(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. ~ ~ ~Southold Town BoarTd of Appeals -3- April 24, 1.975 The Board inspected their action of April 10, 1975 which they made on Appeal No. 2016, Loraine Strohmeyer.
