CHAIRMAN, SOUTHOLD TOWN ZONING BOARD
OF APPEALS
Page 2 Appl. No. 3719
Matter of SOUTHOLD SAVINGS BANK
Decision Rendered April 14, 1988
from the Provisions of Article VI, Section lO0-60(C), Sub-
section [2](a) for permission to place ground sign of a
sign area of 22" high by 108" wide at 18" above ground
rather than the required 48" above ground.
5. The proposed ground sign is for on-premises
identification purposes for "Southold Savings Bank" and
is proposed to be located 14 ft. east of the concrete
curb along Railroad Avenue, 6 ft. from the westerly
property line, and 24 feet north of the driveway curb
(see sketched site plan and sketch of Peter Jacques Sr.
dated March l, 1988).
6. It is the opinion of the Board that the sign as
proposed is consistent with the purposes and intent of
the zoning requirements and is aesthetically more agreeable.
7. The height of the sign will not cause visual
obstruction for vehicles exiting the premises and the
Board agrees with the reasoning of appellant.
8. In considering this appeal, the Board finds and
determines as follows:
(a) the variance requested is not substantial in
relation to the requirement;
(b) the grant of the variance will not cause an undue
burden on available governmental facilities;
(c) the grant of the variance will not produce a
substantial adverse change in the character of the neigh-
borhood or create a substantial detriment to adjoining
properties;
(d) the circumstances of the property are unique,
(e) the interests of justice will be served by grant-
ing the relief, as applied.
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Goehringer, seconded
by Mr. Grigonis, it was
RESOLVED, to GRANT a Variance in the Matter of the
Application of SOUTHOLD SAVINGS BANK under Appl. No. 3719
for the placement of a oround sign at a height 18" above
ground as applied.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Goehringer, Gri§onis,
Doyen, Douglass and Sawicki. This resolution was duly adopted.
