Telephone SO 52660 MINUTES Southold Town Board of Appeals ~arch 20, 1958 A regular meeting of the $outhold Town Doard of Appeals was held on Thursday evening, ~arch 20, 1958, at 7:30 P.~. at the ~attituck Fire House, Pike Street, Mattituck, N.Y. There were oresent: Robert W. Gillispie, Jr., Chairman Bobert Bergen Herbert Rosenberg Charles Grigonis, Jr. Absent: Er. Serge Doyen, Jr. Also Present: Howard E. TePPy, Building Inspector PUBLIC HEARINJ: Appeal No. 47 - Application for permissive use dated March 3, 1958, by Arnold S. Sacks of New Suffolk Avenue, Mattituck, New York, in connection with establishing labor camp to be moved from one section of property which was originallySacks to another section. This property located South side of Sound Avenue, Mattituck, New York. There were 5 persons present at this hearing. The Chairman opened the meeting by reading the legal notice of hearing, affidavit of publication in the Long Island Traveler-~attituck Watc.hman, and letter to attorney for applicant advising of date of hearing. Chairman: ~Is there any one present who wishes to speak "for" this application?" William Wickham, Esq. of Mattituck, New York, stated that he represented Mr. Sacks and that Edgar Hills of 140 Nassau Street, New York, was associated with him. Mr. Wickham stated that he aopeared because of the fact that Mr. Sacks was sick and Mr. Hills was unable~to get out from the city. He presented to the Board a map showing the location of the Sacks farm. ~r. Wickham: #~r. Sacks has owned this acreage for some years, having bought it from the Downs f~mily.Xn 1955 be placed a labor camp in this wood- land right across from Westphalia Road. In August 1956 Mr. Sacks sold this Southold Town Board of Appeals Mar~ 20, 1958 ~I N.U. TE S, Continued land on which the labor camp is located to Mr. William Cbudiak, with the provision that Mr. Sacks could leave his labor camp there *or one year and then would have to move it. In 1957 Mr. Chudiak allowed him to have the labor camp there through the 1957 season. Now he is obligated to find another location. He has picked a location south of Sound Avenue, about 900 feet south of Sound Avenue, still on his farm. His farm land runs fairly level south from Sound Avenue to the spot marked by crayon, then slopes off. ~here is a sort of shelf ~lght here. IV the camp is located in this position, very little will be seen either from the street or the surrounding areas. "Care must be taken to consider its position in relation to other buildings and residences. There is a commercial building owned by Papish Equipment Company. This is Mr. Papishts commercial location in farming equipment and cars. Across the street, catty-cornered, is Mr. Bullock~'s residence, nerhaps 1OOO or llOO feet from the proposed location. To the northwest is Mr. Jazombek?s residence, a distance of aopro~ims~tely l~OO feet. Off to the northeast is Mrs. Pylko~s residence, about ~lOO feet distant. There are no residences in this location here except a great distsnces over to Laurel Lake. After this is the property of C. A. Price and Comoany, Inn, This area here is pretty much swamp, trees and shrubs. The trees swing up to the Hallock property, so it is a question of whether this house would see the camp on account of the trees. But there are no residences right here whatso- ever. Now it seems that Mr. Sacks, in requesting or asking that this labor camp be located in this oositlon i~ being extremely considerate. As I indi- cated earlier, wiZh the camp in this location it would be a much ~impler and much cheaoer ooeration for him, with electric light lines right there and right on the road. Otherwise he has to ou~ a road in down here, he has to Out his own orivate electric li2ht line in at his own expense, there is no way the comoany will do it. "I frankly can't see how such a location can be ch~.!lenged. He is taking it away from this location in close orowimity to a great number of oeople. He is putting it down here where just the top can be seen from the road ~nd a very goodly distance from any commercial venture or any residence. We have numerous cases in Southold Town where there are l~bor camps which I don~t think compare in location. In Cutchogue by the railroad tracks. And the i.M. Young pu~ one in down in Southold with much opposition but which is