FINDINGS, DELIBERATIONS AND DETERMINATION
MEETING OF APRIL 20, 2011
ZBA FILE No.: 6447
NAME OF APPLICANT: Mary Ann Price
PROPERTY LOCATION: 730 Love Lane, Mattituck, NY
CTM: 1000-140-2-18
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 Jan. 11, 2011 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: Subject property consists of a 34,578 sq. ft. parcel in the
HB Zone. The irregular northerly lot line measures 185 feet along an adjacent parcel located in the
Residential Office Zone, the easterly lot line measures 211.23 feet along another adjacent parcel in
the Hamlet Business Zone, the southerly lot line measures 187.64 feet along a parcel in the Hamlet
Business Zone, and the westerly lot line measures 183.67 feet along Love Lane, with properties
across the street located in the Residential Office Zone. The parcel is improved with a two story
framed dwelling containing two apartments and a take-out food establishment named the Iron
Skillet, as shown on the site survey prepared by Peconic Surveyors, PC, and dated May 11, 2000.
BASIS OF APPLICATION: Request for a Special Exception per Code Section 280-45B(8) for the
additional use of the property for seasonal, weekend/holiday, open-air antique flea market sales.
RELIEF REQUESTED: The Applicant requests a Special Exception for seasonal weekend open-
air "antique flea market" sales to be conducted by vendors during the months of April through
December. The original application described the flea market "to consist of multiple vendors with
a maximum of 28 individual spots to set up on the entire lawn area". Days of operation were
originally proposed to be "weekends and holidays from dawn to dusk". On Feb. 14, 2011 the
Page 2 - April 20, 2011
ZBA File#64a. 7 - Price
CTM: 1000-140-2-18
Applicant submitted a revised site plan that proposed 18 vendors, admitted by reservations only,
with "sales on Sundays and Holidays from 8:00am until 6:00pm, with setup starting at 7:30am".
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The Applicant's parcel was granted a prior Special Exception
variance in the Decision made under Appeal #3407, dated Dec. 5, 1985, for the second use of
conducting a take-out food catering business. The Applicant's parcel was also granted another
Special Exception variance in the Decision made under Appeal #4980, dated Aug. 28, 2001, for the
third use of seasonal, open-air, antique sales by an unspecified number of vendors, and which
would happen no more than one day per week. This variance was "time-limited", and did expire
on Sept. 30, 2002, without a request by the Applicant for this Special Exception to be extended or
renewed.
The Board of Zoning Appeals requested comments from the Southold Town Planning Board and
the Southold Town Code Enforcement Officer. The Planning Board responded on February 1,2011
noting that the proposed use is compatible within the downtown hamlet business district. However,
they recommended that the proposal be reduced to fewer vendors than proposed because of the
intensification of uses on the property, that the existing retail catering/restaurant be closed to the
public during the hours of operation of the proposed flea market, restrictions on the days and times
of operation, and appropriate conditions on the use, if granted. The hearing on this application was
closed on March 3,2011 with the record being kept open to receive additional written comments
from The Planning Board and Code Enforcement Officer and all concerned parties. On_April 1,
2011 the Planning Board wrote a memo to the ZBA stating that according to Town Code section
280-45B(8) the applicant must apply for site plan review and approval. The Code Enfomement
Official responded to the ZBA's request in a memo dated Mamh l 0, 2011, in which he noted that
the Iron Skillet is legally operating on the site and that the owner's need to obtain proper approvals
to operate the flea market that is allowed in the HB Zone by Special Exception of the Board of
Appeals. The record was closed on April 7, 2011.
During the Public Hearings there were several people who reside on the North end of Love Lane
near the proposed flea market who spoke against the application, based upon the negative impacts
the operation of the flea market over the past years has had on their peace and quiet and right to
privacy on their property. Several flea market vendors and local Love Lane businesses spoke in
favor of the application, noting it's positive impacts on business. The Board also received several
petitions that were submitted in favor of the application, and numerous letters in both support and
objection.
F1N~INGS OF FACT/REASONS FOR BOARD ACTION:
The Zoning Board of Appeals held a public hearing on this application on February 3,2011, and on
March 3,2011, 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:
The Board has reviewed the General Standards governing Special Exception uses set forth in
Section 280-142 and finds:
A. That the third use of this property for seasonal, weekend, open-air antique flea market
sales, with the conditions attached and further described below, will not prevent the orderly
Page 3 - April 20, 2011
ZBA File#6447 - Price
and reasonable use of adjacent properties or of properties in adjacent use districts,
including the customary residential use permitted within the adjacent Residential Office
Zone, and the customary uses permitted within all the other types of adjacent Zones.
In delineating that the days of operation of the flea market be on one Saturday per month,
rather than on Sundays, as requested by the Applicant, this Board expresses an intent to
preserve the relative tranquility typical of a residential neighborhood during Sundays, such
that does exist within the nearby Residential Office Zone, where there is a lower level of
business activity conducted on Sundays than that which typically occurs during the rest of
the week.
B. That the use will not prevent the orderly and reasonable use of permitted or legally
established uses in the district wherein the requested use is located or of permitted or
legally established uses in adjacent use districts.
C. That the safety, the health, the welfare, the comfort, the convenience or the order of the
town will not be adversely affected by the proposed use and its location. By limiting the
days and hours of operation to one Saturday per month from 7am to 4pm, and specifically,
for the duration of One Year, as noted in the attached conditions, the Board provides a
measure of protection, and a method of potential recourse through feedback to the Board,
for those persons residing within the neighborhood who may be directly impacted by this
new use.
D. That the use will be in harmony with and promote the general purposes and intent of
this chapter. While considering that this will be an additional use for this property, the
Board recognizes that the use is permitted within the Hamlet Business Zone.
E. That the use will be compatible with its surroundings and with the character of the
neighborhood and of the community in general, particularly with regard to visibility, scale
and overall appearance. The utilization of the parcel for the purpose requested by the
Applicant is permitted by Town Code within the Hamlet Business Zone; pursuant to the
grant of a Special Exception, and the Town Planning Board's site plan approval.
The immediate neighborhood is comprised of a composite of various sized parcels in
several Zones, including the Hamlet Business, Light Industrial, Limited Business, and the
Residential Office Zones. There are many different permitted uses within these Zones.
F. That all proposed structures, equipment and material shall be readily accessible for fire
and police protection. With reference to proposed site plan drawings provided by the
Applicant, the existing access as shown shall not be obstructed by the vendors, or their
customers' vehicles. No structures will be constructed for the proposed open-air sales.
BOARD RESOLUTION: 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, a Special Exception permit for the limited operation of a flea market,
Subject to the following conditions:

