MICHAEL PHILLIPS #-6500 - Request for Variances from Art. XXII Section 280-116A(1) and the
Building Inspector's June 16,2011 Notice of Disapproval based on an application for building permit to
demolish and construct a new dwelling and accessory In Ground swimming pool, at; 1) less than 100
foot setback from top of bluff for the dwelling and accessory swimming pool, located at: 1000 Sound
Drive (adj. to Long Island Sound) Greenport, NY. SCTM#1000-33-4-3
The proposed action has been reviewed to Chapter 268, Waterfront Consistency Review of the Town of
Southold Town Code and the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) Policy Standards.
Based upon the information provided on the LWRP Consistency Assessment Form submitted to this
department, as well as the records available to me, it is my recommendation that the proposed action is
CONSISTENT with the LWRP review provided the following best management practices are required:
If the action is approved to further Policy 5: Protect and Improve Water Quality in the Town of Southold
and Policy 6; Protect and Restore the Quality and Function of the Town of Southold Ecosystem it is
recommended that a landscaped buffer be required landward of the top of bluff includin,q the
entire Coastal Erosion Hazard Area.
LANDSCAPED BUFFER -- A land area of a certain length and width which is planted with indigenous,
drought-tolerant vegetation similar to that found within the immediate proximity of the parcel. Vegetation
shall be installed in sufficient densities to achieve 95% ground cover within two years of installation.
Survival of planted vegetation shall be 90% for a period of three years. Maintenance activities within the
buffer are limited to removing vegetation which is hazardous to life and property, trimming tree limbs up
to a height of 15 feet to maintain viewsheds, replanting of vegetation and establishing a four-foot-wide
access path constructed of pervious material for access to the water body. [Added 12-15-2009 by L.L.
No. 15-2009]
Relocate dry- wells to landward of the proposed residence.
Pursuant to Chapter 268, the Board of Trustees shall consider this recommendation in preparing its
written determination regarding the consistency of the proposed action.

The granting of the requested relief from §280-116(A)(1) for the proposed swimming pool and
dwelling located less than 100 feet from the bluff crest will not have an adverse impact on
neighboring properties or the character of the community, as the developed shoreline community
along Sound Drive is characterized by numerous two-story dwellings and several swimming pools
located nonconforming distances less than 100 feet from the bluff crest. The immediately adjacent
property to the west, for example, has a dwelling located approximately 35 to 45 feet from the
bluff and a swimming pool located between 20 and 30 feet from the bluff. The proposed dwelling
and pool will not only be set significantly farther back from the bluff than those located on the
adjoining property, they will be set hack farther from the bluff than those already existing on the
subject property. Specifically, there presently exists on the Phillips parcel a dwelling located 65.5
feet from the bluff and a swimming pool located 37.6 feet from the bluff. In contrast, the new
dwelling would be located 82.3 feet from the bluff, a 16.8' increase in bluff setback; and the new
pool would be located 65 feet from the bluff, a 27.4' increase in bluff setback. These setbacks
would be consistent with (in the case of the pool) or exceed (in the case of the dwelling) the
setbacks approved by the Board of Appeals in Decisions 5523 and 5730, which in 2004 and 2005,
respectively, granted Peter and Arlene Manos the relief necessary to locate a new swimming pool
and house expansion 65 feet from the bluff on the property located 8 properties to the west. The
area (and thus lot coverage) of both structures would also be decreased by the proposed design, the
pool by almost 54 square feet and the dwelling footprint by approximately 682 square feet, a
greater than 20 percent decrease in the existing dwelling footprint. Total lot coverage would thus
decrease by approximately 745 square feet or more than 3 percent to 13.84 percent of buildable
land. Demolition of the existing dwelling and construction of the proposed dwelling would also
result in the complete elimination of two zoning nonconformities, namely the preexisting
nonconforming minimum and total side yards of 10' and 21', which are to be replaced with
conforming minimum and total side yards of 15' and 35', respectively. Therefore, granting the
requested relief not only would have no adveme impact on the neighboring properties or
community character, it would resuR in a substantial decrease in the property's overall degree of
nonconformity.
