Appeal No. 4144 Application of SPECTACLE RIDGE, INC. for
a Variance to the Zoning Ordinance, Article III, Section
100-31A(1) for permission to establish second residential use in
the proposed accessory barn building (located in the front yard
area as per Appl. No. 4132A, decision rendered November 9, 1992)
as living area for family member or guests and domestic servant
{in one single unit}. Section 100-3iA(I) provides for single-
family use, not exceeding one dwelling per lot. Location of
Property: 14990 Oregon Road, Cutchogue; County Tax Map No.
1000-84-01-02.
WHEREAS, after due notice, a public hearing was held on
January 14, 1993, and those who desired to be heard were heard
and their testimony recorded;
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 premises in question, the current zoning of
this property (A/C) and the surrounding areas; and
WHEREAS, the Board made the following findings of fact:
1. The property in question is situated along the
southerly side of Oregon Road, situate approximately 730 feet
west of its intersection with Bridge Lane, Cutchogue, Town of
Southold, as identified on the Suffolk County Tax Maps as
District 1000, Section 84, Block 1, Lot 2.
2. This parcel contains a total acreage at this time of
19.07 acres; town assessment records show that it is improved
with a barn building used solely for agricultural and farming
purposes.
3. Pending with the Southold Town Planning Board is an
application for an alteration of lot line which would confirm a
proposed exchange of property of 1.78 acres (see survey map
prepared by Smith & Jung, L.S. dated August 26, 1992) from Land
of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith and ASIP to
Page 2 - Appl. No. 4144
Matter of SPECTACLE RIDGE, INC.
Decision Rendered January 14, 1993
Spectacle Ridge, Inc. (the applicant herein). This 1.78-acre
strip is shown to be 56 feet in width along oregon Road and
extends in a southerly direction 1403.70 feet, and is to be
merged with the 19.07+- acres of Spectacle Ridge, Inc. for a
total land area of 20.8627 acres.
4. By this application, a variance is requested for
permission to convert a proposed barn building, which is
presently authorized for storage purposes accessory to the main
residence, to a single-residential unit of 1700 sq. ft. of floor
area for residency-occupancy by the property owner's brother,
and possibly a domestic servant.
5. As part of this submission, the applicant has agreed to
utilize and apply at least 80,000 sq. ft. of land for each of
the two residential uses, for a minimum of 160,000 sq. ft. until
such time that a conveyance would be proposed. If and when a
conveyance is proposed in the future for either or both houses,
an application to the Southold Town Planning Board, and other
agencies, must be filed and finalized in accordance with the
land regulations in effect at the time of the subdivision and
conveyance of the land.
6. Also noted for the record is the fact that a public
hearing is being held by the Southold Town Board concerning the
acquisition of development rights (for land preservation)
involving 17+- acres remaining out of the entire 20.8 acres,
based upon the application before and recommendation of the
Southold Town Land Preservation Committee.
7. The Bulk, Area and Parking regulations in effect at
this time applicable to the Agricultural-Conservation Zone
District does require a minimum land area of 80,000 sq. ft. for
one principal dwelling (or other principal building/use).
The applicant has indicated that there will be no conveyance
proposed in the near future, and that the entire acreage will
remain in the ownership of Spectacle Ridge, Inc. until such time
as subdivision approvals have been applied for and received.
8. In consideration this application, the Board finds:
(a) that the essential character of the neighborhood
will not be undesirably affected since the amount of land area
is and will remain at 20.86 acres - which is substantially in
excess of the today's minimum requirement of 160,000 for two
dwelling units - although a variance was required to permit more
than one dwelling structure on a single 20.86-acre lot as
surveyed August 26, 1992;
Page 3 - Appl. No. 4144
Matter of SPECTACLE RIDGE, INC.
Decision Rendered January 14, 1993
(b) that the relief requested to allow a second
dwelling on 20.8 acres will not have an adverse effect or impact
on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood
or district;
(c) that the relief requested will not be a
substantial increase in the permitted single-family use density,
or cause a substantial effect on available governmental
facilities since the remaining 17.18 acres is proposed for land
preservation, and dwelling unit expansion or other development
on this property will necessitate subdivision approvals from the
Southold Town Planning Board and other appropriate agencies;
(d) although the difficulty is self-created, the
relief requested is minimal and not unreasonable in light of the
circumstances affecting this property and proposals of the owner
as described herein;
(e) that although the development rights of the
property are being contemplated for acquisition by the Town of
Southold at the recommendation of the Land Preservation
Committee Meeting (and pending at this time - see Minutes of
Town Board Public Hearing was held January 19, 1993), the entire
acreage of 20.86 acres would include 3.6731 acres for the two
dwelling units, and 17.1869 acres wouldbe available as the
remaining acreage for acquisition in the land preservation
program. (Please see survey prepared August 26, 1992 for the
whole parcel to be in the ownership of Spectacle Ridge, Inc. as
amended.)
NOW, THEREFORE, on motion by Chairman Goehringer, seconded
by Member Doyen, it was
RESOLVED, that SPECTACLE RIDGE, INC. be granted a variance
to allow two dwelling units on one 20.85-acre parcel, as shown
on the August 26, 1992 survey prepared by Smith & Jung, L.$.,
SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
1. That both dwelling units will not be conveyed
separately or otherwise subdivided unless applications are filed
with and approved (or waived in writing) by the Southold Town
Planning Board in accordance with the Chapter 106 of the Code of
the Town of Southold; and
2. That if a conveyance of land is proposed to separate
the dwelling (or dwellings) from the land preserved for farmland
if and when acquired by the Town of Southold, then the
properties must conform to the lot size requirements of Chapter
100 (Zoning) of the Town of Southold which currently requires a
Page 4 - Appl. No. 4144
Matter of SPECTACLE RIDGE, INC.
Decision Rendered January 14, 1993
minimum amount of land area applied to each dwelling of 80,000
sq. ft., for a total of 160,000 sq. ft. for both dwellings); and
3. That a Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions be
prepared in legal, recordable form and signed by the owner(s)
and their attorney, for submission to Town (Zoning Board of
Appeals), incorporating the above agreement and conditions which
shall be forever binding upon the owner, subsequent owners,
their successors and assigns, in perpetuity. After acceptance
of this Declaration by the Chairman or as amended with the
advice of the Town Attorney, a conformed copy of the original,
after filing with the Suffolk County Clerk's Office, shall be
furnished to the Board of Appeals for permanent recordkeeping
purposes~ and