working out very well, But in this case he is going to a great deal of expense, it costs a great deal of money. "We respectfully urge the Board to consider favorably the application." C' "Is hairman, there any one else who wi~hes to speak for this application? Is there any one who wi~bes to speak against it?" Mrs. ~ary Pylko: "I wish to speak against it. I am against the camp because when t~ey had it on the other side we had quite a few disturbances at midnights and in the morning." Nr. Anthony S. Pylko: "The law can prove that there's trouble there every d~y. They don~t even live like human beings. I~m very much against it. It s going to disvalue the property automatically by having a camp there. We are thinking seriously about having a development there ourselves." Southold Town Board of Appe~_ls Mar-- 20, 1958 kIN~T.EB, Continued Chairman: "How far away is your property from this location?" Mr. Pylko: "About llO0 feet. But they go all over the farm. We have trouble two or three olclock in the morning. You can see them layinz out in the road where the coos have to come to pick them up.'t Chairman: "That~ in the location it wac in - the old location?" ~r. Pylko: "Yes." Bergen: "How about the one on the old Do~,~ farm?" ~r. Pylko: "They have no trouble." ~r. Bergen: "This one will be farther away ~han that one is." ~rs. Pylko, speaking for her mother, Mrs. Eva Bullock: "Ny mother says that they come from the other camp into here and have great parties and make a lot of noise every night. They telephone all the time. Always come calling the cops." Chairman: "Do you have any other ~uggestion as to where the camp might be located?" Mr. Pylko: "They have a labor camp in Cu%chogue. PUt them there." Chairman: "Is that all you have to say?" Nr. Ed. Jazombeck~ Mr, Jamombeck questioned the location of the road on the map, then stated: "~om where I am, I presume that's where the poles are going and everything. From my place all the windows are facing right at it, and of course I know these people, the way they act up in the s~mer, and I don~t want any trouble with my family when I~m not around. I looked that hand over tod~y and I think I can see it every day. I don~t know quite Just where it is goin$ to be located, but I ~ve an idea that anybody in my shoes if they lived there, I donlt think they would like to look at it all the time.' I~m not too keen about it." Chairman: applic~.tion? application?" "Is t~ere any one else who wishes to soeak against this there any one who wlshe~ to soeak in ~ebuttal for this Nr. ~ickham: "I Just have two things in mind. One is the fact that I do not believe that the police department ha~ any objection or has any violent or general difficultie~ with the camp that is being moved. I do say this, also, that the condition of the camp and. ~he conditions around the camp ~re matters for the Board of Health ~nd if there are any comolalnts that is a m~tter to be brought up before the Board of Health rather than to tbi~ meeting. I ~till think this location is about as good as you can find anywhere in Southold Town for a labor camp. It~ a good distance from any residence and below the Ievel of the road, and I can't conceive of ~ better olace to put Chairman: "I~ there anyone who wishes to ~pesk in rebuttal agminst t~i~ ~pplication?" March , 1958 Southold Town Boa~d of Appeals Continued. Mr. Pylko: "My wife expects to develop our farm. Putting in a labor camp i~ going to disvalue the property. Nobody wants a labor camp close to their property. ~We~ll ~ee our attorney or ~omebody and look into tbls, and ask the tax asseseor~ to come down and re-asses~ the whole thing." Chairman: "I~ there any one else? Are there any questions the members of the Board would like to ask, or ~r. Terry?" The hearing w~s a~e~zl two weeks, to April 3, 1958 at 7130 P.~. at Southold, in order to give every one en opportunity to submit any additional information. Tbs Chairman stated that any communic~ttons should be addressed to the Board of Appeals, 8outbold. ~r. Hugh C. Hurdle then came in for an informal discussion with the Board relative to set-backs in connection with his property on Main Road, $outhold, New York. It wa, the decision of the Board that they direct Mr. How~.rd Terry, Building Inspector, to i~sue a temporary Certificate of Occupancy to ~r. Hugh C.