The benefit sought by the applicant is the construction of a new two-story dwelling on the property
in place of an aging one-story such that the views of Long Island Sound afforded by the property
are not lost from the new dwelling. Although the swimming pool is completely functional and
could be left in place and the dwelling could be renovated In place and expanded, doing so would
create the need for more extensive variance relief and a higher degree of bluff setback
nonconformity than is required or would be created by the proposed site design. The only
dwelling reconstruction alternative that would not require variance relief would be setting the
dwelling an additional 18 feet closer to the road, which would cause the loss in views sought to be
avoided due to the location of the adjacent westerly dwelling and its proximity to the bluff, as
described above. Moreover, no relief would be necessary for a new pool if the existing pool
located 37 feet from the bluff crest were simply left in place. However, in order to create a design
that would both achieve the benefit sought by the applicant and result in a substantial improvement
to the property with respect to bluff setback nonconformity, the applicant is offering to relocate a
smaller swimming pool approximately 27 feet farther from the bluff crest as part of a proposal to
locate the new dwelling 82 feet from the bluffcrest.
Michael Phillips, "Area Variance Reasons," Page 2 of 2
'R~,l~ert E. Hemuann
The relief requested is not substantial because both the dwelling and swimming pool will occupy
smaller footprints at greater distances from the bluff than do the existing dwelling and swimming
pool. The proposed dwelling requires 18 feet of relief compared to the 34.5' of existing bluff
setback nonconformity. Moreover, the relief requested for the swimming pool is actually less than
the minimum relief necessary because the pool is functional and could be left in its current
location 37.6' from the bluff, thus leaving the existing 62.4' setback nonconformity with respect to
the required 100' bluff setback. The applicant is instead seeking 35' of relief to establish a 65'
bluff setback for a smaller swimming pool located closer to the proposed relocated dwelling in
order to achieve a further decrease in the overall degree of bluff setback nonconformity,
specifically a roughly 73 percent increase in the existing minimum bluff setback.
With respect to physical and environmental conditions, the existing site is characterized generally
by a swimming pool and dwelling located +37' and +65', respectively, from the bluff; a lawn that
extends to the crest of the bluff; an antiquated sanitary system located a little more than I00 feet
fi~m the crest of bluff; and no drainage system to collect roofnmoff. The proposed project seeks
to remove these existing structures and to construct a new, smaller swimming pool located +65'
from the crest of bluff and a new dwelling with a 20 pement smaller footprint located +82' ~rom
the crest of bluff; to install a drainage system of leaders, gutters, and drywells; to install an
upgraded, SCDHS-approved sanitary system located more than 150 feet from the crest of bluff;
and to establish a 15-foot wide planted buffer along the top of the bluff in place of existing lawn.
All proposed structures will be located more than 140 feet from the surface waters and littoral zone
wetlands of Long Island Sound, and the bluff is stabilized and protected by a substantial stone
retaining wall located at its toe.
The project design and incorporated mitigation measures thus provide the following environmental
benefits: a) lot coverage by structures will be decreased by 735 square feet or approximately 3
percent of buildable land; b) wetlands setbacks will be increased and the minimum structural
setback to the crest of bluff will increase by almost 28 feet, a nearly 75 percent increase in the
existing bluff setback; c) on-site septic treatment will be improved and located farther from surface
waters through upgrade and relocation of the sanitary system; d) the proposed drainage system will
capture and recharge roof runoff to reduce surface water runoff; e) the quantity and quality of
surface water runoff reaching the bluff will be mitigated through establishment of approximately
t,500 square feet of naturally vegetated buffer in place of existing lawn, which serves both as a
sink and filter for stormwater runoff and contaminants contained therein; and f) the area of
property treated with fertilizers, pesticides, and insecticides will be reduced and set farther from
surface waters by the proposed buffer.
5. The difficulty is not self-created due to the preexisting locations both of the structures on the
subject property and on the westerly adjacent property.

DEVELOPED COAST POLICY
Policy 1. Foster a pattern of development in the Town of Southold that enhances community character,
preserves open space, makes efficient use of infrastructure, makes beneficial use of a coastal location, and
minimizes adverse effects of development. See LWRP Section III - Policies; Page 2 for evaluation
criteria.