REASON FOR APPEAL
Continued
1. STRICT APPLICATION OF THE ORDINANCE would produce practicaldifficultiesorunneces-
sa~ HARDSHiP because it would require additional square footage be incorporated
into the Principal Building at considerable expense ~pproximately $35,000.00)
causing undue economic hardship. The area that will exist within the confines of
the roof structure of the accessory building provides a more economical and cost
effective utilization of otherwise wasted space for the purpose of housing
family members and guests in addition to accessory uses.
2. The ha~shipcreatedis UNIQUEandisnotshared by all prope~ies alike in the immediate
vicini~ of this proper~ and in this use district because the subject property is in excess of
twenty acres of which only an"area of four acres will be developed-with principal
building and accessory buildings. The development rights of the remaining
acreage is~b~ing offered for 'sale to the Town of $outhold thereby remaining
undeveloped and open in perpetui~ under the farmland preservation, program.
3. The Variance would observe the ~irit ofthe Ordinance and WOULD NOT CHANGE THE
CHARACTER OF THE DISTRICT because this district allows for residential development
on two acre parcels, thereby suggesting the possibility of developing this
property with approximately ten (10) residences. In contrast, this proposal
provides for a principal residence and accessory residential use on the second
floor of the a~cessory building on four (4) acres with the contiguous sixtee~
acres remaining undeveloped in perpetuity. It is my opinion that this proposal
not only observes but exceeds the spirit of the ordinance in providing a maximum
of open space and minimal development.

our opinion, the market value of the property rights, subject to the assumptions, limiting
conditions and contingencies, as of August 14, 1992 is:
CONCEPT I (Fee Simple Interest - 17.24 acres):
THREE HUNDRED THIRTY-SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS
($336,000)
CONCEPT II (Development Rights Only - 17.24 acres):
ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY-TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS
($~72,000)
A definition of market value, property rights being appraised, assumptions, limiting
conditions and contingencies, as well as other pertinent facts, conclusions and
methodology are contained in the attached report. We hope you will find the details
of this appraisal report useful in your decision making process.

PURPOSE OF THE APPRAISAL
The purpose of this appraisal is to estimate the Fair Market Value of the
subject property as of August 14, 1992. This is the last date that the property
was inspected. This valuation estimate will be utilized by the Town of Southold
Land Preservation Committee to make an offer for the purchase of the property.
D. DEFINITION OF INTEREST APPRAISED
This appraisal is being made to estimate the Fair Market Value of an
approximate 17.24 acre parcel which may be purchased in its entirety (fee simple
interest) or may be partially purchased (development rights only)by the Town of
Southold. For the purpose of this appraisal it is assumed the owner has a fee
simple title to the real property, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances.
APPRAISAL PROBLEM
Spectacle Ridge, Inc. owns a 19.077 acre parcel of land at the southeast
side of Oregon Road in Cutchogue, New York. The property is presently utilized as
a vineyard. The Town of Southold is considering the possible purchase of either
the Fee Simple Interest or the Development Rights only for the southeastern
portion (approximately 17.24 acres) of the property (the subject property of this
appraisal report).
The value conclusions of this report are based on the following assumptions:
1. That a residential lot on Oregon Road which conforms to all requirements
of the zoning ordinance (80,000 square feet) could be set-off (OUT
PARCEL) from the total 19.077 acres.
2. That sufficient access to Oregon Road would be provided for the remaining
17.24 acres (SUBJECT PROPERTY).
The Appraisal Problem is to estimate the Fair Marliet Value of the entire
property (fee simple interest) for acquisition purposes, and to estimate the Fair
Market Value of part of the property (development rights only) for acquisition
purposes. The exact location, zoning and other factors are described herein. The
acquisition is in the form of a possible purchase of either the fee simple interest
or developmental rights only of approximately 17.24 acres of land, as of the
effective appraisal date.

