Southold Town Board of Appeals
May 29, 1958
~INUTES, Continued
of the Board that the sign must be moved, if necessary, to conform to five foot
setback from all property lines, in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance. The
estimated cost of the new building - $13,500.00. It was noted that a "B"
Business district was applied for but tha~t no'action has yet been taken by the
Town Board on this matter.
It was the Board's decision that the easterly side of the new building
should be located at least 20 feet from present easterly property line of Charles
M. King and that north side of proposed building be located at least 20 feet
south of and parallel to location of present structure.
Appeal was unanimously granted. Board reasoned that the new station does not
constitute an expansion of a non-conforming use and that it will in fact be
smaller than the present station and may be expected to enhance the character of
the neighborhood.
Mr. Donald Tuthill, an electrician, appeared regarding moving to a new
location. Board agreed it would be okay if no advertising signs were erected.
Board does not consider his present occupation, involving garaging a truck at
his residence and storing small quantities of electrical supplies, constitutes
the operation of a business since there is no display, advertising or retailing
on the premises.
Minutes of the ~ay 22nd meeting were read. On motion duly made by
Mr. Rosenberg, seconded by Mr. Bergen, and carried, Minutes were approved.
