ACTION OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS
Appl. No. 4254.
Application of DEPOT ENTERPRISES~ INC. Variance is
requested under Article VII, Section 100-71C (ref. 100-31C-4,
100-33) and under prior variance determined May 11, 1993 under
Appeal No. 4157, for permission to modify the northerly yard
setback for an accessory ball court. Location of Property: 320
Depot Lane and 29325 Main Read, Cutchogue, NY; County Tax
Map Parcel ID No. 1000-102-2-12.1. Subject premises is zoned
Residential-Office (RO) and contains a total lot area of 1.6+-
acres.
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on July 14, 1994, at
which time any and all persons who desired to be heard were
heard and their testimony recorded (no opposition was submitted
during the hearing); and
WHEREAS, the Board has carefully considered all testimony
and documentation submitted concerning this application; and
WHEREAS, the Board members have personally viewed and
are familiar with the promises in question, its present zoning,
and the surrounding areas; and
WHEREAS, the Beard made the following findings of fact:
1. By this application, appellant requests a reduction in
the northerly yard setback for the repositioning of the existing
double volleyball court, which volieybali court with outdoor
lighting was previously considered by the Board of Appeals under
Appeal No. 4157 on April 22, 1993. The setbacks for the
proposed repositionin g of the double volleyball court are
proposed to be reduced by eight feet from the original 22 ft.
setback.
2. The most recent (June 6, 1994) site plan map was
prepared by Anthony W. Lewandowski, Land Surveyor. Shown
on this site plan is the new proposed addition which was
considered under Special Exception No. 4244. That addition is
proposed at 92 feet from the westerly front property line and
86+- feet to the northerly property line, which would protrude
Page 2 - Appl. No. 4254
Matter of DF~OT ENTERPRISES, INC.
Decision Rendered July 14, 1994
onto the volleyball court area. The number of parking spaces is
shown on the June 6, 1994 site plan to be proposed at 45. There
are an existing buffer between the northwesterly parking area
and Depot Lane of approximately 12-112 feet in depth and buffer
area north of the parking area at approximately ten (10) feet in
depth. The playground area, or fence enclosure, must be
removed. The frontage of the subject property along the Main
Road is 149.39 in length, and along Depot Lane 173.13 feet.
3. The subject premises is known as 320 Depot Lane (and
29325 Main Road), Cutchogue, Town of Southold, New York,
contains a total area of 1.63+- acres, and is located in the
Residential-Office Zone District. The recreational building is
and has been used for health-club business and office use, since
its inception in 1985, when the property was zoned B-Light
Business. (Prior to receiving a Special Exception 1985 the
building was used as a dwelling and offices. )
4. At this time, the maiu building is under review for a
final Certificate of Occupancy pertaining to a portion of the
areas converted in 1985 from office and]or residential to its
present use and pertaining to the restricted use of the second
floor. Simultaneously pending with this application is an
amended site plan review before the Town Planning Board
pertaining to the new addition. (Note: A site plan map dated
4-6-84 was approved previously and signed by the Chairman of
the Planning Board on 7-19-85; also a temporary Certificate of
Occupancy was issued by the Building Inspector on November 6,
1987 for the recreation center under No. Z16374, with a notation
that the second floor be non-habitable. )
5. In considering this application, the Board also finds
and determines:
w~
feet;
(a) that the essential character of the neighborhood
be not altered with a reduction in the setback of eight
(b) that the relief as requested is the minimum
necessary to afford relief to the applicants;
(e) the difficulties claimed do not violate the
setback schedule in the Zoning Code pertaining to accessory
structures since the setback from the rear property line exceeds
the 20 ft. requirement;
(d) that there is no other alternative available which
is feasible for appellants to pursue for the volleyball court, as
noted above;
Page 3 - Appl. No. 4254
Matter of DEPOT ENTERPRISES, INC.
Decision Rendered July 14, 1994
(e) in considering all of the above factors, the
interests of justice will be served by granting the relief
requested, as conditionally noted below.
