IING BOARD OF A~PPEALS
By this appeal, appellant seeks permission to construct
approximately 180 feet in length of six-foot high fenc-
ing on the westerly property line abutting the private road.
Applicant has stated that he needs the fencing over four feet
high (four feet is permitted by the zoning code) for privacy
from vehicles parked on the dead-end road. Applicant has not
set forth for the record practical difficulties, nor has the
burden of proof for economic injury, effect of variance on
the character of the neighborhood, or uniqueness been shown.
In viewing the properties in the neighborhood, the board has
found that fences that have been constructed are not in excess
of four feet high. It is the opinion of the board that the
granting of the relief requested would not substantiate justi-
fication therefor.
In considering this appeal, the board determines that the
variance request is substantial in relation to the code require-
ments; that the circumstances herein are not unique; that by
allowing the variance a detriment to adjoining properties would
be created; that the difficulty can be obviated by a method,
feasible to appellant, other than a variance; that the relief
requested will not be in harmony with or promote the general
purposes of zoning; and that the interests of justice will not
be served by allowing the variance.
On motion by Mr. Doyen, seconded by Mr. Douglass, it was
RESOLVED, to deny the application of Joseph D. Posillico,
Sr. as applied for in Appeal No. 2938.
Location of Property: 3605 Camp Mineola Road, Mattituck,
NY; bounded north by Corwin; east by McMahon; south by the bay;

Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Goehringer, Grigonis,

(by Richard F. Lark, Esq.) for Variances to: (a) the Zoning
Ordinance, Art. III, Sec. 100-31, and Art. XI, Sec. lO0-118E
for permission to construct new dwelling with insufficient front
and rear yards; and (b) New York Town Law, Sec. 280-a for approval
of access. Location of property: Camp Mineola Road (a/k/a Reeve
Avenue), Mattituck, NY; bounded north by Corwin; west by Private
Road and Corwin; south by Bay; east by McMahon;. County Tax Map
Item No. 1000-123-6-12.4.
After investigation and personal inspection, ~he Board finds
as follows:
Appellant has appealed to this Board seeking a variance for
permission to construct a one-family dwelling with a setback from
the westerly property line of 10 feet and from the easterly property
line of 15 feet. The premises in question is approximately 90 feet
in depth and an average of 200 feet in length. Existing on the
premises is a one-story framed bungalow, which applicant intends to
remove entirely, and which is presently approximately three feet
from the westerly property line. Upon inspecting the general area,
the Board finds many of the existing dwellings to have substantial
insufficient frontyard and sideyard setbacks and that the granting
of insufficient setbacks in the front and rear yard areas would not
change the character of the district.
The Board finds that the relief requested in relation to
the Code requirements is not substantial; that if the variance
is granted no substantial detriment to adjoining properties will
be created; that no adverse effect is produced on available
governmental facilities of any increased population; that no
substantial change is produced in the character of the neighbor-
hood; and that the interests of justice will be served by grant-
ing the variance with certain conditions, specified below.
On motion by Mr. Goehringer, seconded by Mr. Douglass, it
was
RESOLVED, that Joseph D. Posillico, Sr. be granted a vari-
ance to the zoning ordinance, Art. III, Sec. 100-31 and Art. XI,
Sec. lO0-118E for permission to constYuct dwelling SUBJECT TO
THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS, and be granted approval of access:
(1)
That the dwelling not be constructed closer than 17½ feet
to the westerly property line [frontyard line], and that
the dwelling not be constructed closer than 17½ feet to
the easterly property line [rearyard area];
(2)
That the dwelling be constructed so that it does not
protrude forward towards the Bay [south] of the easterly
neighbor's existing dwelling;
(3) That compliance be met of the regulations of the Flood
Damage Prevention Law of the Town of Southold.

PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal No. 2773. Application of Joseph D.
Posillico, Sr., Hemlock Drive, Farmingdale, NY 11735 (by Richard F.
