Oage 2 - Appl. No. 3882
Matter of BIDWELL WINERY
Decision rendered February 15, 1990
3. Article III, Section 100-30, The purpose of the
Agricultural-Conservation (A-C) District and the Low-Density
Residential R-80, R-120, R-200 and R-400 Districts is to
reasonably control, to the extent possible, prevent the
unnecessary loss of those currently open lands within the town
containing large and contiguous areas of prime agricultural
soils which are the basis for a significant portion of the
town's economy and those areas with sensitive environmental
features, including aquifer recharge areas and bluffs. In
addition, these areas provide the open rural environment so
highly valued by year-round residents and those persons who
support the Town of Southold's recreation, resort and second-
home economy. The economic, social and aesthetic benefits which
can be obtained for all citizens by limiting loss of such areas
are well documented and have inspired a host of governmental
programs designed, with varying degrees of success, to achieve
this result. For its part, the town is expending large sums of
money to protect existing farm acreage. At the same time, the
town has an obligation to exercise its authority to reasonably
regulate the subdivision and development of this land to further
the same purposes while honoring the legitimate interests of
farmers and other farmland owners.
4. Also noted for the record under Appeal No. 3732 for a
Winery for the Production and Retail Sale of Wine. In this
Decision rendered July 14, 1988 it states:
(a) The area proposed for retail sales is to be not more
than 400 sq. ft. as marked in "red" on the Proposed Sketch
Drawing prepared by Guldi & Showers dated May 31, 1988 under
Drawing No. A-1.
5. In considering this application, the Board finds and
determines:
(a) that the use will not prevent the orderly and
reasonable use adjacent properties or of properties in adjacent
use districts;
(c) that the Special Exception will not in turn cause a
substantial effect on the safety, health, welfare, comfort,
convenience and/or order of the Town;
(d) that in carefully considering the record and all the
above factors, the interests of justice will be served by
granting the Special Exception, as applied conditionally noted
below.
Accordingly on motion by Mr. Grigonis, seconded by Mr.
Dinizio, it was
Page 3 - Appl. No. 3882
Matter of BIDWELL WINERIES
Decision rendered February 15, 1990
RESOLVED, to GRANT a Special Exception in the matter of
application of BIDWELL WINERIES as applied under Appeal No.
3882, SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
the
1. That the Winery sell their wine product in the 20 X 20
building presently located in the front of the building,
conditionally for three (3) years from date of this decision.
2. This Decision is subject to Site Plan Approval by the

resolution was duly adopted.

September 6,1989
On August 29, 1989 I called Mr. Kerry Bidwell regarding his
letter of August 21, 1989. I informed Mr. Bidwell that the
retail sales of wine was not permitted under his special
exception. I informed Mr. Bidwell that a new site plan will
have to be submitted in addition to a variance from the board of
appeals.
Mr. Bidwell said he would comply with both requests.
On August 18, 1989 Mr. Vicent Wieczorek, ordinance
inspector, visited the winery to inspect the retail sales
operation; and found it to be in operation.

