No. 3628 Matter of GEORGE AND JANE KAYTIS Decision Rendered October 28, 1987 4. Upon information and belief, it is the understanding of this Board that the immediate area, consisting of County Tax Map District 1000, Section 81, Block 3, Lots 15.2, 15.1, 12, 15.3, 11, and 28, were owned by James Furman Neefus and his wife, Minnie Neefus and consisted of approximately 10± acres. After research, it was found that several conveyances have been made by the Neefuses between February 1967 and April 1976 as follows: (a) County Tax Map Lot 28 (of 1.65± acres) was conveyed on April 4, 1973 to George and Jane Kaytis; (b) County Tax Map Lot ll (of 2.75+ acres) was conveyed to James F. Neefus, Jr. February 28, 1967; (c) County Tax Map Lot 15.3 (of 2.9± acres) was conveyed to James F. Neefus, Jr. February 3, 1976; (d) County Tax Map Lots 15.2 and 12 (now 15.4) of 2.361 acres was conveyed to the applicants herein on April 19, 1966 by single deed at Liber 5944 cp 97 (as well as the .45+ acre adjoining right-of-way to the south known as Lot No. 15.1 by deed at Liber 8011 cp 518 on April 1, 1976). 5. For the record, town approval was found only for the set-off of Lot 28 in paragraph (a), supra, under Board of Appeals action rendered February 15, 1973, Appl. No. 1724, and Planning Board action of September 23, 1980. No other approvals have been found in town records for the other conveyances. 6. In viewing the immediate area, the Board finds that all of the lots are of a size greater than that proposed by this application, to wit, County Tax Map Lot No.: (a) ll of 2.75± acres, (b) 13 of 2.0± acres, (c) 14 of 1.5± acres, (d) 15.3 of 2.9± acres, (e) 15.2 of 3.4± acres, (f) 28 of 1.65± acres, (g) 9 of 1.8± acres. 7. Article III, Section lO0-31, Bulk Schedule of the Zoning Code requires a minimum lot area of 80,000 sq. ft., minimum lot width of 175 feet, and minimum lot depth of 250 feet. 8. The amount of relief requested from the lot area requirements is a total of 70+ percent for both lots, and 50% of a variance or 40,000 sq. ft. as proposed for Lot #1, and 21+% of a variance or 29,400 sq. ft. as proposed for Lot #2. 9. It is the opinion of the Board that the percentage of relief requested is substantial in relation to the require- ments and the granting of the variances requested will not be within the character of the lots in the immediate area. 10. In considering this application, the Board also finds and determines that: (a) the difficulties claimed are not suffi- cient to warrant a granting of the relief requested; (b) the percentage of relief requested is substantial in relation to the requirements; (c) the difficulties claimed are self-created and are not sufficient for the grant of this variance; (d) the lot as exists with a total acreage of 2.361 acres is only .40+ of an acre larger than the 80,000 sq. ft. requirement; Page 3 - Appl. No. 3628 Matter of GEORGE AND JANE KAYTIS Decision Rendered October 28, 1987 (e) the variance will in turn cause a substantial effect on the safety, health, welfare, comfort, convenience and order of the town; (f) in view of the manner in which the diffi- cutlies arose, and in consideration of all the above factors, the interests of justice will best be served by denying the variance applied. Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Douglass, seconded by Mr. Grigonis, it was RESOLVED, to DENY the relief requested under Appl. No. 3628 in the Matter of the Application of GEORGE AND JANE KAYTIS. Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Goehringer, Grigonis, Doyen, Douglass and Sawicki. This resolution was duly adopted. lk ~ ·GERARD P.

( ) (x) ( ) REASON FOR APPEAL A Variance to Section 280A Subsection 3 A Variance to the Zoning Ordinance is requested for-the reason that Appellant desires to set-off a 40,000 sq. ft. lot from this 2.361 acre parcel. l~orm ZBI Continue on other side) REASON FOR APPEAL Continued '- ~, 1, STRICT APPLICATION OF THE ORDINANCE would produce practical difficu~l~ies or unneces- sar~ HARDSHIP because Appellant would be unable to divide this property au provide a building lots for the use of his ~wo children. 2. The hardshipcreate~ is UNIQUE and isnotshared oy all properties alike in the immediate vicinity of this property and in this use district because This property, along with the three adjacent properties immediately to the north and east, form the Neefus family compound. It has always been the intention of the family to maintain these properties for use by family members and to provide for additional residential Construction as needed. It was merely lack of forethought, on the part of your Appellant~ that this proposed division was no~ pursued prior to the institution of two-acre zoning. 3. The Varmnce would observe the ~irit of the Ordinance and WOULD NOT CHANGE THE CHARACTER OF THE DISTRICT because This property is separated from other property designated on :he proposed Southold Town Master Plan as "A-40", only by a 50-foot wide p~ivate roadway. A number of the properties to the north, although proposed to be further upzoned, are pre-existing one-acre lots. In addition, the set-off parcel will have safe and direct access byway of Paradise Point Road. STATE OF NEW YORK COUNTY OF SUJ~'~OLK ~///~~~'~i~nature ": .......................