Lark, Esq.) for Variances to: (1) the Zoning Ordinance, Art. III,
Sec. 100-31 and Art. XI, Sec. lO0-118E for permission to construct
new dwelling with insufficient front and rear yards;-and (2) New
York Town Law Section 280-A for approval of access. Location of
property: Camp Mineola Road (a/k/a Reeve Avenue), Mattituck, NY;
bounded north by Corwin; west by Private Road and Corwin; south by
Bay; east by McMahon; County Tax Map ID No. 1000-123-6-12.4.
The Chairman opened the hearing at 8:50 p.m. by reading the
appeal application in its entirety, legal notice of hearing and affi-
davits attesting to its publication in the local and official news-
papers, Notice of Disapproval from the Building Inspector, and letter
from the Town Clerk that notification to adjoining property owners was
made; fee paid $15.00.
MR. CHAIRMAN: We have a survey of the property showing the
present building and showing the proposed location of the new dwelling,
and a section of the County Tax Map showing this property and the
property in the surrounding areas. Is there anyone to speak in favor
of this application or add to it?
RICHARD LARK, ESQ.: Speaking on behalf of Mr. Posillico,
Richard Lark, Main Road, Cutchogue, New York. As indicated in the
application I do represent Mr. Posillico, who couldn't be here tonight.
He's on vacation. The application is three-fold; one to review the
determination of the building inspector, which is going to become a
legal issue that you'll have to decide. The second one is the factual
issue on granting a sideyard variance, which is practical difficulties
under the zoning ordinance. And then the third one is granting access
under 280-A of the Town Law's--as indicated hasn't been done. As for
the first one, when Mr. Posillico decided to become interested and buy
this property, he wanted to purchase it but he wanted to knock down
the existing house, which I think the Board has seen that's on there
and build a modern structure that would be more in keeping with his
needs. And originally he thought he would just knock down the struc-
ture that's there and build right where it's in its place. And I
approached the building inspector to find out what we would have to
comply with to update the house in that fashion. You know, knock it
down, and put in a foundation and build a new one in the same spot.
And it was the building inspector's recommendation rather ironic that
the house be moved back so it would conform with the existing shall
we say "setback lines" off the Bay with the other houses that were
generally on both sides. You know, to keep it somewhat in the same
vain, because this house as it presently stood owned by Miss Detner
was a little closer to the bulkhead and he thought that that would be
best, especially considering the flood plain laws and the other laws
~ Southold Town Board of Appeals

(Mr. Lark continued):
that have now been, environmental laws that have come on, that you
need certain heights and so on and so forth; and as it turned out
when the survey was done, there was enough height, 7 or 8 feet, where
if you moved it back about 25 or 20 feet it would be in conformance.
So, you said initially that that would have to be done. But
then after it was decided to move it back, he was very candid, he said,
"you would have to get a sideyard variance if you do that because I'm
going to view what you consider your frontyard--your sideyard as the
frontyard, and therefore you're going to need a variance." He says,
"I realize that you're going to build the house facing the Bay, but
technically the way the lot is laid out by the Planning Board," and
since this did receive Planning Board approval -- we have a copy of
the Planning Board map there--so we don't get into the size of the lot
question, because it did have an existing house on it-- he says, "I'm
going to view that as being your frontyard and therefore you're going
to have to get a variance for that." And that after we applied for a
building permit to move it back to start the chain of events to come
before the Board for the sideyard variance, he came up with the fact
that this was really a nonconforming use, and he got hung up on that,
and that's why he issued the Notice of Disapproval. And when you read
the zoning ordinance, and I checked into this quite a bit, under
nonconforming use, was that section that he quotes there, lO0-118E,
that only applies where the use is not compatible with the zoning
district. Here we have an A-Residential zone which the use is resi-
dential. And nonconforming use is defined in our statute as any
use whether of a building, tract of land, or both, existing on the
effective date of this chapter, and here are the key words, "which
does not conform to the use regulations of the district in which it
is located." So my first point, as I say and a legal one that you'll
have to check with the Town Attorney on, is that this is not in any
way, shape or form.with the use variance application, nor does Section
lO0-118 in any way apply. Because the use has always been conforming;
it is now. The old house is still there and the proposed new house
would be the same -- A Residential. So if you would review that with
the attorney, I trust that you will find that I'm correct on my
analysis of the law on that point.
