in area. The application is accompanied by a survey indicating
that the lots in question range from 32,319 sq. ft. to 36,9~0 sq. ft.
Lots across the street From this property range in size from

~OSEPH J~ ~NELLE~URG, E~Qo: ! appear here iu the same
capacity that I appeared before the Pia~ning ~oardo My only
question has to do with a blanket waiver. Unfortunately~
ther~ coul~ not b~ a change of zone as ther~ ar~ no zones
to change ~o. The lots cau~t be changed. The map was not
Included in the exempt llst and was the only part of the map
that did not meet the 40,000 square foot requirement as pro-
posed in D~cem~er~ 1971. Th~se parcels were co~~ at
the time~ ~ _~ ~./~ ~
TH~ C~N: Iu so far as ~Town was concerned, at
that ti~e Sur ~e uf~ement was 2~000 sqma~e veer. The
s~llest of th~se lots is 32~519 sq~ Ft~ The ~oard 0f Health
and the Planning Board approved this sub~ivlsiou. Does anyone
else wish to speak for th~ applicant who is asking for a
blanket waiver ou th~se smaller lots in the subdivision?
MR. ~CH~OE~D~R: I would like to speak for it. I had a
similar application in here and it was %abiedo
THE CH~.IRM~N: Does it concern this application?
F~. SCHR,O~D~R: I think it does.
MR~ HOWARD TER2~Y, Building Inspector~' You are appearing
before the wrong Board. This is the Board of Appeals. Your
application belongs at the Planning Board. They are waiting
for a map from you.
TEE C~IPa~N: Our Town Attorney is of the opinion that
we can't give a blanket waiver. This opinion is reinforced by
a decision made at Southampton~ the basis of wh~c__ is that the
Board of gppeals can not assume the legislative fmnction o£ the
Town Board which would, in effect, change the zone. This would
limit the action of the Board of gppeals to one lot at a time.
MR. ~L~URG: I would tend to agree with the Town
~ttorney except that the Town has no lower zone to change this
to.
THE Ci~IRM~N. It seems that this ~mtmat. iou is not comparable
to the one in Southampton. The Board of gppeals, there, made a
compromise of 2~,000 square feet which was ~n their ~'B*~ residential
Z one.
~outhold Town Board of Appeals -3-
October 12, 1972
~. ~I.~LLE5~BUP~G: They had a ~B~ and a ~'C~.
~HE C~i~N: There is another decision in ~v files that
would indicate that you don~t have to come before the Board of
Appeals if you. have had approval of the Town and the County.
After investigation and inspection the Board finds that
applicant requests permission to divide property with less
than 40,000 sq. ft. Location of proparty: Lots l, 10, ll, 12,
13, 14 and l~, Map of Aqua View Park, East Marion, New York.
Th~ Board finds that the s~ven lots of the fifteen lots on
the filed map became substandard by' virtue of the December, 1971
amendment to the Zoning Ordinance. The lots, in question, range
from 32,~19 sq. ft. to 56,9~0 sq. ft~ in area. The map was
approved by the Planning Board, the Department of Health, and
the Department of Environmental Control, in ~uly, 1971. Health
Depa~tment approval has been extended to September 197~. It was
not included in the exempt map list. The Board finds that there
could not be a change of zone as there are no lower zones to
which it could be changed. The Board agrees with the reasoning
of the applicant.
The Board finds that strict application of the Ordinance
would produce practical difficulties or unnecessary hardshlp~ the
hardship created is mnique and would not'be shared by all properties
alike in the immediate vicinity of this property and in the same
use district; and the variance will not change the character of
the neighborhood, and will observe the spirit of the Ordinance.
On motion by M~ Gillispie, seconded by I~Ir~ Hulse, it was
RESOLVED Andrew Dz~nkowski, Rocky Point Road, East Marion,
New York, be GRANTED permission to divide property with less

