District. If the. variance is granted, R-40 setback and coverage requirements
wo~ld be appropriate.
~onu
(Continue on other side)
REASON FOR APPEAL
Continued
I. STRICT APPLICATION OF THE ORDINANCE would produce practical difficulties or unneces-
sow HARDSHIP because the applicant desires to construct a single-family residence
on this property, most of which lies in the B Zone District, but is prohibited
from doing so even though the use to which she intends to put the property is
more restrictive than the permitted use. Part of the property already lies in
the residential R-40 Zone District.
2. The hardship created is UNIQUE and is not shared by all propeffies alike in the immediate
vicinity of this property and in this use district because the subject property lies within
tw6 Zone Districts, one'residential and one commercial. The surrounding area,
with .some exceptions, is developed for residential 'uae yet applicant is not
permitted under th~ Zoning ~rdinance to develop her property for this more
restrictive use.
3. The Variance would observe the spirit of the Ordinance ond WOULD NOT CHANGE THE
CHARACTER OF THE DISl~lCTbecause a port$on of the subject premises..already lies
within a residential district and the premises .abu't the Ra40 Zone District.
Moreover, the applicant intends a use for her property that~ is more restrictive
than the permitted uses for which the property is currently zoned. R-40
coverage and setback requirements would be appropriate in this context.

ZBA HEARINGS

June 22, 1993
THE CHAIRMAN: Thank you.
MR. HAM: In support of the application~ I will just
highlight basically what we are trying to do here, and that is
to construct a single-family residence and garage in what is now
a business district. This is different from the usual use
variance application. Normally you would 'have people coming in
here trying {o get a business use in a residential district. So
what we are trying to do actually is apply more restrictive
regulations to the property. As you know, you have received
some correspondence from two of the neighboring property owners,
Mrs. West and the Fishers Island Utility Company, which uses an
adjoining property for the telephone company. Mrs. West is in
support of it. I have spoken to Mrs.. Ahman who owns propertyon
the northeast side of the property, and she has also told me she
is in support. Her property is used as a residence as are the
West properties intended to be used as a residence, as you will
see from a letter that Mrs. West has written to Mrs. Ferguson
that I have attached as an exhibit. In addition to the property
on the west of Edwards, it is residential, so what we are doing
in effect will not change the character of this neighborhood.
Basically, it would be expanding to some extent the residential
district. We are not trying to put a residence in the middle of
a business district, nor are we arguing the other way, as is
usual in a use case, and that is to try to use residential
property for business purposes; so I would submit to you that
ZBA HEARINGS 4 June 22, 1993
the character of the neighborhood would be improved even if the
variance is granted. If it is not granted, you may have a
business here which may affect the residential area that is
contiguous to it. So what we would be doing is possibly
eliminating what might be more traffic noise in this area, and
feel it is the type of thing that the Board should be in favor
of.
THE CHAIRMAN: It is a unique request. There is no
question about it. Of course, notwithstanding that tennis court
that you had last year. That will probably go down in the
annals of unique situations. But you certainly do bring some
unique situations.
MR. HAM: Even earlier this year we were eliminating a
two-family situation, so I think from a public policy
standpoint, these types of applications are good. And also I
might add, and I have made this argument in my memorandum, that
apparently Mr. Zabohonski had a business use of his property and
he needed variances just to get setbacks; and if you look at the
purpose, and I am pointing this out, of the General Business
District, it is really for high-volume, high-traffic on major
highways, those types of uses. Obviously Fishers Island is
different from that, so it is not really appropriate then, and I
have informed Mrs. Ferguson of the letter from Tom Doherty
(phonetic) of the Utility Company, and she is willing to accept
as a condition to any variance, that she will not pave over that
ZBA HEARINGS 5
June 22, 1993
portion of the property that is the subject of the
telephone/electric easement. So she is trying to accommodate,
and she is aware, and I have pointed out the good points that
Mr. Doherty makes, namely, that there will be times where there
may be unpleasant odors, and so forth; but as I also say in my
memorandum, by granting this variance, you would not be creating
that situation. That situation already exists. By not granting
the variance, you could conceivably allow another business to go
in there on a relatively small piece of property, and that may
have an adverse impact on the adjoining residential
neighborhood, so we feel
standpoint and the Town,
with.
THE CHAIRMAN:
from both the private property owner's
that this would be a good one to go
It raises an interesting point about
sterilization, I mean, a~e we in effect, if the variance was
granted, sterilizing the property? If it is going to be used
for residential purposes. And what would be the future use of
subsequent owners, if Mrs. Ferguson chose not to use the
property, or sell the property, you know, for anything other
than a residential use?
MR. HAM: Well, I think you can condition your
variance as, at least as superseding the prior variance which
required setback relief, and therefore would still have some
control over the property if anybody ever wanted to develop it
for commercial purposes. I think if you look at that section of
ZBA HEARINGS 6 June 22, 1993
the zoning ordinance 100, it is, the business district, it so
states is designed for larger parcels on major highways with
many motorists, and so forth, so that it would be hard to
develop this property I think without a variance for business
purposes, and she is quite willing to give up the existing
variance. Whether you have to authority to --which I don't
think you do-- one would have to go to the Town Board to
literally change it forever. You would grant a variance in this
case to allow residential structure to be created. Down the
road whether that could be torn down and business put in, that
is a question I haven't really considered.
CLERK KOWALSKI: What about covenants? Are you
talking about land covenants?
THE CHAIRMAN: Well, that is basically one of the
things I think we could do --and, basically, that is what you
said.
MR. HAM: I said --
THE CHAIRMAN: The reason why I say that, this is a
unique situation. A very, very small amount of people--
MR. HAM: You usually have somebody coming the other
way.
THE CHAIRMAN: Always the other way, sure. I mean you
are upzoning a property, is what you are doing. In use, not in
zoning, okay.

