APPEALS BOARD MEMBERS Gerard P. Goehringer, Chairman James Dinizio, Jr. Lydia A. Tortora Lora S. Collins George Horning BOARD OF APPEALS TOWN OF SOUTHOLD FINDINGS, DELIBERATIONS AND DETERMINATION REGULAR MEETING OF MARCH 25, 1999 Appl. No. 4671— HENRY L FERGUSON MUSEUM, INC. PARCEL 1000-9-4-11.1 STREET & LOCALITY: Equestrian Avenue, Fishers Island DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: March 25, 1999 FINDINGS OF FACT Southold Town Hall 53095 Main Road P.O. Box 1179 Southold, New York 11971 ZBA Fax (516) 765-9064 Telephone (516) 765-1809 PROPERTY FACTS/DESCRIPTION: The above identified property is preexisting and contains a nonconforming use in this R-80 Residential Zone District on Fishers Island, and consists of an acre of 3.21+- acres with 186+- ft. frontage along Equestrian Avenue. This property adjoins properties in a quaintly developed Hamlet Business (HB) Zone District occupied by the commercial buildings of the village center. The parcel is improved with one museum building which is owned and occupied by the H. Lee Ferguson Museum, Inc., a not -for profit private foundation. This 2,330+- sq. ft. one-story building was constructed in 1972, with an additional expansion in 1990. The current lot coverage is 1.7% and the new addition would increase lot coverage to 2.6% as proposed. The remaining portion of the property is occupied by a rustic wetlands -wildlife sanctuary which is freely open for public access from any of the three public roads around the property. BASIS OF APPEAL: The Building Inspector's February 2, 1999 Notice of Disapproval, under Article XXIV, Section 100-241-A in which a building permit was requested for an addition to an existing museum, a nonconforming use in this R-80 Zone District. VARIANCE RELIEF REQUESTED: Applicant is requesting an additional building area of 1,315 sq. ft. for the museum. The proposed addition would further reduce the existing setback from the nearest corner of the building to the Town right-of-way from 41.5 feet to 28.8 feet. The R-80 Residential Zone District requires a minimum front yard setback of 60 feet (or the average within 300 feet on the same block and same side of the street). Equestrian Avenue contains a side walk on the museum side of the road and the distance to the center of the sidewalk from the closest point of the proposed addition would be 38+- feet and the distance to the edge of the existing pavement of Equestrian Avenue would be 45+- feet. age 2 — Appl. No. 4671 Re: 1000-9-4-11.1 (Ferguson) ZBA Decision - March 25, 1999 REASONS FOR BOARD ACTION, DESCRIBED BELOW: With regard to Section 100-241A, the Board of Appeals is cognizant of the fact that this use (museum sanctuary) has existed on this property since 1972. This use is acknowledged as having a positive beneficial impact upon the surrounding more densely developed neighborhoods, both commercial and residential, because the museum occupies such a small percentage of the parcel which is otherwise designated to publicly accessible open space. The Museum provides a vital and beneficial service to Fishers Island. It is the repository of a wealth of knowledge which encompasses both local history and a realm of natural sciences. In order for the Museum to continue fulfilling its mission on Fishers Island in a positive and progressive manner, it is essential that it be allowed to expand its premises. Such expansion will be an enhancement rather than a detriment to the character of the neighborhood and nearby properties because the museum occupies a special niche in this small community and its mission is overwhelmingly supported by the residents. With regard to Section 100-32 (Bulk, Area and Parking Regulations) and while there is no other feasible way for the applicant to accomplish an increase in museum space for the purpose of creating additional exhibit display and storage facilities, the only feasible method is for the requested encroachment into the front yard setback facing Equestrian Avenue. As a result and due to topographical constraints on the property, the Board concludes that a museum addition will not change or expand the existing use because it will be for exhibits and displays related to the Museum, which exists. 1) The granting of the variance will not produce an undesirable change in the character of the neighborhood or be a detriment to nearby properties because the presence of the Museum and its adjacent wetlands wildlife sanctuary, situate upon a 3.21+- acre parcel, enhances the character of the neighborhood and also the value of nearby properties. 2) The benefit sought by the applicant cannot be achieved by some method, feasible for applicant to pursue, other than an area variance because the topography of the parcel, which contains a small museum building and a scenic wetlands -wildlife sanctuary, places severe limitations upon the location and direction suitable for expansion of the building. 