12. Signs will be posted on the property stating that customers may not block the neighbor's
driveways with their parked cars.
13. An evergreen hedgerow shall be planted and maintained along the northerly lot line of subject
property to provide a buffer for the single-family dwelling located on the adjacent parcel which is
located within the adjacent Residential Office Zone.
14. This variance shall be limited to the duration of one [1] year from the date of signing, and shall
be subject to review and possible renewal by this Board, upon receipt of the applicant's request.
15. This Special Exception permit is granted subject to site plan approval by the Southold Town
Planning Board

RE: ZBA Application//6447: Mary Ann Price Flea Market - SCTM//1000-140-2-18
In response to your March 16, 2011 Request for Comments regarding the above subject, the
Planning Board has reviewed ToWn Code Section 280 - 45 B (8):
Uses permitted by special exception by the Board of Appeals. The following uses are
permitted as a special exception by the Board of Appeals as hereinafter provided, except
Subsection B (10), which may be permitted as a special exception by the Planning Board,
and all such special exception uses shall be subject to site plan approval by the Planning
Board: ...(8) Flea markets...
Upon review of this Code section, the Planning Board has determined that an applicant for a flea
market use must apply for site plan review and approval. In this ease, the applicant has an
approved site plan for a different use, and therefore must apply to the Planning Board for an
amended site plan.
The Planning Board has reviewed the revised plan for the proposed flea market reducing the
number of vendors from 28 vendors to 18. Our ability to provide complete comments is limited
by (1) the fact that a site plan application has not yet been made to this Department, and (2) the
lack ora drawing depicting all the proposed activity on the plan with accurate dimensions. The
applicant should be encouraged to make a site plan application (amended site plan) at their
earliest convenience.
Upon review of this new plan for a flea market with 18 vendors, the Planning Board has the
following preliminary comments:
Zoning Board of Appeals, Price Flea Market
April 1,2011
Page Two
The parking shown for patrons appears to be inadequate, as only nine are
proposed. A parking space appears to be shown too close to a fire hydrant.
Parking issues might be mitigated by assessing whether there is ample parking in
the nearby municipal parking lot. Knowing which nearby businesses rely on the
municipal parking, how much parkingthey need, and also whether they are open
on Sundays and holidays are all necessary factors which enable us to determine
whether there is enough parking for this flea market. Alternatively, the applicant
could be asked to identify some other additional parking that might be available
for them to lease during the flea market days.
2. Identify which holidays the flea market will be operating, and which other
businesses needing the municipal parking are also open on those holidays.
3. Are there adequate sanitary facilities on site? If Suffolk County Health
Department has jurisdiction here, is their approval required?
4. Without accurate dimensions on the plan, it is difficult to determine whether this
plan meets emergency access requirements.
The southernmost driveway is not shown on the 1986 Planning Board approved
site plan. Curb cuts on Town roads need to be approved by the Highway
Department, and additional driveways into an already approved site plan require
Planning Board review and approval.
Although we have identified the above as issues that should be considered, it should be noted
that the concept of bringing more and varied commercial uses that contribute to pedestrian
traffic to the downtown area is supported by the Town's Comprehensive Plan. In particular,
the Mattituck Hamlet Stakeholder Study calls for the Town to encourage uses that contribute
to a vibrant downtown area. It seems that this proposed flea market use could potentially be a
positive contribution to the area if the issues identified above are mitigated or corrected.
The Planning Board concurs with Mr. Rallis that the current use of the site as the Iron Skillet
is in keeping with the 1986 Planning Board site plan approval. Please feel free to contact us
with any further questions.

FROM:
Damon
DATE: March 10, 2011
RE: SCTM#1000-140.-2-18; Price/Iron Skillet
As per your request:
Upon investigation of the flea market violation, this office considered the "Iron
Skillet" or "restaurant" use as noted in your request. The building department has
historically allowed retail, take-out and catering food establishments to have up to
16 seats for patrons to eat on site. This number is in line with the Suffolk County
standards. Once an establishment moves above 16 seats, the county defines it as a
restaurant.
Because the Iron Skillet has only 12 seats and is not considered a restaurant by the
Suflblk County Health Department, it is my determination that the establishment
is operating legally within its existing certificate of occupancy, as well as its
previous Planning Board approval.
Furthermore, it was my determination that although the proprietors are not
currently offering a "take out" component, it does not automatically change the
use of the property to a "restaurant." There would be no need for a new "SPUD"
because it is my belief that they are not only in compliance with their original
Planning Board approval, but by taking out the "take-out" component, the use is
actually far less intense than the one first approved in 1986.
RECEIVED
Therefore:
BOARD OF APPEALS
]No violation bas been issued for the "retail food establishment"
because it is not in violation of town code or its current certificate of
occupancy
There is no need for the "retail food establishment" to be "re-
considered" by the planning department as it already has a prior
approval. In fact, even if we were to consider this to be a restaurant
use, the building department could approve it without a new site plan
because it is a less intense use based on our towns parking
requirements.
The property owners were issued a violation for operating a "flea market," a
permitted use by special exception, without proper approvals. I have not issued a
violation, nor will I acknowledge a previous ZBA variance because a flea market
is allowed, as of right, as long as the applicant has the proper approvals.
Therefore:
The property has been issued a single use violation not in connection
with any previous variances.