AREA DATA
The Town of Southold, officially established in 1640, comprises most of the
north fork of eastern Long Island and it includes Fishers, Plum, and Robins Islands.
It covers an approximate area of 54 square miles or 34,600 acres. It is bounded
by Long Island Sound on the north, by Block Island Sound on the east, by Peconic
Bay on the south, and by the Town of Riverhead on the east. The "mainland"
portion of the town is long and narrow in shape, approximately 21 miles in length,
and covers an approximate area of 30,080 acres.
The main east-west routes are County Route 48 (North Road) and State
Route 25 (Main Road). The main north-south routes are in the Hamlets of
Mattituck, Cutchogue, Peconic, Southold, and Greenport. The Long Island Railroad
provides the town with both passenger and freight service. There are two Suffolk
Transit bus routes (one provides service within the town, the other to the south
fork as far as East Hampton), and the Sunrise Express bus (provides service to
New York City). There are three ferry boat services in the town, the Greenport-
Shelter Island Ferry, the Fishers Island-New London, Connecticut Ferry, and the
Orient Point-New London, Connecticut Ferry. In addition, there is a ferry from
Orient to Plum Island (disease research center) which is run by the federal
government. There are three basic utility airports in the town. Mattituck Airport
and Rose Field in Orient Point are privately owned, and Elizabeth Field on Fishers
Island is owned by the town.
The population has increased from 16,804 in 1970 to 19,172 in 1980 according
to the United States Census, and Long Island Lighting Company's estimate as of
January 1, 1991 was 19,831. The population more than doubles during the summer
months and this variation contributes to a seasonal economy. The major economic
base industries in Southold are agriculture, commercial fishing, tourism and
recreation. Approximately 75% of the hotel and motel units in the town are
seasonal, and approximately 31% of the residences are seasonal/second homes.
Agriculture is a dominant feature of Southold's economy. Though approximately
50% of the agricultural acreage is used for potato production, this use has been
decreasing recently while vegetable production, nurseries, vineyards, and horse
farms have been increasing.
For the most part in Southold, residential development has taken place first
along the shores of Peconic Bay and Long Island Sound. As the population
increases, however, the center section of the township is becoming more developed
and summer homes are giving way to year round dwellings. The present economic
stability of the area is fair. As of November, 1991, the unemployment rate was
6.3% in the Town of Southold as compared to 5.8% in Suffolk County, 7.7% in
New York State, and 6.8% nationwide. The estimated median family income in
1991 was $41,291 in the Town of Southold as compared to $47,543 for Suffolk
County. The local schools are considered to be excellent.

County of Suffolk, New York. Cutchogue is located on the north fork of eastern
Long Island approximately seventy-five miles east of Manhattan. Cutchogue is
bounded by Long Island Sound on the north, by the Hamlet of Peconic on the east,
by Peconic Bay and the Hamlet of New Suffolk on the south, and by the Hamlet
of Mattituck on the west.
Population surveys combined Cutchogue with the Hamlet of New Suffolk as
recently as January 1, 1989. According to the United States Census, the population
increased from 2,718 in 1970 to 2,788 in 1980. Long Island Lighting Company's
estimate for Cutchogue only as of January 1, 1991 was 2,624 (compared to the
1990 U.S. Census of 2,627). The population doubles during the summer months,
and this variation contributes to a seasonal economy.
The Hamlet of Cutchogue covers an approximate area of 2,200 acres. The
area is rural in nature with the majority of the acreage being utilized for
agricultural purposes. Historically, the main agricultural produce has been potatoes,
cabbage, and cauliflower. The latest trend has been a partial conversion of this
agricultural acreage to the production of wine grapes (vineyards) and ornamental
trees (nurseries). The subject property is located less than 0.5 mile northeast of
the Southold Town Landfill.
Nearby recreational facilities include numerous beaches and marinas, Old
Cove Yacht Club, Captain Marty's fishing station, North Fork Country Club, and
Cedars Golf Club. Businesses in the Hamlet of Cutchogue include a supermarket,
two banks, numerous restaurants, four delicatessens, a hardware store, a pharmacy,
and a stationary store. Cutchogue also has a volunteer fire department and a
public library.
The main north-south road is De~)ot Lane. The main east-west roads are
Middle Road (C.R. 48) and the Main Road (S.R. 25). The area is serviced by a
local taxi company, the Long Island Railroad main line (Mattituck or Southold
stations), and a bus line.
Cutchogue is serviced by the Mattituck-Cutchogue School District which
covers grades kindergarten to 12. There is also a parochial school, Sacred Heart
School, which covers grades kindergarten to 8. The local newspapers available
are the Long Island Traveler-Watchman, Suffolk Times, Suffolk Life, and Newsday.
The schools in the area are considered good. There are houses of worship for
most major denominations throughout the area.

Suffolk County, surpassed only by the Towns of Southampton (450 stores) and Brookhaven
(203 stores). According to the Long Island Business Almanac, the Town of Southold
has over 168 stores. A summary of the tourist oriented shopping districts is presented
below:

Although the Town of Southold accounts for only 1.4% of the Suffolk County
labor force, according to the 1980 Bureau of the Census statistics, Southold is a
microcosm of Suffolk County's labor force. As of November, 1991, the unemployment
rate was 5.8% in Suffolk County, as compared to 7.7% in New York State and 6.8%
nationwide. The Southold unemployment rate was 4.4% as of November, 1990 and
increased to 6.3% as of November, 1991 according to the Suffolk County Department
of Labor.
A service oriented economy requires an educated labor force to provide growth
and long term stability. Suffolk County is no exception, and according to 1980 U.S.
Census statistics, 39.64% of the population over twenty-five years old completed high
school with 17.79% receiving a four year college degree (or more). Additionally, Suffolk
County ranks 15th in the nation in service industry receipts, generating over $4.064
billion in revenues. This level of revenue is supported by a median family income which
6
experienced a 137.5% increase from the 1976 income of $20,000 to $47,500 in 1991.
The Town of Southold experienced a similar increase of 137.4% from $17,400 in 1976
to $41,300 in 1991.
Based on building permits issued, new construction activity in Suffolk County
during the 1980's reached its peak of 8,969 in 1986, then declined every year thereafter
to 7,649 in 1987, to 7,378 in 1988, to 5,159 in 1989, and to only 2,631 in 1990. This
1990 figure is the lowest in the years since WWII that records have been kept, and it
represents a 71% decrease from the 1986 figure. This downward trend is also evident
in the cost of new residential construction, which peaked in 1986 at $554.8 million,
decreased 3% in 1987 to $538.1 million, decreased 6% in 1988 to $504.6 million, decreased
29%in 1989 to $356.1 million, and decreased 29% in 1990 to $252.8 million.
The County population has increased 3.05% from the 1980 U.S. Census figure of
1,284,231 persons to 1,323,394 persons in 1991 according to the LILCO estimate, and
LILCO's projected 2000 population is over 1.5 million. Population figures for the Town
of Southold indicate a population increase of 3.44% from the 1980 figure of 19,172 to
the estimated 1991 population of 19,831, and a projected population of 26,700 by the
year 2000. The eastward migration of people along Long Island has been occuring for
years. As the eastern portion of Long Island has become more populated, it has become
more independent and self-sufficient in terms of commerce and production. Though the
real estate market is currently depressed, the prospects of future property development
appear probable based upon the economic characteristics and population trends of the
area. (Ail statistics in this section courtesy of LONG ISLAND ALMANAC, 1987-92, a