3) The requested variance is substantial only in respect to the proposed front yard setback from the Town right-of-way known as Equestrian Avenue. The distance to the center of sidewalk from the closest point of proposed addition is 38+- feet and the distance to the edge of existing pavement is 45+- feet. 4) There is no evidence that the grant of the variance will have an adverse effect or impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood or district because the adjoining Hamlet Business zoned neighborhood contains commercial buildings that are much closer to the street. Page 3 - Appl. No. 4671 Re: 1000-9-4-11.1 (Ferguson) ZBA Decision - March 25, 1999 5) The alleged difficulty has not been self-created because within the recognition of the Museum's need and desire to expand the existing facility is a further recognition that the site topography presents a situation that cannot be deemed to be self-created. In considering this application, the Board deems an addition to the existing museum is the minimum necessary and adequate to preserve and protect the character of the neighborhood, and the health, safety, welfare of the community. RESOLUTION/ ACTION: On motion byChaixmn Goehringeseconded by Member Tortora, it was RESOLVED, to GRANT the variance, as applied for. VOTE OF THE BOARD: GOEHRIN , IO COLLINS.

Do not use these standards for "use variance" or "spec al exception." (Also attach sheets if necessary, with si natures.) 1. An undesirablechange will NOT be produced in the haracter of the neighborhood or a detriment to nearby properties, f granted g BECAUSE: commercial buildings to the northeast are already much closer to the f street line than applicant's proposed addition.

The benefit sought by the applicant CANNOT be achi ved by some method, feasible for the applicant to'pursue, other th n an area variance BECAUSE: there are steep slopes behind the existing useum building that would make construction in the rear yard difficult and impractical. 3. The amount of relief requested is not substantial ECAUSE, if the variances are -granted, the lot coverage on this. 3.7 -acre par el will be increased only to a very small 'extent and the building will still b -farther from the street line than its neighbors to the northeast. 4. The variance will NOT have an adverse effect or im act on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood or district BECAUSE building toward the street would 'have .a much smaller imp ct on physical conditions at the site and on the slopes and wetlands to the rear o the property. 5.

Ham, III RE: Application of Henry L. Ferguson Museum, Inc. (Application No. 4671-SCTM No. 1000-009.00-04.00-011.0011 This Memorandum is submitted in support of the Application of Henry L. Ferguson Museum, Inc. (Application No. 4671) for variances to permit the construction of an addition to the Ferguson, Museum building located on premises situate at Equestrian Avenue on Fishers Island (SCTM No. 1000-009.00-04.00-011.001). FACTS: The Building Inspector denied the application of the Henry L. Ferguson Museum, Inc. (the "Museum") for a building permit at the subject premises because the proposed additions would constitute the expansion of a non -conforming use in the R-80 Zone District and because one of the new additions would reduce the front yard setback from the already nonconforming distance of 41.5 feet to 28.8 feet, a 12.7 foot reduction. Copies of the Notices of Disapproval are attached hereto as Exhibit A. As indicated by the Affidavit of the architect Jacob D. Albert, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B, the proposed additions are designed to provide new galleries for marine exhibits and exhibits on the history of Fishers Island, to create space inside the existing building for a library, to provide a more accessible and inviting image to the entrance to the building and to expand and improve the services to the community the Museum now offers. As stated by Charles B. Ferguson, the President of the Museum, in his letter to your Board, dated March 22, 1999; a copy of which pis attached hereto as Exhibit C, the Museum has become a very important segment of Fishers Island life for both the summer and year-round residents. ARGUMENT FOR VARIANCES:' The Museum should be granted the requested variances because, among other good reasons, (a) the benefit to the applicant and to the public far outweighs any detriment to the immediate neighborhood or the community as a whole; (b) even after the additions are completed, very little of -the entire property will be in use; and (c) the additions are designed to preserve important environmental features. A. Benefit to'Public. The Museum building is a public facility which has become an important institution on Fishers Island. The public will be served by the new library and new space for existing exhibits. The additions will also create space for future expansion. For the