Properly Location: Greenwood Avenue, Fishers Island
CTM: 1000-12-1-13.1
SEQRA DETERMINATION: The Zoning Board of Appeals has visited the property under consideration in this
application and determines that this review falls under the Type II category of the State's List of Actions, without
fudher steps under SEQRA.
SUFFOLK COUNTY ADMINISTRATIVE CODE: This application was referred as required under the Suffolk
County Administrative Code Sections A 14-14 to 23, and the Suffolk County Department of Planning issued its
reply received May 18, 2009, stating that this application is considered a matter for local determination as there
appears to be no significant county-wide or inter-community impact.
PROPERTY FACTS/DESCRIPTION: The subject property is an +/-0.19 acre (8276.4 square foot ) parcel as
shown on a survey prepared for William Bloethe by Richard H. Strouse and CME Associates Engineering, Land
Surveying and Architecture, PLLC dated 02/18/2009. The property is improved with a single-family, two-story
frame dwelling, and fronts Greenwood Road.
BASIS OF APPLICATION: Request for Variances under Zoning Code Sections 280-122 and 280-124, based on
the Building Inspector's April 6, 2009 and September 4, 2009 amended Notice of Disapproval, and Code
Interpretation under Application of R. Walz ZBA File # 5039. The reasons that the building permit was
disapproved concern:proposed additions and alterations to an existing single-family dwelling, which new
construction will be an increase in the degrees of nonconforming setbacks concerning the front and rear yards at
less than 35 feet. Also requested is a variance for additions which increase the lot coverage over the code
limitation of 20 percent.
FINDINGS OF FACT
The Zoning Board of Appeals held a public hearing on this application on August 27, 2009, at which time written
and oral evidence were presented. Based upon all testimony, documentation, personal inspection of the
property, and other evidence, the Zoning Board finds the following facts to be true and relevant:

Property Location: Greenwood Road, Fishers Island
CTM: 1000-12.q)1-13.1
AREA VARIANCE RELIEF REQUESTED: The applicant requests a front yard variance, a lot coverage variance,
and a rear yard variance, related to the proposed construction of additions and alterations to the existing frame
dwelling as shown on the site plan drawing submitted to the ZBA by Susan Young, R.A. stamped August 24,
2009.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The subject property has a prior variance under Appeal # 2952 dated February
17, 1982 which set conditions to the existing rear deck as follows: "That the deck not be enclosed or roofed (to
remain as open deck area). In this application, there are additions and alterations proposed of a first floor
kitchen atop this rear deck.
REASONS FOR BOARD ACTION: On the basis of testimony presented, materials submitted and personal
inspections, the Board makes the following findings:
1. Town Law .~267-b(3)(b)(3)(1). Grant of the variance will not produce an undesirable change in the character
of the neighborhood or a detriment to nearby properties. The architectural style and size of the proposed
additions and alteratipns are consistent with other dwellings along the street, and continues to maintain the
original historic setbadks of this historic area. The proposed rear yard addition will be blocked from view of the
church property to the rear, and by an existing fence and mature vegetation.
2. Town Law .~267-b(3)(b)(2). The benefit sought by the applicant cannot be achieved by some method,
feasible for the applic, ant to pursue, other than an area variance. The dwelling exists in its present location
which will require any additions or alterations to the front and rear yards to require a variance.
3. Town Law .~267-b(3)(b)(3). The extension of the existing front porch laterally in both directions will require a
seven (7) foot, or 20%1 front yard variance which is not substantial in this case considering the front porch is pre-
existing and will extend in both directions, maintaining its existing front yard setback. The rear yard variance
requested for the proposed first floor addition atop a portion of the existing rear deck area is substantial insofar
as it will require a 22 foot or 63% variance, and pursuant to the Zoning Code ZBA Interpretation under #5039 (R.
Walz Application), such addition will constitute an increase in the degree on non-conformance.
The lot coverage area variance for the proposed additions and alterations require an increased lot coverage of
812 square foot, or 25%, total. This is a substantial increase from the code required limitation of 20%, being a
25% variance on a Io[0f only 8,274.4 square feet.
4. Town Law §267-b(3)(b)(5). The difficulty has been self created with respect to the rear yard variance
request because of the applicant's desire to propose an addition at the location requiring a variance. The
difficulty has been self-created with respect to the lot coverage area variance request because the applicant's
desire to propose additions and alterations requiring total square footage that is not in conformance with the
Code. The difficulty has not been self created with respect to the front yard variance request because the front
porch is pre-existing and any lateral extension of its size and style will require a variance.
5. Town Law §267-b(3)(b)(4). No evidence has been submitted to suggest that a variance in this residential
community will have an adverse impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood.