Now I won't burden the record with the application portion for
the sideyard variance. I think you can see the lot width there is
according to the survey which you have, is approximately for the pur-
poses of this discussion about 90 feet. Now what makes this lot
different from the other lots surrounding it is this one faces on
the right--only on one right-of-way; that's the one running north
and south as you see on Exhibit A. So the building inspector con-
strues that as the frontyard, and it would be impossible under our
zoning to locate any kind of house there with a 50-yard, frontyard,
and a 50-yard rearyard when you only have 90-feet to begin with, ok?
But he also recognizes that all the houses in the neighborhood are
facing, you know, towards the Bay, the ones that have the bayfront

-14-

(Mr. Lark continued):
property.
So as for the practical matter, the frontyard as most of them
is facing the Bay and the rear, either towards their access areas as
to the properties to both the east and the west have a right-of-way
that they can obtain access. But this is the only right-of-way that
runs north and south there, which the petitioner will have. So the
request then is to, if you will, technically under the zoning ordi-
nance, to get a frontyard variance to locate his house within as
shown there, approximately 10 feet from the right-of-way, which should
give sufficient space to the neighbor on the other side of the right-
of-way to the west, and then it would leave 15 feet to the neighbor on
the east. And under the half-acre concept that we had before we went
to acre, that was the normal sideyard, 10 and 15, both of them 25.
So it would be compatible with precedence on that nature.
And by moving it back rather than building on the same spot, it
would conform to the existing flood plain regulations that we have and
so on and so forth because: (a) we got a bulkheaded property and (b
the elevation in that area as you can see on the map where the survey
has located it runs approximately eight feet, a little bit better in
some and then it goes down in the back. Ok.
So that's a practical difficulty which is being requested for
the sideyard, and as I indicated when the building inspector then
issued the determination disapproving the relocation of the house, it
was his opinion that no one, in spite of all the houses that are in
that neighborhood, I found it hard to believe, ever got approval of
Camp Mineola Road from the Board of Appeals. So again the third phase
of the application is a clean-up, is to get approval. That road as I
have indicated, in other neighbor's presence, has been here for many,
many years. Apparently it doesn't have any official sanction and it
only can come from one party, or one Board, under the Town Law and
that's the Board of Appeals. So that's the third phase of the appli-
cation.
I think, as I said, the first one is a legal question which
you'll have to get an interpretation from the attorney, and the second
one is in your province on practical difficulties using the criteria
of how substantial the request is. Again, it's an existing house, the
Planning Board gave approval for the lot with the house as it was
because that was nonconforming as to area and not as to use, and as
to sideyards and rearyard, it was there many years prior to the zoning
ordinance. So when they divided that property up into four lots as
you have on Exhibit B there, the house was down there. There will be
no increase in the density population as indicated; it's still going
to remain a one-family use. So it will still be the same. And there
will be no change in the character of the neighborhood. In fact it
should be an upgrading because the house there was, 'really the whole
reason we're here, Mr. Posillico found it would cost far too much for
what it was worth in relationship to the property, to try to renovate
the existing house, and as I say, there were all kinds of games that could
Southold Town Board of Appeals -15- January 22, 1981
(Mr. Lark continued):
be played as you build the house around the existing house and
then he wouldn't have to come here, but the cost of doing that
when you get into the Code requirements as to the electricity,
the plumbing and things of that nature, that was not only feasible,
he wasn't kidding anybody by doing that. So that's why he wanted
to tear down the old structure rather than even try to move it.
His builder told him that he couldn't even move the structure.
It didn't warrant it. It wasn't substantial enough with its
underpinnings.
And I don't believe there will be any substantial detriment
to the adjoining properties created, because again it's a one-family
situation moving it back with the existing setbacks that the houses
enjoy on the creek; and with all the factors taken into consideration
I respectfully request that you grant the area variance for a front-
yard--here as requested, and that you give consideration under 280-A
to the access, not only to that lot but to all the lots till it gets
to the nearest public road in the neighborhood, and then to give me
a legal review as to the Building Inspector's determination--this is
a nonconforming use. Thank you.