Accordingly, on motion by Chairman Goehringer, seconded
by Member Doyen, it was
RESOLVED, that permission is hereby GRANTED for the
8+- ft. setback reduction adjustment in the location of
volleyball court at the northerly setback, as requested.
the
Vote of the Board:
Dinizio, Villa and Wilton.
Ayes: Messrs. Goehringer, Doyen,
This resolution was duly adopted.

obviously as you get further from that corner it falls away at 45
degree angle, if you canter and it's not going to fall away on one
side at a 45 degree angle, you're going to, you have more of it would
be exposed. This would be optinmum placement, viz-a-vis road and
anybody driving down the road.
MEMBER VILLA: You gain five feet.
MR. CHAIRMAN: We are with the opinion that the building is going to
stay approximately in the same position except that we're just moving
that one corner over closer to the storage shed, is that correct?
MEMBER VILLA: Yeah, it might swivel a little .... , which should
make the doors more easily available from the driveway.
MR. CHAIRMAN: OK. Hearing no further comment I'll make a motion
closing the hearing reserving decision until later.
MEMBER VILLA: Second.

1000-102-2-12.1. Subject premises is zoned Residential-Office (RO)
and contains a total lot area of 1.6+ acres. The nature of this
application is the change of area that is taken away from the volley
ball court with the erection of the weight room. In our prior
decision we indicated the approximate width of the green area around
the volley ball court. When I refer to it as green area I'm referring
to as scenic easement, all kinds of phrases that we use concerning
this nature of the application is to encroach within that so as to
square off the volley ball court and the phrase could be elongated in
the opposite side. I do not see Dr. Lizewski here tonight and I would
entertain if the Board has any questions, you know we can reserve
this and request him to be here.
BOARD SECRETARY KOWALSKI: Recess it.
MEMBER VILLA: I have a question. Due to the limited space there
and not being much of a volley ball player, how can you have two
volley ball courts right next to each other, in games of progress at
the same time? I've seen voliey balls, the balls are all over the
place. Why don't they just limit it to one court and they won't have
the problem that they have.
BOARD SECRETARY KOWALSKI: We'li have to ask the applicant those
questions.
MEMBER DINIZIO: Yes, I don't think that's our problem, that's his
problem.
BOARD SECRETARY KOWALSKI: No, that's right.
MR. CHAIRMAN: I'll make a motion to recessing it to about 9:05.
MEMBER DINIZIO: I'll second it.

MR. CHAIRMAN: All in favor.
MEMBERS: Aye.
(:05 p.m. Appl. No. 4254. DEPOT ENTERPRISES, INC. Hearing
reconvened from earlier this evening.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Dr. Lizewski, thank you for coming in. There was a
question by Member Villa, concerning the size of the volley ball
court and we realize that the nature of this application is merely
the area that is being taken away from the volley ball court for the
purpose of building the weight room is then putting that portion on
it on the opposite side which we refer to as the northerly side. Is
that correct?
DR. LIZEWSKI: Yes, that's correct.
MEMBER VILLA: Joe, I'm just wondering, you've got two courts
there, couldn't you reduce the one court? I mean, the two games go
on at the same time. Volley ball is an action game and I can't see
two games going on right next to each other at anyone time anyway.
DR. LIZEWSKI: Oh! No, they do, it's a league. They play, the games
are short. There only 11 point games.
MEMBER VILLA: They couldn't reduce it down to one so that you
know, we look like we're giving them, you're giving something, and
you're not being you know.
DR. LIZEWSKI: I mean that's possible, but I, I mean it's not a, you
know the amount of sand and to move it over to one corner is, it's
not, it's not like you're putting a building on it.
Page 37 - Transcript o~-Hearings
Regular Meeting of July 14, 1994
Southold Town Board of Appeals
MEMBER VILLA: Yeah, but ---
DR. LIZEWSKI: And half of and most of that sand is 10 feet around
the whole thing that not even used. I mean there's a quarter of sand
around it. Courts are much smaller than the actual sand pit.
