TERRY TUTHILL ROBERT J. DOUGLASS December 21, 1978 Mr. Anders G. Wallin 59 Roderick Avenue Staten Island, New York 10305 Dear Mr. Wallin: The Board of Appeals and Counsel have agreed that a gun hobby such as you described at the November 30, 1978, meeting outlined below is a permitted use in the agriculture-residential district. The above described hobby will include a collection of guns con- sisting mainly of shotguns and rifles. Our understanding is that you will not be dependent upon this hobby for income; that you may at times sell or repair guns. You will not accept guns for bluing (an operation which will be performed in New Jersey and not done on the premises); that there will be no storage of explosives or ammunition on the premises for resale purposes, and there will be less than 20 guns on the premises at any one time. Our understanding is that you own 6 pistols for which you have permits. During our con- versation, you exhibited pistol permits from the U. S. Treasury De- partment and New York City Police Department. We were also shown the Coast Guard Marine Pilot's licenses covering harbors from Maine to Virginia. We believe that activities conducted in connection with your hobby do not require a variance from the Board of Appeals. In the future any substantial changes in your activities in connection with the gun hobby should be brought to our attention at which time they will be reviewed again by the Board. For your information a copy of the Town of Southold Zoning Ordinance concerning home occupations is enclosed. Thank you for coming in to discuss this matter with us.

MEMORANDUM TO THE FILE RE: Andrew Wallin 59 Roderick Avenue Staten Island, New York (212-273-8300) 10305 Mr. Wallin called to see what was holding up the action of the Board. I advised him that Mr. Tuthill had tried to see him at the Gull Pond Address several times and had not been able to contact him due to the fact he had no telephone number. Mr. Wallin has a New York City Fire Arms Permit in addition to a Federal Fire Arms permit issued by the U. S. Treasury Department (Alcohol, Tobacco and Fire Arms Division). Mr. Wallin wishes to repair guns, blue guns, and deal with parts through the mail. He is willing to set up an appointment for the November 9, 1978, hearing for an informal discussion before any regularly schedule hearings. BCC October 19, 1978 September ~, 1978 Terry Tuthill will call Mr. Wallin and go to talk with his about his intentions concerning the mail order business he wishes to conduct. bcc September 19, 1978 Terry Tuthill has been to Mr. Wallin's house twice and no one is there. The house looks az though no one has lived there for quite a while. There is also no record of a telephone number for this man at this address. The name on the mail box is Rollo. I called the police station to see if they had another address for Mr. Wallin and all they have is the Gull Pond address. They have not heard from Mr. Wallin since July, 1978. He has a son on Shelter Island who was to pay the fee for the license, but the son never sent the fee. bcc TOWN OF EAST HAMPTON 159 Pantigo Road East Hampton, New York 11937 ZONING BOARD Of APPEALS AugUst 24, 1978 Mrs. Babette C.

However, it is not possible to permit retail sales of products of the sea in the Agricultural-Residential zone on the premises of agricultural producers. Under our Ordinance, such sales are to be contained within the'"B" Light Business zone. Counsel concurs with the foregoing opinion. Chairman ~ RWG:med SO~THOLD TOWN BOARD OF APPEALS -25- November 30, 1978 ,~~THE CHAI~%~N: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak agalnot this applmcatlon? (there was no response). Upon investigation and inspection the Board finds that the applicant wishes to move his existing house back 15 feet from Long Island Sound due to water erosion which necessitates a reduced front yard area. The findings of the Board are they are in sympathy with the applicant. '1~ 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 the 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 Mr. Doyen, seconded by ~Ir. Tuthill, it was RESOLVED, that Jim Mollgy, 26 Treemont Street, Garden City, New York, be GRANTED permission to move a building with insufficient front yard area. Location of property: Leeton Drive, Southold, New York, bounded on the north by Long Island Sound; east bv Mahee; south by Leeton Drive; west by Orr. ' Vote of the Board: Ayes: ~[essrs: Gillispie, Doyen, Tuthill and Douglass. An informal discussion was held with Mr. Anders Wallin, 196 Gull Pond Lane, Greenport, New York, relative to a gun smith dealer business at his home. The Chairman reviewed the file and read all the pertinent correspondence and a copy of the East Hampton code on home occupations. Mr. Wallin advised the Board as follows: (1) upon this This will be a "hobby" and Mr. Wallin will not be dependent for income. (2) There will be no outside display of merchandise or any advertising. (3) Any bluing of guns will be done by a company in New Jersey and not done on the premises. (4) (5) premises for Mr. Wallin will be dealing in mostly shot guns and rifles. There will no stoarge of explosives or ammunition on the resale purpcses. (6) There will no test firing on the premises. (7) There will be less than 20 guns on the premises a~ one time. ~4r. Wallin owns 6 pistols himself which he has permits for. - ~OUTHOLD TO~ BOARD OF APPEALS -26- November 30, 1978 It was the opinion of the Board that Mr. Wallin does not need a variance from the Board of Appeals for this home occupation business.