MEMBER GOEHRINGER: Is there any reason why you selected the
west side, actually the frontyard in this particular case, to be set
off at l0 feet rather than the east side of the--
MR. LARK: No, it could go the other way. That was kind of,
you might say, arbitrary. Probably on my part after talking with
Mr. Fisher intially, as I say it's my neck to the Building Department
here, because the other house to the east is almost virtually right
on the property line as you see on the drawing there on Exhibit A, on
the survey. And by putting it 15 feet off of that one would create
a little wider separation between two adjacent dwellings and it was
felt by, you wouldn't gain anything by moving that five and making
the other 15. Another consideration was, that the driveway to the
house would be further north on that right-of-way, in order words
it's not contemplated that that right-of-way become improved all the
way down the actual-- as you see the jog out in the house, in the
back, in that area, would be where the garage entrance, the driveway
would be. And so it was felt by, if you had a choice whether to put.
that 10 or 15 feet, that was the reason for it. It was primarily
the house separation in the back, and then you were right on the
existing right-of-way. In other words that right-of-way is a dead-end
there. It's not going anywhere. You know, as a thoroughfare. I
thought of that originally, maybe we should be 15 feet back off of
it--after viewing the property and going down there and looking at
it, it was basically my advice to Mr. Posillico to move it a little
bit further east. The Building Inspector thought that was a good
choice considering the two things.
MEMBER GOEHRINGER: Is there also, do you have any idea or
does your applicant have any idea how heavily trafficvthat right-of-
way is in the summertime? ~
Southold Town Board of Appeals -16- January 22, 1981
MR. LARK: I imagine it would be quite heavily, you mean,
the end of the old road itself?
MEMBER GOEHRINGER: Right. The end of it.
MR. LARK: It's basically, there's now a number of yearround
homes in there, but I suppose the population would probably double
or better than that in the summer. It would be much more activity
in the summer. There's no question about that. But again there
will be no increase in density--it will still be one family for the
lot.
MEMBER GOEHRINGER: Thank you.
MEMBER DOUGLASS: Isn't that right-o'f-way still in dispute
over who has a right over the top of it?
MR. LARK: As to the northerly portions of it when it runs
out, I understand there is some dispute. But as to this area here,
I don't believe there is any. This property as I understood it
came out of the Howell family, and they clearly had the -- he owned
the whole thing at one time. I don't think there's been any dispute
as to this property using it, but I know there is a dispute as you
go further north on it and in fact some portions of it aren't used
at all, or very little have used it to go directly north and they
take the spur--I believe it's Pray Ave-- Kraus Road, that's what it
is.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Kraus Road.
MR. LARK: But I know that portion of it has been a big
bone of contention for some time. But down in this area I don't
think so, as to these owners on this particular property when it
was subdivided.
MEMBER DOUGLASS: Thank you.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Any other questions? Is there anyway that
man would consider maybe shortening the house a few feet?
MR. LARK: Yes. He's not married to that particular plan at
all, and in fact when I talked to him, I have a, I guess you!d call
it-- I'll talk into the microphone like you want me to-- like a
builder's sketch, and it wasn't submitted as part of it because he
wasn't really going to be married to it. This shows if I can show
the Board just what he had in mind, if anybody else wants to look
at it. But as I indicated he's not married to this particular one,
and in fact as a practical matter I believe he is going to shorten
it up, because this didn't work out exactly the way he wanted. What
he calls here his rear elevation would face the Bay, this would be
the general layout, where he would have a deck. In other words we're~
looking if you were standing in the water looking north that way.
And that's the--that would be the floor plan layout there, the second
sheet there, and then the first sheet if you were to stand on the
north of the property and look to the south, as I indicated to you
Southold Town
of Appeals
-17- January 22, 1981
(Mr. Lark continued):
the garage area would be over in that area, and he wasn't exactly
married to the actual dimensions of the length of the house, but
that was the general schematic that his builder, Mr. Pontino, had
come up with, and as I say he was thinking when he talked to me
of shortening up some of these rooms and over in this area, over
in here, which would would by necessity shorten up the house a
little bit.