reasons set forth below, expansion to a conforming location would be problematic. The Museum property is technically in the R-80 Zone District, a residential zone, but it is at the border of the commercial HB Zone District. The setback from the street line will be 28.8 feet, about half of the 60 -foot requirement. However, the setback of the building on the property adjoining on the northeast in the HB Zone is 0 feet as indicated by the copy of the survey of that property attached hereto as Exhibit D. The Museum property effectively provides a transition from the R-80 to the HB Zone District. B. Relative Degree of Expansion. The existing Museum building is situate on a parcel consisting of 3.21 acres or about 139,828 square feet, some 75% larger in area than the minimum lot area requirement in the R-80 Zone District. (In fact, it owns even more contiguous land, an approximately 4,000 square -foot parcel adjoining on the north designated on the Suffolk County Tax Map as number 1000-9-4-7.) The footprint of the existing Museum building is approximately 2,100 square feet which uses only 1.5% of the total lot area. When the proposed additions are completed, the building will use 3,420 square feet or 2.4% of the total lot area which is still well below the maximum lot coverage of 20% (which would be nearly 28,000 square feet). Therefore, while the Museum may be expanding a nonconforming use, the resulting building will still use only a very small portion of the entire lot. C. Environmental Features. As stated by Mr. Albert in his affidavit and as can be seen from the site plan prepared by Chandler, Palmer & King, construction in the more conforming rear yard would be much closer to the pond and wetlands that are located on the northwesterly portion of the property. Moreover, expansion on that side of the existing building would necessitate the removal of several mature trees. The proposed construction is therefore much more environmentally sound than construction in a conforming location would be. CONCLUSION If the variances are granted, the expansion of an important Fishers Island institution can be accomplished. The public will benefit from -that expansion without any detriment to the neighborhood or community whatsoever. Indeed, the applicant's plans take into account significant environmental concerns.

MRR-12-1999 10:02 AFFIDAVIT COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS) ss.: COUNTY OF JACOB D. ALBERT, being duly swom, deposes and sags: P.02 1. I am a duly licensed architect with the firm of Albert, Righter & Tittman Architects, Inc. which has offices at 58 Winter Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02108. 2. I have been intimately involved in planning the proposed additions to the Henry L. Ferguson Museum which is situated on property owned by Henry L. Ferguson Museum, Inc. at Equestrian Avenue on Fishers Island (SCTM No. 1000-009.00-04.00-011.001). 3. The proposed additions consist of a new entrance on the southerly side of the Museum facing Equestrian Avenue, a new gallery at the east end of the Museum building and a new exhibit "corridor" in the narrow strip at the rear or north side of the Museum building. 4. While the new entrance encroaches on the required 60 -foot front -yard setback, it would not be closer to the front lot line than the existing southeast corner of the Museum building. 5. The new gallery at the east end of the Museum building simply extends the length of that building. However, given the angle of the building to the road, the nonconformity of the existing nearest corner would be increased by 12.7 feet. 6. The new "corridor" at the rear of the Museum building does not violate any setback requirements. 7. The proposed additions are designed to accomplish the following goals: (a) to provide new galleries for marine exhibits and exhibits on the historyof Fishers Island; (b) to create space inside the existing Museum building for a library relating to the history and natural history of Fishers Island; (c) to provide a more generous and accessible entrance to the Museum building and to, create a more inviting image for that building as it will be viewed from Equestrian Avenue; and (d) to expand and improve the services to the community that the Museum now offers. 8. Expansion of the Museum in a conforming location at the rear or north side of the existing building would be problematic for several reasons. First, there is a steep slope -behind the building that would necessitate the creation of an exhibit gallery that would have a floor thirteen feet above grade, producing an awkward and unsightly addition. Second, existing mature trees at the rear of the building would have to be removed to accomplish the desired result. Finally, construction in that locationwould produce an addition that would be much closer to the existing wetlands than that currently proposed and for which a variances are sought. 9.

