Re:
Permit Application
No. 1-4738-00501-00002
Dear Mr. Hammarth:
Z write this letter on behalf of the Executive Committee of
the Fishers Island Conservancy regarding the permit application of
Mr. John Brim(who recently purchased the former Whitney estate on
Fishers Island) to build a tennis court on his newly acquired prem-
ises. We have nothing Whatsoever against the building of tennis
courts, but in this particular case we have some serious environ-
mental grounds for concern.
For the last 6 years, the Fishers Island Conservancy has with
considerable success tried to persuade Island property owners to
maintain at least a 75' to 100' distance between newly conceived
structures and the borders of any fresh water wetland. Not only
do these quoted distances conform to Southold Town and NY State DEC
regulations, but they make sense from an environmental point of
view, particularly on Fishers Island, where the entire Island has
been classifed by Suffolk County as a "Critical EnviroD_mental
Area".
You can imagine our concern, then, when we heard that Mr.
Brim's proposed tennis!court will lie within 30 feet of a DEC-
marked wetland on one side. Our prime concern here is of course
environmental, and were we to have knowledge of the plans for such
a project so close to a wetland without uttering an expression of
our deepest concern, we would be going against everything we have
striven for, over the better part of a decade.
Again - we have no objections whatsoever to Mr. Brim's
building a tennis cour~ on his newly acquired property. We would
urge him, however, since his property is well over 3 acres in size,
to try to buitd his tennis court on an area not so Close to the
wetlands, where such environmental hazards asclear-cutting, earth-
moving and grading, newilandscaping, etc. make the nearness of his
project to the wetland doubly unsound environmentally.
Un~il these environmentally-based conditions are corrected,
then, this Conservancy cannot favor the granting of a DEC permit to
Mr. Brim's tennis court project. When construction is planned this
close to a wetland, yet where ample space appears to be available
elsewhere on ~e Same property, then surely some other site not sO
envir0nm~nt~l~Y sens~tiveShould be bothchOsen and acted UPon.
Sincerely,
Thatcher, Ji~.

Appl. No. 4111:
Matter of JOHN G. AND MARIE ELENA BRIM. Amended variances
to the Zoning Ordinance, Article III, Section 100-33 for
permission to locate accessory tennis court with steps and
retaining wall in the side yard and partly in the front yard,
and having an insufficient.setback from the front property line
and the freshwater wetlands, (which will include the removal of
an existing garage presently in the side yard)- Location of
Property: Northerly side of Private Road off East End Avenue,
Fishers Island, Town of Southold; County Tax Map Parcel No.
1000-4-3-3; also referred to as FIDCO Block 18, Lots lA and lB
as combined, having a total land area of 3.56+- acres in this
R-120 Zone District.
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on June 4, 1992, and all
those who desired to be heard were heard and their testimony
recorded;i and