6. Town Law .~267-b. Grant of the relief requested is the minimum action necessary and adequate to enable
the applicant to enjoy the benefit of additions and alterations at their home, while preserving and protecting the
character of the neighborhood and the health, safety and welfare of the community.
RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD: In considering all of the above factors and applying the balancing test under
New York Town Law 267-B, motion was offered by Member Schneider, seconded by Member Weisman, and
duly carried, to
RESCIND Condition #1 of ZBA Decision # 2952 that stated the deck remain open to the sky; and
further to
GRANT the variance as applied for and as shown on the revised site plan drawing submitted by
Susan Young, R.A. with ZBA date stamped August 24, 2009 and architectural elevations and
plans submitted in the ZBA application by Susan Young R.A. dated April 16, 2009, SUBJECT TO
the following Condition:
1. The existing remaining portion of the deck remain open to the sky.
The above condition shall be written into the Building Inspector's Certificate of Occupancy, when issued.
Any deviation from the variance given such as extensions, or demolitions which are not shown on the applicant's
diagrams or survey site maps, are not authorized under this application when involving nonconformities under
the zoning code. This action does not authorize or condone any current or future use, setback or other feature
of the subject property that may violate the Zoning Code, other than such uses, setbacks and other features as
are expressly addressed in this action.
The Board reserves the right to substitute a similar design that is de minimis in nature for an alteration that does

Please take notice that your application dated March 25, 2009
For permit to construct additions and alterations to an existing single family dwelling at:
Location of property: Greenwood Road Fishers Island, NY
County Tax Map No. 1000 - Section 1~2 Block 1 Lot 13.1
Is returned herewith and disapproved on the following grounds:
The proposed additions and alterations to this existing single family dwelling, on a non-
conforming 8276.4 square foot lot in the Residential R-40 District is not permitted
pursuant to Article XXIII Section 280-122, which states;
"Nothing in this article shall be deemed to prevent the remodeling, reconstruction
or enlargement of a non-conforming building containing a conforming use,
provided that such action does not create any new non-conformance or increase
the degree of non-conformance with regard to the regulations pertaining to such
buildings." y ~
The existing single family dwelling notes a r6or yard setba, c~k, of.~..3 feet. The new
construction will maintain that setback. Purlin the Z~-ffiterpretation in Walz
(#5039), such additions and alterations will thus constitute an increase in the degree of
non-conformance.
Pursuant to Article XXIII Section 280-124, non-conforming lots, measuring less than
20,000 square feet in total size, require a front and rear yard setbacks of 35 feet and lot
coverage of 20%. Proposed constj:uetiolVfl-oTes-a-,front yard setback of 28 +/- feet, rear

MEMORANDUM eQ~..__
Just a few years ago Fisbers Island mounted a substantial celebration to honor
anniversary of the construction of the Fort Wright military installation. I'm sure many
would agree that these sturdy buildings mark an interesting chapter in our history. Thei~~'~
organization and character are a reminder of past endeavors and a way of life now Gone by.
One by one the military house on Fishers Island are being rehabilitated and turned to modern
use as year round and summer homes thereby preserving the character and context of the old
Fort.
1 UNDESIRABLE CHANGE?
Our project does not conform to the letter of the modern law with regard to front and
rear yard setbacks and also lot coverage. But it does conform to the fabric of the fort
neighborhood.
With regard to the Front Yard issue: The Fort Wright houses, are set back 35 feet
from the street with respect to their front facades. Their porches, however, extend into
the front yard. In this area I think that Section 280-104 of the Zoning Code is applicable
here because for 300 feet down Greenwood Avenue the setback is 35' to the front
fa(~ade minus an 8' front porch. One could argue that the histodc street line is the
context of the neighborhood and any other setback might produce and undesirable
change.
The porches are an attractive and pleasant amenity of these houses. I note also that the
board has already granted a variance to the parcel next door to the Bloethe house to
rebuild the front porch. The porches were originally intended to be there as part of the
design of these houses that could otherwise be regarded as rather severe. The
rebuilding does not infringe on any neighbors activity or view but actually improves the
neighborhood.
With regard to the Back Yard Issue:
At the back of the house the existing structure has a deck that is in the shade and little
used. We want to devote this area to a kitchen expansion. This back yard setback will
not actually change but instead of a deck there would be a one story structure. There
would be a beautiful door looking out over the lawn toward the water. What now exists is
a door placed further south so that one looks directly toward the neighbors shower and
deck. The design very much improves sight lines to enhance the use to the properties
next to one another.
Since the house is at the end of the road, no views are blocked. The area is not the
focus of neighborhood attention. Views are directed instead to the water. The closest
part of the Fellowship house to the back of the BIoethe house is the fire escape. If this
house is to be preserved it must be made into a dwelling large enough for normal
enjoyment.
With regard to the Lot coverage Issue: The owner is hampered by a very small lot
and there is no way to expand the house within the context of the neighborhood without
using more of the land. Preservation of the house should be encouraged because if the
Fort houses cannot be used they may be torn down and replaced with structures that
would not agree with the neighborhood character.
2. ACHIEVED BY SOME OTHER METHOD?
Because we could certainly not expand further in the front or the back without making
the house look unusual in the neighborhood, expanding to the sides is the only option.
BO~,O Or: ~ppElXt~
3. SUBSTANTIAL?
We have requested an expansion of 12 feet on each side even though we are not yet up
against the side yard limits. This dimension gives us a symmetric~,.J~ouse and a room
large enough to use for a bedroom on the west side which cover~F25,p~rcent of the lot.
If the fort houses cannot be adapted to have the amenities of modem family life owners
might be tempted to tear them down. A careful improvement of this house will help to
preserve the historic fabric of the neighborhood.
5. SELF-CREATED DIFFICULTY?
No

