(CONTINUED ON PAGES TWO AND THREE) DATED: November 3, 1986. For/n ZB4 (rev. 12/81) CHAIPd~AN, SOUTHOLD TO,TN ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS Page 2 - Appeal No. 3464 Ma~ter of TED DOWD Decision Rendered November 3, 1986 ft. with 50.36 ft. frontage along Rabbit Lane and lot depth of 94 feet. 3. The subject premises is located in the "A" Residential and Agricultural Zoning District and is vacant. Abutting the subject premises to the west is a parcel improved with a dwelling structure set back 24± feet from Rabbit Lane. The premises immediately east of the subject parcel is also presently vacant. 4. Article III, Section lO0-31, Bulk Schedule of the Zoning Code requires a minimum: (a) frontyard setback at 35 feet (or the average established within 300 feet, 100-33); (b) sideyard setback at l0 feet, (c) rearyad setback at 35 feet. Article III, Section 100-31, Bulk Schedule, limits lot coverage to a maximum of 20 percent of the total lot area. Article XI, Section 100-119.2(B) requires all buildings proposed on lots adjacent to tidal water bodies other than the Long Island Sound at not less than 75 feet from the ordinary highwater mark. 5. The amount of relief requested in relation to the zoning requirements are: (a) front yard, 15 feet, or 43% (b) sideyard, five feet, or 50%, (c) rearyard, 16 feet, or 46%, (d) lot coverage, 703.2 sq. ft., or 74.5%, (e) wetlands setback, 56 feet, or 75%. 6. The board finds the general configuration and contours of the parcel lend to the difficulties in locating a principal structure, and strict adherence to the code regulations would not be feasible. 7. It is the opinion of the board that the percentages of relief requested in relation to the requirements are substantial and are not the minimal necessary under the circumstances. In considering this appeal, the board also finds and determines that in granting reduction in the relief as an alternative: (a) the project will not be inconsistent with those generally existing in the neighborhood; (b) the relief will be the minimal necessary under the circum- stances; (c) the circumstances of the property are unique; (d) there will be no substantial change in the character of the area; (e) the variance will not in turn be adverse to the safety, health, welfare, comfort, conven- ience or order of the town; (f) in view of all the above factors, the interests of justice will be served. Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Sawicki, seconded by Mr. Grigonis, it was RESOLVED, that the following relief be and hereby is GRANTED in the Matter of the Application of TED DOWD under Appeal No. 3464 in the proposed placement of a single-family dwelling structure: 1. The frontyard setback not be less than 24 feet, in line with the existing dwelling abutting this property to the west (presently Moor); 2. The easterly sideyard not be less than nine feet, and total sideyards 24 feet (15 and 9); 3. The total lot coverage for all structures not to exceed 22% at this time; (CONTINUED ON PAGE THREE) Page 3 - Appeal No. 3464 Matter of TED DOWD Decision Rendered November 3, 1986 4. No construction or disturbance of area within 25 ft. of ordinary highwater mark (except for bulkheading as may be recommended by State, County or Town agencies, and after receiving appropriate approvals in writing); 5. Setback from rear property line and ordinary high water mark be not less than 25 feet. Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Goehringer, Grigonis, Douglass and Sawicki.

(Continue on other side) ATTAC~ENT 2 REASON FOR APPEAL Continued 1. STRICT APPLICATION OF THE ORDINANCE would produce practica[difficuJtiesorunneces- sory HARDSHIP becau~ construction of a single family home would not conform to the New York State Fire Code requiring 20' separation from other buildings. An adjacent home on the West side was constructed five feet from the property line requirihg a 15' setback on tha~side of the proposed home. This setback required the home to be offset more than normal and to be five~feet from the property line on the other side (East Side) of the proposed home. 2. The hordshipcreatedis UNIQUEand Jsnotshared by ale prope~ies aJi~ in the immediate vicinity of this property and in this use district because other property owners were allowed to construct homes which exceed the current ordinance requirements. An inspection of the area_will reveal that several homes were constructed nearb~ that are adjacent to their respective property lines. A new home ms under construction closeby and has received the necessary approvals to construct. This new home is slightly larger and much higher than the proposed home. In addition a Permit to Construct was obtained from the New York State DEC along with a Vacant Lot Certificate of Occupancy from the Southold Building Department (See Attachments 5B and 7). ~bnstructio~ approval was obtained from the Suffolk County Health Dept that ~equired bringing water from a considerable distance away at significant expense to the applicant. Final approval from the Health Dept w~ obtained after ~e~inqs. with Mssrs. ,ne ~nonce Wou,a oeserve tnt s~r]roz tne SO~r~non[~nan~v~OU[D NOT CNANGE THE CHARACTER OF THE DISTRICT because it conforms to the setbacks and nature of construction of single family homes in the area and meets the requirements of the New York State DEC. Recent construction h~s been allowed in the area both for new construction and remodeling.