MEMBER WILTON: What is the supply of business zoned
property on Fishers Island?
MR. HAM: It is really spotty.
was, where it was, drew the line. And as
I think what they did
I say, the property on
the northeast here, which is identified as Ahman, that was
Gordon Ahman's real estate office, and he has since died, and
his wife is in the house and she is fully in support obviously
of any residential neighbor, would tend to support something'
like this. Whether my client would be willing to, who knows
circumstances --these are her intentions. In fact, she wants to
start building yesterday a residence here. So whether a
covenant would be palatable, certainly a condition to the
variance that no, or even if it were necessary to file a
covenent stating that that easement would not be paved over to
make it accessible tO the electric company, would be acceptable;
but circumstances change so--
MEMBER WILTON: There should also be some reference as
to noise and odors from the utility company.
MR. HAM: You mean acknowledging that fact, that is
pre-existing. Again, I think it is enough to put it in a
variance that you might grant to this property. To file it, I
know with Planning Board matters, we have been required to file
when we are within one mile of Elizabeth Airport, the covenant
ZBA HEARINGS 8
June 22, 1993
that we recognize that there is noise there, just so they don't
come back and complain; but I would think it would be enough to
put it in any grant of the variance. Obviously we try to avoid
burdening the property with an additional covenant; and I think
obviously anyone who acquires this property would take subject
to at least constructive knowledge that a variance has been
granted and has certain conditions, but if that is necessary, I
could obviously tell her.
THE CHAIRMAN: The concern is this: And I think it
was clearly stated in a symmetrical nature, and that was that if
she chose to either sell the property, or if whatever reason the
house ultimately wanted to be business, right, I am not sure it
would meet the specific criteria, and that is where my concern
is, so I think possibly a covenant would be in order.
MR. HAM: What specific criteria do you mean?
THE CHAIRMAN: Well, you know it is not built for
wheelchair use; it is not built, doesn't have this, doesn't have
that. This is a residential structure, okay?
MR. HAM: I see.
THE CHAIRMAN: And that is what my concern is, all
right? I personally --and I am not speaking for my fellow Board
members nor do you see the Board member from Fishers Island
here-- I don't have any problems with a zoning use, which is
what we are actually doing here; but I do think that a covenant
in reference to this particular building is in order, right.
ZBA HEARINGS