MEMBER VILLA: But you're actually going into that buffer area that
we had said we would, we're trying to buffer you from the neighbor,
right?
DR. LIZEWSKI: Yes.
BOARD SECRETARY KOWALSKI: What is the setback?
MEMBER VILLA: That's the problem. We were looking to try to buffer
that. Now you're taking that buffer away.
BOARD SECRETARY KOWALSKI: What is the new setback Joe? Is it
16, 16 feet to the new setback, or is it 18 feet?
DR. LIZEWSKI: It's 16. It's not a, well, you know, the actual size
of court, I could actually pull that sand back and not have a court
on that end, I mean, you know, that's, that's basically you do in a
court. The only thing that was really moved on this court was not
the actual court. It was the boarder, you would hit a ball, or rather
the end just like having a ball field and having the first base line
with a fence against it. OK, you wouldn't do that, you'd have a
little space between the fence and the first base line. So basically
what was moved to make, to make room is not a piece of the court
that is actually used as court. It's actually used as a board, you
have to have 5 feet around the edge of these courts to make them
playable for championship play. I got $14,000 worth of sand invested
in them and there, you know, you're not talking about courts that
Page 38 - Transcript o~l~Iearings
Regular Meeting of July 14, 1994
Southold Town Board of Appeals
are used a lot. You're talking about courts that are used one night a
week, and maybe eight weeks of the year. The actual impact upon
the neighbors in the neighborhood, you know I have taken great
pains with my neighbors to make sure that the lights are shut off at
ten o'clock. I frosted the lights, I didn't change the lights in it
at all that would interfere with the neighbors. There not, you know
its just not a big use. A whole year they weren't used at all. Last
year there was no league at all. This year they need one night and
they didn't go on for eight weeks. The courts themselves really don't
get ( ). The impact on the community, the impact on anything is
really very, very minimal with those courts. It's almost nothing and
so far none of the neighbors that I have, have made any complaints
and I approached them because when I put them in they were very
concerned about the lights and the noise and I don't think we keep
them on past nine o'clock. You know, I think nine o'clock at night
everybody's gone. You start at six and they're gone so its not, its
not something that causes some consternation in the community, it's
really not, but keeping them at championship to counter play, will
allow us to bring and they would oniy use one court, to bring, allow
us to bring over an actual championship group from anywhere to play
in this court. I made those courts so they were of a caliber that you
could have a pillow of light toward the turf, if you wanted to. I
hate to lose that. You know taking the one court away is, is taking
an awful lot away from the game to the kids who play there. It's not
like the baseball league where you there for a long period of time.
The games are 11 point games, they're usually over in 15 minutes so
Page 39 - Transcript of Hearings
Regular Meeting of July 14, 1994
Southold Town Board of Appeals
you do two courts because the games go so quick. They take a lot of
energy to go ( ) and then there's four more teams up. Then the
first two teams will play the other two teams. They just play, they
play a round robbin through the evening like that. But those courts
are never going to get the use that most people thought that they
would get. I'll tell you the truth, they'll never make back the money
I paid for the sand. Ever, ever, ever. They're basically a service
because the Hamptons have cut down on their courts. They lost so
much ocean over there that the kids from this shore don't have a real
good place to go to play, and
salt water sifted sand. There's
it's 14 inches deep, the sand.
most of the beaches don't have this
not a rock in this whole thing and
So, the kids who do play volley ball
love this thing. It's just a young crowd. To me it's just another way
of keeping them off the streets.
MEMBER VILLA: I have a question. Are you still in control of these
courts, or is it, .....
DR. LIZEWSKI: Oh! yes, I'm in control of these courts.
MEMBER VILLA: it's not leased to the other ( ) or any ( )?
DR. LIZEWSKI: No. The business inside that building is leased to him.
MEMBER VILLA: So, you have control of these courts?