PART R: VALUATION OF THE ENTIRE PROPERTY
A. DESCRIPTION, OF LAND AND IMPROVEMENTS
The subject property is located at the southeast side of Oregon Road 733.10
feet southwest of Bridge Lane in the Hamlet of Cutchogue, Town of Southold, County
of Suffolk, New York. Oregon Road is a two lane macadam road. The property consists
of the southeasterly portion of Suffolk County Tax Map parcel 100-84-1-2 (this tax map
parcel has an area of 19.077 acres according to the Town of Southold Property Record
Card). The subject property has a generally level topography with an approximate area
of 17.24 acres (19.077 acres less 1.84 acres for set-off lot). The shape of the property
is irregular, though overall it is roughly rectangular in shape. It has an approximate
frontage of 366 feet on the southeast side of Oregon Road with a maximum width of
541 feet, a minimum width of 208 feet, a maximum depth of 1,889 feet, and a minimum
depth of 1,411 feet. There are 57 staked rows of grape vines which run the length of
the property (the plants in the southwestern 13 rows apparently died and have been
removed). With regard to flood hazard area, the subject property is designated as Zone
C (area of minimal flooding), according to Federal Community Panel Number 3608130093D
dated April 17, 1985.
According to the Soil Survey of Suffolk County, New York prepared by the U.S.
Conservation Service, the subject property is located within the Haven-Riverhead
Association (deep, nearly level to gently sloping, well-drained, medium-textured and
moderately coarse textured soils on outwash plains). More specifically, the subject
property is comprised of two soil phases. The majority of the site is designated as
HaA (Haven loam, 0% to 2% slopes) with the balance designated as RdA (Riverhead
sandy loam, 0% to 3% slopes). These soils are well suited for all crops commonly grown
in Suffolk County. The hazard of erosion is slight for these two soil phases.
There is a cistern and electric service at the center of the site's Oregon Road
frontage (Out Parcel). Utilities available include Long Island Lighting Company electric
and New York Telephone Company. Reference is made to the addendum for a copy of
the tax map.
PRESENT USE OF THE PROPERTY
The property is currently utilized as a vineyard.
C. ZONING AND GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS OF THE PROPERTY
The subject property is zoned A-C Agricultural Conservation by the Town of
Southold. This zoning district permits agricultural uses and one-family detached dwellings,
not to exceed one dwelling on each lot. The minimum requirements for one-family
detached dwellings include a lot size of 80,000 square feet, a lot width of 175 feet, and
a lot depth of 250 feet. The site meets all of the requirements of the ordinance, subject
to the building setback for each individual potential plot. Calculated on the basis of
one plot per 80,000 square feet, the subject property could yield 9 plots. A cluster
development would be required by the Town.

g. HIGHEST AND BEST USE
Highest and Best Use is that reasonable and probable use that will support the
highest present value, as defined, as of the effective date of the appraisal. The use
must be physically, legally, and economically possible and feasible. Additionally, the
use should be reasonably probable and appropriately supported. Development of the
subject proeprty as a major residential subdivision is physically and legally possible.
However, due to the property's proximity to the Southold Town Landfill, development as
a major residential subdivision does not appear feasible. In our opinion, the Highest
and Best Use of the subject property on the effective date of the appraisal is its
current use, as a vineyard, or any other agricultural use.
F. THE APPRAISAL PROCESS
An appraisal is an estimate of value. In arriving at an estimate of market value
for the subject property, it is appraisal practice to assemble as much information from
the market as is available and to properly utilize this information in forming the value
estimate. The appraisal process is a systematic procedure which is consistently utilized
in the solution of an appraisal problem. Through application of this process, the problem
is defined and the necessary data is acquired, classified, analyzed, and translated into
an estimate of value. There are three accepted methods for finding indications of
value which are utilized for the development of a final value estimate. These include
the Cost Approach, the Income Approach, and the Direct Sales Comparison Approach.
Each is based upon the principle of substitution. Ail three approaches to value have
been considered in the estimate of market value for the subject property.
The Cost Approach to Value is an estimate of the cost of purchasing a comparable
site and reproducing the subject improvements. An estimate of the site value is first
derived by a direct sales comparison of other similar sites which have sold in comparison
to the subject site. An estimate is then made of the cost of reproducing the subject
improvements at the date of the appraisal. From this cost is deducted the estimated
loss in value through diminished utility such as physical deterioration, functional
obsolescence, or locational obsolescence. The estimate of market value is the combination
of the site value and value of the improvements including all site improvements.
- I1 -
The Income Approach to Value is an estimate which is made by estimating, by
comparable rentals, the market rent which the subject property would command if rented
on the open market at the date of the appraisal. Estimates are also made of the
appropriate vacancy and expense ratios for the subject based on information developed
from similar properties in the market. An indication of the net operating income which
is attributable to the subject is developed. This indicator is the basis for any of the
capitalization techniques, regardless of which one is indicated by the type of property
or investor. The rate of return on investments in similar type properties is derived
from the market, and this rate, combined with the mortgage constant times the value
to loan ratio, will give a weighted average; from the weighted average credit for an
equity build-up is subtracted and adjustment |s made for appreciation or depreciation
if required; this will give an overall rate which is used to capitalize the indicated net
income into an indication of value by the Income Approach.
The Direct Sales Comparison Approach is a method of arriving at market value.
The components of the definition of market value indicate the factors to be considered
in attempting to estimate, from market data of sales of competitive properties, what
the subject is most likely to sell for under specified market conditions. The Direct
Sales Comparison Approach utilizes the sales of similar properties as the basis for an
indication of value for the subject property. Direct comparisons are made between the
sales and the subject on an item-by-item basis such as location, date of sale, conditions
of sale, terms of financing, as well as physical characteristics. Adjustments are made
to the sales price of each comparable property to arrive at an indication of what that
property ~vould have sold for had it been similar in all respects to the- subject property.
These adjusted sales prices are correlated into an indication of value. In most eases,
there are more than one meaningful unit of comparison for any given type of property.
After arriving at indications of value by each of the three approaches, these
three indications of value are correlated into a single conclusion of value.