June 22, 1993
MR. HAM: As long as it can state that if it ever is,
you know, I don't want to abandon completely because who knows
what is going to happen.
THE CHAIRMAN: Well, as per the building, yes. Okay,
I am not asking you to take away the zoning underwrapping but
why don~t you draft up something for us, and we will review it,
in reference to and have the Town Attorney review it, in
reference to the use of the dwelling, and we are specifically
referring to it as a dwelling because it is going to be a
dwelling.
MR. HAM: Ail right.
CLERK KOWALSKI: You are saying if they should go to
business use, they can convert as long as--
THE CHAIRMAN (interposing): No, they can't convert.
CLERK KOWALSKI: What are you saying then?
THE CHAIRMAN: I am saying that they may have to tear
the building down or modify it to a certain degree, that it is
going to be--
MR. HAM (continuing): If that dwelling is put there,
and if this property is ever converted to business use, that it
will have to comply with whatever regulations--
THE CHAIRMAN: And it would have to come back here and
we would have to relieve that original condition that we did.
MR. HAM: All right. So you want--
ZBA HEARINGS
10 June 22, 1993
CLERK KOWALSKI: What about the use variance criteria
that have to be met though? Such as economic return and so on?
THE CHAIRMAN: I am not so sure that that is
particularly in order in reference to an upzone situation.
MR. HAM: I have put in an argument, you mean under
the Town~ law, what your mandate is.
CLERK KOWALSKI: The variance would apply. I would
check into it.
MR. HAM: I have -- you will see in my memorandum, I
have addressed that to some extent, short, however, of going
through extensive appraisals and so forth. But I make the
argument basically that Fishers Island is unique, it is
different; it is not intended for this. People would want to
use their property on Fishers primarily for residential
purposes. That is its value. Zabohonski got a variance to put
a commercial building there, never did so. It was not sold to
someone who wanted to develop it for business.
CLERK KOWALSKI: But you are saying it might be sold
in the future for business, too, right?
MR. HAM: I don't want to rule that out, no. For all
I know--
there,
someone else who,
CLERK KOWALSKI: Okay.
MR. HAM: My client intends to build a residence
live there for the rest of her life, or sell it to
having put substantial improvements there,
ZBA HEARINGS
11 June 22, 1993
would also use it for a residence. You are quite correct in
saying that there are standards under the Town Law for granting
use variances that do involve economic benefit, and I think that
our burden should be, as Jerry said, much less in this case
where we are upzoning to prove that. If you find that you would
need appraisals as to how this really can't be sold as a
business property or developed as a business property, I mean
people go to Fishers Island to escape that; and as I point out,
the purpose of this general business district is for large
parcels with heavy traffic. If you look at that section, it
just is not appropriate for this parcel, is my argument.
THE CHAIRMAN: Why don't you put the "whatdoyou
callits" together for us; what I think we really should do is
take a trip over there.
CLERK KOWALSKI: We don't have photographs.
THE CHAIRMAN (continuing) --within the next couple
weeks; and we have done that before. It is just that our
Fishers Island Board member is away, and I think that is what we
will do. We will take a trip over there.
MR. HAM: Meantime do you want me to prepare some sort
of a covenant?
THE CHAIRMAN: A covenant. Please do. All right.
Then we will submit that whole thing.
ZBA HEARINGS

This is an up-class, all
CLERK KOWALSKI:
we are talking about.
MR. HAM: In particular now, this covenant is really
just so they can't do both? Or is it just that you don't want
them at all to be able to revert back to business?'
THE CHAIRMAN: I don't want the house to revert back
to a business without two things, the relieving of whatever, if
we are iDclined to do so, all right; we may not be inclined to
do so based upon the review of this, okay? And, Number Two,

