Southold Town Board of Appeals
April 24, 1975
A special meeting of the Southold Town Board of Appeals
was held at 11:30 A.M. (E.D.S.T.), Thursday, April 24, 1975,
at the Town Office, Main Road, Southold, New York.
There were present: Messrs: Robert W. Gillispie, Jr.~
Chairman; Robert Bergen; Charles Grigonis, Jr.; Fred Hulse, Jr.;
This special meeting was called for the purpose of making
a decision on Appeal No.1997~ Barbara Philipp, Pautipaug bane,
North Franklin, Connecticut for a variance in accordance with
the Zoning Ordinance, Article III, Section 100-30 and'Bulk
Schedule for permission to divide lot with insufficient area.
Location of property: E/S Reservoir Road, Fishers Island, New
York, bounded on the north by W. May and Reservoir Road; east
by W. May and Wilmerding; south by K. Peterson; west by
Reservoir Road.
The public hearing on this appeal was held a~t 8:15 P.M.,
Thursday, February 27, 1975. Decision was postponed at that
meeting until 7:30 P.M., Thursday, April 10, 1975, at which
time it was resolved to be further postponed until 11:30 A.M.
Thursday, April 24, 1975. Sixty (60) days is the maximum
that the Board may postpone a decision. It was feZt-~that it
would be in the best interest of the entire area to postpone
~ Southold Town Bo_~d of Appeals -2- ~ April 24, 1975
decision for the maximum length of time in order to give
Mr. Wm. May ample opportunity to try to purchase, the property
and eliminate the problem.
THE CHAIRMAN: We have not received any further
correspond~ence or notice from Mr. May that he has been
able to purchase. It is our understanding that he has
not been able to purchase the property. This has been
discussed with Town Counsel to be sure of what we can
or cannot do.
After investigation and inspection the Board finds that
the applicant is requesting permission to divide prDp~rty
and set off lot with insufficient area. Objections have
been registered centered on possible obstruction of the
view of adjoining residents as wellsas so called down grading
of the lot size required in residential areas. However, the
Board finds that increasing the size of the 50' x 50' tower
plot would in fact up grade the neighborhood because of the
possibility of using the tower on its present site~if the lot
were not increased.
The Board finds that strict application of the Ordinance
would produCe practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship;
the hardship created is unique and would not be shared by all
properties alike in the immediate vicinity of this property
and in the same use district; and the variance will not change
the character of the neighborhood, and will observe the spirit
of the Ordinance.
On motion by Mr. Gillisp±e, seconded by Mr. Hulse, it was
RESOLVED Barbara Philipps, Pautipaug Lane, North Franklin,
Connecticut be GRANTED permission to divide lot with insufficient
area as applied for on property located at E/S Reservoir Road,
Fishers Island, New York, bubject th the following conditions:
(1) that permission is granted to convey the .58 acre
portion of ths applicants property to the owners
of the 50' x 50' tower site.
(2)
the Zoning Ordinance.
~3) ~he tower may not be incorporated into any new
residential construction on the property.
Vote of the Board: Ayes:- Messrs: Gillispie, Bergen,
Grigonis, Hulse.

(1)
The line of division for the easterly lot to be
created shall be 138 feet from the N/E corner;
and 143 feetrfrom the S/E~oorner. In other words,
the westerly line of the lot shall start at a

the S/E corner, as shown on Van Tuyl survey