J- CORRELATION AND CONCLUSION OF VALUE
Your appraisers have utilized six sales of acreage competitive with the subject property.
The sales were adjusted for land area, road frontage, zoning, grape vines, and location.
Large parcels of land generally sell at a lower price per acre than small parcels of
land. Sales #1 and #6 were positively adjusted 10% and 15% respectively to reflect their
much larger size. The other sales did not require a land area adjustment.
Sales #2, #3, #4, #5, and #6 have more road frontage than the subject property, so
they were negatively adusted 15%, 15%, 10%, 5%, and 10%, respectively, to reflect this
superiority.
Sale #2 is zoned LIO Light Industrial/Office Park and was negatively adjusted 20% for
this superior zoning. The other sales are zoned A-C Agricultural Conservation, as is the
subject property, so they did not warrant a zoning adjustment.
The subject property is improved with grape vines, as is Sale #1. The other sales are
not improved with grape vines, so they were positively adjusted 10% for this inferiority.
Both Sales #2 and #5 are subject to a LILCO easement (high tension wires), and Sale #2
is located less than 500 feet from the Southold Town Landfill, so these sales were positively
adjusted 20% and 15% respectively to reflect their inferior locatiom Sale #1 is located on
the Main Road, Sale #3 has a corner location, and Sale #6 has frontage on three different
roads, so these sales were negatively adjusted 10%, 20% and 15% to reflect their superior
location. Sale #4 does not have the negative influence of the landfill, as does the subject, so
it was negatively adjusted 5% to reflect its superior location.
The range in value before the above adjustments were applied was from $16,339 to
$25,610 per acre. After the above adjustments were applied, the range was narrowed to
from $19,208 to $19,910 per acre. It is your appraisers, opinion that the Fair Marl(et Value
of the subject property by the Direct Sales Comparison Approach as of August 14, 1992 is
$19,500 per acre, or:
17.24 acres x $19,500 per acre = $336,180
ROUNDED TO THREE HUNDRED THIRTY,SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS

F. CORReLaTION AND CONCLUSION O~ VALUE
Your appraisers have utilized six sales of agricultural rights acreage
(development rights sold) competitive with the subject property. The sales were
adjusted for time, improvements, and location.
All of the sales occurred prior to the appraisal date, so they were positively
adjusted by the annual rate of 5% to reflect their value appreciation. Market
research indicated that an annual appreciation rate of 5% was applicable for this
type of property.
Sale #8 is improved with a potato barn, so it was negatively adjusted 10%
to reflect this superiority. The other sales are vacant, so they did not require
an improvements adjustment.
Of the four townships comprising the mainland portion of the north and south
forks of eastern Long Island, acreage values are generally the highest in the Town
of East Hampton and second highest in the Town of Southampton. Sale #12 is
located in the Town of East Hampton, so it was negatively adjusted 10% to reflect
its superior location. Sale #10 is located in the Town of Southampton, so it was
negatively adjusted 5% to reflect its superior location. Sales #7, #8, and #9 are
located in the Town of Southold and Sale #11 is located in the Town of Riverhead,
so no location adjustment was necessary.
The range in value before adjustments were applied was from $8,114 to
$10,081 per acre. After the above adjustments were applied, the range was
narrowed to from $8,925 to $10,554 per acre. It is your appraisers' opinion that
the Fair Market Value of the subject property by the Direct Sales Comparison
Approach as of August 14, 1992 is $9,500 per acre, or:
17.24 acres X $9,500 per acre = $163,780

