MEMORANDUM

Date: February 8, 2010
Re: ZBA File Reference No. 6370 Anello
SCTM# 1000-58.-2-13
Town records indicate that the proposed action was reviewed to Chapter 268, Waterfront
Consistency Review on April 21, 2009 and was recommended as inconsistent to the Zoning
Board of Appeals. The coastal consistency review recommended the establishment of a 15'
non-disturbance buffer incorporating the remaining existing vegetation landward of the
bulkhead and adjacent to the deck.
The Zoning Board of Appeals approved the action on May 28, 2009 (#6242) and established a
non-turf vegetative buffer on both sides of the seaward wood deck.
Based upon this condition the Board furthered the policies of the LWRP to extent practicable.
The amended proposal includes no ground disturbance and therefore, the amendments are
not significant enough to warrant a re-review of the action.

FINDINGS, DELIBERATIONS AND DETERMINATION
MEETING DATE: May 28, 2009
ZBA FILE # 6242- ROBERT and BETH ANELLO, Applicants CTM 58-2-13
PROPERTY LOCATION: 1980 Leeton Drive Southold adjacent to the Long Island Sound
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 Seclic~s A 14-14 to 23, and the Suffolk County Deparlme~t of Planning issued its reply dated
December 5, 2008 stating that this application is considered a matter for local determination as there appears to be
no significant county-wide or inler, community impact.
PROPERTY FACTS/DESCRIPTION: The subject properly is a non-confon'ning 6,825 sq. ft. lot measuring 50 feet
wide along Leeten Drive, 155.30 ft. along the easterly property line and 153.63 ft. along the westerly propaly live. It
is improved with a two story framed dwelling, shed, hot tub, decks and steps.
BASIS OF APPLICATION: Request for Vatances under Sections 280-124, 280-122 and ZBA Code Interpretation
{under R. Walz Applica~on ZBA ~3039), based on the Building Inspectors amended October 29, 2008 Notice of
Disapproval. New construclion is proposed as additions and alterallons to the existing single-family dwelling at less
than Ihe code-required minimum concerning: (1) side yard less than 10 feet, (2) total side yards tess than 25 feel.
In addition, a Variaccelis requested for lot coverage exceeding lhe code limitation of 20% on thb nonconfo[ming
6 825 square foot lot. i =
LWRP DETERMINATION: A Letter dated Ap~l 21, 2009 confirming inconsistency was submitted to the Board of
Appeals under Chapter's95 Waterfront Consistancy Review of the Town of Soathold Code and Local Waterfront
Revitaliza~on Program (LWRP) standards. The recommendation in the report read: 'Require a minimum 15 fi. non-
disturbanca buffer inco!~oorating the remaining existing vegetation landward of the bulkhead and adlanem to the
deck. Note that the buff.er should fully incorporate the Coastal Erosion Hazard Area (seaward of the Coastal Erosion
Hazard Line)." At the re{luast of Itm Board at the Public Hearing on April 23, 20~, the applicant's attorney, Patrida
Moore, reviewed that L..V~ report with Mr. Scott Hillar'/who consulted with Mark Terry and submitted a letter to the
ZBA dated April 27, 2009. Her letter states that she was advised by Mr. Hillary that the intent of the LWRP
recommendation was to keep the existing vegetation (Montauk Daisies) pleated by the applicant on either side of the
seaward wood deck. These native plants serve as a vegetative buffer, not a non-disturbanse buffer, because they
require pruning. The ~aintenance of this buffer will reduce adverse environmental impacts caused by the non-
conforming setback from the bulkhead.

7.BA# 6242- R. and B. Anello
CTM 58-2-13
J~,j~~: The applicant proposes to make structural rapaim, as needed, to their as built wood ground
leval and second story'decks, at grade boardwalks, and stairs, to change ~e existing roof pitch (in place and in kind)
over a small addition on the easterly side of the dwelling, and to legalize an as built hot tub which is a tampora~
acceaso~ structure. The Fe-existing non-cenfonning as built seaward deck is indicated at appro~mataly 7 lt. from
the rear Iof line, (the c~le requires a minimum of 35 fi) and 7.7 It. from fie Mean High Water Ma~ on Long Island
Sound. The second sto~ roof replacement is Folx~ed with a single side yard astbeck of 8.6 ff (the c,o~e mquiras a
minimum of 10 ft.), and a total side yard selbs~ of 17,6 It. (the code requires a minimum of 25 ft.). The proposed
construction indicates a total lot coverage of 33.8% (code requires a maximum of 20%).
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: At the Public Hearing on Ap~l 23, 2009, the applicant agreed to submit an amended
survey and Notice of Disapproval with a reduced lot coverage accomplished by eliminating the existing wood
walkways in the front y~rd and along the westerly side yard and replacing with pavers at grade,
AMENDED APPLICATION: During the hearing, the appticant was askad to Ixing the plan into more conformlly ~
the code. The applicant, on May 20, 2009, submllted a survey by John Metzger dated May 15, 2009 decreasing the
proposed lot coverage by 4.2% from 33.8% to 29.6% by removing 288 sq. ft, of wood wal~ays, thereby hinging the
plan into more con~ormi~/with the codes. An amended Notice of Disapproval from the Building Inspector dated May
26, 2009 confirms the prbposed 29.6% lot coverage.
REASONS FOR BOA't~) ACTION: On the basis of.testimony presented, materials submitted and personal
inspections, the Board makes the following lindings:
1. Town Law .~267-~3}t'b}¢3}H}. Grant ofthe variances will not produce an undasirsbta change in the charactor of
the neighlx~hood or a,delrimen[to nearby properties. The proper~s on Leeton I~ive along Long Island Sound are
lypically similar to the applicant's in that many am smell, non-conforming parcels improved with dwellings o~ginally
.built as summer cottages... Many have exCeSSive lot coverage and wood decking ~ht up to the wood bulkhead (there
~s no bluff in this section of the Sound), The applicant is not proposing to enlarge the existing d~elling, but rather to
make in kind and in Mace structural repairs that will maintain the pre-existing non.-canfonning selbacks.. Tha
alteration to the existing roof is proposed to remedy persistent leaking and improve the appearance of the dwelling.
The as built hot tub is a=small temporary accesso~/structure that provides an amenity for the homesvmers.
2..~The benefit sought by the applicant cannot be achieved by some method, feasible for
the appacant to pursue,':other than an area variance because the pre-exisiJng selt~ were established prior to
zoni.ng, and any edditton, s or siteralions will increase the degree of nonconformance, ~ggering the Walz riecisien and
requ~nng a variance.
L
3. Town Law ~267-bi~i(b)(3). The setback vadancas granted herein am not substantial in So far as they am not
changing any existing setbacks. While Ihs I~roposed lot coverage is a substanl~si valence, it is typical in the
applicant's neighborhood!.
4. ~ The difficulty has not been self. created, bul is the result of pre-existing non-
5. ~ No eviclenca has been sulxnltted to suggest that a variance in this residential
community will have an adverse impact en the physical or envlmomental oondittons in the neighborhood. The
property is protected by a bulkhead that is in excellent condition, there is no bluff, and the wood decks and walkways
are pervious structures On sand with no drainage problems.

