Box 1179 Southold, New York 11971 ZBA Fax (516) 765-9064 Telephone (516) 765-1809 Appl. No. 4627 — BARRY CHARLES PARCEL 1000-63-7-14 STREET & LOCALITY: 365 Peck Place, Southold DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: November 19, 1998; January 21, 1999 FINDINGS OF FACT PROPERTY FACTS/ DESCRIPTION: The applicant's property is located along the northerly side of Peck Place, Southold. The property consists of a total area of 23,625 sq. ft., with 175 ft. frontage along Peck Lane. The lot is referred to as Lot No. 14 on the Map of Harbor Homes Estates, Sec. One filed July 18, 1969 with the Suffolk County Clerk. The March 8, 1998 survey prepared by Harold F. Tranchon, Jr., P.C. shows a single-family under construction, with setbacks approved at 40.2 ft. from the southerly front property line, 35 ft. from the westerly side property line, is in excess of 35 feet from the easterly side property line, and 50.3 feet from the rear property line (at its closest points). BASIS OF APPLICATION: Building Inspector's September 10, 1998 Notice of Disapproval, which reads as follows: "the proposed addition being located on a non- conforming lot of approximately 23,625 sq, ft. in an R-40 District is required to have a rear yard setback of 50 feet, Article XXIV, 100-2448. AREA VARIANCE RELIEF REOUESTED: Applicant is requesting a 44.3 ft. rear yard setback for a proposed 20 ft. by 16 ft. open, unroofed deck ('open to the sky'D six feet past the 50.3 ft. setback of the house. No other reasons for disapproval of a building permit for the deck addition were noted. REASONS FOR BOARD ACTION. DESCRIBED BELOW: (1) The granting of the area variance will not produce an undesirable change in character of neighborhood or a detriment to nearby properties because the deck addition would extend only 5.7 feet beyond the existing 50.3 feet of the dwelling. .Page 2 — Appl. No. 4627 Re: 1000-63-7-24 (Charles) Decision Rendered 1/27/99 (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 deck replaces steps, and will also be utilized as an exit from sliding glass doors. (3) The requested area variance is not substantial because the amount of relief requested is 5.7 feet (5 ft. 9+- inches). (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. In considering this application, the Board deems this action to be 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 by Chairman -Member Goehringer, seconded by Member Collins, it was RESOLVED, to GRANT the proposed deck, open to the sky, as applied. VOTE OF THE BOARD: MEMBERS GOEHRINGER, TORTORA, AND COLLINS. (Member Horning of Fishers Island was absent as previously agreed.

REASON FOR APPEAL non Subsection 3 c �r i'r'k.' ( ) A Variance to Section (X) A Variance to the Zoning Ordinance is requested for the reason that I wish to construct a small deck on the rear of my home. The deck will measure 16ft. x 20 ft�esentThe lrearft. yarddimension backwill protrude six'feet past the house line. The p is 50.3 feet. The requirement of the code calls for 50 feet, thus the rear yard set back iftthehde k is constructed will be 40.3 feet, thus requiring a variance t e. Form Z111(Ca„linue on other side) 13 l REASONS FOR AREA VARIANCE ONLY (to be completed by applicant): Do not use these standards for "use variance" or "special exception:" (Also attach sheets if necessary, with signatures.) 1. An undesirable change will NOT be produced in the character of the neighborhood or a detriment to nearby properties, if granted BECAUSE: The requested variance involves the protrusion of six feet by twenty feet of deck area into my rear yard, leaving a rear yard set back of forty and three tenths feet. 2. The benefit sought by the applicant CANNOT be achieved by some method, feasible for the applicant to pursue, other than an area variance BECAUSE: The configuration of the house does not permit the location of a deck at any other point. 3. The amount of relief requested is-not'substantial BECAUSE It involves only 120 square feet of deck space protruding past the house line. 4. The variance will NOT have an adverse effect or impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood or district BECAUSE It involves a small area of deck space to the rear of an interior lot. 5. Has the alleged difficulty been self-created? (. ) Yes. It was essentially created when the lots were permit - x). No. ted in this subdivision to be laid out 175 front x 1.35, depth. 6.

Copies have been furnished to the Building Department as an update to their pending application and record. You may wish to contact the Building Department directly for the permit (765-1802). Very truly yours, Gerard P. Goehringer Chairman 1/29/99 Copy of Decision to: Building Department MR. GOEHRINGER Town of Southold Zoning Board of Appeals Gerard P. Goehringer, Chairman and Members of the Board Dear Ladies and Gentlemen: :1 265 Peck Southold, December Place NY 12th �[EowIE I ft Unfortunately, we are unable to attend the January meeting of the Board, but we felt it important that you be made aware of some of the circumstances surrounding our request for a variance. I make particular reference to the position of Lora Collins, which if I understand it correctly, is in essence: "Why did you not take into consideration the construction of a deck and have the architect configure the floor plan in such a way that a variance would not be needed?" At first this objection took me by surprise and .I must say quite frankly,I was not prepared to answer it completely. In the ensuing weeks I have tried to put myself in the positions of the Board, and I now see clearly her concerns. However, there exists one mitigating factor that I neglected to make clear, and that is why I had hoped to speak to the Board on December 10th. When we started construction of our home, WE HAD NO INTENTION WHAT - SO EVER OF BUILDING A DECK. The plans and building permit will bear this out. We felt that we could step out the door of the den, decend perhaps a step or two onto the lawn and there have a couple of wooden chairs from which to enjoy the back yard. At the point where the siding was being installed, we became aware of the steep drop from the rear door to the finished grade of the yard. It is four steps, approximately 37 inches. Since we built this as our retirement home, we realized that climbing these steps in our later years would not be advisable. (see attached photo of rear of house.) I should also point out that being novice home builders, we did not engage the services of an architect of our own, rather we showed the builder a "footprint" and he had his architect draw the plans. Thus as this -problem with the drop to the grade surfaced, we consulted with the builder who suggested adding a deck. He pointed out that it would not only solve the situation with the steep drop, but would enhance the resale value of our home. The next day by chance, a building inspector, John Bo ;5 (the same fellow who addressed the board on NOvember t9th) appeared at the job site. I asked him if a deck could be added to the building permit. He stated that the plans could be possibly amended for a fee of $49, or a separate permit for the deck could be applied for and the fee would be $75. The next day I visited the Town Hall to inquire about incorporating the deck into the existing building permit. It was only then that I was made aware that the setback would require a six foot variance. I applied immediately, paid the $150 fee and waited from July 22nd to November 19th for the hearing. In 1969 when the Planning Board approved our subdivision and the creation of lots 135 feet in depth, the groundwork was laid for the current problem. For if you take a 135 ft. deep lot, with a 40 ft. front yard setback, a fifty ft. rear yard setback, this leaves a balance of forty five feet for the depth of the house. This would almost certainly require the need for a variance to add a deck unless one were to build a very small house or put the deck on the side of the dwelling, both of which scenarios would prove detrimental to the neighborhood. We full well realize that a variance is permission to deviate from an existing law and it is your job to hold such deviations to a minimum. I believe that what we are asking for is just that, A MINIMAL SIX FOOT EXCEPTION. If we could have avoided it, rest assured we would have gladly done so, but as the aforementioned circumstances unfolded, we found ourselves at a loss to do so. We do hope you take these factors into account as you make your final determination. Thank you kindly for your consideration.