Re:
Request for Comments for Maryann Price - Flea Market
SCTM#1000-140-2-18 ZBA# 6447
The Planning Board received your request for comments regarding the above-
mentioned application for special exception consideration for a flea market. As
you are aware, currently there is a 2 story mixed-use building certified for retail
use and apartments by a special exception (ZBA# 3407) that allowed for a
country store (selling take out prepared foods & catering only) and two dwelling
units. The proposed special exception use is to have 28 individual vendors on a
previously developed 34,578 sq. foot parcel, located on Love Lane in the Hamlet
Business Zoning District.
The above-mentioned has been reviewed for site development and the following
comments are for the Zoning Board to consider.
Number Of Uses & Parking
Conceptually, the proposed use is a good use for the downtown hamlet of
Mattituck however, based on the existing and proposed uses of the site, a
concern of the Planning Board would be the flea market use is proposed to
operate on weekends and holidays. Therefore, the potential impact to traffic and
available on-site parking could be an issue. Based on the survey submitted by
the applicant and a site inspection it would appear there are approximately 14
parking spaces for on-site parking along the rear property line however 2 parking
spaces are for tenants of the building and additional spaces should be
designated for the retail use as well leaving less on-site parking for the flea
market use.
ZBA #6447- Comments for Maryann Price
P.2
As per the Parking schedule in the Town Code, there is not a parking calculation
to apply to a proposed Flea-Market use but it should be noted that there is
municipal parking at the train station and in close proximity to subject parcel.
Summary With Recommendations:
The most significant issues are the following:
1. Although the proposed mix-use development conceptually is in keeping
with the intent of the Hamlet Business Zoning District and the
Comprehensive Plan, the multi-use of the substandard parcel may need to
be scaled back. It would be recommended that conditions be placed to
limit the amount of venders and/or limit the retail use to days/hours of
operation of when the flea market is in use.
2. On site parking seems to be a concern. The Zoning Board should
consider limiting the number of venders to the number of parking spaces
for each vendor due to the length of time a vendor would occupy any off
site parking space. It should be noted that based on the survey submitted
and provided the retail use was not in operation, 12 vendors could be
accommodated on site for parking. Another alternative is that the
applicant could essentially alternate weekends for their potential 28
vendors proposed.
3. Although there is municipal parking in close proximity, the flea market use
may add to seasonal parking & traffic congestion. It is recommended that
the Zoning Board consider limiting the retail use to hours/days of when the
flea market is in use. It would be further recommend that should
traffic/parking become an issue, the Zoning Board require a traffic
control/parking plan or reserve the right to revoke the special exception.
Based upon the above, the Planning Board would recommend that the special
exception be granted, provided there are appropriate conditions placed on the
use.
We hope that the information provided to you is helpful. Should you have any
questions or need additional information, please contact the Planning
Department. Thank you.

FLEA MARKET - ?30 LOVE, LANE
BOARD OF APPEALS
I am requesting a special exception for the following additional use of my
Hamlet Business property at 730 Love Lane, Mattituck, N.Y.
Antiques flea market to consist of multiple vendors with a maximum of 28
individual spots to set up on the entire front lawn area extending to the
asphalt parking lot. Approximately 11,200 sq. ft. of lawn space is available.
150 sq. ft per vendor = 4,200 sq ft with 7,000 sq ft of pedestrian traffic space
not including driveways. Note that many vendors occupy 80 sq ft or less.
Charge currently for space rental will be $25-$30 per vendor.
Days of operation would be Weekends and holidays from dawn to dusk with
all merchandise being set up and removed on the day of the sale.
Items to be sold would be antiques including antique furniture, lighting
fixtures, old farm items, military, vintage linens and clothing, estate jewelry,
bric-a-brac, collectibles, hand made items, north fork related items,
memorabilia, nostalgic items, tools.
Shoppers have been reluctant to follow instructions to park in the rear lot. In
addition, traffic in and out of the driveway could pose a potential risk to
pedestrians. The rear lot therefore is better suited to vendor parking as those
vehicles will not be moved through the course of the day. Space for up to
13-14 vendor vehicles would be available for in the main parking lot as well
as rear driveway with additional parking at the west end of the train station.
The Sunday flea market in the past has proved to be a successful vehicle for
bringing customers to the Love Lane business district and an outlet for both
local residents and visitors alike.
Thank you for your consideration.
Respectfully,
Mary Ann Price

TO: SOUTHOLD ZONING BOARD
FROM: MARY ANN PRICE
730 LOVE LANE
MATTITUCK, N.Y.
DATE: FEBRUARY 14, 2011
The attached revised site plan includes the following:
18 vendor spaces 10 x 15 ft with 5-10 ft wide walkways for shoppers.
Parking spots for 18 vendors on the property
Parking spots for 2 owner vehicles and 2 extra visitor spots.
One tenant parking spot (studio apt).
Garbage receptacle.
Sale would be Sundays and Holidays from 8:00 am until 6:00 with set up starting at 7:30
a.m.
Once the vendors are set up and parked in the rear driveway, the front entrance of the
driveway will be closed off which will provide additional parking spots on the street.
Also both entrances to the main driveway would be closed off to vehicle use for
additional customer safety and street parking. The gravel driveway would be for access
to the rear parking lot by vendors, owner and tenant.
Vendors will be directed where to park. Reservations for spots will have to be made in
advance at which time vendors will be advised of the terms and conditions of the sale.
Box trucks will be prohibited.
A 3' high picket fence or hedges can be placed along the front of the property as well as
taller shrubs along the north property line to obscure the view from residential neighbors.
I hope that with this reduction in vendor spaces, provision of vendor parking, elimination
of Saturday sale, supervision and monitoring of vendors and addressing privacy and
safety issues that the zoning board will respond favorably to my request for the Sunday
flea market special exception.