~]Yes [--] No [~ Not Applicable
Attach additional sheets if necessary
Policy 2. Protect and preserve historic and archaeological resources of the Town of Southold. See LWRP
Section III - Policies Pages 3 through 6 for evaluation criteria
[~] Yes ~] No [~ Not Applicable
Attach additional sheets if necessary
Policy 3. Enhance visual quality and protect scenic resources throughout the Town of Southold. See
LWRP Section III - Policies Pages 6 through 7 for evaluation criteria
~ Yes ~-~ No [~ Not Applicable
The project is consistent with Policy 3 because the proposed structures are proposed to be located farther from the top of the bluff than
the existing, thus increasing visual buffer for the development for Long Island Sound. Moreover, a naturally planted buffer will be
established in place of existing lawn adjacent to the bluff, which will enhance the scenic quality of the site nearest to the bluff.
Attach additional sheets if necessary
NATURAL COAST POLICIES
Policy 4. Minimize loss of life, structures, and natural resources from flooding and erosion. See LWRP
Section III - Policies Pages 8 through 16 for evaluation criteria
The project is consistent with Policy 4 to the extent that it relocates existing structures farther from the adjacent bluff.
Attach additional sheets if necessary
Policy 5. Protect and improve water quality and supply in the Town of Southold. See LWRP Section III
- Policies Pages 16 through 21 for evaluation criteria
E~ Yes ~ No ~ Not Applicable
The project will protect and improve water quality and thus be consistent with Policy 5 through the establishment of a 1Y-wide nonturf
buffer to be planted with native vegetation in place of existing maintained lawn area adjacent to the top of the bluff. The existing
naturally vegetated slope will remain undisturbed and continue to serve as a buffer adjacent to Long Island Sound. The surface water
runoff absorption capacity of the site will be increased not only by the replacement of lawn with this buffer but also via installation of a
drainage system of leaders, gutters, and drywells to capture and recharge roof nmoff from the entire finished dwelling sla-ucture.

The existing site is characterized by swimming pool and dwelling located +37' and +65', respectively, from the bluff; a lawn that extends to the crest of
the bluff; an antiquated sanitary system located a little more than 100 feet from the crest of bluff; and no drainage system to collect roof runoff. The
proposed project seeks to remove these existing structures and to construct a new, smaller swimming pool located +65' from the crest of bluffand a
new dwelling with a smaller footprint located +82' from the crest of bluff; to install a drainage system of leaders, gutters, and drywells; to install an
upgraded, SCDHS-approved sanitary system located more than 150 feet from the crest of bluff; and to establish a 15-foot wide planted buffer along the
top oftbe bluff in place of existing lawn. All proposed structures will be located more than 140 feet from the surface waters and littoral zone wetlands
of Long Island Sound, and the project is located beyond the Tidal Wetlands jurisdiction of the New York State Department of State Coastal Resources
Division.
Although the newly proposed structures do not meet a 100-foot setback from the crest of bluff, the project design and incorporated mitigation measures
will produce a significant net benefit to the environmental conditions of the property and to the adjacent natural resources, including: a) lot coverage by
structures will be decreased by 735 square feet or approximately 3 pement of buildable land; b) wetlands setbacks will be increased and the minimum
structural setback to the crest of bluffwill increase by approximately 28 feet or 75 percent; c) on-site septic treatment will be improved and located
farther from surface waters through upgrade and relocation of the sanitary system; d) the proposed drainage system wiII capture and recharge roof
runoff to reduce surface water runoff; e) the quantity and quality of surface water runoff reaching the bluff will be mitigated through establishment of
approximately 1,500 square feet of naturally vegetated buffer in place of existing lawn, which serves both as a sink and filter for stormwater runoff and
contaminants contained therein; and f) the area of property treated with fertilizers, pesticides, and insecticides will be reduced and set farther from
surface waters by the proposed buffer. Therefore, the project will be consistent with the Policy 6 goal of protecting and restoring the quality and
function of the Town of Southold's ecosystems.