MR. HAM: We're not entitled to have a business if
they have this residence.
THE CHAIRMAN: This is not necessarily an upzone.
right. And that is my opinion.
There is only one use on the property
MR. HAM: At any given time. If it ever were to
revert to business, they either would have to level it
completely or adapt it.
MEMBER DINIZIO: If you are going to write covenants,
you are going to write, to restrict your use as a right. In
other words, if you have a business piece of property, you have
as a right to be able to put a piece of business in there
regardless; and we really can't take that away.
MR. HAM: That's right. That's what I don't want to
give that up at this point. I am willing, however, to say that
if and when it ever is used for business purposes, that we will
ZBA HEARINGS 13 June 22, 1993
come back to you with the --we would need apparently, with that
easement there, and the more restrictive setbacks that are
required, except for side yards, I guess.
THE CHAIRMAN: And site plan and parking.
MR. HAM: We are willing to do that, but I don't want
to, because we feel we are doing something positive-- Who knows
down the road what some future owner may want to do.
THE CHAIRMAN: Thank you. Is there anybody else who
would like to speak in favor of this?
(There was no response.)
THE CHAIRMAN: Against it? Seeing no hands, I make a
motion recessing this hearing to the next regularly scheduled
meeting pending both a review of the data requested from the
attorney Mr. Stephen Ham and a trip to Fishers Island in
reference to a field location.
(Seconded and carried; see Clerk's Minutes.)
To the Board of Appeals, Town of Southold:
I own property on Fishers Island, New York, adjacent to
property owned by Janet Ferguson.
I have just received your notice regarding the
variance requested for Ms. Ferguson's property, on the
west side of Central Avenue, Fishers Island, New York.
The variance will enable construction of a single-
family dwelling in the B-zone district subject to
coverage and setback requirements of the R-40 zone
district. I have discussed this matter with Ms.
Ferguson's Attorney, Stephen L. Ham, of 45 Hampton
Road, Southampton, NY. I told him I had no objection to
the variance sought by Ms. Ferguson, and he suggested I
write to you so stating. Herewith, my letter.
Sincerely Yours,

MEMORANDUM TO:
FROM:
RE:
Zoning Board of Appeals
Stephen L. Ham, III
Application No. 4172;
Janet Ferquson at Fishers Island
I am submitting this .Memorandum in support of the
application of Janet Ferguson for a variance to permit the
construction of a single-family residence and garage on her
property located on the westerly side of Central Avenue at
Fishers Island (SCTM # 1000-6-8-6).
FACTS:
The subject premises are located primarily within the
General Business (B) District and partly within the Low-Density
Residential R-40 District under the Southold Town Zoning Code.
The premises adjoin parcels of West and Ahman on the north,
Edwards on the west, Fishers Island Utility Company, Inc. on the
south and Central Avenue on the east. The Ahman parcel lies
within the B District but is improved with a single-family
residence that once also served as the owner's real estate
office. The West parcel lies within both the B District and the
R-40 District and is unimproved at this time; however, as
indicated
Exhibit A,
property.