MEMBER DOUGLASS: That would give you more frontyard, what-
ever you want to call it there.
MR. LARK: Yeah. Whatever way you want to look at it, yeah.
That was what the builder had come up with with the architect when
they looked at the property. After Mr. Posillico looked at it for
what he wanted for his use, he says, "I don't need all that space."
And he wanted to condense it because he wanted to make one common
deck because the way that was going to be you'd have like two decks,
and he wanted to be able to go out from the kitchen and from the
bedroom area, you know, using the Bay as the back drop as a front-
yard area. It has one deck, so he could squeeze together that
easterly portion, make it shorter in other words--the house. But
I was generally what was envisioned, that type of layout.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Actually this here sketch would, if this
were into scaling, would show the house at about 65 feet.
MR. LARK: Sixty-four I think is what came up for the answer.
(The Board members reviewed the floor plans brought by Mr.
Lark, and then the plans were returned to Mr. Lark.)
UNKNOWN GENTLEMEN: May we look at the plans?
MR. CHAIRMAN: Yes.
MR. CORWIN: Here on the side on the scale, the side showing
30 feet. That would leave 65 using that scale.
MEMBER DOUGLASS: It's 30 in here plus this little kick-out.
MR. DENERI: The plans shows 34 here, 42 here, and 65 this
way.
(At this time several persons were speaking at one time
and the conversations were not clear.)
SECRETARY: May I have your name, please?
MR. DENERI: D-e-n-e-r-i. I'm here to speak--
MR. LARK: That's why that wasn't presented as an exhibit,
that was just made for the architect and the builder.

MR. LARK: As I say, he indicated to me that it was too
long for his purposes--for living purposes, because he thought
that, it's just he and his wife now and then the grandchildren
will be visiting, he says, "I don't need as this space." Ok?
But that's generally what he had in mind. Ok?
MR. CHAIRMAN: Thanks, Dick. You seem to always come up
with accesses nobody has record of--the Gajeski thing where for
years we thought it was a town road.
MR. LARK: I couldn't believe that--because he's issued
many, many building permits there. (A gentleman from the
audience asked Mr. Lark a question, which was not clear because
it was not through the direction of the chairman.)
MR. CHAIRMAN: Is there anybody else wishing to speak for
this? (Negative). Is there anyone here to speak against this?
RICHMOND CORWIN, JR.: My name is Richmond Corwin, Jr. I
am the owner of the right-of-way that's in question to the west,
and the property that is to the west of that right-of-way. As a
point of information on that right-of-way, the parcel that's in
question here has right to Camp Mineola Road from that right-of-way
to that parcel, not to the Bay. There is a restrictive clause on
that. They have the right to enter off of the right'of-way onto
that parcel, and that's the extent of their right--not to the Bay
or anything of that nature. Speaking from the general view and
having read the application--coming down and having read the appli-
cation, there were a number of questions that I looked at and
felt were in error. One on the Environmental Conservation ques-
tionnaire concerning the bulkhead that the bulkhead is in good
condition. It does not take a marine engineer that that bulkhead
is not in good condition. The EAF form on question 8, will the
project have a major effect on the visual character of the com-
munity or scenic views that known to be of importance to the
community. Again, looking at the community as it has been struc-
tured both in the older buildings and the newer buildings you
will find that this house far exceeds the norm for the area as
far as size, both in width and length, and as--I'm now speaking
for my wife who is the owner of the parcel due north, a house of
this size taking up that much of the width of the property as is
so constructed or proposed to be constructed would have a
delusory effect on the value of the property to the north as
far as having the view of the water. These are purely subjective
observations, but I would like to be on record as having stated
them.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Thank you. Is there anyone else?
CHARLES HUMMELL: My name is Charles Hummell; t live directly

(Mr. Hummell continued):
north of the proposed building that you're speaking of. I just want
to say that I put my life-savings into my home, and I built my home
because it had a beautiful view of the Bay. Now from the proceedings
I see here, that view is going to be taken away. Now if everyone
here was in my position for just one minute and thought how hard I
worked for my money to put up this house because of the view that we
see, and now that everything is going to be lost, so. Thank you.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Thank you, Mr. Hummell.