REASONS FOR APPEAL (additional sheets may be used with urenarer's sittnature]:
AREA VARIANCE REASONS:
(1) An undesirable change will not be produced in the CHARACTER of the neighborhood or a
detriment to nearby propertiesifgranted, because: The design respects the traditional
neigkborhood shapes by maintaining the location of the front and rear
facades in line with all the other fort houses. Expansion to the
sides make this smallest house wider more akin to neighbors.
(2) The benefit sought by the applicant CANNOT be achieved by some method feasible for the
applicant to pursue, other than an area variance, because:
The lot is too small.
(3) Theamount ofreliefrequestedis not substantialbecause: No views will be effected nor
any houses infringed upon. The project actually improves sight lines
between the nearest neighbor, Rand, by moving the exit door northward
so that it faces the water rather than the Rand's deck.
(4) The variance will NOT have an adverse effect or impact on the physical or environmental conditions
in the neighborhood or district because:
The project poses be no physical or environmental effect on the
neighborhood.
(5) Has the alleged difficulty been self-created? ( )Yes, or (X)No.
Are there Covenants and Restrictions concerning this land: IX No. [] Yes (v/ease furnish cow;).
This is the MINIMUM that is necessary and adequate, and at the same time preserve and protect the
character of the neighborhood and the health, safety, and welfare of the community.

and relevant:
AREA VARIANOE RELIEF REQUESTED: The applicant wishes to reconstruct the 8 ft' by 35'4"
front open porch which will be 27'11" from the front lot line adjacent to Greenwood Road. The new
12'5" by 31'2" wide rear deck, as built, will be 19'11" from the rear line. No changes are proposed in
the side yards. :
REASONS FOR BOARD ACTION: On the basis of testimony presented, materials submitted and
personal inspections, the Board makes the following findings:
1. Grant of the variance will not produce an undesirable change in the character of the
neighborhood ora detriment to nearby properties. The one-story front porch will replace an existing
porch, and will remain open on three sides. The rear deck will remain open and unroofed, and must
be compliant with all codes. The house is in excess of 50 years of age, and cannot be Changed.
Page 2 - March 10, 2005
ZB Ref. 5586 -C. and S. Rand
CTM ID: 12-1-13.3
There are similar setbacks of other homes in the neighborhood, although the requested 27'11" front
yard setback and 19'11" rear yard are the maximum reductions from the code that the board will
approve under the circumstances.
2. The benefit sought by the applicant cannot be achieved by some method, feasible for the
applicant to pursue, other than an area variance, The home is at least 50 years of age and cannot
be changed. The one-story front porch is existing, and the new construction is a replacement of
same.
3. The variance,granted herein is substantial. The code requires a minimum of 35 feet for the front
yard, and 35 feet for the rear yard. The reconstruction of the existing porch will be a 20% reduction
from the front setback requirement, and the deck will be a 43% reduction of the code requirement.
4. The difficulty ~was se/f-created and is related to the need for a porch and an open rear yard deck,
designed as additions to a home in a nonconforming footprint, and planned without conforming to
the current Town Code requirements.
5. No evidence has been submitted to suggest that a variance in this residential community will
have an adverse impact on the Physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood.
6. Grant of the. requested relief is the minimum action necessary and adequate to enable the
applicant to enjoy the benefit of additions, while preserving and protecting the character of the
neighborhood and the health, safety and welfare of the community.
RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD: In considering all of the above factors and applying the balancing
test under NeW York Town Law 267-B, motion was offered by Member Goehringer, seconded by
Member Simon, and duly carried, to
GRANT the variance as applied for, as shown on the site map prepared by Susan Young,
Architect and date stamped by the ZBA January 13, 2005, SUBJECT to the condition that the
rear deck shall remain 'open to the sky'.
This action does not authorize or condone any current or future use, setback or other feature of the
subject property that may violate the Zoning Code, other than such uses, setbacks and other
features as are expressly addressed in this action.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Members Oliva (Chairwoman), Orlando, Goehdnger, Dinizio, and Simon.
This Resolution was duly adopted (5-0~--~,

