ZBA FILE 6348
NAME OF APPLICANT: Jane Harvey & Charles Curtis
PROPERTY LOCATION: 3 Reservoir Road, Fishers Island, NY
CTM 1000-9-8-3.4
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 further 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 dated November 13, 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.
LWRP: This application has been reviewed under Chapter 268, Waterfront Consistency review of the
Town of Southold Town Code and the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) Policy
Standards. Based upon the information provided on the LWRP Consistency Assessment Form
submitted to this department, as well as the records available to us, it is our recommendation that the
proposed action is EXEMPT from LWRP costal consistency review requirements pursuant to Section
268-3.
PROPERTY FACTS/DESCRIPTION: The subject property is an irregularly shaped, non-conforming
19,060 sq. ft. waterfront parcel in the R-40 District. The north-easterly lot line measures 186.03 feet
along Reservoir Road, forming the boundary for the Applicant's front yard. The Applicant's rear yard lot
line measures 66.71 feet adjacent to Silver Eel Cove. The property is improved with a two-story single
family dwelling as shown on the site survey drawn by CPK Architecture, Engineering and Surveying,
dated 10/22/09.
BASIS OF APPLICATION: Request for Variances from Code Section 280-124,based on an application
for building permit and the Building Inspector's October 30, 2009 Notice of Disapproval concerning
proposed porch addition and alteration to a single family dwelling, (1) less than the code required front
yard setback of 35 feet, at 3 Reservoir Rd., Fishers Island, NY. CTM: 9-8-3.4.
RELIEF REQUESTED: The Applicant requests a front yard variance necessary to construct a 12 foot X
44 foot porch, by replacing and expanding an existing 8.5 foot X 44 foot deck with a new porch,
proposed to be partly located in a non-conforming area of the front yard. The Applicant proposes to
maintain an existing front yard setback of 25.2 feet, rather than the 35 feet required by Town Code, and
the Applicant also proposes to create an additional +/- 6 sq. ft. of new non-conforming porch space
within the front yard area.

FINDINGS OF FACT/REASONS FOR BOARD ACTION:
The Zoning Board of Appeals held a public hearing on this application on Feb.25, 2010, 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 and makes the following findings:
Town Law §267-bi3)(b)(1). Grant of the variance of will not produce an undesirable change in the
character of the neighborhood or a detriment to nearby properties. Although a portion, [<100 sq. ft.] of
the proposed new porch addition will be in the non-conforming front yard area, the largest potion, [>380
sq. ft.] of the 480 sq. ft. total porch area, will be within the conforming rear yard area. The non-
conforming front yard setback will remain at 25.2 +- feet at the closest point to Reservoir Road. Lot
coverage will increase from existing 8% to proposed 8.8%.
Town Law §267-b(3)(b)(2). The benefit sought by the applicant cannot be achieved by some method,
feasible for the applicant to pursue, other than an area variance. Replacing the existing deck with a
porch requires a variance from this Board.
Town Law §267-bi3)(b)(3). The variance granted herein is substantial, since it represents a 28+/-%
relief from the Code requirement of a 35 foot front yard setback.
Town Law §267-b{3i{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.
The Applicant will provide a new 8 ft. X 6 ft. dry well for the house and porch storm water drainage, and
the Applicant will also provide a silt fence backed with hay bales during construction, as noted on the site
plan survey drawn by CPK Architecture, Engineering and Surveying, dated 10/22/10. Several neighbors
adjacent to the Applicant's property have submitted letters of support for the Applicant's proposed porch
construction.
Town Law §267-b{3)ib){5). The difficulty has been self-created because the Applicant requests to
expand the porch into a non-conforming area in the front yard.
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 a porch partially located in a non-conforming front yard, 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 Horning, seconded by Member
Goehringer, and duly carried, to
GRANT, the variance as applied for, and shown on the site plan survey prepared by CPK Architecture,
Engineering and Surveying, and dated 10/22/09.
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 not increase the degree of nonconformity.

REASONS FOR APPEAL (additional sheets may be used with preparer's signature):
AREA VARIANCE REASONS:
(1) An undesirable change will not be produced in the CHARACTER of the neighborhood or a detriment to
nearby properties if granted, because:
This is the owner's vacation home. The existing deck is to be reconstructed and the owner wishes to roof over
the deck due to the summer heat which makes the deck unusable in the summer. The deck is to be extended
by two feet to accommodate standard sized outdoor deck furniture and make deck more functional.
(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 deck addition to the existing house can not be located in any other location than the back of the existing
house, which beca use the house is at an angle, requires a front yard variance. The house is angled and the deck
and roof are in line with the existing house. Thc addition and roofa re all more than 100 feet from the wetlands.
(3) The amount of relief requested is not substantial because:
The existing houses remains, as is, on Reservoir road and the existing deck will be replaced with a covered
porch.
(4) The variance will NOT have an adverse effect or impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the
neighborhood or district because:
The deck replacement with a covered deck is a minimal improvement, the house will have roof drainage and
is more than 100 feet from wetlands.
(5) Has the alleged difficulty been self-created? )Yes, or (X)No The house is preexisting nonconforming
Are there Covenants and Restrictions concerning this land: XNo. ~ves (please furnish copy).
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.

LWRP CONSISTENCY ASSESSMENT FORM
INSTRUCTIONS
OCT 7
BOARD OF APPEALS
All applicants for permits* including Town of Southold agencies, shall complete this CCAF for
proposed actions that are subject to the Town of Southold Waterfront Consistency Review Law.
This assessment is intended to supplement other information used by a Town of Southold agency
in making a determination of consistency. *Except minor exempt actions including
Building Permits and other ministerial permits not located within the
Coastal Erosion Hazard Area.
Before answering the questions in Section C, the preparer of this form should review the exempt
minor action list, policies and explanations of each policy contained in the Town of Southold
Local Waterfront Revitalization Program. A proposed action will be evaluated as to its
significant beneficial and adverse effects upon the coastal area (which includes all of Southold
Town).
If any question in Section C on this form is answered "yes", then the proposed action may affect
the achievement of the LWRP policy standards and conditions contained in the consistency
review law. Thus, the action should be analyzed in more detail and, if necessary, modified prior
to making a determination that it is consistent to the maximum extent practicable with
the LWRP policy standards and conditions. If an action cannot be certified
as consistent with the LWRP policy standards and conditions, it shall not be
undertaken.
A copy of the LWRP is available in the following places: online at the Town of Southold's
website (southoldtown.northfork.net), the Board of Trustees Office, the Planning Department, all
local libraries and the Town Clerk's office.

FORM ZB4
e°~o OF~))F~~
After investigation and inspection, the Board finds that
applicant is requesting for the three proposed parcels,
approval of insuffi~'ient area, 19,060, 14,617 and 15,151
square feet, and approval of insufficient width, 176, 58
and 138.94 feet respectively in order that applicant may
proceed with an appllcation to subdivide the property into
the three lots, ea6~ having an existing dwelling. Applicant
is also requesting ~approval of the setbacks of the existing
dwellings as they will be situated with the proposed lot
lines. The Board ~inds thatthe existing dwellings were
built prior to the' adoption of the Town zoning ordnance,
and are served by ~blic sewer and water systems. The
Board agrees with the reasoning of the applicant.
The Board fin~ that the circ~mstances present in thi~
case are unique, a~ that strict application of the ordinance
would produce practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship.
The Board believes ~that the granting of a variance tn this
case will not chan~ the chard=ret of 'the neighborhood and
will observe the. s~irit of the ordinance.
On motion by Mr. Doyen,. seconded by Mr. Tuthill, it