EUGENE DENERI: My name is Eugene Deneri. I live two houses
east of this plot that we're talking about, but I'm here to speak
for a Mrs. McMann who lives in the plot right next to the proposed
Posillico plot. I've lived in Camp Mineola for, it's going on 14
years I've owned by house. Prior to that I've been coming there
since before World War II. I know every house on the beach. There
isn't a house on the beach that is the size that this house is
being proposed at. About the widest house on the beach starting
at the Norris property, that is Bruce Norris' property and going
west to James Creek, the widest house facing the beach and there
are approximately 25 houses facing the beach, is 48 feet wide and
it's on at least a 95-foot plot or a lO0-foot plot. The rest of
the houses average somewhere below 30 feet on plots going anywhere
from 50 feet to 95 to 100 feet. I think the plan for this house
at 60, 65, 64 feet is excessive for that size plot of ground. It
will, one thing for Mrs. McMann, shut out every bit of daylight
that comes into her house for a good 65-70% of the day, this is
it being built on the west side of her house, it will make a
narrow tunnel between the two houses that Mr. Hummell, if he gets
into the right room of his house may be able to see below water-
front. I just can't understand why they want to build a house at
least sprawled out that wide. There must be another way to build
the house--turn it around sideways or make a two-story house out
of it. All of this is feasible and plausible. There are other
two story houses along the beach in either direction. On top of
it all, I have to agree with Mr. Corwin, the bulkhead's in bad
shape--it's lowest than my bulkhead is 55 feet away, and when we
get a bad storm, the back end of her property is lower than the
front end of the property at the bulkhead and the backyard floods.
Mow does Mr. Posillico plan to fill in the backyard? Is that
going to be permitted? Because if that is permitted, then the
properties on either side of that plot of ground, the smallest
one around it incidentally are going to be overflowed because his
property will be higher than everyone else's. The terrain naturally
runs downhill westerly towards James Creek. Nobody's objecting to
Mr. Posillico or anybody else building a house there. We would love
to have a fulltime neighbor there. But we'd like to have a house
that conforms with the rest of the neighborhood.
We're not mad at him because he wants to build a 65-foot wide
Southold Town Board of Appeals -20- January 22, 1981
house, but I wouldn't do it on a 95-foot plot of ground. I can't
understand why he wants to do it. I don't think it makes any sense.
It is going to just make the place look like parts of the world most
of us, except natives, escaped from a long time ago. This is what
we're trying to avoid; we just don't want to see another condition
where you have an alley-way between houses barely wide enough for
people to fit through. And 15 feet isn't really a devil of a lot of
room. Now my house was built in about 1925. I have at least 20
feet on my west side and much more on my east side. The McMahon
house was built shortly after mine or maybe at the same time as mine;
it's built almost on the property line--there's no two ways about it.
I just can't-- I think the big bone of contention here is the
width of that house, the size of that house. If he were planning
a different kind of house, none of these questions would be before
the Board of Appeals right now because there wouldn't be any need
for them. It's because he wants to put a house on it that doesn't
first of all conform to anything else in the neighborhood, and does-
n't conform sideyard-wise, or front or back-wise, however we're
going to call this, because this is kind of peculiar change of events.
My frontyard faces north, but I get taxed from the south, because
it faces the Bay.
This is our objection, this is what we want you to take into
consideration, that the house is much too large for the plot of
ground. It really is postage stamp with the size of the house
that Mr. Posillico wants to put on the piece of property.
The other thing is I may have misunderstood Mr. Lark, but I
understood that the jet-back in the house on one of the plans there
may be the garage that would be right in McMahon's bedroom window.
I don't think I'd like to have that in my bedroom window. We come
out here for the peace and quiet.
So please, give some consideration to the size of the house
to the size of the plot. That's the problem. It's much too large
for the size of the plot. Thank you.
· MR. CHAIRMAN: Thank you. Is there anyone else? Do you have
any questions you-would like to'ask? I'll'offer a resolution closing
the hearing and reserving decision until we can check it and maybe,
like Mr. Lark, there's a possibility the man may be changing his
house around a little bit somewhere or way, along the way.