parceL.contains
Island Electric
by the letter to the applicant attached hereto as
the owner intends to make residential use of her
The Edwards parcel lies within the R-40 District and
with a single-family residence. The Utility Company
a pgwer generating, plant operated by The Fishers
Company. A ten-foot-wide easement in favor of
the Utility Company traverses the easterly portion of the subject
premises.
The premises were the subject of a prior appeal to the
Zoning Board, decided March 8, 1973 (No. 1705), at a time when
the same were located in the Heavy Commercial District. By that
decision, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit B, the Board
granted permission to construct a building for business use at
this site with reduced setbacks from those that would otherwise
have been required. Those setbacks were 25 feet from the
northerly line, 15 feet from the southerly line, 25 feet of rear
yard from a fill pit and 5 feet from the Utility Company
easement.
Notwithstanding the current zoning and variance that
would permit a business use or uses at this site, the applicant
would like to utilize her property for residential purposes and,
in that regard, proposes to construct a single-family dwelling
and garage as shown on the plan submitted with this application.
Setback and lot coverage requirements would be consistent with
the R-40 District which adjoins the premises and in which the
premises are partially located.
ARGUMENT:
The variance should be granted because the current
zoning regulations and restrictions have caused unnecessary
hardship in that: (1) the economic benefit to be derived from
this site for business purposes is marginal at best and, for this
applicant, non-existent; (2) the applicant's position in owning
property lying in both a residential zone and business zone is
unique since she is not permitted to develop her property in
accordance with the regulations applicable to the more
restrictive zone; (3) the requested variance, if granted, would
not alter the essential character of the neighborhood; and (4)
no actions of the applicant have created the situation requiring
this request for relief.
DISCUSSION:
1. Economic Benefit.
The purpose of the General Business (B) District is to
provide for retail and wholesale commercial development and
limited office and industrial development, generally along major
highways, and to accommodate uses that benefit from large
numbers of motorists and that need fairly large parcels of land.
Southold Town Zoning Code Sec. 100-100.
With
population that
characteristics
Fishers Island
a very small year-round population and a summer
flocks to its second homes in part to avoid the
the B District was designed to accommodate,
is not well-suited for business development,
particularly development for uses that benefit from large numbers
of motorists along major highways. Moreover, as evidenced by
Appeal No. 1705, despite its location in the Heavy Commercial
District, concessions had to be made to make this relatively
small parcel suitable for business use. Had the then owner
constructed the building for which he was granted permission, he
would have had to have used a nearby parcel to satisfy parking
requirements. Even with the concessions he received, he never
proceeded with the construction and the property was ultimately
sold five years later by his surviving spouse to the applicant
who hoped one day to build a residence on it, not to someone who
intended to make business use of it. Economic considerations
have certainly played some role in the failure of the property to
be developed or sold for business purposes.
In summary, the purposes for which the B District
zoning are intended are not appropriate for the development of
this relatively small parcel of land located on remote Fishers
Island. Economic considerations have certainly been a factor in
its never having been developed for a business use. In view of
the foregoing and particularly since this property adjoins and is
located partially within a residential district, its true
economic value (and obviously its value to this applicant) lies
in its potential for improvement by a single-family residence and
not by a business use requiring heavy traffic.
4
2. Unique Characteristics.
As previously noted, the subject premises lie primarily
in the B District but partially within the R-40 District.
Although this appears to be the case with the West parcel, that
parcel apparently lies more within the R-40 District. In any
event, this situation is unique in that the applicant is
requesting that the regulations of the more restrictive zone
district be applied in this instance.
If the relief requested is granted, then the applicant
will develop the property for residential purposes and in
compliance with the requirements of the R-40 District. Those
requirements are generally much more restrictive than those of
the B District and those that were granted in Appeal No. 1705.
Lot coverage is limited to 20% rather than 30% and the rear yard
setback is 50 feet rather than 35 feet under the Southold Town
Zoning Code or 25 feet pursuant to the previous variance.
Moreover, the property will be developed with a single-family
residence rather than with one of the many businesses that would
be permitted as of right, all of which would involve a great deal
more noise and traffic.
In light of the foregoing, it is not surprising that,
of the neighboring property owners who have responded to the
notice of appeal, those who use or intend to use their
properties for residential purposes are in support of it and the
one business owner favors the application subject to minor
conditions. The Board is in receipt of correspondence from Lily
Emmet West and The Fishers Island Utility Company; the former
owner fully supports the application and the latter would support
it conditionally. In addition, Mrs. Ahman called me to express
her support. She occupies a residence, also within the B
District, adjoining the subject premises on the northeast. That
residence at one time also served as her husband's real estate
office but is currently used for residential purposes only.
The circumstances of this case are quite the opposite
of those normally present in an application for a use variance
where an owner typically requests relief to permit a commercial
use of property in a residential zone. Accordingly, the
applicant's burden of proving unnecessary hardship should be much
less than that of the owner in the usual situation.
3. Character of the Neiqhborhood.
With the subject premises adjoining and even lying
partly within a residential zone, the character of the
neighborhood should not be affected if the variance is granted.
As previously noted, the owner of the West parcel, which also
lies partly within the B District, intends to develop her parcel
for residential purposes and the Ahman parcel, which lies within
the B District, is already improved with a residence. The
Edwards parcel to the west is within the R-40 District and is
improved with a residence. Indeed, it could be argued that not
granting the variance, resulting in a possible business use of
the subject premises, would have an adverse effect on the
adjoining residential neighborhood.

While the Utility Company raised issues of noise, odors
and emergency situations that might involve digging in the
easement area on the subject premises, those are possible adverse
effects already present. They would not result from the instant
proposal. The applicant has been made aware of them and still
wishes to proceed. In fact, she is willing to accept, as a
condition to the granting of a variance, the Utility Company's
recommendation that the portion of her driveway in the easement
area not be covered with a permanent surface such as asphalt or
concrete.
Finally, it is important to focus on the fact that the
result of a variance in this case would be to increase the size
of a residential neighborhood that the subject premises already
adjoin, not to permit a residence in an area surrounded by
business uses or to permit a business use in an area surrounded
by residences.
4. Self-Created Hardship.
The circumstances peculiar to the subject premises have
necessitated this request for relief. Although she purchased the
property with at least constructive knowledge that a residential
use was not permitted under the Zoning Code, the applicant's
right to relief is the same as that of any prior or future owner.
The hardship
regulations to
prior benefit
results solely from application of the zoning
this particular piece of property and not from any
the applicant may have derived or any illegal acts
she may have engaged in, the usual situations where the
principles of self-created hardship apply.
CONCLUSION:
The requested variance, to permit the construction of a
single-family residence and garage on the subject premises with
the lot coverage and setback requirements of the Residential R-40
District, should be granted.