BASIS'OF APPEAL: Building Inspector's NoJice of Disapproval dated May 12, 2001,
denyin{~ a permit {~ conduct an antiques sales buginass on the property because this
v~0uic[ be a third ~lSe requiting an additional 20,000 sq. fL of properly and a total of
80;(~00 Sq. fL u~der Coda section 100-92.
AREA VARIANCE RELIEF REQUESTED: Applicant requests a variance authorizing the
p~'0po~ a~flqfiffS sales use on the property one dayper Week, plus authorization to
display' one or two tables Pf merchandise on other days in applicant's discretion.
REASONS FOR BOARD ACTION, DESCRIBED BELOW; On the basis of testimony
presented, materials subthitted and personal inspection, the Board makes the following
findings:
1. Applicant, the new owner of the pmpany, has considerable experience in
antiques sales, and wishes to conduct a similar business outdoors on the subject
property, She exoects that dealers will set out their merchandise on a ~esignated day
each week during toe warm weather, using lawn areas that total over 7,000 sq, ft.
Applicant submitted a ~lan showing 11 ~arking spaces for customers of the take-out
shoo and the a~fioues business, plus other parking for the shoo owners and residential
tenants:.
2. The subject property is located on the same street as. and just north of a busy
business district and the Long rsland RR station. The lawn area is large enough to
accommodate the proposed sales activity without encroaching closely on the street. The
sales activity w~l occur only one day per weak and will not constitute the addition of a
full-time, permanent use on the property. For these reasons, the action set forth below
will not produce ar' undesirable change in the character of the neighborhood or
detriment to nearby propemes.

1000-1402-18 at Matfltuck
3, Although there is no evidence.that granLof the [equested variance will have an
adverse effect or impact on physical or environmental conditions, the Board is
concerned about the adequacy of on-site parking, For this rsason, the Board will impose
a condition intended to prevent pardcipating antioues oaa~ers from parldng on the
subject property.
4. Relative to the Code requirement for 20,000 sq. ft. of area for each use on the
property, the requested variance is substantial. However, the prooosed use may prove
to be a benef'mlal addition to the Mattituck business district a~d will be limited to one day
per week. Consequentty. the Board will grant a time.limited variance authorizing the
proposed use, so as to be able to review the ~mpacta of the operation after one year.
5. The action set forth below is the mimmum necessary to enable applicant to
establish a limited antiques sales business while preserving and protecting the character
of the neighborhood and the health, safety and welfare of the commudity.
p. ESOLUTION/ACTION: On motion by ~ember Collins. seconded by Chairman
G0ehringer. it was
RESOLVED. to GRANT a vadance authorizing for one year the operation of an
oean-air antiques sales business on the subject property, as described in materials
submitted to the Board. subject to the following CONDITIONS:
I The business may ope[ate only one day per week. and there shall be no
merchandise displays of any sor~ on other days.
2. There shall be no permanent installations nor shal{ ~ny tents be erected

vehicles in the nearby public parking areas, and shall diligently work to ensJre that they
do not pa~k in tha Area "C" spaces,
4. This vadanse authorization shall expire on September 30. 2002. Applicant is
free to apply in a timely manner for a further authorization b~ this Board.

Memo from Damon Rallis to the ZBA
To: Southold Town Zoning Board of Appeals:
Re: Print of notes read at March 3, 2011 meeting.
The 730 Love Lane Special Exception Request should rightfully be studied
to see if conforms to the current Southold Town Master Planning.
About this Plan, Mark Terry, is quoted as saying, "Residents don't want
their hamlets to turn into hodge-podges of corporate bustle."
Yard sales and Flea Markets are nothing but hodge-podges of bustle. I
believe this is why they have been severely restricted in Southold Town to
once-a-year per property, and require a permit.
In the Suffolk Times on-line edition shortly after the February Hearing a
comment was posted comparing the Love Lane sales to the Strawberry
Festival and the Mattituck Street Sale. This is a good comparison only
the Festival and Street Fair occur once a year, not every week.
Under "Mattituck Hamlet", the Southold Town Master Plan is especially
sensitive to Mattituck. They now realize that driving into Mattituck's
Business corridor on Route 25 is a visitor's first impression of Southold
lown. What was relegated to this stretch in year's past is not so
inviting now.
Under Section IV - Specific Hamlet Improvement Recommendations:
1. Commercial Sprawl must be prohibited.
4. Provide Pedestrian connection across Route 48 to Love
Lane.
...reestablish Mattituck as a destination for transient
boaters.
...attract transient boaters.
...bring visitors without adding automobile traffic and
parking problems.
Mattituck Hamlet on Love Lane has created the ambience to attract a TV
company. Let's not junk up Southold Town and Mattituck, in particular.
I strongly urge the Town to find another location for a continuous Yard
Sale/Flea Market and the wonderful vendors. (Note: Such sales need to be away
from a residential setting. They need to be where there is appropriate
room that vendors and customers will not congest street and destroy the
Sunday peace of a residential neighborhood.)

Subject: [SPAM] - 2:00 PM - MARY ANN PRIC
To Whom it May Concern,
We are Chris and Ann Young owners of the property next door to Mary Ann Price on Love Lane. The
legal address of our property is 870 Love Lane, Mattituck. Tax map number 73889 140.-2-17.
We submit for consideration to the town of Southold our opinion of the above matter Ms Price is
requesting. We are vehemently against a Flea Market being held on this property. The occasional yard
sale rules provided for in the town codes should be followed in our opinion.
Our property is vacant at them moment, however our investment is important to us and should the town
grant this varience weekly Flea Markets during the warmer seasons will be not only an inconvience but
also an interruption in the peace and serenity our property enjoys at this time, therefore decreasing the
value of our investment.
From the information available to us at this time Ms Price has no fesilble plan or submited any studies
or data to support her ability to keep Love Lane the charming country lane is has always been.
Expecting Love Lane residents to deal with noise, and foot and traffic congestion each weekend of
prime weather season is in our opinion a burden we the tax payers in the town should not have to
tolerate.
Please let the record reflect we are opposed to the approval of this varience.
Thanks You for the consideration.
Ann and Chris Young