Island, Neal Y.rlt � Zoning Board of Appeals Town of Southold, N.Y. 11971 Dear Sirs: March 22, 1999 As President of the HENRY L. FERGUSON MUS- EUM on Fishers Island, N.Y., I am writing to request that a variance be granted to the museum for a proposed building expansion. The following is a brief resume of the history of the H.L.F.Museum: It is named in memory of my father, Henry L. Ferguson -who died in 1959. It was founded by friends of my father who took my father's collections of Nat- ive American artifacts, his mounted birds and his Fishers Island historical items and acquired a Charter from the New York State of Regents in 1960. The museum openmd- that year, 1960, in rented quarters. About 1972 a benefactor donated money for the construction of the Ferguson Museum on Equestrian Ave.c.-and.-on- a four acre plot which is the H.Lee Ferguson Wildlife Sanct- uary, my brother. About 1982 an addition, the Historical Room was constructed and a second room was added about 1991, the Archeological Wing. With the gift of a major donation recently, the Ferguson Museum has further plans for Ile Henry L. Ferguson Museum I Fishers sl77anJv New York 06390 —2.— expansion with the addition of: two gal- leries and an improved entranceway. The architectural firm of.Albett, Tittman and Righter of Boston are the designers. The present expansion plans will provide much needed space for a modest Library, a desire of the donor and an area for the storage of the growing historical material. In addition, space for computorization of the collections anqaudio/visual facilities will enhance the museum's educational capabilities. The HENRY L. FERGUSON MUSEUM, in its nearly forty years of existence, has become a very im- portant segment of Fishers Island life, both for the summer residents and for the winter pop- ulation. The time is ripe for the museum to full - fill its long range plan to provide quality exh- ibitions and to continue to expand its collect- ions of all -Fishers Island flora, fauna, Island history and archaeology. On behalf of the board of the Ferguson Museum, I urge the Zoning Board of Appeals to grant the requested variance s,o that the projected p&and may proceed. Please call me. -,;. at 86.0-677-8056 at my, winter home, 33 Farmstead Lane, Farmington, Ct.0603',. if I can be of further help. Sincerely, incl: 1998 H.L.F.M. Charles B.

WRIGHT CENTENNIAL 1898-1998 Together with the Fort H.G. Wright Association and its committee, the Ferguson Museum is celebrating the 100th anniversary of that "coastal defense, guardian of the Sound." The opening exhibition for this historic Fishers Island occasion will be at a reception at the museum on Friday, July 3, from 5 to 7 p.m. Museum board member Pierce Rafferty has researched the history of the fort from a decade before its founding in 1898 until its abandonment following World War II. It is a fascinating story, as his photographs and stories show. Pierce and John Wilton have also written a book, "Guardian of the Sound, a Pictorial History of Fort H.G. Wright, Fishers Island, NY," with photographs and - - --text-that depict the guns, the soldiers and the buildings. Their Fort Wright book will be ready for autographing at the museum on opening day, Friday, July 3. A short video in the museum, will highlight life as it was during the fort's 50 -year existence. On Sunday, July 5, the Fort H.G. Wright Association will hold a gala event as its celebration for the fort. A parade, tours of several of the big gun batteries and a tent on the old parade ground are planned for that Sunday. The Ferguson Museum will have a booth in the tent to dispense additional information on its membership, its special Fort Wright exhibition at the museum, and Pierce Rafferty's book. In honor of Edwin and Kay Homing's vast knowledge of the natural history of our Island, the Fort Wright Association has developed a trail at the fort that bears the Horning name. It is both an historic and military tour to view some of the gun emplacements as well as the nature trail. Mr. Horning has written a guide, "The Birds, Plants and Fish of Fort H.G. Wright." Maps of this newest walk are available at the museum. . "10 -inch Disappearing Gun, Fort Wright," oil painting, 24' x 36.5" by Beatrice Cumin, 1941. Gift of Bagley Reid: .