ACTION OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS
Appl. No. 3882
Matter of BIDWELL WINERIES. Special Exception to the
Zoning ordinance, Article III, Section 100-30, for approval of
consumer tasting and retail sales from the winery. Property
Location: Route 48, Cutchogue, County Tax Map No. 1000, Section
96, Block 4, Lot 4.3.
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held and concluded on
February 1, 1990 in the matter of the Application of BIDWELL
WINERIES, under Appeal No. 3882; and
WI~EREAS, at said hearing all those who desired to be heard
were heard and their testimony recorded; and
WHEREAS, the Board Members have personally viewed and are
familiar with the premises in question, its present zoning, and
the surrounding areas; and
WHEREAS, the Board made the following findings of fact:
1. The premises in question is located along the south
side of Route 48, Hamlet of Cutchogue, and is identified on the
Suffolk County Tax Maps as District 1000, Section 96, Block 4,
Lot 4.3.
2. This is an application for Special Exception from the
Zoning Code Article III, Section 100-30, for approval of
consumer tasting and retail sales from the winery.
~age 2 Appl. No. 3882
Matter of BIDWELL WINERY
Decision rendered February 15,
1990
3. Article III, Section 100-30, The purpose of the
Agricultural-Conservation (A-C) District and the Low-Density
Residential R-80, R-120, R-200 and R-400 Districts is to
reasonably control, to the extent possible, prevent the
unnecessary loss of those currently open lands within the town
containing large and contiguous areas of prime agricultural
soils which are the basis for a significant portion of the
town's economy and those areas with sensitive environmental
features, including aquifer recharge areas and bluffs. In
addition, these areas provide the open rural environment so
highly valued by year-round residents and those persons who
support the Town of Southold's recreation, resort and second-
home economy. The economic, social and aesthetic benefits which
can be obtained for all citizens by limiting loss of such areas
are well documented and have inspired a host of governmental
programs designed, with varying degrees of success, to achieve
this result. For its part, the town is expending large sums of
money to protect existing farm acreage. At the same time, the
town has an obligation to exercise its authority to reasonably
regulate the subdivision and development of this land to further
the same purposes while honoring the legitimate interests of
farmers and other farmland owners.
4. Also noted for the record under Appeal No. 3732 for a
Winery for the Production and Retail Sale of Wine. In this
Decision rendered July 14, 1988 it states:
(a) The area proposed for retail sales is to be not more
than 400 sq. ft. as marked in "red" on the Proposed Sketch
Drawing prepared by Guldi & Showers dated May 31, 1988 under
Drawing No. A-1.
5. In considering this application, the Board finds and
determines:
(a) that the use will not prevent the orderly and
reasonable use adjacent properties or of properties in adjacent
use districts;
(c) that the Special Exception will not in turn cause a
substantial effect on the safety, health, welfare, comfort,
convenience and/or order of the Town;
(d) that in carefully considering the record and all the
above factors, the interests of justice will be served by
granting the Special Exception, as applied conditionally noted
below.
Accordingly on motion by Mr. Grigonis, seconded by Mr.
Dinizio, it was
Page 3 - Appl. No. 3882
Matter of BIDWELL WINERIES
Decision rendered February 15, 1990
RESOLVED, to GRANT a Special Exception in the matter of the
application of BIDWELL WINERIES as applied under Appeal No.
3882, SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
1. That the Winery sell their wine product in the 20 X 20
building presently located in the front of the building,
conditionally for three (3) years from date of this decision.
2. This Decision is subject to Site Plan Approval by the
Southold Town Planning Board.
Vote of 'the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Goehringer, Grigonis,

resolution was duly adopted.

(XX) A Variance Io the Zoning Ordinance
( )
is requested for the reason that
In it's decision on the above referenced matter
the Zoning Board of Appeals ruled that application for a special exception must be
made so that the winery may conduct retail sales and consumer tastings at the
Route 48 location.
~orm ZBI (Continue on other side)
REASON FOR APPEAL
Continued
I. STRICT APPLICATION OF THE ORDINANCE would produce practical difficulties or unneces-
sary HARDSHIP because
Tastings and sales at the winery are essential in the building of
consumer awareness of our wines, and ultimatly determine the future success of our
endeavor.
2 The hardship created is UNIQUE and is not shared by all properties alike in the immediate
vlcinily of this property and in this use district because
A winery (and the vineyards it supports) is a unique form of agricul-
tural enterprise in that the winery is the end user of the vineyard's production
(grapes).
3 The Variance would observe the spirit of the Ordinance and WOULD NOT CHANGE THE
CHARACTER OF THE DISTRICT because
We are essentially an agricultural entity. The vineyards which depend
upon the winery for support are a permanent form of agriculture and are an invest-
merit in the future agricultural identity of the District.