To Southold Town Zoning Board of Appeals:
With regard to Ms. Price's Request for Special Exception for her property at 730 Love Lane, Mattitock NY, I feel compelled as a
resident of Love Lane to address the pertinent history oftbe accepted legal uses already set in place as per Southnld Town's
documented decisions.
-The premises in question was granted a Special Exception variance (to Frank and Diane Ammirati, ZBA #3407, 11~26/85) to
"establish a country store selling take-out prepared foods and specialty items including a catering-service business and in conjunction
with the owners' primary single-family residence use on the second floor and separate single-family apartment use existing on the
fa'st floor".
This multi-use zoning was granted while subjected to certain conditions among which were noted (and "on motion by Mr. Goehringer,
and seconded by Mr. Sawicki"):
"Resolved, to GRANT a Special Exception use... SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
... 2. The business use granted shall be only for the selling of take-out prepared foods and specialty items including a catering service
3. The dwelling uses of the subject premises shall be reduced fi.om three to two single-family dwelling units, one on the first floor
and the other on the second floor."
The Board also made the following "findings of fact" including the "property in question is located in a "C-Light Indnst~ial' Zoning
District" during a time period where the surrounding properties were also zoned harmoniously. Surrounding properties do not all
retain that zoning at the present time. It is noted that the Board "in considering this application" in 1985 "determined that the use is in
harmony with and will promote the general purposes and intent of zoning" at a time when the northern end of Love Lane was
similarly zoned as C-Light Industrial. The current population on the northern end of Love Lane is mainly residential and was re-zoned
eliminating many C-Light Industrial zoning.
An updated Certificate of Occupancy (No. z-26922, February 10, 2000) confirms the issued use of the property for these two uses as
stated above. I would submit that the current use of the space for a sit-down restaurant is outside the scope of the exception that
Southold Town had granted in ZBA No. 3407 and would benefit from a re-examination by the board as its specific business use was a
condition oftbe Special Exception granted at the time for the second use on this property.
Ms. Price signed a questionnaire with her Z.B.A. application(received 12/23/10) that lists" the present use or operations conducted nt
this parcel" as a "retail store/2-family" and gave the proposed use as the "same plus outdoor flea market". A "retail store" does not
accurately define the current use as a sit-down restaurant.
-Application No. 4980 for the same premises (August 28, 2001) was submitted due to a "Building Inspector's Notice of Disapproval"
denying a permit for a "third use (antiques sales) requiring an additional 20,000 sq. fl. of property and a total of 60,000 sq. fl. under
Cede section 100-92." 730 Love Lane was referred to at the February 3, 2011 hearing as a substandard lot with 34,578 sq. f~. It
appears seriously deficient in square footage requirements.
The Findinus of August 28, 2001 included '"using lawn areas that total over 7,000 sq. ft. Applicant submitled a plan showing 11
parking spaces for customers of the take-out shop and the antiques business". The Board indicated it was "concerned about the
adequacy of on-site parking. For this reason, the Board will impose a condition intended to prevent participating antiques dealem from
parking on the subject property." This was done so that the "action set forth"... "will not produce an undesirable change in the
character of the neighborhood or detriment to nearby properties."
The "Resolution/Action: On motion by Member Collins, seconded by Chairman Goehringer" included:
"3. A sign shall be posted at the entrance to the property fi.om Love Lane directing cnatomem to the parking area designated as Area
"C" in the materials submitted by the applicant. Applicant shall direct the dealers displaying merchandise to park their vehicles in the
nearby public parking areas, and shall diligently work to ensure that they do not park in the Area "C' spaces.
"4· This variance authorization shall expire on September 30, 2002. Applicant is flee to apply in a timely manner for a further
authorization by this Board."
-A current request for Special Exception for a third use on the property (ZBA #6447) received comments of concern fi.om the
Planning Board Chair, Martin H. Sidor in a memo from February 1,2011. Specifically" Number of Uses & Parking" were cited.
There is an assumption that a restaurant does not operate on the premises." As you are aware, currently there is a 2 story mixed-use
building certified for retail use and apartments by a special exception (ZBA #3407) that allowed for a conntxy store (selling take out
prepared foods & catering only) and two dwelling units."
A concern for "two parking spaces are for tenants of the building and additional spaces should be designated for the retail use as well
leaving less on-site parking for the flea market use." Scaling back and limiting the amount of vendors seems to be of paramoant
concern i~ this memo. "Although there l~J~[~anicipal parking in close proximity, the flea l~/et use may add to seasonal parking &
traffic congestion." Mr. Sidor recommends reserving" the right to revoke special exception".
These are the facts of the chronological progression of the zoning and variance requests for this property. Aside from an apparent
disregard for the legally certified use for indoor retail space on this property which undoubtedly affects parking requirements for
customers in light ora third requested use of the property, the proposed use for a flea market is on a scale too large to harmoniously
exist within a primarily residential section of Love Lane.
The size of the lawn space available has jumped from 7,000 scI. fi. (August 2001) to 11,200 sq fl (Dec. 2010). A map of the property
submitted in 2001 shows a setback from Love Lane of 20 feet before proposed vendor spaces were to be set up. No setback appears on
the current proposal. The old gravel driveway shown on the property map is currently overgrown as well.
Parking for the current proposal is referred to as "for the vendors", while the temporary variance in 2001 demanded "on-site customer
parking" and all vendors parking in the municipal lot. The need for 5 parking spaces alone just for 2 owner vehicles, tenant and 2 exlra
guests greatly reduces what is logistically available for on-site parking in the current request.
The Ammiratis received the approval for a second use on this property while downsizing from 3 dwellings to 2 units, maintaining one
as a primary residence. The current owner has a notarized letter on file noting her residential address as Rockville Centre. The
Ammiratis were our neighbors, 24/7. They were invested in our neighborhood 24/7. Their request was for a use that accommodated
' the neighborhood and was respectful of the neighborhood. There was no constant parade of cars and doors slamming as their
customers parked in the lot at the back of their property. It is my understanding that the Zoning Board of Appeals adheres to criteria of
standards that considers the impact and harmony within a community. For example Code 280-143 addresses the issue of
"overcrowding and undue population."
While an evergreen buffer and fencing is an appealing start, it would appear that "less is more" as far as vendors and parking. Sundays
in residential neighborhoods are thought of as a day of relaxation and recharging for the work week. A little respect for those
neighbors would go a long way. I pemonally would have welcomed meeting my neighbors in a different manner. I didn't know who
lived there until they were identified at the hearing. A little dialogue prior to this would have been beneficial I'm sure for all involved.
There is no animosity. I only request respect for the process and allow us as citizens and neighbors to voice oar concerns in a forum
for which it is acceptable to speak up and not have fear of retribution or intimidation.
To the Board 1 would respectfully request a review of the current uses on this property and whether a third use is likely to be adhered
to as directed by the town or even be appropriate in light of the size lot and nature of oar neighborhood on the northern end of Love
Lane. If a third use is deemed appropriate I would hope the number of vendors would be greatly reduced so that parking, traffic
congestion and noise is not as disruptive as it has been in the past year on Sundays. It appears Ms. Price might have stayed under the
radar longer had she continued with only 5-8 vendors as she had prior to about a year ago, as also noted by our neighbor, Sharon
Tuthill. Also a starting time of 10 am would be more respectful of our neighborhood on a Sunday morning. We live on Love Lane
year round and love a lazy Sunday morning just like the rest of the North Fork.
Thank you,