Appeal No. 4144 Application of SPECTACLE RIDGE, INC. for
a Variance to the Zoning Ordinance, Article III, Section
100-31A(1) for permission to establish second residential use in
the proposed accessory barn building (located in the front yard
area as per Appl. No. 4132A, decision rendered November 9, 1992)
as living area for family member or quests and domestic servant
{in one single unit}. Section 100-3IA(i) provides for single-
family use, not exceeding one dwelling per lot. Location of
Property: 14990 Oregon Road, Cutchogue; County Tax Map No.
1000-84-01-02.
WHEREAS, after due notice, a public hearing was held on
January 14, 1993, and those who desired to be heard were heard
and their testimony recorded;
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 premises in question, the current zoning of
this property (A/C) and the surrounding areas; and
WHEREAS, the Board made the following findings of fact:
1. The property in question is situated along the
southerly side of Oregon Road, situate approximately 730 feet
west of its intersection with Bridge Lane, Cutchogue, Town of
Southold, as identified on the Suffolk County Tax Maps as
District 1000, Section 84, Block 1, Lot 2.
2. This parcel contains a total acreage at this time of
19.07 acres; town assessment records show that it is improved
with a barn building used solely for agricultural and farming
purposes.
3. Pending with the Southold Town Planning Board is an
application for an alteration of lot line which would confirm a
proposed exchange of property of 1.78 acres (see survey map
prepared by Smith & Jung, L.S. dated August 26, 1992) from Land
of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith and ASIP to
Page 2 - Appl. No!~144
Matter of SPECTACLE RIDGE, INC.
Decision Rendered January 14, 1993
Spectacle Ridge, Inc. (the applicant herein). This 1.78-acre
strip is shown to be 56 feet in width along oregon Road and
extends in a southerly direction 1403.70 feet, and is to be
merged with the 19.07+- acres of Spectacle Ridge, Inc. for a
total land area of 20.8627 acres.
4. By this application, a variance is requested for
permission to convert a proposed barn building, which is
presently authorized for storage purposes accessory to the main
residence, to a single-residential unit of 1700 sq. ft. of floor
area for residency-occupancy by the property owner's brother,
and possibly a domestic servant.
5. As part of this submission, the applicant has agreed to
utilize and apply at least 80,000 sq. ft. of land for each of
the two residential uses, for a minimum of 160,000 sq. ft. until
such time that a conveyance would be proposed. If and when a
conveyance is proposed in the future for either or both houses,
an application to the Southold Town Planning Board, and other
agencies, must be filed and finalized in accordance with the
land regulations in effect at the time of the subdivision and
conveyance of the land.
6. Also noted for the record is the fact that a public
hearing is being held by the Southold Town Board concerning the
acquisition of development rights (for land preservation)
involving 17+- acres remaining out of the entire 20.8 acres,
based upon the application before and recommendation of the
Southold Town Land Preservation Committee.
7. The Bulk, Area and Parking regulations in effect at
this time applicable to the Agricultural-Conservation Zone
District does require a minimum land area of 80,000 sq. ft. for
one principal dwelling (or other principal building/use).
The applicant has indicated that there will be no conveyance
proposed in the near future, and that the entire acreage will
remain in the ownership of Spectacle Ridge, Inc. until such time
as subdivision approvals have been applied for and received.
8. In consideration this application, the Board finds:
(a) that the essential character of the neighborhood
will not be undesirably affected since the amount of land area
is and will remain at 20.86 acres - which is substantially in
excess of the today's minimum requirement of 160,000 for two
dwelling units - although a variance was required to permit more
than one dwelling structure on a single 20.86-acre lot as
surveyed August 26, 1992;
Page 3 - Appl. No~144
Matter of SPECTACLE RIDGE, INC.
Decision Rendered January 14, 1993
(b) that the relief requested to allow a second
dwelling on 20.8 acres will not have an adverse effect or impact
on the physical or environmental conditions in the neighborhood
or district;
(c) that the relief requested will not be a
substantial increase in the permitted single-family use density,
or cause a substantial effect on available governmental
facilities since the remaining 17.18 acres is proposed for land
preservation, and dwelling unit expansion or other development
on this property will necessitate subdivision approvals from the
Southold Town Planning Board and other appropriate agencies;
(d) although the difficulty is self-created, the
relief requested is minimal and not unreasonable in light of the
circumstances affecting this property and proposals of the owner
as described herein;
(e) that although the development rights of the
property are being contemplated for acquisition by the Town of
Southold at the recommendation of the Land Preservation
Committee Meeting (and pending at this time see Minutes of
Town Board Public Hearing was held January 19, 1993), the entire
acreage of 20.86 acres would include 3.6731 acres for the two
dwelling units, and 17.1869 acres wouldbe available as the
remaining acreage for acquisition in the land preservation
program. (Please see survey prepared August 26, 1992 for the
whole parcel to be in the ownership of Spectacle Ridge, Inc.
amended.)
as
NOW, THEREFORE, on motion by Chairman Goehringer, seconded
by Member Doyen, it was

1. That both dwelling units will not be conveyed
separately or otherwise subdivided unless applications are filed

the Town of Southold; and
2. That if a conveyance of land is proposed to separate
the dwelling (or dwellings) from the land preserved for farmland
if and when acquired by the Town of Southold, then the

MINUTES OF DECEMBER 15, 1992
Present were:
Art Ross, Chairman
Dick Ryan, Member
Gerry Dennehy, Member
Bud Cybulski, Member
Doug McGahan, Member
Ruth Oliva, Member
The Minutes of the November 17, 1992 meeting stand as read.
Art began the meeting by reading an article that Bud Cybulski submitted
from the "Common Gound." Does Farmland Protection Pa¥?--a new report
by the American Farmland Trust--summarizes two years of research in
three Massachusetts communities on the comparative economics of preser-
vation and residential development. The report finds that farm and open
lands absorb only 33¢ in government services for every dollar in taxes
they generate. Residential development, on the other hand, reverses
the flow of funds, requiring $1.12 inservices for every tax dollar gen-
erated.
Old Business:
The balance in the Farmland fund according to Mr. Cushman is $763,853.91.
Fort Corchaug - The Town Board reports that representatives of the Town
Board, the Planning Board, the Land Preservation Committee and the Town
Attorney's office will meet to discuss Fort Corchaug. Art read the letter
Mr. Baxter sent to him on December 8th amending his offer to the Town by
offering 30 acres, rather than 21.7 acres, at no increase in the proposed
price of $1,000,000. The committee studied the new map sent to Art from
-2-
Mr. Baxter. Art will write to Mr. Baxter re: his letter of December 8th.
The committee, after thorough discussion, recommends to the Town Board
the purchase of the following properties:

