As discussed in our status report to the Board dated March 31, 1997, there is one minor issue we need the Board to clarify regarding the Lane Lodge (structure B.1 on the enclosed map prepared by the Applicant's architect, James A. Thompson) and there are some minor revisions to other parts of the Applicant's Proposed Plan that we bring to the Board's attention for its consideration. Please note the Applicant is not seeking any new variances'at this time. Lane Lodge (B.1) We request a clarification from the Board regarding the number of stories contained in the Lane Lodge. We inadvertently indicated Lane Lodge was a 2 1/2 story structure on the variance application submitted to the Board last year which the Board approved. In fact, the Lane Lodge is indeed a 3 story structure and, we believe, had we indicated to the Board it was a 3 story structure the Board would have approved it as such.

Duck Inn (B.5) and Agricultural Compound (C.4) The Applicant originally proposed to demolish an existing dwelling unit (known as the Duck Inn (B.5)) which was used by prior owners of Robins Island as a caretaker's residence. However, after a more thorough inspection of this structure, the Applicant finds this building to be quite salvageable and he intends to restore it. Upon restoring Duck Inn, the Applicant intends to use it as periodic sleeping quarters for one individual. Since this structure was not considered by the Board last year, we ask the Board to modify its prior Determination to include the use of this structure by the Applicant. The Applicant is not seeking any height variance for this structure. Additionally, the size and scope of the Agricultural/ Maintenance Compound has been reduced and construction of only two smaller unattached wings is now envisioned (as opposed to the quadrangle concept originally proposed to be attached to the Workshop (C.4.1)). The enclosed map depicts this minor revision and the slight relocation of the same. No additional variance is being applied for. The Board previously approved dormitory quarters/ sleeping accommodations with a shared kitchen facility for overnight stays for four (4) employees in the existing Workshop (C.4). In light of the service and security needs to place employees in several areas of the Island, we request that the Board modify its previous Determination and allow the Applicant to reassign three (3) of the four (4) periodic sleeping quarters in this structure and permit two (2) of the employees to periodically stay in the Gamekeeper Barn (C.5) and permit one (1) individual to periodically stay in Duck Inn (B.5). This request simply seeks a reassignment of the sleeping quarters already approved by the Board and will not increase the aggregate amount of sleeping quarters already approved. Thus again, no variance 1 As for any concerns the Board may have with a 3 story wood frame structure, we addressed that issue with Gary Fish and the New York State Department of State and obtained a variance from the State allowing the Applicant to utilize all 3 stories in Lane Lodge. (See copy of variance attached as Exhibit A.) GC01:54428 35521/3 Nixon, Hargrave, Devans & Doyle LLP Zoning Board of Appeals June 2, 1997 Page 3 is being applied for. The Applicant is simply seeking a partial modification to the Board's prior Determination. Other Minor Revisions The Applicant also proposes to build an addition to the Gamekeeper Barn (C.5) to be used as a squash court (the building permit is already in place for the renovation to the barn and an amendment to the permit for the addition will be applied for this week). Also, the location of the Tennis Court (C.2) and the Horse Paddock (C.5.1) has slightly moved (see map). While no variance is being applied for either of these structures and, as stated in the Board's prior Determination, Board approval is not required for additional accessary structures not contained in the original Plan (unless, of course, a height variance is required), we nevertheless bring the minor revisions to the Board's attention and request .a modification to the Board's prior Determination to reflect them. SUMMARY The Applicant maintains that all of the requests contained on this application are consistent with the Board's prior determination, will not change the character of the Island or the community., observes the spirit of the Town's zoning ordinance and will not have any negative effect on the environment.2 Further, there will be no undesirable change nor any detriment to the health, safety and welfare of the community. Accordingly, -the Applicant respectfully requests the Board partially modify its prior Determination as described above. KSL:cm Encls. Respectfully submitted, 2 The Board previously adopted a Negative Declaration for the Applicant's Proposed Plan on February 7, 1996. As this new request is ministerial in nature and as the Applicant's minor revisions do not create any significant threat to the environment, there is -no need to require any additional review under SEQRA.