F~EC~ED ~
MAR 3 2011
At the last'~b[ifi~o¥ fhi~ b~8~,~ere were statements made by Mrs. Margaret Ashston
which are now in the record in written form. Her statements were at best exaggerated and
specious, and at worst untrue. I feel it necessary to respond for two reasons. First there
should be another written record of rebuttal for anyone who might review these minutes
in the future. Second I simply can't allow spurious allegations to go unanswered. I'm
going to address five points. All are in answer to Mrs. Ashton's statements. The first four
are total hearsay. Only the last can be refuted with fact, and when the level of
exaggeration on this point is considered, it becomes clear how much credence should be
given to the first four.
First there is the matter of the alleged excessive noise created by the arrival of vendors in
the morning. There is absolutely no basis in truth to this allegation. Since we are expected
to take the word of an overzealous neighbor in her desire to stop something she opposes,
offering no evidence but hearsay, I contend that her description of the alleged noise is
untrue. Also, the earliest that any vendor has ever arrived was 6:45 AM, not earlier than
6:00, as untruthfully presented. I've also contacted several of the core vendors and asked
directly if they'd ever had a complaint from any neighbor. They all answered in the
negative. I can offer no better evidence than she, but my statement is truthful, hers is not.
Mrs. Ashton, with whom was this conversation had?
Second there is the issue of dog poop. In the summer many, many boaters travel with
pets. They frequently walk from the Mattituck marina into town. Obviously they must
then walk back to the marina. Since there's no sidewalk on our side of Love Lane they
usually walk on the west side of the street. There is plenty of opportunity for some
inconsiderate pet owner to fail to clean up after a dog. Contending that the people at the
sale are the cause is plain nonsense. There is no evidence to prove or disprove that, and
its even being brought up in this forum is inappropriate.
Third the suggestion that the sale produces litter is ridiculous. All the vendors are aware
that we do not have municipal trash pick up in Mattituck. All of them police their own
trash and have done so scrupulously for years. As the matter of beer cans is concerned, in
nine years I have never once witnessed a single instance of alcohol being consumed by
either vendors or customers .There is never anything left behind, and again, the allegation
is being made with absolutely no corroboration. In our revised site plan, however, note
that we've included a 30 gallon trash container. It will be placed on the lawn in the
morning and removed after the sale. We're doing this only to try to be agreeable, not
because there's any actual issue.
Fourth, if anyone should have a complaint about their driveway being used as a means of
making u-tums it should be us. People make them in our driveway seven days a week,
not just on Sundays. This is a reality of living on Love Lane. Also, for years Mrs. Ashton
ran a preschool out of her residence. There were constantly people coming and going and
I couldn't even begin to count the number making such tums in our driveway. I invite all
of you to come by and see for yourselves the damage that's been done to our lawn
because of this. I would also like to point out that there are regular deliveries made to
Mrs. Ashton's residence. The track that makes them is a ten wheeler that's likely in the
RECEIVED
MAR 2 2011
eight to ten ton range. I think a cause and e~g_3:p ~th3g th~l,xp(g~kof this truck and the
driveway damage ~s more probable than an occamonal u-turn. 'Tli~s ~s just another self
serving exaggeration with facts conveniently omitted.
Lastly, the one complaint which can be addressed with real data, not hearsay, is the issue
of the so called dangerous traffic situation posed by the sale. In this case there are records
kept. I went and filed a freedom of information request with the Southold PD. I asked for
all records of accidents on Love Lane, on Sundays, between April and October, for the
past nine years. The search produced only one accident report, and the incident occurred
on the south end of Love Lane, nowhere near our venue. I've made a copy of this lone
report for the ZBA record. There is no problem with traffic. I made it abundantly clear
that there has never been any sort of traffic related mishap or accident. Obviously I was
correct.
The apparent exaggeration about the "nightmare" traffic issue should be extrapolated to
the first four non-documentable points raised by Mrs. Ashton. Their over blown tone
should be taken for what it is; self serving and spurious!
Like it or not, Love Lane has grown as a business district and will continue to do so
regardless of the outcome of this hearing. Progress can't be stopped. If residents in the
area are incapable of seeing that, maybe it's time for them to adjust their thinking instead
of trying to keep a status quo which will inexorably change with time.
In closing I would like to commend Mrs. Sharon Tuthill for her letter to this board. She
acknowledged Mary Ann Price, and by extension myself, personally and as business
people. While she felt it necessary to express her concerns, she did so in a pointed,
thoughtful, objective, and non-confrontational manner. I'd suggest that Mrs. Ashton use
this model as a tutorial in respectful debate and neighborly behavior.