upon application of Otto Macomber, Pine Avenue, Southold, New
York, for a var~anc~ in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance,
Article IZI, Eection 301~ for permission to divide property
with less than 40~000 square foot lots. Location of property:
Lots ~16~ l?, 18, 19 and 20~ Map of Goose Bay Estates, Southold
and bounded north by land now or formerly of Davis; east by
Private right of way~ south by other lands of Macomber; and west
b~ Goose Bay Estates, Southold, New York. Fee paid $1~.00.
T~he Chairman opened the hearing by reading the application
for a variance, legal notice of he~ing, affidavit attesting to
its publication in the official newspapers, and notice to the
applicant.
THE C~P~: The applicatio~ is accompanied by a copy of
a survey of Van T~yl~ dated Nove~foe~ 8, 1961~ which shows property
of Macomber as having approximately 275: on the northerly dimension,
283' on two courses on the southerly dimension~ 248' on the
westerly dimension, and 28~ feet plus or minus on the right of way.
~w~o Macomber~s house is in the soutb~esterly corner of the property
and he proposes to sell approximately' 27,000 sq. ft. from Pine
Avenue on the. west to the right of wa~ on the east (27~~ in depth
by 100~ in w~dth)~ This leaves him With au area of 148~ x 28~o
THE CHAR~ ~N: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak
for this application?
RUDOLPH H. BRUF~R, ESQ.: I speak in behalf of the application.
We would like to split the property up into three pieces.
Macomber would keep the larger piece to the south and split the
upper portion into two halves: 12~ x 100~ and l~O~ x 100~. The
alternative would be a lot i00~ x 275~. We are aware that this is
not in accordance with the O~dinance but from my' understanding of
the area it would conform to what is in acceptance in the area.
The only justification for our appeal is that everything else in
the area is of the size ! am reco~n~ending. Perhaps Mr. Macomber
could come in at a future date and argue for this appeal~
T~ CF_~L~N: You are asking for something different than
what is specified in the application.
1~ BRUER: I would be perfectly' willing to have this one
piece separated.
TITE Ci~IRi~N: I think that is all we would care to do.
~. BRUER: The only reason I asked is that everything else
in the area is of that character.
TH~ CH&LR~2~: This is Undeveloped land here so it would not
be right to start this new area with undersized lots. I assume
that you have an option to buy. I think the only way we could go
would be to divide this property into two lots with a conditlou

FA~. L~LA~D Bo PRA~ER: I think it would be hard to see
the building with all the trees on the loto It's going to be
an attractive building.
THE C_W_~LRMA~,T: ! think it's too close to the road. I
sympathize with your need for an acdessory building. Ton also
have an accessory building - a child's playhouse - on the north
side. The same principle occurs here as applies to farm labor
camps where a person wants to locate the farm labor camp as Far
from his house as possible. A farm labor camp can be located
no closerto a neighbor's house than to the owner's house. We
would want you to move it back further. ~e had a situation like
this~ recently', where the property across the street was not
deve loped.
MR. PR&~ER: I own the property across the street. I had
the accessory building laid out wher~ the playhouse is but the
Nassau Point ~Property Owners hold their meetings there° It fits
between four oak trees~ it's l0 feet by 14 feet iu size° Tb~t
curving driveway cuts the lawn. (~[r~ and Mrs. Fraser and the Board
discussed possible locations for the accessory building).
TEE C~L~IR~N: k~e don~t approve of an accessory building
being way' out on the road.
~o ~-~ER: i would have to take some trees down. If you
point it towards the drain you would have to drive over the drain,
and if you point it the other way' you run into some trees.

is there anyone present who wishes to speak
against this application? (There was no response.)
TH~ CF~: if it's satisfactory' with the rest of the Board
Z will make an appointment with you to see how far b~ck this building
can be located.
After investigation and inspection the Board finds that appli-
cant requests permission to build an accessory building in the
Front yard area on property located: Lot ¢~, Map of Nassau Point,
Cutchogue, New York. The Board agrees with the reasoning of the
applicant that there is a hardship involved.
The Board finds that strict application of the Ordinance would
produce practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship; the hardship
created is unique and would not be shared by all properties alike in
the immediate vicinity of this property and in the same use district;
and the variance will not change the character of the neighborhood
and will observe the spirit of the Ordinance.