EXHIBIT A

Dear Ms. Ferguson,
I received today a letter from Stephen Ham, of
Southampton, regarding a variance which you are ask%ng
from the Southold Board of Appeals, for a piece of land
you own in Fishers Isiand, NY, so that you can
construct a single-family dwelling. I have sent Mr. Ham
a letter that he can forward to the board of my behalf,
in which I say that as owner of the adjacent parcel of
land on Fishers Island I have no objection to the
variance you seek: I also told Mr. Ham that I intended
to ask you about your proposed driveway. I hope to
build a small house on my own piece of land sometime
~urlng the next few years. From my point of view, the
driveway you plan would be ideal as a driveway entrance
to my own piece of land: I wonder whether you might be
interested in giving me some kind of easement so that I
could use the road as well, in exchange for sharing the
expenses of making the road, and whatever additional
fee seemed mutually advantageous. I can, of course,
appreciate that such a scheme may not interest you at
all: however, if you think the idea might have some
merit from your point of view, it seems to me we might
both benefit. I do have an alternative access from
Madeline Avenue, so I am not in any way trying to back
you into a corner. Whatever you decide about the road,
I wish you the best of luck in construction of your
house, and look forward to being your neighbor.
Yours Sincere l_~f_~
Lily West.

Re: Petition of Janet A. Ferguson
Dear Members,
The Fishers Island Utility Company is in receipt of the Petition of
Janet A. Ferguson in regards to the construction of a single family
dwelling on property located adjacent to the Fishers Island Electric
Company plant. While not fully opposed to the construction of the
proposed dwelling, we wish to express a few concerns at the beginning of
this process, in order to avoid unnecessary confrontation after the
completion of the project.
1. At times, during an emergency situation, the Fishers Island
Electric company is forced to generate its own power. During these times,
very large diesel engines are in operation and can cause excessive noise.
In addition, depending on wind conditions, the exhaust emitted from these
engines can cause an unpleasant odor.
2. Also at times, during an emergency situation, power outages
occur on the Island. During these instances, heavy trucks and equipment
will be travelling into and out of the parking area located adjacent to the
proposed dwelling. Obviously, these outages occur at various times of the
day and night.
3. Finally, the right-of-way granted to the Fishers Island Electric
Company has been established to protect the main feed cable which
transports the Island's electricity from the submarine cable connection to
Groton, Conn. The Electric Company would request that absolutely no
digging or trenching be done in this right-of-way without prior
consultation with the Company, and also that in order to provide
continuous access, the finish topping at grade level be of a trenchable
material, grass or gravel; and not of a permanent material such as asphalt
or concrete.
The Fishers Island Utility Company, as parent company of The Fishers
Island Electric Company, would hope that these concerns are passed along
to the landowner of the proposed dwelling. Although, not major concerns,
these items are sometimes the minor irritants that develop into bad
relations among neighbors. We feel it best to discuss them ~up front".
Should we be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to
contact us at any time.

Re: Appl. No. 4172 - Janet A. Ferguson
Dwelling in the B-General Business Zone
Dear Mr. Ham:
For your information and update, please find attached a
copy of Local Law No. 11 -1993 enacted by the Southold Town Board
on July 13, 1993. It is our understanding that this Local Law
has been transmitted to the Secretary of State and will be
effective upon its filing, first for most properties in the Town
(those not located within 500 feet of a village or town line, or
sound, bay or other estuary), and shortly thereafter for the
remaining properties after the County has finalized its
determinations under the Suffolk County Administrative Code.
As you know, the public hearing on this matter was
advertised to reconvene on July 22, I993. Unless otherwise
requested by you, the application will be considered closed and
noted as withdrawn, or moot, since the new law allowing a
'dwelling in the B-Business zone was passed prior to a
determination on the variance and a variance is no longer
necessary.
Very truly yours,