WHEREAS, the Board has carefully considered all testimony
and documentation submitted concerning this application; and
1W~EREAS, the Board Members have personally viewed and are
familiar With the premises in question, its present zoning, and
the surrounding areas; and
WHEREAS, the Board made the following findings of fact:
1. PROPERTY IDENTIFICATION: The premises in question is
located in the R-120 Zone District at the East End of Fishers
Island, fronting along the north side of Private Road and
frontage- along Fishers Island Sound, and identified on the
Suffolk County Tax Map as District 1000, Section 4, Block 3, Lot
3.
2. SITE DESCRIPTION: The subject premises is improved
with a 4700+- sq. ft. dwelling, accessory swimming pool,
extensive garden and driveway areas, and accessory garage
structures, all as shown on the site plan map prepared by
Richard H. Strouse, L.E. for Chandler, Palmer & King, L.S. on
Page 2 - Appl. No. 4111
Decision Rendered June 4, 1992
Matter of JOHN AND ELENA BRIM
January 31, 1992. The subject premises consists of a total lot
area of 3.56+- acres (combined as one lot: FIDCO n~mbers lA
and lB). The contours of the property vary significantly as
depicted on the site plan may revised February 21, 1992 (also
prepared by Chandler, Palmer & King, L.S.).
3. AMENDMENT REQUESTED: This application is requesting an-
amended location for a proposed tennis court {which was
originally submitted for a 60' by 120' tennis court with a
minimum distance: (a) from the easterly side lot line at 15
feet, (b) from the southerly front property line at not less
than six (6') feet, and (c) from the wetlands as flagged by the
D.E.C. at 43 (or 44') feet}. The location as amended is shown
on the "May 12, 1992 Layout Plan" prepared by Chandler, Palmer &
King with the following proposed setbacks:
(a) from the most northeasterly setback to the
property line at 10.2 feet and 11+- ft. to the arc along the
easterly side property line;
(b) the setback from the southerly front property
line will not be changed -- being not less than six (6') feet;
the
feet.
(c) the setback from the southeasterly most corner of
tennis court enclosure scales out to be at not less than 20
court
grade.
4. HEIGHT: No change is proposed for
fence height of ten (10') feet from tennis
the tennis
court base at
5. BASIS OF REQUEST: The testimony received under the
previous application appears emphasized the need for preserving
two large cherry trees at the expense of extensive regrading and
excavating that would have been necessary to locate the court in
that particular location. The newly proposed location would
require a substantial reduction in the amount of land excavation
(now at 140 yards). {See testimony to support the amended
application from Oliver Cope (Architect)}.
6. In checking with the N.Y.S. Department of Environmental
Conservation, it was confirmed that a plan to reduce the amount
of- land excavation is encouraged eventhough the setback to the
wetlands for a surface tennis court is closer. (More
disturbance would be created to the land areas by excavation
than by a surface tennis court at grade with fencing.)
7. In considering this appeal, it has been found that:

to the
circumstances;
the relief is the minimal necessary underlthe

(~d) the relief re~ested will not, in turn, be
adverse to the safety, health, welfare, comfort, convenience, or
order of the or+be adve since
is~more ~han ~eet distant;
(e) the relief requested does not involve an increase
of dwelling unit density and therefore will not cause an effect
on available governmental facilities;
(f) the property is unique in that there is limited
"rear" yard area as defined in our zoning code due to the
characterof this waterfront community and the layout of the
land and principal building;
(g) before any activities are commenced, all other
agency approvals muse be issued in writing and made a part of
the town permit records including an amended application to
the Town Trustees and the N.Y.S. Department of Environmental
Conservation, with which reviews are being or have been
finalized;
(h)the project will comply with the front yard
limitation in the previous determination (under Appl. No. 4097
rendered May 7, 1992) and is to be at least 100 feet from the
top ~.of the sound bluff as required by Section 100-239.4 of the
Zoning Code.

Mr. Grigonis, it was
RESOLVED, to GRANT permission in the Matter of the
Application of JOH/~ G. AND MARIA ELENA A. BRIM to locate a 60
ft. by 120 ft. tennis court with 10 ft. high fence around its

P~ge 2 - Appl. No. 40~7
Decision Rendered May 7, 1992
Matter of JOH~N AND ELENA BRiM
3. Submitted initially with the application for
consideration is the proposed location of a 60' by 120' tennis
court with a minimum distance: (a) from the easterly side lot
line at 15 feet, (b) from the southerly front property line at
not less than six (6') feet, and (c) from the wetlands as
flagged by the D.E.C. at 43 (or 44') feet. The tennis court
fence is proposed at a height of ten feet from tennis court base
at grade.
4. Subsequently, at the public hearing, the attorney for
the applicant submitted an amended map (dated April 7, 1992) for
consideration as the preferred atternative),re-positioning the
tennis court closer to the east, with a minimum setback at the
northeast corner of the tennis court at 2-1/2 feet instead of 15
feet (and at 20 feet instead of 35+- feet at the southeasterly
corner of the tennis court). {See additional documentation
submitted to support the ~nended application, including the
affidavit of Oliver Cope (Architect) concerning existing 24~
cherry trees and oak trees at the location of the proposed
tennis court and ground elevations of the site.}
5. it is the position of this Board that the second
alternative to position to tennis court at 2-1/2 feet from the
property line at its closest point (at the northeast corner of
the tennis courT) and 22 feet from the nearest wetlands as
flagged by the D.E.C. is substantial in relation to the
requirements and is not the minim~ necessary to afford relief
under the circumstances.
6. Accordingly, it is the position of the Board that the
initial site plan map revised February 21, 1992 positioning the
tennis court at a distance 15 feet from the easterly property
line and at 43 (44') from the nearest wetlands as flagged by the
D.E.C. is not unreasonable in that:
(a) the circumstances are uniquely related to the
land and are not personal in nature to the landowner;
(b) the relief is the minimal necessary under the
circumstances;
(c.) the relief as granted will not alter the
essential character o~ the neighborhood since it is not uncommon
to locate accessory uses of this nature in areas other than the
waterfront yard areas (which under our current zoning ordinance
is defined as the rear yard area};
(d) the relief requested will not, in turn, be
adverse to the safety, health, welfare, comfort, convenience, or
Page 3 - Appl. No. 4097
Decision Rendered May 7, 1992
Matter of JOHN AND ELENA BRIM
order of the town, or Db adverse to neighboring properties since
the nearest neighborinq residence is more than 500 feet distant;
(e) the relief requested does not involve an increase
of dwelling unit density and therefore will not cause an effect
on available governmental facilities;
(f) the property is unique in that there is limited
"rear" yard area as defined in our zoning code due ~o the
character of this waterfront co~unity and the layout of the
land and principal building.
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Doyen, seconded by
Mr. Dinizio, it was
RESOLVED, to GRANT permission in the Matter of the
Application of JOHN~nd ~3LqiA?~,~-NAA. BRIM to locate a 60 ft. by
120 ft. tennis court with 10 ft. high fence around its perimeter
as shown on the site plan amended February 21, 1992 prepared by
Chandler, Palmer & King, L.S. and SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING
CONDITIONS:
t. That there be no lighting which would be adverse to
neighboring properties or traffic;
2. That screening ~o the edge of the easterly driveway
area be planted and maintained along the easterly section o~ the
proposed tennis court fence for a minimum height of six feet.
Such screening shall be mvy or similar vines, or evergreens 6 to
8 ft. apart. (Alternative screening may be substituted by the
ZBA Chairman, when requested in writing).
3. That the setbacks from the easterly property line shall
not be less than 15 feet (as shown on the initial site plan) and
not less than 40 to 43 feet to the nearest wetland edge {which
is shown to be flagged by the DEC}.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Goehringer, Doyen,
Dinizio, and Villa. (Member Grigonis was absent.) This
resolution was duly adopted.

In response to your request, a field inspection was ~ade of the above referenced
property. The freshwater wetland boundary, as flagged by your f~rm, has been
confirmed for the purposes of this application.
The'Freshwater Wetlands Act, Article 24 of the ~nvironmental Conservation Law,
regulates most develooment activities within 100 feet of this boundary. Should
you apply for a 3ermit, your site plan must deoict the flagged wetland boundary
as located by a licensed surveyor. I strongly recommend that you promptly hire
a surveyor to plot these flags. The boundary should be noted on the survey or
site plan as follows:

