic circle and is a particularly hazardous if~rsection. Route 25 and Route 27 are both heavily trav~lled main arteries leading into the TOWn Of Southold2,~A.COr~eli University Study su~Vey~publis~ed in I967'indicates'82% 6f the'~isit6~s 'to Southold Town.~ere attracted by the phy~i6al character and rural atmosphere, of t~ Town. In April, 1957, the Zoning OrdinanCe p~ohibited o~ ~ premises~adve~tising. In our 0~inio~ ten years iS more than sufficient time to permit the liquidation Of a non~conf6rming Use; nor is the Board b~uhd by co~tracts mad~ by the ~PPlicant~ Ten years e~perience of the Board of Ap~eal~ indicates the m~jority 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 than detriment to the applicant. Investment of the applicant is slight compared to the detrimental effect of the bill- board signs on surrounding property values and encouragement of the residential use of the property. Route 25 and Route 27 are both two lane highways, heavily travelled, and in our opinion large signs distract motorist and increase the traffic hazard. In considering the above the Bo~d determines that the use will pre~ent 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 /ntent of the Ordinance and that the character and probable development of uses ~ the district will be adversely affected and that the conservation of property values will be adversely affec~d. Therefore, it was RESOLVED that Suffolk Outdoor Advertising Co., Inc., Riverhead, New York, be DENIED permission to retain three (3) single face billboards on the property of witherspoon, located on the west side Main Road, south side North Road, at the traffic circle, Greenport, New York.