FOI~M ZB4
Gerard P. Goehringer, Chairman
By this appeal, applicants seek permission to construct 12'
by 34' deck to existing dwelling leaving an insufficient rearyard
setback of 16 feet. The premises in question contains an area
of approximately 8,928 square feet, with 93' frontage on Green-
wood Road and an average depth of 96 feet. The board finds that
the premises has minimal practical building area; and the loca-
tion requested is most feasible under the circumstances.
In considering this appeal, the board determines that the
variance request in not s~bstantial in relation to the code
requirer~ents; that the circumstances herein are unique; that by
allowing the variance no substantial detriment to adjoining
properties would be created; that the difficulty cannot be
obviated by a method, feasible to appellant, other than a vari-
ance; that no adverse effects will be produced on available
governmental facilities of any increased population; that the
relief requested will be in harmony with and promote the general
purposes of zoning; and that the interests of justice will be
served by allowing the variance.
On motion by Mr. Grigonis, seconded by Mr. Sawicki, it was
RESOLVED, to approve the application of Daniel N. and
Carolyn K. Baird, Appeal No. 2952 for a variance to the zoning
ordinance for permission to construct a deck in the rearyard
area as applied .for, and SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
1. That the deck not protrude forward of the decks on the
neighboring parcels;
2. That t~e deck not be enclosed or roofed (to remain as
open deck area);
3. That t~e deck not be used as habitable living area.
Location of Property: 11 Greenwood Road, Fishers Island,
NY; County Tax Map Parcel No. 1000-12-1-13.1.

yard areas at the residence known as 12 Greenwood Road, Fishers

duce practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship. The
Board believes that the granting of a variance in this case
will not change the character of the neighborhood and will
observe the spirit of the ordinance.

After investigation and inspection, the Board finds that the
applicant is requesting permission to construct: (a) an addition
with insufficient rearyard setback of 20' from the rear line, and
(b) an addition with insufficient frontyard setback of 27' from
the front line. The Board has found that the property is approxi-
mately 180' x 95' with an existing structure approximately 38' by
48'. The Board agrees with the reasoning of the applicant, and
feels that the additions will enhance the appearance of this
building and the general neighborhood.
The Board finds that the circumstances present in this
case are unique, and that strict application of the ordinance
would produce practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship.
The Board believes that the granting of a variance in this
case will not Change the character of the neighborhood and
will observe the spirit of the ordinance.
On mDtion by Mr. Doyen, seconded by Mr. Tuthill, it was
RESOLVED, that JAM~S V. RIGHTER be granted a variance to

After investigation and inspection, the Board finds that the
applicant is requesting approval of' the insufficient area and
width of four proposed parcels, having a total area of approximately
41,817 square feet, in a B-1 Zone, and having three preexisting
two-fmmily dwellings and one single-family dwelling, which origi-
nally, were utilized as offiers' quarters for the U.S. Army on
Port H.G. Wright. The petitioner has indicated that the nonconform-
ing use of the buildings has been continuous for a period of more
than two years, and that he intends to remove the existing above
ground electric poles and install underground electricity wiring
to each of the dwellings.
The Board finds that the character of the locality would not
be altered and the property values in the area would not be decreased.
Property located immediately west of the subject area presently owned
by R. Barmache is similar to the nature of the proposed.
Tha Board finds that the circumstances present ~n this case
are unique, and that strict application of the ordinance would
produco practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship. The
Board believes that the grant of a variance in this Ease will
not change the character of the neighborhoodand will observe
the spirit, of the.ordinance.

Dear Board Members:
Our lot is not within 500 feet of a farm operation. But let me know. I am certainly willing to fil

Direct neighbors are: a single family house (Rand), a church property, a school and the Fem.
District. W~hin 500 feet beyond a neighboring property and across the street from tha