Upon Application of ROBERT E. BIDWELL for a Special
Exception to the Zoning Ordinance, Article III, Section
100-30B(14) for a Winery for the Production and Retail Sale of
Wine Produced fro~"Grapes Primarily grown at the Bidwell Vine-
yards, premises located at the South Side of C.R. 48, Cutchogue,
NY; County Tax Map Parcel No. 1000-96-4-4.3 (prev. p/o 4.1).
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on June 2, 1988, in the
Matter of the Application of ROBERT E. BIDWELL under Appl. No.
3732; and
WHEREAS, at said hearing all those who desired to be heard
were heard and their testimony recorded; and
WHEREAS, the Board has carefully considered all testimony
and documentation submitted considered this application; and
WHEREAS, the Board Members have personally viewed and are
familiar with the premises in question, its present zoning, and
the surrounding areas; and
WHEREAS, the Board made the following findings of fact:
Page 2 - Appl. No. 3732
Decision Rendered Ju , 1988
Matter of ROBERT E. BIDWELL
1. The property in question is identified on the Suffolk
County Tax Maps as District 1000, Section 96, Block 4, Lot 4.3
(part of 4.1).
2. The subject premises is presently improved with an
agricultural structure presently under construction pursuant to
Building Permit 15622Z issued January 12, 1987, and agricultural
buildings constructed under Building Permit numbers 13780 issued
March 22, 1985, and under 12617Z issued September 17, 1983. Town
records shows that no on-site physical inspections of the
buildings have been made to date under the N.Y.S. Construction
Code by the Town Building Inspectors (since the buildings were
apparently permitted only for agricultural storage).
3. By this application, applicant requests a Special
Exception to the Zoning Ordinance under Article III, Section
100-30B, Subsection 14 for permission to establish a Winery for
the production and retail sales of wine produced from grapes
primarily grown on the vineyard on which such winery is located.
4. The premises in question contains a total acreage in
excess of 14 acres having a frontage of 679.42 feet along the
south side of County Road 48 (Middle Road) in the Hamlet of
Cutchogue, Town of Southold.
5. The subject premises is located in the A-Residential and
Agricultural Zoning District and is improved with a prin-
cipal agricultural barn building containing a total floor area of
approximately 4765 sq. ft. An addition made of prefabricated
steel is proposed of a size 90 ft. x 54 feet, which would
increase the floor area of the building to a total of 9625 sq.
ft.
6. The area proposed for retail sales is to be not more
than 4819 sq. ft. as marked in "red" on the Proposed Sketch
Drawing prepared b~ Guldi & Showers dated May 31, 1988 under
Drawing No. A-1. The remaining floor area is proposed for
storage, production, utility rooms, wholesale sales areas,
bathrooms, hallways, file room. Sufficient information has not,
however, been presented to confirm whether the proposed retail
sales area of the subject winery establishment will be occupied
entirely or partly in the newly proposed addition or the existing
agricultural barn structures, or whether the wholesale and
production areas are to be within the existing, or proposed,
addition.
7. The setbacks of the winery building in question is shown
on the February 11, 1988 final location survey prepared by
Williams R. Simmons, Jr., L.C. to be at 155.7 feet from the
northerly property line along the County Road. The parking areas
are shown to be a minimum of 36 spaces, 18 at the west side and
18 at the east side of the building, lit is noted for the record
that an application for site plan approval by the Planning Board
is pending review at this time as required by Article III,
Section 100-30B(14) and Article XIII of the Zoning Code.
8. In considering this application, the Board determines:
(a) that the buildings within which the proposed winery
uses are to be located must first be inspected and approved as to
meeting all the requirements of the N.Y.S. Construction Codes and
all other applicable codes;
Page 3 - Appl. No. 3732
Decision Rendered July 14, 1988
Matter of ROBERT E. BIDWELL
(b) that the use will not prevent the orderly and
reasonable use of adjacent properties or of properties in
adjacent use districts;
(c) that the safety, health, welfare, comfort, convenience
and order of the Town will not be adversely affected by the
proposed use and its location;
(d) the use will be in harmony with and will promote the
general purposes and intent of zoning since this is a use
permitted by legislative action and will meet all other
requirements of the zoning code.
9. The Board has also considered Items (a) through (1) of
Article XII of the Zoning Code in making this determination.
10. It is the position of this Board that in making this
determination, the occupancies for the uses permitted hereunder
shall exclude the retail sales, and that applicant will be
required to submit a separate application, in complete detail and
form, for consideration of same, together with all other areas
(wholesale areas, file room, production rooms, storage areas,
etc.). Additional information is needed before an approval can
be given for the use of retail sales and occupancy by the public
for the same.
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Goehringer, seconded by Mr.
Grigonis, it was
RESOLVED, to GRANT a Special Exception for the Production of
Wholesale Storage of, and Wholesale Sales of, Wine Produced from
Grapes Primarily Grown on this Parcel, in'the Matter of ROBERT E.
BIDWELL under Appl. No. 3732, SUBJECT TO:
1. Approval as required under Article III, Section
100-30B(14) and Article XI of the Zoning Code for site plan
review by the Planning Board;
2. No occupancy of the buildings by the public for
retailing, except in the following manner:
a. Issuance of appropriate Building Permits;
b. Inspections and Approvals as to compliance and
acceptance by the Building Inspector as required under the N.Y.S.
Construction Code, etc., and the same is ready for issuance of a
Certificate of Occupancy for all uses as applied (before issuance
of a C.O.);
c. Application for a special Exception and appropriate
papers in complete form depicting the retail sales, wholesale
sales, wholesale storage, bathrooms, file and office room(s),
production rooms, and all other activities to be conducted on the
premises and within the building(s) to be filed and considered by
the Board of Appeals, and further on-site inspections.
3. On Board's own motion, this matter may be reopened for a
rehearing and reconsideration if the above conditions are not
complied with.