Relief Is requested from 9 NYCRR 705.2(b), which limits the height of buiidin'ga of We 5 construction to a maximum of two stodea above a basement or cellar of masonry construction. 1. The subject building Is three -stories and has a gross area of approximately 10,000 square tact. 2- Construction on the subject building commenced over seventy years ago. Framing, roofing, partitions, and windows were In place and plastaring was underway an the third boor. The building was never completed or occupied due to the death of the owner. C.? printed on recycled Caper Petition No.200r97-62 Page 2 3 The petitioner has undertaken a substantial renovation of the entire building and wishes to retain the use of the third floor for habitable oppce, as originally planned. The third floor space will have an area of approMmateiy 2,000 square feet. Larger dormerswill be constructed; to provide adequate adequate light, ventilation, end code compliant egress windows. 4. The petitioner proposes to provide a fully enclosed, rear service stair from the ground floor to the third floor. In addition to the main, unanclosed stair. S. The petitioner has agreed to Install sprinklers throughout the third floor and along the path of travel down the rear service stair to a service/mudroorn exit door. The Installation shall be in accordance with 9 NYCRR 1060.4. 6. The antlre house will be equipped with an Integrated firs- and smoke -detecting system, with central station monitoring. The Installation shall be in accordance with 9 NYCRR 1060.3. 7. The roof at the rear of the building has a -shallow pitch, and curves down to an esve height Of approximately nine feet above grade, The rnof could be easily accessed from the dormer egress windows. This affords an additional level of protection in an emergency situation. 6. The local code enforcement official concurs with the granting of the relief. Strict compliance with the provisions of the Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code would be unnecessary in light of the alternatives which are an enclosed second stairway, a sprinkler system installed on the third floor and along the path of travel down the rear service stair to the exit door, Interconnected fire- and smoke -detecting system with central station monitoring. These alternatives vAll ensure the achievement of the code's Intended objective.

Pursuant to the Southold Board of Appeals ("Board") Findings of Fact and Determination, dated March 6, 1996 (specifically Paragraph (6)(3)(d)) what follows is the status of relevant construction activities that have taken place on Robins Island during the past year and that are scheduled to occur during the next year. Although efforts to date (as well as for the remainder of this year) are concentrated on the restoration and renovation of existing structures, as discussed below, there have been some minor changes to Mr. Bacon's Proposed Plan that we respectfully request the Board's clarification on and/or consent to. Area A - Island Access Area • No action Area B - Hunting Lodge Complex Area • Mackay Cottage (B.2) is being repaired and restored (building permit in place); • Ice House (B.3) is currently under renovation (permit in place); • Lane Lodge (B.1) restoration and completion is scheduled to begin some time.this spring. As for Lane Lodge, we need a clarification from the Board. In our submittals to the Board last year we indicated Lane Lodge was a 2 1/2 story structure, while it is in fact a 3 story structure. It is Mr. Bacon's intention to fully utilize all three stories without increasing the height of the existing structure. Thus, we request that the Board clarify its approval for Lane Lodge and reflect the fact that the existing structure is currently 3 stories. Also, we had originally proposed to demolish the Duck Inn, however, after a more thorough structural GC01:51181 Nixon, Hargrave, Devans & Doyle LLP Linda Kowalski March 31, 1997 Page 2 review, we are happy to report that the building is quite salvageable and it is now Mr. Bacon's intention to restore the Duck Inn. Upon restoring Duck Inn, Mr. Bacon intends to use it as periodic staff quarters containing sleeping quarters for one individual. (See discussion below). Mr. Bacon has no intention to increase the height of the structure. Area C - Farm Center • The size and scope of the Agricultural/Maintenance Compound (C.4) has been reduced and construction of only two smaller unattached wings is now envisioned (as opposed to the quadrangle concept originally planned to be attached to the Workshop (C.4.1)). The general location of these structures has slightly moved east of the original location. • Expansion and renovation to the Gamekeepers Barn (C.5) is nearly complete. If you recall, the Board approved dormitory quarters/sleeping accommodations with a shared kitchen facility for overnight stays for 4 employees in the Agricultural/ Maintenance Compound. In light of the minor modification to this structure we now request the Board allow Mr. Bacon to reassign 3 of the 4 periodic sleeping quarters in this structure and permit two (2) of the employees to periodically stay in the Gamekeepers Barn and permit one (1) individual to periodically stay in Duck Inn. This variation will simply be a reassignment of the sleeping quarters already approved by the Board and will not increase the aggregate amount of sleeping quarters. Area D - Family Area • No action. We trust the minor modifications discussed above will not present any problems to the Board and assume they will not trigger reopening of the hearings held from December 1995 to March 1996. Accordingly, we look forward to receiving the Board's written response indicating its consent to the issues discussed above. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Also, in considering and evaluating this application, the record includes, but is not limited to, the following information and facts: a. Location of all currently proposed buildings and structures under this variance request will be as identified on the Schematic Diagram entitled "Robins Island Proposed Plan" (the 'Plan') prepared by James A. Thompson, Architect, dated November 6, 1995 and as 'more specifically described within plus or minus 50 feet of the grid location markers in accordance with the New York State's Plane Coordinate System, Long Island zone; and b. Applicant agrees to comply with all clearing and buffer retention standards and regulations as may be required by the Southold Town Trustees, N.Y.S. Department of Environmental Conservation. All roads shall be adequate for safe, emergency access in accordance with recommendations that may be made, or agreement with the local (fire) district having jurisdiction thereunder that may be entered into. 4. BASIS OF APPEALIZONING CODE PROVISIONS: Article III, Section 100-33A of the Zoning Code provides that "...in the ... R-400 District, accessory buildings and structures or other accessory uses shall be located in the required rear yard, subject to the following requirements: : A . Such buildings shall not exceed eighteen (18 ) feet in height... " Article III, Section 100-31C provides for specific types of uses in accessory buildings and structures under subsections (3) through (9) thereof (boat docking facilities, garden house, toolhouse, storage building, playhouse, pool, tennis court, private garage, parking spaces, storage of a boat or travel trailer, certain housing for certain animals, yard sales, all subordinate and related to the principal residence of the premises. Page 4 of 10 - Mar,.;.,, 6, 1996 Appl. No. 4351 - Louis M. Bacon (Robins Island) Southold Town Board of Appeals Article XXIII, Section 100-231 restricts fences (including fencing for tennis courts) to height limitations between 4 and 6.5 feet, in respective , and side or rear yard areas. Article III, Section 100-31A provides for a principal (or primary) one -family detached dwelling use in a building which meets the yard, height, and parking requirements set forth in the Bulk Schedule. The requirement for the principal building is set forth at 35 feet in height (applicable to the proposed Vacation House building in the "Plan") . 5. TOWN LAW STANDARDS/OTHER CONSIDERATIONS Among other considerations included in this variance application, the Board of Appeals is required to balance two elements: the benefit to applicant from the variance, and the detriment to the health, safety and welfare of the community or neighborhood that would occur if the variance were to be granted. In balancing the standards of law relative to these two elements, the following factors have been considered and determined: (a) The relief requested does not pose any threat to the health, safety, and welfare of the community. There will not be an undesirable change produced in the character of the neighborhood or a detriment to nearby properties created by the grant of this variance and conditions. The essential historical, agricultural and residential character of the island will not be changed. There will be no significant change in the number of buildings containing habitable quarters on the property (in comparison -to those presently existing or which occupied the island before the original ordinance was adopted). , (b) The benefit sought by the applicant can otherwise be achieved only by a major subdivision which was not encouraged by Town Departments since the whole concept of preserving the historical and residential character of the island is beneficial to all. No other method is available other than by variance approval. (c) The requested variances are not substantial in relation to the preestablished height - of buildings presently existing at the site and preexisting use of the . buildings; the proposed "Plan" is designed as a "family compound" rather than as a subdivision of individual lot owners which allows for the comprehensive management of the natural resources of the Island as a single parcel. (d) The proposed "Plan" will not have an adverse effect or impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood or district. Further, the "Plan" observes the spirit of the Town Code, is consistent with the Town of Southold Master Plan, and furthers the public interest. (Also see Negative Declaration under SEQRA adopted February 7, 1996) . (e) The relief requested is not self-created or personal to the landowner, by the fact that the island is a single lot, the needs are related to the strict application of the zoning ordinance, the unique size, and natural characteristics of the land, historic nature of the buildings and %r Page 5 of 10 - Mar(-__ i, 1996 Appl . No. 4354 - Louis M. Bacon ( Robins Island) Southold Town Board of Appeals property, as well as the isolated nature of the island, limited access, and other unique characteristics described in the above findings of fact that are not shared by all properties in the vicinity of this property and same use districts, and other facts submitted under this application. (f) The large size of this single parcel (435 acres), the isolated nature of the island with access only over water and by air, and its rural and historic character create unique requirements for accessory buildings and on-site support staff living, that cannot be found in other projects and which play a large part in this decision. 6.