October 12, 1972
The Chamrma~ opened the hearing by reading the application
for a variance, legal notice of hearing, affidavit attesting to
its publication in the official newspapers, and notice to the
applicant.
THE CI~!R~: The application is accompaniedI by a survey
indicating that applicant has sold property to Dr. Witschi to
the west and has kept the land to the south and east of the
right of way which adjoins the easterly border of the Witschl
property. Applicant proposes to set off a 40,000 sq. ft. lot.
His whole property has considerable beach area. The land is
fairly low. I thought it was, perhaps~ 4 feet above high ~ide.
The house is on the high portion which ison.~y~,' a ~oo~ or two
hlgh~r than the low portion and it extends o~t to the beach
100 feet to the east° The property under application is 40,000
squa~ feet°
TITE CH~.~--qI~i~N: Is there anyone present who wishes to spesJ~
for this application?
RICPA&dRD J. CRON, ESQ.: I would like to indz~ao~ that I got
into this by accident. ~s the Board can see I did not prepare
the application and }~. Smith did not sign it. It was prepared
by the builder, Walter Uhi. These papers were dropped on my'
desk with a copy of the proposed drawing indicating the main
. ~s~ zoge~he~ w!~= the ~wo accsssor~ buzldz~s (one garage and
one guest house). 0bvzously', sauce ne does own a large piece of
property~ somewhere In the vicinity of four and a half to five
acres~ we have to have permission to divide that into two basic
parce lc.
We also need the Board's approval for recognition of access
as it runs along the right of way.
~e, further, need a variance from the Board with respect to
locating the guest house and garage.
THE CH~LR~]~: The right of way is a straight line between
Witschi and -Smith?
~o CRO~ That's right. The right of way has 20 feet so
l0 feet is owned by each of the adjoining owners. ~e need a
variance with respect to where the garage and guest house are
to be placed on the premises. We have insufficient front yard
area under the present Ordinance for locating the two accessory'
buildings in the front yard area. ! can:t tell you ~ch about the
geographic characteristics of the land.
~ C~L~]i~I~N: I have.been there several times and have had
a telephone conversation w~th ~,~. ~mith. He originally started
with a subdivision of this property and that buyer dropped out.
At that ~ ~
~.me he was oalking to the Planning Board about subdivision°
~outhold Town Board of ~ppeals
-18-
October 12~ 1972
I saw a map that had this divided into several lots. In our
conversation he indicated that he had no desire to develop
furtne, but was talking about getting a negative easement.
CRON: That may yet be done,
THE CH~.IR~L~.~T: l'fe could impose a condition that there be
no further subdivision south of the existing property and no
improvement of the beach lands.
~o CRO_~I~ -We are restricted with respect to building ou
that lot to the south.
T~E Cp!~m!R~N: I received a letter from ~..wLvo John Wickham~
Chairman of the Planning Board, as follows: ~Please be advised
that H, &lvin 2mith has been to the Planning Board with a map
of his property which he proposed for a minor subdivision.
Apparently he has decided to abandon the plan for a minor sub-
division and is going ahead without Planning Board approval to
divide the property which is in violation of the Subdivision
Laws of the ~tate and the Town. The Planning Board recommends
that no consideration be given to this applicatlon.~ (Letter
dated ~eptember 26, 1972).
! have also discussed this matter with the Town attorney
and one of the questions he asked was ~what law?e. It is
permissible for a man to make an occasional sale of property.
F~o Smith sold to i~ Paust and to Dr. Witschio He now proposes
to keep what is left and has no intention of subdivision. In
discmssing this matter with Mr° Wickham, I asked if he was con-
cerned about the beach area. He said he was, and I said that we
could impose restrictions. That was satisfactory to him.
~o CRON; ~e are restricted by virtue of the Deed conveying
premises to Dr. W~itschi south of the subject parcel. He is
restricting his own lando
MR~ PAU~T: i have restrictions on his lando He offered to
sell me half of the beach.
THE CHAIRMA~N: ! think the beach should remain ~as is~.
Flq~ CRON: That would not prohibit him from selling another
portion of the beach but they could not build on it.
THE CH~r_R~N: I think what the Planning Board was concerned
about is the generally low area there~ There was so~e discussion
as to whether it was low lands or wetlands.

lots that will be created. We will face the same problem. We
would have a road that would be littered with garages and guest
houses. Mr. ~mith is asking to have buildings closer to the
road than is normally permitted and also to put them in the
front yard area. Dr. Witschi has to look at it. ~. ~mith
would rather look at the water and he has a dilemma. He says
the land is low but he can fill it. We have uo objection if
he fills or bulkheads. The lina from the Witschi property to
the water is 190 feet; ample room to locate his house and
accessory buildings. There is sufficient depth back from the
road° From Dr. Witschi~s point of view, he has to look at this
garage o
TITE CHAIR~..N: You made a point about other property in
this area°
MR. S~ANEEVICH: I think we would be setting a precedent here.
M~. Paust can come in and ask to put a garage in his front yard,
and you have more properties. Each of these people are going to
want to look at the water but their neighbors have garages iu the
front yards.
THE C.~L~M~N: In one of the cases that was heard here tonight-
locating au outbuilding way down on the road strikes me as being
inhospitable ~
MR~ STANHEViCH:· There are ways that he ca~ minimize by p~cing~
the buildings further back.
THE CHALR~: I tried to suggest that to him. The point he
made to me was that the location of these outbuildings closer to
the road was because of the danger of high tides.
MR. PA~J~T: There is no danger from high tides. You have to
have a gale storm. We had one the other day and we did not have
any water on our laudo It could only happen if you have gale force
winds for three or four days.