properties in the area. Let me get the other map out. And I

itself.
I hope I can address the concerns and issues to the
Essentially the application is relatively clear in
What we are trying to accomplish here is a family
compound on this working vineyard that these people reside in
the principal dwelling, and the accessory building barn with the
second floor also to be used for residential purposes,
specifically as mentioned in the application for an apartment
for a brother of the owner, who is also the farm-manager or the
vineyard manager, and some guest facilities. My client's
preference is to have the guest rooms segregated from his own
principal dwelling. As pointed out, the property in reality is
actually closer to 21 acres and our intention here is to convey
the development rights or sell the development rights of the
vineyard to the Town of Southold. That is already ongoing and
in process with the Town and met with, I guess, preliminary
approval, and it has been before the Town Board at this point
for their final action. Essentially, what would be done is, we
would be holding out 160,485 square feet for the residential
purpose, or purposes in this case, or essentially four acres,
four builder's acres. The remaining land of 17 acres and change
would be part of these development rights and would be in the
Town of Southold. Again, I believe the Board is familiar with
this application and what we are looking to accomplish, and I
w~ill be receptive to answer any questions or if the Board has
any comments or some feedback. I will try to be receptive to.
Board of Appeals Page 24 1/14/93 Hearings
THE CHAIRMAN: For the people who have not been privy
to this hearing, this is a culmination basically of ongoing
discussion. Does anybody have any specific questions of Mr.
Strang?
MR. VILLA: This differs from the last one in the fact
that it is now almost four acres instead of two acres.
MR. STRANG: Yes. We are setting off 160,000 feet
plus a bit to meet the criteria in essence having two acres for
each residential use, although it will be one site. The
intention here since it is a family compound, they'really have
no need to subdivide it and break it up into individual lots.
But they do respect the fact that the Town has its criteria as
to how much land should be dedicated and allocated to
residential purposes, and they are willing to meet that
requirement by setting it off with metes and bounds and breaking
it out from the land that will be conveyed.
MR. VILLA: C and R's on that that there will be no
further subdivision of that or--
that.
MR. STRANG:
THE CHAIRMAN:
It can be. They have no problem with
That is an interesting point. Which
land would be the land of subdivision, once you sell the
development rights off to the 17 plus acres, or the 16-plus

THE CLERK: It is not really being set off though, is
it? It is not being conveyed.
MR. STRANG: That is a misnomer. It is not being

THE CLERK: Okay, that is what I meant.
MR. STRANG (continuing): --As an area to be
developed with residential development where the remainder of
the land will be conveyed - Development rights conveyed to the
Town. Again, there is no intention whatsoever to further
subdivide that, break it off and make it into two lots, and it
will be no subdivision setoff or anything else. It really isn't