State Environmental Quality Review
FULL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FORM
SEQR
Purpose: The full lEAF is designed to help applicants and agencies determine, in an order[v manner, whether a project
or action ma~ be s~gnificant. The ouestion of whether an action mav be significant is not always easy to answer. FreQuent-
ly, there are a~ 3ects of a prolect that are subiective or unmeasureable. It is also understood that those who determine
significance ma~, have little or 9o formal knowledge of the enwronment or may be technically expert in environmental
analysis. In addition, many who have knowledge in one particular area may not be aware of the broader concerns affecting
the q ~estion of significance
The full EAF is intended to provide a method whereby applicants and agencies can be assured that the determination
process has been orderly, comprehensive in nature, yet flexible to allow introduction of information to fit a project or action.
Full £AF Components: The full EAF is comprised of three parts:
Part 1: Provides objective data and information about a given prolect and its site. By identifying basic project
data it assists a reviewer in the analysis that takes place in Parts 2 and 3.
Part 2: Focuses on identifying the range of possible impacts that may occur from a project or action, t provides
guidance as to whether an ~mpact is likely to be considered small to moderate or whether it is a potentially-
large impact. The form also identifies whether an impact can be mitigated or reduced.
Part 3: If any impact in Part 2 is identified as potentially-large, then Part 3 is used to evaluate whether or not the
impact is actuallv important,
DETERMINATION OF SIGNIFICANCE~Type I and Unlisted Actions
Identify the Portions of EAF completed for this project: [] Part I [] Part 2 [:]Part 3
Upon review of the information recorded on this EAF (Parts 1 and 2 and 3 if appropriate), and any other supporting
information, and considering both the magitude and importance of each imoact, it is reasonably determined by the
lead agency that:
El~ A. The project will not result in any large and important impact(s] and. therefore, ~s one which will not
have a significant impact on the environment, therefore a negative declaration wilt I~ I~,e~red.
[] B, Although the proiect could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant
effect for this Unlisted Action because the mitigation measures described in PART 3 have been required,
therefore a CONDITIONED negative declaration will be prepared.*
[] C. The project may result ih one or more large and important impacts that may have a significant impact
on the environment, therefore a positive declaration will be prepared.
* A Conditioned Negative Declaration ~s only valid for Unlisted Actions

as part of the application for approval and may be subject to further verification and public review. Provide any additional
information you believe will be needed to complete Parts 2 and 3.
It is expected that completion of the full EAF will be dependent on information currently available and will not involve
new studies, research or investigation. If information requiring such additional work is unavailable, so indicate and specify

Part 2-~PROJECT IMPACTS AND THEIR MAGNITUDE
Responsibility of Lead Agency
General In[ormafion [Read Carefully)
· In completing the form the reviewer should be guided bY the euestion: Have my responses and determinations been
reasonable? The reviewer is not expected to he an expert environmental analyst
· Identifying that an imoact wfl be potentially large (column 2) does not mean that it is also necessarily sig~ificanL
Any large impact must be evaluated in P~,RT 3 to determine s~gnificance. Identifying an ~mpact in ,:olumn 2 simply
asks that it'be looked at further.
· The Examples nrovided are. to assist the reviewer by showing t¥~es of impacts and wherever possible the threshold of
magnitude that would trigger a response in column 2. The examples are generally a ~)plicable throughout the State and
for most situations. But. for any specific pro] act or site other examples and/or lower thresholds may be appropriate
for a Potential Large Impact response, thus requiring evaluation in Part 3.
· The imu'acts of each proiect, on each site. in each locality, will vary. Therefore, the examples are illustrative and
have been offered as guidance. They do not constitute an exhaustive list of impacts and thresholds to answer each question.
· The number of examples net ouestion does not indicate the importance of each question.
· In identifying impacts, consider tong term. short term and cumlative effects
Instruclions (Read carefully)
a. Answer each of the 19 questions in PART 2 Answer Yes if there will be any impact.
Maybe answers should be considered as Yes answers.
c If answering Yes to a question then check the appropriate box (column I or 2) to indicate the potential size of the
impact. If impact threshold eoua[s or exceeds any example provided, check column 2. If impact will occur but threshold
is lower than example, check column 1.
d. If reviewer has doubt about size of the impact then consider the impact as potentially large and proceed to PART 3.
e. f a potentially large impact checked in column 2 can be mitigated by change(s) in the project to a small to moderate
impact, also check the Yes box in column 3. A No response indicates that sucl~ a reduction is not possible. This
must be explained in Part 3.
IMPACT ON LAND
I Will'the proposed action result in a physical change to the oroject site?
E3NO E]YES

3 feet.
· Construction of 0aved parking area for 1,000 or more vehicles. []
· Construction on land where bedrock is exposed or generally within []
3 feet of existing ground surface.
· Construction that will continue for more than I year or involve more []
than one phase or stage.
· Excavation for mining purposes that would remove more than 1.000 []
tons of natural material (i.e.. rock or soil) per year.