DR. LIZEWSKI: I have control of these courts. I'm the one who has
to move them and whatever and I do have control of the courts, you
know.
MEMBER VILLA: I asked that question because you're saying it's only
one night a week, but if you don't have control over it they could
...... OK, all right, I just want to know.
Page 40 - Transcript ~Hearings
Regular Meeting of July 14, 1994
Southold Town Board of Appeals
DR. LIZEWSKI: No, you know, I have control of the courts here.
The inside of the building, this is just an additive. Basically I, I
wasn't going, in fact the league that's running it, is running it
outside of the club. Bobby Garin and some of these people who are
interested in it have their own little league and they didn't want to
go over to West Hampton anymore because they felt it was, it was as
good as what I have over here. There slowly building it up. They
have their own league, it's, it's being run as a separate entity.
MEMBER VILLA: Yeah, but see, you say things now that leads me to
wonder, you say it's one night a week, but if the league grows, it
could be five nights a week, right?
DR. LIZEWSKI: Oh! I doubt it very much. They don't have that
many people. If it did, I couldn't, I, I'd take another look at it.
The reason that I put it in (too many people talking at one time),
they utilize the two courts that I have indoors and that's really
what it was done for. It was an investment to try and get more usage
out of my building indoors in the winter so I felt that if I could
get some courts going in the summer time and last year I didn't have
one night that we played on those courts with the league. I played
on them a couple of nights myself but other than that never used, so
the kind of use that they get is really still minimal. Like I said,
if I had to fold them up, I'd just have to worry about selling the
sand. I'd probably make more money selling the sand back then I
would off those leagues. I got' $14,000 of sand in there, if you can
believe it, 14 inches thick and it had to be graded. To do those
things right you have to drop a grading on the bottom of it so that
Page 41 - Transcript of Hearings
Regular Meeting of July 14, 1994
Southold Town Board of Appeals
the thickness is the same all the way through. They're done in a
professional manner. Nobody can believe I did those courts the way I
did them. That's the way I do things.
MEMBER DOYEN: This is going to sound like a stupid question. What
kind of sand is that?
DR. LIZEWSKI: It's sifted sand. It's fresh water sifted sand.
MEMBER DOYEN: Building sand?
DR. LIZEWSKI: No, it's sifted sand. It would be what you would use
probably, it's called, it's what you call builder's sand. Builder's
sand is really soft.
MEMBER DOYEN: That's what I was wondering.
DR. LIZEWSKI: Builder's sand is really soft.
MEMBER DOYEN: Yeah, but it's sharp too.
DR. LIZEWSKI: Well, that's what they want.
MEMBER DOYEN: That what I was wondering because beach sand is
soft and round. The particles are round from beach and the building
sand is sharp.
DR. LIZEWASKI: This is, I believe builder's sand.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Isn't this the same sand they use on the swimming
pools?
DR. LIEWSKI~ Yeah. Same one they use on swimming pool.
MR. CHAIRMAN: On the liner of swimming pools.
DR. LIZEWSKI: Yes, the same stuff. There's no rocks in it.
MR. CHAIRMAN: They call that plastic sand.
DR. LIZEWSKI: And it's washed with fresh water. I know they wash
it and I know it costs about $18 a yard. That's the only thing. Like

I said the only part that was really moved was the property of the
court surface, is the periphery of the court surface. The plank
surface hasn't really changed.
MEMBER DOYEN: You know why I'm laughing?
DR. LIZEWASKI: Why?
MEMBER DOYLAN: Over to Fisher's Island it would be $35 a yard.
DR. LIZEWASKI: Again, I'll tell you the truth. If it came to the
point that my neighbors were upset about it, I'd do something about
it. It's just that simple. If somebody complained about it, I'll be
more than happy to come back here or whatever you guys want and
do whatever you want cause, the neighbors don't mind it at all. In
fact they come over to watch the kids play. But if you gave me a ten
o'clock curfew, try nine. It doesn't make any difference. They don't
stay that long. Theses kids got places to go after nine o'clock. They
don't start until after ten at night. They got to go home and shower.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Hearing no further comment, I'll make a motion
granting the application which is reducing the buffer area from 24 to
16.