~. ~t~TIN.. S{YTER: We had 6 to 7 feet above in 19~'~3~,' up to

THE CH~IRI~.~N: ~.o it is no advantage for M~ ~mith to have
these buildings in this particular position. He would not be
harmed.
MR. STANKEVICH: According to the Ordinance a building should
not be any closer than ~0 feet to the road nor should accessory
build~ngs be in the front yard area.
Southold To~n Board of Appeals -21-

~Aq. P~UST: He can't go beyond a certain building line
down there.
~I~E CH~IRND. N: You are not recognizing .in your argument
the unusual character of this lot~
t~. ~TANKEVICH: I have the latest survey. This is a survey
that was recorded in the Deed to Dr. Witschi. It shows it to be
190 feet to the stone marker, 90 feet at the base° I can see
his point of view° He wants to have his front yard face the
water° It's not a unique hardship.
THE CP3iIRM~N~ The accessory buildings in the front yard are
I0 feet from the !iue. If they were in the side yard~ under the
present Ordinance, he would have to have l~ feet from the liue~
Zf the garage is not attached it can be in the rear yard and be
3 feet from the liue~ If the house were placed ~0 f~et from the
property' divlsiou and the accessory buildings were placed in
the side yard, the only reason he would hav~ to appear here
would be for ~accessory buildings in the side yard area~o
M~. ST~NEEViCH: Dr, Witschi only objects to the location
of the~ accessory buildings.
Y~q. CRON: I would like to point out that observatious made
with respect to a situation developing north of the Witschl
property has ~o application and has no meaning. I think ~.
~tankevich said something about land north of the Witschl
property (co-owned by Justice Surer and Mm~. ~mith) but this
has no bearing on any property that's north of the Witschi
property, it is not water view property and it would be
governed by a~ rules that apply to subdivisions. The Board
would not be setting a precedent by setting buildings in the
front yard area.
~. ST&~E~VICH: As you go out of the road going up to
New Suffolk ~venue is a pomtion of J,~0 acres. This is the land
i am talking about, to the north that ruus down to the water.
There could be casual sales there. The same reasoning applies.
THE CHkLR}~: When a person fills out one of these applica-
tions, there are certain things that we ignore° For Instance~
aesthetics, it is not part of our legal reasoning° &poiut has
been mmde that the garage can not be located in the rear yard
because of ~torm damage and that it would spoil the view. We
ignore '~spoil the view~. Does anyone object to accessory
buildings being l0 feet from the side line? (There were no ob-
jections), Wb~t ~. Paust and Dr. Witschi are concerned with
is the main building being at least ~0 feet from the property
line.
Southold Town Board of &ppeals =22-
October 12, 1972
MR. P&UST: My problem was in the division of property.
I understand it was an _nozrect way of d~v~d~m~ so he could
have a ~0,000 sq. Ft. plot which he now could sell off.
~omeone else is going to buy this some day.
THE C~IR~D~N: If this is granted there can only be one
residence on the whole ~mith property.
t~q. ST&NA~JICH: Dr. Witschi would like to have the
buildings moved back.
I~R~ CRON: Obviously, Dr. Witschi:s reasoning is based on
his view of Hall~s Ha~bor. I can't see where there is a sub-
stantial difference in having a dwelling 40 feet or 50 Feet
from the property line. I can't even see his reasoning With
respect to accessory buildings. All of these are still going
to obstruct whether you place them 40 Feet or 50 feet From
the property line. If that is the reasoning behind the objection,
I think it~s arbitrary. ! think It:s unreasonable.
THE CPi~IR~N: I think, in this particula~ situation, one of
the reasoo~ for this application is that this is not a lot that's
on a prairie iu Kansas; it's on the waterfront a~d is not a
perfect lot.
~ ~JTER: The applicant owned ~ll of the property at one
time. The applicant set the lines himself since he ~ned all
the property surrounding this particular parcel.
(The Chair~r~n read From the Ordinance with respect to
front, res~v and side yards. )
FLR. STANEEV~CH: More than 7%% of 2~, ~mith~s lot is deeper
than 12% feet. I think that Dr. Witschi has a legitimate right
to send his attorney here and to ask that spacing be kept in
accordance with the Ordinance unless hardship can be shown~ ~nis
hardship is not unique. Flooding can be minimized.
l~q. CRO~7: i am set. what at a disadvantage simply' because
I don~t know who made the spacing of the buildings on the drawing.
I don~t ~now the reasoning. Perhaps ~,~. Uhl _has sound reasoning
for placing these buildings at these pzrticular distances. I don~t
k~aow whether this was done at the direction of ~. Smith. !r~. D~hl
instituted the application.
T~E CI~t~I~N: I~. ~mith located tb~ house and also the
accessory buildings. It seems to me that there is no reason why
the house should not be 50 feet from the dividing line. Z can
see some reason w~v the accessory buildings should not be in the
rear yard area.

Official Map of ~he To'~, or an approved Subdivision Plat, and a

It gives him 130 feet from the center of that road to build his

THE ClqA~}~L~: I would be inclined to agree with that~ There
is rea!~ no reason w~ he can't ~nta~n ~0 feet from the property
