Terephone SO 5-2660 MINUTES Southold Town Board of Appeals June 26, 1958 A regular meeting of the Southold Town Board of Appeals was held at 7:30 P.M. on Thursday, June 26, 1958, in the Town Clerk's Office, Southold, New York.

Terry, Building Inspector PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal No. 68 on application of Baker & Fickeissen, Boisseau Avenue, Southold, New York~ on behalf of Harold_~ Hol~berg, North Road, Greenport, N.Y., for a variance to the Zoning Ordinance under Article III, Section 907. The Chairman opened the hearing by reading the appeal, letter to applicant advising of date of public hearing and legal notice of hearing with affidavit attesting to publication. Chairman: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak for this appeal? Mr. Holmberg: I just wish to say that the garage was built long before the enactment of the Zoning Ordinance and I have now retired and we are m. king this our home now and the garage is not large enough to store my car and boat during the winter months. Location of property: North side of North Road, Route 27A, Greenport, N.Y. The Chairman then asked if there wets anyone who wished to speak against the appeal and as there was no response the Board reviewed the application and unanimously granted the variance. It was the Board's determination that the strict application of the Ordinance would produce undue and unique hardship as the house and garage were built before the enactment of the Ordinance and the additional 8 foot garage space was needed in this particular instance and most all neighboring properties had sufficient garage spacer and this additional 8 foot added to the existing garage would not affect the character of the district.

Mr. Witherspoon explained that basically he sells advertising space and, the sign in question would be bought for a period of two months by the Wise Potato Chip company and by other organizations for period of perhaps from two to four months at a time. He stated that the ~roducts advertised would be nationally known products and would not necessarily be those sold on the premises. Mr. Rosenberg explained that the Ordinance specifically states that the signs permitted are those that announce the business in which a person is engaged and the business conducted therein.