MEMBER WILTON: Second.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Ail in favor.

familiar with the premises in question, its present zoning,
the surrounding areas; and
and
WHEREAS, the Board made the following findings of fact:
1. This is an application requesting permission to locate
outdoor recreational area with outdoor lighting as accesory uses
incidental to the main use of this property. Submitted as part
of this application are sketches showing a proposed volleyball
court, fence areas, and the proposed lighting.
2. The property is located in the Residential-Office (RO)
Zone District is contains a total area of approximately 1.6
acres, of which 147.39 feet fronts along the north side of the
Main State Road and 173.13 feet fronts along the east side of
Depot Lane.
3. The subject premises is bounded on the north by
residences; on the west along Depot Lane by a gasoline station
Page 2 - Appl. No. 4157
Matter of DEPOT ENTERPRISES, INC.
Decision Rendered May 11, 1993
and a house all located in the Hamlet Business Zone District.
North of the Hamlet-Business Zone is the Cutchogue West School
which is improved with the school's main building and outside
playgrounds and outside recreational areas. To the south is
the Main State Highway and property zoned R-40 Low-Residential.
4. The location of the proposed outside recreational
court and lighting is generally north of the existing parking
lot with setbacks at not closer than 24 feet from the northerly
property line and at least 30 feet from the easterly property
line. The lighting is'shown to be at each of the four corners
of the volleyball court.
5. It is the position of the Board in considering this
application that:
(a) the circumstances are uniquely related to the
property and there is no method feasible for appellant to pursue
other than a variance - particularly since a substantial part of
the buildable areas of this parcel consists of "front yards" -
that area extending east from Depot Lane and that area extending
north from the Main State Highway;
(b) the relief is not substantial in relation to the
requirements;
(c) the relief requested will not cause a substantial
effect on available governmental facilities since the areas are
not enclosed buildings and is directly related to the main use
of the premises (recreational club) and not involving a separate
business;
(d) the variance will not in turn be adverse to the
safety, health, welfare, comfort, convenience, or order of the
town, or be adverse to neighboring properties since the proposed
building will be located with an adequate setback and buffer
area from the northerly property line at 32+- feet;
(e) there will be no adverse undesirable change in
the character of the neighborhood or detriment to nearby
properties created by the location of the volleyball courts in.
the front yard area;
(f) the relief sought by applicant cannot be
achieved by another method other than an area variance;
(g) the proposed variance will not have an adverse
effect or impact on the physical or environmental conditions in
this neighborhood or zone district;
Page 3 - Appl. No. 4157
Matter of DEPOT ENTERPRISES, INC.'
Decision Rendered May 11, 1993
(h) the difficulty is related to the uniqueness of
the property and is not self-created;
(i) the relief requested will be the minimum
necessary to afford relief.
Accordingly, on motion by Member Dinizio, seconded by
Member Wilton, it was
RESOLVED, to GRANT the relief as requested under Appl. No.
4157, SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
1. That the lighting, which is proposed for seasonal
playing of volleyball, be out by 10:00 p.m.;
2. That additional screening be added to provide a
staggered (or straight) buffer, inside the applicant's property
line, for a distance of between 75 ft. and 100 ft. in length;
screening shall be with fruit trees (or similar) at planted at a
height of three (or four) feet, and maintained in good condition
at all times for screening purposes;
3. That the use of the court be for the playing of
volleyball and remain accessory and incidental to the main use
of the premises in accordance with the Special Exception granted
May 2, 1985 under Application No. 3322 for a private
recreational club. The use of the volleyball courts may not be
operated as a separate business.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Dinizio, Wilton and
Goehringer. (Absent were: Members Villa and Doyen). This
resolution was duly adopted.