(Note on back "W.P.A. accepted in good condition") MAJOR DONATION I V,-C:EIVED An anonymous donor has given the Henry L. Ferguson Museum a magnificent financial gift. It will be directed into four areas as approved by the giver and the museum's board: a portion into endowment, a portion into an enlarged library, some for the upgrading of the conservation of collections and exhibition techniques, and, finally, a sum for a modest addition to accommodate a library and reading room. This wing will also be a multipurpose room and will include a computer, an area for slide talks, a video screen, and exhibition cases for Fishers Island marine exhibitions. It is expected that construction work will commence this fall. Curator Horning and Board Member Pierce Rafferty study photo proofs for Fort Wright centennial exhibition at museum. With a keen interest in improving the museum's present library facilities, the donor has employed Valerie Wheat, retired librarian from the Museum of Natural History in New York. Valerie has suggested a book list of approximately 500 to 600 volumes, all relating to our collections. She will coordinate her work with Jim Righter and his architectural firm in Boston. - 2 As stated in the Ferguson Museum's mission statement (please see page 4), "research, education and interpretation of the several collections will be emphasized." As a result of this major gift, steps have been approved by the board to hire a professional "collections assessor." Alexandra O'Dormell of Art Care Resources has visited the museum twice and has written a full report with recommendations to improve the care of the collections in such areas as temperature/ humidity control, lighting and pest elimination. An upgrading to accepted museum standards is an immediate necessity and is now under way. Because of the importance of the Fort Wright centennial exhibition, which opens Friday, July 3, at the museum, the ' services of a professional designer, Kristine Hastreiter of KLH Design, have been secured. She will work with Pierce Rafferty on the fort exhibition and with Sally Ferguson and Happy Gaillard of our registrar/exhibition committee, as well as with the architects as the new addition develops this fall. With an enthusiastic board, an interested donor, Jim Righter, creative architect, and three professionals in library, collection conservation, and exhibition design, a fine team is in place. The next twelve months will be crucial to the museum's modernization and steps into the 21st century. Alexandra O'Donnell (left), Art Care Resources, and Kristine Hastreiter, KLH Designs, discuss . collection conservation and exhibition design. NATURAL HISTORY Curator Ed Horning reports that children and adults bring in "unknown objects" for his identification. Most specimens he knows and probably also the Latin name! The museum is ABUZZ, and we found out from conservator Alex O'Donnell that a bird's nest or beehive should be "deep frozen" for several days as pest control. Now we need a deep freeze, and Kay Horning will be happy to get the dead birds and animals out of her freezer at last. The museum's a "hive" of activity! Don't forget to watch for a poster announcing a July and August "Starry, Starry Night" with marshmallows and star gazing at South Beach. 12 and unders welcome with_ adults. Sarah and Arthur Bulger and Curator Horning have compiled a new check list of the birds of Fishers Island. It will be available at the museum this summer and is a fine addition to and updating of the original one by Horning-.and:—Shep- Krech in 1975— Some of -the notations in the new edition come from Lee Ferguson's bird notes. Lee, the son of Henry L. Ferguson, lived on the Island almost all of his 50 years. He was a noted ornithologist and member of the board of the National Audubon Society. The beautiful sanctuary bearing his name behind the museum was given by some of Lee's friends after his death in 1964. The least tern population along the East Coast, like the piping plover's, has dwindled dramatically. In late spring 1997 when several pairs of Least Terns began to show an interest in nesting at mid -island along the south shore, the area was enclosed with snow fencing. It is estimated that nearly a dozen pairs nested there successfully, safe from dogs and beachcombers. In 3 