Judge Eowell of Nattituck, appeared before the board and presented unfiled map
of his property in New Suffolk and asked for advise as to how he could sell his lots
and comply with the Ordinance. Board advised that the undersized lots could be
divided into six lots of approximately 125' x 100t, this would then comply with the
Ordinance.
Frank Ash~y of Greenport presented unfiled map of Cove Park, Greenport, N.Y.
Mr. Ashby said his lawyer had azlvised him to deed every other lot over to his wife
~nd this was done 3 or 4 days before zonir~g went into effect. Recently, due to the
fact that he realized he would need some sort of variance in order to ~uild on these
lots, he had Mr. Van Tull draw up a revised map. New map is dated July 8, 1957, but
the lots are still undersized. Board ~ivised that the map in itts present form
would not be acceptable as the Ordinance requires that a lot be 125t x lO01 and they
advised Mr. Ashby to take the matter up with the Planning Board and have them take
a look at the property in question.

"There being no one wishing to speak "against" this appeal the board is prepared to
ms~e an immediate decision."

PUBLIC HEARING - Appeal No. 8 - Application of Henry Troutm~n, Smith Drive,
Southold, N. Y., for variance to Zoning Ordins~uce, Article III, Section 304.

Chairman: "Is there anyone present who wishes to speak "against" this appeal?
Anyone wishing to speak "for"?"
There being no response, the board studied this application for permission to
build an addition to the present structure. Rough sketch of project accompanied
appeal which showed an existing porch that is to be torn down and replaced by the
new addition of a bedroom, which would reduce the existing setback by approximately
l0 feet. Board agreed that this request for variance be granted as other existing
houses in the district are of various setbacks ~nd the granting of this variance
would not change the character of the district in question. It was pointed out,
however, that Mr. Trout~u would be notified, in the form of a letter, that he
would have to observe Section 1006 of the Ordinance pertaining to obsuuri~ of
view on a corner lot.

property which they still use as a summer dwelling. A new ~uilding was erected
on the lot 4 or 5 years ago. New building 28~ x 22~ on lot 75~ x lC0t. Mr. Hunter
would like to sell the new house along with half ofthe lot and then he would tear
down the old shack and put up a new building for his own use on the other half of
the lot. Board advised that they had absolutely no authority to grant permission
to divide the property into two such lots. T hey advised Er. Hunter that he could
improve his existing shack as long as he did not change the outside dimension of