enable the app~;ents.to enjoy Ihe benefit of structural repairs to their existing dwelling, stairs, and decks, while
presa~ng and protecting the character of the neighbo~hcod and the health, safety and welfare of the community.

After investigation and insepction the Board finds that the
applicant wishes to construct a storage shed in her front yard. The
Board agrees with the reasoning of the applicant. The building is
needed to store bicycles, tools and yard furniture during inclement and
winter weather.
The Board finds that strict application of the Ordinance would
produce praotioal 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 uae district;
and the variance will not change the character of the neighborhood and
will observe the spirit of the Ordinance.
On motion by Mr. Gillispie, seconded by Mr. Grigonis, it was
~ESOLVED that Jean C. Leonard, 143 Harbor Road, Cold Spring Harbor,
New York, be GRANTED permission to construct accessory shed in her front
yard area. Location of property: Leeton Drive, Southold, New York,
bounded on the north by Long Island Sound; east by P. C. Carrol; south
by Leeton Drive; west by H. Freeman, upon the following condition:
The storage shed shall be at least 3 feet from the
westerly lot line of the property and at least 30
feet from Leeton Drive.

Dear Ms. Weisman and Board:
We respectfully request that this matter be placed on your earliest
calender. It was my understanding that you had the enclosed drawings,
however, the previous appeal reviewed older plans which the owner had
revised. Therefore, this appeal is for roof changes to the house and a
roof over the existing deck. I discussed the roof over the existing deck
at the hearing but the plan was not in your file. The final construction
drawings, which are enclosed, were prepared for the building department
believing that this revised roof plan had been approved in the prior
appeal.
Therefore, enclosed please find original and seven of the following:

REASONS FOR APPEAL (additional sheets ma~, 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:
The property is adjacent to the Long Island Sound with a bulkhead and no bluff. The adjacent easterly
property owner has reconstructed their house with two and ¼ stories and the height of the one story
Annello house is significantly shorter, resulting in a significant impact on the height between the two
properties. The applicants wish to add a cupola to the roof design to add character to their home and to
mitigate the difference in height with the neighbor's home. The roof design does not add any living space
and adds to the architectural look of the house. As to the roof over the existing deck, Mrs. Annello can not
tolerate the summer heat and sun on the existing waterfront deck, therefore, the applicants request a roof
over the existing waterfront deck. The existing footings of the existing deck are sufficient to support the
proposed posts and roof over deck.
(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 preexisting setbacks of the house were established prior to zoning. Minimal alterations are permitted
under FEMA regulations. The application must replace the roof pitch to correct 1960's construction of
additions under multiple roof connections. The design of the roof will enhance the character of the existing
house and conform to the design of the surrounding homes.
As to the deck over the existing waterfront deck, the applicants considered an awning, however, the strong
winds off the sound damage fabric awnings and a roof over the deck will provide both a location for a fan
and also shade. To Mr. And Mrs. Annello, awnings are less attractive than a roof.
(3) The amount of relief requested is not substantial because:
The existing house was constructed prior to zoning and altered throughout the years. The alterations to
the roof is not adding living space it is merely changing the pitch and structural components to correct the
substandard existing structure. The roof modification over the existing house and roof over the existing
deck does not increase either the size of the living space or the existing footprint.
(4) The variance will NOT have an adverse effect or impact on the physical or environmental conditions
in the neighborhood or district because:
The property is protected by bulkhead, there is no Bluff, and the structural alterations to the roof are to
remedy an existing condition. The homes on the east side has been expanded and towers over the Annello's
home. The proposed roofs are proposed over existing structures and do not effect or impact the physical
or environmental conditions in the neighborhood. All roof runoff will be captured on site.
(5) Has the alleged difficulty been self-created? ( )Yes, or No(X ) Preexisting
Are there Covenants and Restrictions concerning this land: E No. Yes (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.