1998 a second atiz�inpt is under way to nurture these small terns. CURATOR HORNING KNOWS ABOUT Bones - Birds - Bees - Bats - Bugs - just ask Curator Horning. One good "tern" deserves another (but not a common and a least)! FROM CURATOR HORNING'S - MELD NOTES May 11 and 12 3 glossy ibises, 12 yellowlegs on driving range. Rare golden eagle there on May 12. May 16 and 17 Edwin and Arthur Bulger took part in the Great Gull Island Birdathon to support the work of Helen Hayes and the tern -nesting project there. The H.L.F.M. annually pledges $1 per species spotted. They counted 86! Among the rarities was a piping plover; scarlet tanager; 2 Bonaparte gulls; 6 male eiders; and .a least tern. May. 19 Warblers arriving: bay -breasted; ' blackpoll`s, vireos; Baltimore oriole; shore birds: dunlins; tumstones; oystercatchers nesting; horseshoe crabs mating. Your museum bird collection should inspire a "flicker" of interest! May 20 With J.R. Edwards and Arthur Bulger went to South Dumpling Island to count the nesting birds for the '98 Long Island colonial waterbird and piping plover survey for the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Counted L10 cormorant nests in trees (unusual` -for' F.I.); 30+ herring gull nests; 30+ black back _gull nests; 15 great egret nests; 1 glossy ibis nest and 20 adults; snowy egrets (no nests); black crowned night herons (no nests); no little blue herons as seen 3 years ago. HAWKS by the hundreds pass over Fishers in September and October. Henry Ferguson, for whom the museum was named, wrote extensive articles on hawk flights as early as 1918. 4 MISSION STATEMENT The Henry L. Ferguson Museum, founded in 1960, has for its mission the COLLECTING, CONSERVATION, PRESERVATION AND EXHIBITION of items of pre- history, history and natural history of Fishers Island, Suffolk County, New York, and for the EDUCATION AND ENJOYMENT of its winter and summer residents and its visitors, now and in future generations.

Additional missions' are: (1) Through professional archaeological "digs" to further the knowledge of coastal Native American life and to display and describe in scientific papers its "finds"; (2) Through professional, scientific studies of ornithology, bird migrations and specimen changes, to add to national ornithological knowledge using its already outstanding and still growing collection of mounted bird specimens of Fishers Island; (3) Through professional, scientific research to increase the knowledge of and cyclical changes in the flora -and fauna of Fishers Island, New York, as it relates to the environment of the northeastern United States; (4) To preserve, conserve, collect and exhibit the past, present -and future story of Fishers Island via personal letters, documents, maps, photographs, postcards and memorabilia. GOOD NEWS "(("s4v- Received a fine- gift of $5,000 from the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation for a computer. A new publication, "The Birds of Fishers Island," by Arthur and Sarah Bulger and Curator Horning. - Alicia Hesse Cleary became the newest board member in October 1997. She will be very active on the events, membership and publicity committees. We are grateful to the law firm of Day, Berry and Howard for placing the museum among its pro bono clients. Harry Ferguson donated a fine collection of ornithological books, including 15 classic life histories of North American birds by Arthur Cleveland Bent. Bagley Reid donated a welded osprey sculpture by deceased Island doctor Bill Gallaher and an oil painting of a "10 -inch Disappearing Gun" by B. Cumin. LAND TRUST The land trust committee reports that it now manages 23 parcels of Island acreage and conservation easements. About one-quarter are at the west end and the rest are at the eastern end. The committee is ever on the alert to acquire "forever natural land"; if interested, please contact the museum's land trust cominittee for details. William Olmsted Jr. referred to Fishers Island's eastern development as a "park," and his vision must live on and on. In 1998 one new trail has been developed by the Fort Wright Association. It is named for Edwin and Kay Horning and is located at Fort Wright. A trail map is available at the museum. Q 11 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. HLF Museum on H.L.