BOARD OF APPEALS
I would like to address Ms Straub's complaint that I continued to hold yard sales beyond
the one year allowed in the original variance request.
When I met with the Board back in 2001 my property was zoned Hamlet Business, not
residential business or light industrial. A flea market was an allowable use of the
property. I was renting the commercial space out at the time and the needs of that
business had to be taken into consideration.
The Board felt the flea market would be good for business on Love Lane but with no
history they felt they wanted to see it in action and make a determination. At the hearing
the board suggested a one year period of operation to then be reviewed. I received the
results of the heating with the allowance for the one year and various stipulations I had to
meet. it was never made clear how this was going to be reviewed. I had submitted all the
necessary paperwork on my end.
I wrote to the board in September 2002 to request starting the sale in 2003 as I was
unable to get vendors to participate the first season. For the next five years there were
never more than 4 or 5 vendors and many weeks 1 or 2 and sometimes none. I was
certainly not trying to hide anything and felt if the zoning board had an objection it would
be brought to my attention.
! live on Love Lane and have accepted the fact that I have deli bags and paper cups and
soda cans and candy wrappers, cigarette boxes, flyers etc that I have to pick up offmy
lawn regularly. I also have vehicles making u-turns in by driveway on a daily basis when
they can't find a parking spot down the block or have just gone too far and have to turn
around. I have had buses and cars make u-tums on the lawn.
I have now filed all the same paperwork and drawn new site plans and taken the
necessary steps with a proven history of no complaints to the town until this past
September. I do not want to cause my neighbors distress but Mrs. Ashton has blown
things out of proportion. The right thing to do would have been to bring these concerns
to my attention. Because of her actions a number of vendors who depend on this sale as a
livelihood were put out of business, t~d(q~,~

BOARD OF APPEALS
Being a resident on the North side of Love Lane, I feel obligated to voice my concerns about the current
request for Special Exception variance to the property at 730 Love Lane, Mattituck, NY. I would like to
state that the requested use of the property to be used as a Flea Market will alter the essential
character of the neighborhood.
The North side of Love Lane is primarily a residential area in nature as contrasted by the South side that
is highly commercial. The Commercial side of Love Lane is set up to be used for commercial use. There
is adequate parking, public trash receptacles, sidewalks, crosswalks, etc. that facilitates the commercial
nature.
The North side of Love Lane is simply not equipped to handle the large scale commercial operation of a
Flea Market on weekends and holidays. During the summer months, thousands of people flock to
Mattituck and the surrounding towns. This causes a lot of automobile traffic as well as pedestrian traffic.
As witnessed by me over the past two summers, when the Flea Market is in operation, the North side of
Love Lane becomes a virtual parking lot and fair ground. Cars are parked on both sides of the street and
yes sometimes blocking access to driveways. The use of my driveway in particular as a turnaround is a
constant occurrence. Pedestrians trying to walk to the Flea Market have to walk mainly in the street or
across people's property because of the lack of sidewalks on the Eastern side of Love Lane. The property
at 730 Love Lane is simply not large enough to accommodate vendor space, vendor autos and customer
parking. Thus creating a dangerous situation due to lack of adequate space.
The Flea market also causes a considerable volume of unwanted noise on Sunday. Vendors arrive as
early as 5:30 am to set up. There are doors slamming, tables being erected, tents being assembled, loud
talking and even music playing on occasion. My wife had to ask a vendor one Sunday morning to please
try to be more quiet as people were still sleeping.
Ms. Pryce may know the vendors that she is collecting a fee from, but she does not know the clientele
that visits the Flea Market. Some, not all use Love Lane like it is a parking lot and fair ground. Every
Sunday night there is litter on my property that has to be cleaned up. There were some customers hav~n~
a picnic on the property adjacent to 730 Love Lane. One visitor to the Flea Market even found it
necessary to relieve himself behind the bushes.
Based on my comments and first hand observations I ask you to take into consideration what I have
stated and witnessed. The Flea Market does in my opinion, alter the essential character of the
neighborhood and causes Love Lane to become a serious safety issue.
Sincerely,
Love I'aZn~

Dear Board Members,
This is in response to the article posted in the Suffolk Times dated
2/10/2010.
My name is Melissa Senatore and I live in Riverhead. I own an
antique/collectible shop, Tantalizing Treasures, on the Main Road in
Jamesport. I attended the Iron Skillet Antique Sale every Sunday at 8:00 as
a few early dealers were setting up their areas. I have never witnessed loud
speaking, radios blasting or any other noise fxom vehicles while I was there.
After reading the article about your last meeting in the Suffolk Times, I
recognized the name of the person against this sale. Margaret Ashton mn
her own business, a nursery school, on the north side of Love Lane, out of
her house almost 20 years ago as my son attended her school. She ran this
business for many years. I believe she also ran a business, making and
selling baked items, out of her home. She also had cars parked in fxont of
her home while running her businesses not only one day a week but for 5
days a week. I would like to also add that in my dealings with her, I felt she
was rather an abrasive person. I refused to send my other son to her school.
I loved going to the antique sale before I opened my store on Sundays. I
hope you see fit to work with the owners of the "Iron Skillet", Bob and
Mary Ann, and allow them to cont'mue this sale as it does "fit the character
of the neighborhood".
Sincerely, //~

BOARD OF APPEALS
To: The Southold Town Zoning Board of Appeals:
There are few residences on Love Lane north of the railroad tracks and
Route 48, but Southold Town believed it important enough to preserve the
residential atmosphere of this neighborhood by rezonin§ the properties
from light industrial to residential-office in the Fall of 1999. In
reviewing the Variance Standards of Town Law, it states that the Variance
request will not alter the essential character of the nei§hborhood. The
request by Price & Hartz clearly changes the character of the
nei§hborhood. Another Variance Standard requires a buffer on front, sides
and back of property requesting variance. Even if a buffer had been
provided, the essential character of the neighborhood is altered
irrevocably by continuous yard sales.
To trace the history of property requestin§ the variance at 730 Love Lane,
this property was the old Mattituck Hotel built to provide rooms for
tourist visiting the area. When I moved into 795 Love Lane in June 1969,
the 730 Love Lane property was owned by the MacMillan family. Rooms had
been combined to create about 4 apartments. Parking was available in the
back for those renting. The MacMillan family sold to the Ammirati family.
The Ammiratis obtained a permit to turn the front main floor apartment
into a food store and tiny restaurant, and later turned to catering from
this establishment. The opposite half of the main floor remained a 2 room
apartment. The second floor apartments were combined to make it a one
family home. Parking was available in the rear. They did extensive
landscaping enhancing the residential feeling of their property. The
Ammiratis sold to Price & Hartz.
I suspect that when the Ammiratis requested a variance to cover a food
store and restaurant, there was not that much to choose from in the way of
variances. Hamlet business covered it. I am now requesting that this
zoning be capped to include only the food store/restaurant with on-site
parking, not yard sales and flea markets. This is a residential
neighborhood. Possibly, Price & Hartz might consider the right to sell on
consignment a few of the antiques inside their home/business. This would
not create the bedlam they are now creating. It would not have attending
noise, create irrational driving from the gawkers, and illegal parking in
front of their neighbors' driveways, nor would it induce littering, dog
poop, and as it was once seen, a man relieving himself in bushes on the
adjacent property during the yard sale.
Town records would show that the people in Southold Town generally have
one yard sale per property per year on Saturday. There is a reason for
this. Sunday for many of its citizens is a day of worship, a day of rest
and/or a day to be spent with family. Again, this yard sale business
respects none of that for the residents of Love Lane.
I respectfully request that Zoning Board defend the rights of residential
neighborhoods.