Page 2 - Appl. No. 4132
Matter of SPECTACLE RIDGE, INC.
Decision Rendered November 9, 1992
1. The property in question is situated along the
southerly side of Oregon Road, situate approximately 730 feet
west of its intersection with Bridge Lane, Cutchogue, as
identified on the Suffolk County Tax Maps as District 1000,
Section 84, Block 1, Lot 2.
2. This parcel contains a total acreage of approximately
19.07 acres; town assessment records show that it is improved
at the present time with a barn building used solely for
agricultural and farming purposes.
3. Pending with the Southold Town Planning Board is an
application for an alteration of lot line which would confirm an
exchange of property of 1.78 acres as shown on the survey map
prepared by Smith & Jung, L.S. dated August 26, 1992 from Land
of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith to Spectacle
Ridge, Inc., the applicant herein. This 1.78 acre strip is
shown to be 56 feet in width along Oregon Road and extends in
southerly direction 1403.70 feet, and is being merged with the
19.07+- acres of Spectacle Ridge, Inc. for a total land area of
20.8627 acres. The two acres designated on the map is shown for
the purpose of applying land area for a new dwelling. Further
application may be under review before the Southold Town
Planning Board for this two acre tract, as proposed, apart from
the entire 20.8627 acres, as well as an application pending
under the Southold Town Land Preservation Program for possible
acceptance of 18.7918 acres for land preservation.
4. By this application, a variance is requested for
permission to:
(a) locate an accessory 20' x 40' swimming pool with
accessory (cabana-type) building, all enclosed and as shown on
the September 11, 1992 map prepared by Garrett A. Strang,
Architect, for Mr. and Mrs. Mark Lieb - Drawing SP-1, Project
No. 92-10, in the west side yard area of the proposed dwelling,
approximately 395 feet distant from the front property line
along Oregon Road and approximately 123 feet from the most
easterly property line;
(b) locate an accessory barn building in the northerly
front yard, of the proposed dwelling, with a setback at least
200 feet from Oregon Road and at least 35 feet from the most
easterly property line ~ (Ref. September 11, 1992 map prepared
by Garrett A. Strang of building layout);
(c) increase height of the accessory barn building
from the maximum 18 ft. height requirement to 30 feet high (from
ground level to the top of the roof);
Page 3 - Appl. No. 4132
Matter of SPECTACLE RIDGE, INC.
Decision Rendered November 9,'1992
(d) convert the proposed accessory barn building to
residential family use on the second floor of 1700 sq. ft.
5. SETBACKS OF ACCESSORY BUILDINGS. Article III, Section
100-33 of the Zoning Code provides:
"...accessory buildings and structures or other
accessory uses ~hall be located in the required
rear yard, subject to the following requirements:
A. Such buildings shall not exceed eighteen
(18) feet in height... "
6. ONE DWELLING USE PER 80,000 SQ. FT. OF LAND AREA.
Article III, Section 100-31A(1) provides:
"...A. Permitted uses.
(1) One-family detached dwellings, not to
exceed one (1) dwelling on each lot...
(2) The following agricultural operations and
accessory uses thereto, including irrigation,
provided that there shall be no storage of
manure, fertilizer or other odor- or dust- ~
producing substance or use, except spraying
and dusting to protect vegetation...
(c) Barns, storage buildings, greenhouses
including plastic covered) and other
related structures, provided that
such buildings shall conform to the
yard requirements for principal
buildings.
7. ACCESSORY USE PROVISION. Article III, Section 100-31C
provides:
"...C. Accessory uses, limited to the following uses
and subject to the conditions listed in
Section 100-33 herein:
(1) Any customary structures or uses which
are. customarily incidental to the principal
use, except those prohibited by this
chapter.
8. BULK SCHEDULE. The Bulk, Area and Parking Schedule for
this Agricultural-Conservation (A/C) Zone District requires a
minimum land area for each principal dwelling or other principal
use at 80,000 sq. ft. The applicant has not confirmed any
intention to reserve 160,000 sq. ft. of land area for two
principal uses, and although 80,000 sq. ft. is being reserved
Page 4 - Appl. No. 4132
Matter of SPECTACLE RIDGE, INC.
Decision Rendered November 9,'1992
for one principal (dwelling) building, the remaining land area
of 19+ acres is being sold and contracted for land
preservation. Therefore, the hardship created in this request
for a second residential unit on less than 160,000 sq. ft. of
land area is self-imposed and must be denied. In the event the.
owner decides not to proceed with the land preservation
agreement and decides to allot 160,000 sq. ft. of land area for
two principal uses (two residential uses on one lot), the Board
has no objection to a new, separate applicgtion for
consideration.
9. ACCESSORY BUILDINGS AND THEIR LOCATION. Although the
difficulties claimed are being self-imposed by the applicant in
placing the dwelling at a distance near the rear yard, it is the
opinion of the Board Members that the proposed location of tke
accessory pool and accessory barn structure in the areas shown
on the plans under consideration are not unreasonable and more
than adequately meets all setbacks in the code, even those more
restrictive, i.e. principal setbacks.
10. AREA SETBACK STANDARDS. In considering this
application pertaining to the yard location of the accessory
buildings, the Board finds:
(a) that the essential character of the neighborhood
will not be adversely affected; there are no dwellings or other
principal structures in close vicinity of the subject premises;
(b) that the relief as granted will not in turn be
adverse to'the safety, health, welfare, comfort, convenience or
order of the town, or be adverse to neighboring properties;
(c) that the limited relief granted will not be an
increase in the permitted single-family use density, or cause
a substantial effect on available governmental facilities;
(d) that th~ amount of relief granted, and
conditioned, is the minimum necessary;
(e) in considering all of the above factors, the
interests of justice will be served by granting setback relief,
as conditionally noted below.
11. USE STANDARDS. However, in considering the
application as it pertains to a residential use of the
floor (1700+- sq. ft.) of the proposed "accessory barn
building," the Board finds:
second
(a) that there will be an increase in dwelling unit
density double that expressly authorized on two acres of land;
Page 5 - Appl. No. 4132
Matter of SPECTACLE RIDGE, INC.
Decision Rendered November 9, 1992
(b) that the relief will in turn be adverse to the
safety, health, weflare, comfort, convenience and order of the
town;
(c) that the use of the property is authorized one
dwelling on two acres, and a two-family use may be permitted by
Special Exception with four builder's acres (160,000 square
feet);
(d) the hardship created is personal to the landowner
and is not related to the land and its zoning;
(e) the applicant is presently negotiating a contract
with another agency of the Town to sell the rights of the
remaining 18 acres, as well as a contract to convey two acres
for individual ownership (to Lieb) from the corporation
(Spectacle Ridge, Inc.), and has an option to modify either or
both agreements in order to apply four acres of land for
two-family dwelling use;
(f) that the
a reasonable return for
the one-family dwelling
property does and will continue to yield
the uses presently existing as well as
use proposed;
(g) that the grant of two dwelling uses in two
separate structures will in turn alter the essential character
of the town by setting precedents for personal hardships;
(h) that acceptable proof of significant economic
injury was not submitted;
(i) that the relief requested is substantial in
relation to the requirements; being a variance of 100%;
(j) that the benefit sought by the aPPlicant can be
achieved by some feasible method other than a variance;
(k) that the difficulty claimed is self-created.
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Goehringer, seconded byMr.
Doyen, it was
RESOLVED, to DENY the variance requested for a residential
use in the proposed accessory (barn) building; and BE IT
FURTHER RESOLVED, to GRANT relief to locate an accessory
swimming pool with cabana and fence enclosure in the westerly
side yard area and to locate an accessory (barn) building in the
northerly front yard area with the height as shown on the
elevation rendition prepared by Garrett A. Strang, as more

purposes normally incidental to operation of the vineyard and
related agriculture-farming, or accessory storage use

Re: Tax Map #1000-84-I-2
Dear Sirs:
This parcel which wes the subject of your application under the
Farmland Preaervatlbn Program was placed on the agenda at our meeting
on February q0 1992. It seems appropriats to tell you that we have had
a substantial Increase in applications since December 1991 and the process
of review will,consume several months. Current appraisals indicate a
price per acre of something less than $8S00 for development rights in
land sucre.as yOUrs.
If these factors ere of no consequence, we will go forward but I
assumed you would want to be aware of them in your financial planning.

Dear Mr. Ross:
This letter is to confirm our conversation that I would like to add the 1.7853 acres to my
application to sell the development fights on my vineyard property on Oregon Road in Cutchogue.
I have enclosed a cen.ilied survey of the additional acres to be purchased as well as, the total acres
for purchase by the Land Preservation Committee after I subdivide the two acres for the purpose of
building my house and barn. As you'can determine the total acres to be conveyed to the Land
Preservation Committee would be. 18.7918 acres. Your offer of the appraised value of 9,976 per
acm is acceptable.
Thank you very much for the consideration you have shown in this matter.
Sincerely yours,
Mark A. Lieb