3. Article III, Section 100-30, The purpose of the
Agricultural-Conservation (A-C) District and the Low-Density
Residential R-80, R-120, R-200 and R-400 Districts is to
reasonably control, to the extent possible, prevent the
unnecessary loss of those currently open lands within the town
containing large and contiguous areas of prime agricultural
soils which are the basis for a significant portion of the
town's economy and those areas with sensitive environmental
features, including aquifer recharge areas and bluffs. In
addition, these areas provide the open rural environment so
highly valued by year-round residents and those persons who
support the Town of Southold's recreation, resort and second-
home economy. The economic, social and aesthetic benefits which
can be obtained for all citizens by limiting loss of such areas
are well documented and have inspired a host of governmental
programs designed, with varying degrees of success, to achieve
this result. For its part, the town is expending large sums of
money to protect existing farm acreage. At the same time, the
town has an obligation to exercise its authority to reasonably
regulate the subdivision and development of this land to further
the same purposes while honoring the legitimate interests of
farmers and other farmland owners.
4. Also noted for the record under Appeal No. 3732 for a
Winery for the Production and Retail Sale of Wine. In this
Decision rendered July 14, 1988 it states:
(a) The area proposed for retail sales is to be not more
than 400 sq. ft. as marked in "red" on the Proposed Sketch
Drawing prepared by Guldi & Showers dated May 31, 1988 under
Drawing No. A-1.
5. In considering this application, the Board finds and
determines:
ia) that the use will not prevent the orderly and
reasonable use adjacent properties or of properties in adjacent
use districts;
(c) that the Special Exception will not in turn cause a
substantial effect on the safety, health, welfare, comfort,
convenience and/or order of the Town;
(d) that in carefully considering the record and all the
above factors, the interests of justice will be served by
granting the Special Exception, as applied conditionally noted
below.
Accordingly on motion by Mr. Grigonis, seconded by Mr.
Dinizio, it was