Re: Public Hearing - Mary Ann Price #6447
To $outhold Town Zoning Board of Appeals:
I am not able to personally attend this Public Hearing for application #6447 (Mary Ann Price)
but do wish to voice my opinion on this matter.
First let me say that I am all for local business and recognize and support Miss Price's right to
earn income on her property. Miss Price has always been a good neighbor and she runs her
restaurant well.
I do believe that Miss Price has the best intentions to keep the flea market a small town
experience with quality vendors. However, I do have some concerns about what this could
potentially turn into or become in the future should ownership change, without any limitations
attached or put into place.
My main areas of concern are the following:
Operation on both weekend days (all day) when we are typically at our residence. This is
our primary residence and quite honestly a flea market with 200-300 or so customers would
not be my first choice for a neighboring business. Our residence is set back off of Love Lane
and is not as affected by the early morning noise of venders setting up as our other
neighbors could be, but we do feel the impact of the additional traffic and parking issues.
Already, we do have some issues with having our driveway partially blocked making it
difficult to pull in and out of our driveway.
Operation on a larger scale or at the proposed full capacity of 28 vendors would be a
significant increase to the regular 5-8 vendors that have typically been present this past
summer. This increase could mean a dramatic increase to noise, traffic congestion and
parking issues. I don't see any way that proper parking could be controlled or regulated
throughout the day.
Types of vendors/goods being sold. Having frequented Miss Price's Sunday sales, the
vendors have typically seemed to be individuals for whom collecting and selling antiques
and assorted one of a kind items is a hobby. I am concerned that if the sale is expanded
without some limitations, it has the potential to become more commercial and less
charming. I do enjoy shopping at local annual events such as Mattituck Sale Days and the
Lion's Club Strawberry Festival but I wouldn't want to see this turn into something of that
type.
Love Lane is a unique area in that it comprises both business and residential properties.
Unfortunately, what may be good for Love Lane businesses may not be good for Love Lane
homeowners. My concerns on this issue deal mainly with what potentially can occur by
expanding and enlarging the current situation. I appreciate the Board hearing my reservations
regarding this application and I do hope they will be taken into consideration when reviewing
and acting on this matter.
Thank You,
Sharon Tuthill
The rezoning of Love Lane, Mattituck, NY to acco~odate weekly yard sales
and/or a Flea Market is contrary to the plans made for the Northern half
of Love Lane in the Fall of 1999. The Supervisor, Jean Cochran, rezoned
several properties from light industrial to residential-office. My
property where I have resided since June 1969 at 795 Love Lane was so
rezoned. The purpose of this rezoning was supposedly to retain a
residential feeling in the Town of Southold.
I went along with this rezoning because Love Lane is a historical
location. A Flea Market or an eternal yard sale is not residential in
nature, nor can it be considered an office, nor does it conjure up the
romantic setting of a lover's lane. The location of the intended market
or sale is the old Mattituck Hotel. The squalor every Sunday is jarring
in the sight of this grand old building.
The North side of Love Lane in no way resembles the South side. It was
the Town's intention to preserve a residential, not a business atmosphere
North of the train tracks. The South side is business but should not be
allowed to sprawl out in any direction destroying the all-over
non-commercial feeling of the Town and I might add, the North Fork.
Love Lane has become a heavily travelled road connecting the double
highway with the Main Road. Traffic from the North Road often comes onto
Love Lane exceeding the posted speed limits. During the summer weekends,
the traffic is constant both ways. Added to this on a Sunday with the
"Yard Sale", vehicles are parked on both sides from Rte. 48 to the train
tracks often bring traffic down to one lane.
Getting out of our driveway has been impossible on at least 5 occasions.
At other times we have to aim carefully to not hit cars partially blocking
our driveway. And then there is the constant problem of people using our
driveway to turn around. It's a clam shell driveway. We are put to the
trouble and expense of filling it in with the excessive use.
Sundays on Love Lane have been destroyed by the "Yard Sales". Because
windows are open in the sun~ertime and thanks to the vendors' arrival
before 6AM, vans parking, vendors calling to one another, and a steady
irritating level of the noise setting up, sleep is impossible. The noise
continues all day. The nosey folks walk into our yards. One family had a
picnic where the residents weren't home.
Come Sunday evening we have the task of cleaning up after the "yard Sale"
folks who litter with abandon: beer cans, soda cans, coffee cups,
wrappers, and, yes, the dog poop.
Love Lane is also the walkway from the docks to town for our Boating
visitors. It is inevitable that a collision or pedestrian will be injured
in this whole melee if all this continues.
Our "Yard Sale" neighbors have had complaints. We complained directly to
t-~4~m~. Obviously they did not bring this to your attention.
I would suggest that our neighbors be allowed one yard sale a year like
everyone else in this town. Either that or let everyone get in on the
act.
A very bad precedent is being set here. This is not the place for weekly
yard sales, or a Flea Market. Unpopulated large empty lots, or shopping
mall parking lots are usual venues for such things. This has been a
nightmare.