MR. LARK: Before you vote on your motion to adjourn, the ques-
tions before the Board is zoning here. We don't have an architectural
review committee in here. Eight-hundred fifty square feet is the
minimum, and I think this is house is only 1300 or 1400. But that's
not the issue here. The issue here is under the zoning, and the
zoning is the sideyard and the practical difficulties on the sideyard,
number one, ten feet off the right-of-way. I don't want to get all
hung up on vistas or anything like that because that's not what we're
here for. Maybe we should pass another ordinance, like we don't have
enough of them. Like communities have, an arch, itectural review as to
Southold Town Boa
f Appeals -21- January 22, 1981
(Mr. Lark continued):
what can go there. But that's not the purpose that we're here.
MEMBER GOEHRINGER: Just a point in passing, I think the house
is in excess of 1800 square feet.
MR. LARK: I'm not talking--it was exclusive of the garage area,
which you don't include for --
MR. CHAIRMAN: Living quarters.
MR, LARK: Yeah, right.
MR. CHAIRMAN: I make the motion to close the hearing and reserve
decision.
MEMBER GOEHRINGER: Seconded.
MR. DENERI: The only thing that I wanted to direct was the
eluding to 1300 square feet. The garage is only 400 square feet.
It's 20 by 20, roughly speaking 400 square feet, and my calculations
come to 2200 square feet including the garage. Take 400 off that
it's an 1800 square-foot house, not 1350.
MEMBER GOEHRINGER: When we calculated Mr. Deneri, we calculated
approximately 2300 square feet.
MR. DENERI: I was agreeing with you. Just not agreeing with
Mr. Lark.
MEMBER GOEHRINGER: I think we're aware of that, you know, and
that it's going into the record.
MR. CHAIRMAN: There's been a second on it. Thank you very much
for coming in.
On motion by Mr. Grigonis, seconded by Mr. Goehringer, it was
RESOLVED, to close the hearing and reserve decision in the
matter of Joseph D. Posillico, Sr., Appeal No. 2773.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Grigonis, Doyen, Douglass,
Goehringer and Sawicki.

ZONING BOARD OF APPEAL~
After investigation and personal inspection, the Board finds
as follows:
Appellant has appealed to this Board seeking a variance for
permission to construct a one-family dwelling with a setback from
the westerly property line of l0 feet and from the easterly property
line of 15 feet. The premises in question is approximately 90 feet
in depth and an average of 200 feet in length. Existing on the
premises is a one-story framed bungalow, which applicant intends to
remove entirely, and which is presently approximately three feet
from the westerly property line. Upon inspecting the general area,
the Board finds many of the existing dwellings to have substantial
insufficient frontyard and sideyard setbacks and that the granting
of insufficient setbacks in the front and rear yard areas would not
change the character of the district.
The Board finds that the relief requested in relation to
the Code requirements is not substantial; that if the variance
is granted no substantial detriment to adjoining properties will
be created; that no adverse effect is produced on available
governmental facilities of any increased population; that no
substantial change is produced in the character of the neighbor-
hood; and that the interests of justice will be served by grant-
ing the variance with certain conditions, specified below.
On motion by Mr. Goehringer, seconded by Mr. Douglass, it
was
RESOLVED, that Joseph D. Posillico, Sr. be granted a vari-
ance to the zoning ordinance, Art. III, Sec. 100-31 and Art. XI,
Sec. lO0-118E for permission to construct dwelling SUBJECT TO
THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS, and be 9ranted approval of access:
(1)
That the dwelling not be constructed closer than 17~ feet
to the westerly property line [frontyard line], and that
the dwelling not be constructed closer than 17~ feet to
the easterly property line [rearyard area];
That the dwelling be constructed so that it does not
protrude forward towards the Bay [south] of the easterly
neighbor's existing dwelling;
(3) That compliance be met of the regulations of the Flood
Damage Prevention Law f the Town of Southold.
Location of property: Camp Mineola Road (a/k/a Reeve Avenue),
Mattituck, NY; bounded north by Corwin; west by Private Road and
Corwin; south by Bay; east by McMahon; County Tax Map Item No.