The Chairman read the legal notice and application for the record. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: I have a copy of a sketch of a survey pro- duced by Roderick Van Tuyl, P.C. The last date was December 5, 1984. The most recent date is cut off. It does show 1985 how- ever and it does indicate a proposed house with a 10 foot deck on this Bay front lot approximately 19 feet fromthe~water. The original here, of 19 feet from the water, 23 feet from Rabbit Lane, 5 feet from the east property line, 15 feet from the west property line. The house is approximately 30 by 54. And I have a copy of the Suffolk County Tax Map indicating this and surround- ing properties in the area. Mr. Dowd would you like to speak? Maybe use the mike if you wouldn't mind. MR. DOWD: Since then, I've filed 2 letters with the data reflect- ing the setbacks in the area of the houses along Route 9. I've also, I think you have a letter from the 21st with some more in- formation. The 19 foot setback was obtained after the D.E.C. sent a tidal wetlands representative down to measure how the 19 feet even started. And the reason I submitted through the process from that point on was the D.E.C. permit stated my 19 feet. The D.E.C. permit specified such a thing on the other side of the road. There was much negotation between the Health Department with the filing as a plan in the original application. Finally I obtained that approval. By that time I had gone past the Board of Trustees new law at which time I had to go through the whole trustee process where again, the Bay front portion of this property was signifi- cantly scrutinized. If I were to follow the setbacks of the property, I would end up with about a 600 foot square home. And If you look at that answer, the questions that have to do with the correspondence I just made with you, the application itself. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: The house is being serviced by the well that~was placed way up the end of Bay Avenue? MR. DOWD: Yes. The way that~evolved was that was a requirement upon when I got to the Health Department level. Of course that required the hearing plan and what not. I've been through that stage. The Health Department has approved that also. The water is down at that portion of the property but not at that dwelling site. Page 2 - October 22~1986 Public Hearing of T~Dowd Southold Town Board of Appeals CHAIR~a.N GOEHRINGER: Is there any particular reason why you choose to build a one story house as opposed to a two story house? MR. DOWD: Neighbors primarily. The two story house that's to the left, caused a great deal of consternation because it was so high, so largeM and blocked views etc. The houses in the area are primarily .... There are two story houses in the area. The houses in the area are generally of very iow profile. I was trying to keep the house down to a one story level. If set- backs get reduced, if I lose more of the area to build and I end up with a very tall boxy type home similiar to the one that you've probably seen to the east of the particular site. C}~IRMAN GOEHRINGER: Is that house built on a single lot or is that house built pn ~ double lot? MR. DOWD: The house that is presently constructed? CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: Yes. The one that you're referring to. MR. DOWD: It's about a 50 foot lot like myself. It has the septic system on the lot but that was thus the approval I guess because earlier than I've come across. It may have a c.o. now. I don't know if it's completed. CHAI~I~N GOEHRINGER: You intend to conform to all the flood plan laws and regulations in reference to height, est one? federal the low- MRo DOWD: Yes. I believe I pcesented a diagram I had as a pro- file of the house. That gives it about a 12 foot elevation. It does mean sea level. It's approximately 3 feet above the A-7 flood zone of 9 foot requirement. As you can see, I tried to keep the profile (again) low by not jacking it way up to 15 feet which makes it very low towards the road side but higher toward the Bay side. CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: When you refer to the map of the survey and you have it typed in where it says over 20% requested at 14.85, you're referring to a percentage over the 25%? So in effect, we're referring to... I'm not giving you a chance to answer the question, but in effect we're referring to a 34°85 percent of saturation or lot coverage. MR. DOWD: Yes. Also, part of that (of course) is a deck. I also, depending upon... I'll probably have a 4 foot side deck on the property on the home but that's included inbe footprint that's shown. The one that would probably run down the easterly side and wo~Id not impose on the neighbors on the west who have a house. Actually I just had the property surveyed not from the water, just for the specific side setback and they're 3 feet to the Bay side. I was trying to keep the house further away from them. I'm not ~ ~iliar with if we could possibly do it. Page 3 - October ~ 1986 Public Hearing of~d Dowd Southold Town Board of Appeals CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: For the record, we basically have 4 par- cels. One of which is yours which does not have a bulkhead in front of it. Is that correct? MR. DOWD: There 1, 2, 3 parcels actually and a portion of a fourth that doesn not have bulkheads. The water there, in dis- cussing with the D.E.C., shifts a great deal. Many times the bulkheaded portions which are to the east primarily, are in 2 feet of water there. At the present time it's a regular beach but it shifts with a storm. The property there actually, if you look at the tax map, is 105 to 110 feet deep and even the survey shows there's 94 feet which is not using the .... CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: Alright. Thank you very much° We'll see what developes throughout the hearing and it's good to see you. Is there anybody who would like to speak in favor of this appli- cation? Anybody like to speak against the application? For the record, there is a letter of objection from the west property owner I believe. Any questions from any Board members? I guess that's about it. Mr. Dowd we thank you very much for coming in. We'll close the hearing and reserve decision. Hearing no further comments, I make a motion closing the hearing and reserving de- cision until later.

This board determines the within project not to have a signifi- cant adverse effect on the environment for the reasons indicated below. Please take further notice that this declaration should not be considered a determination made for any other department or agency which may also have an application pending for the same or similar project.

Ted Dowd Box 282, Rabbit Lane East Marion, NY 11939 Phone: 477 2402 Tax Map Nr: 31-18-8 Appeal Nr: 3464 October 21, 1986 Dear Chairman Goehringer, This letter is in response to correspondence of October 16, 1986 by Arthur A. Anderman, attorney for Melchior and Harriet Moor who own the lot adjacent to my property on the West side. Paragraph two of the letter states that the Moor~? house is 70' from high water. As can be seen on the survey submitted with the application the house is 28' from high water. If it were 70' from high water my proposed home would be 62' since it is 8' closer to the water. The 70' distance probably refers to the average shoreline which shifts due to bulkheading, jetties and storms but is not considered mean high water by the DEC. Reference is also made to blocking the light and air East of the Moors' house. The proposed home is in line with the large two story house on pilings being constructed 100' East of the Moors' p~operty. It obstructs the area as much as the proposed home would. In addition the house West of the Moors obstructs the area a great deal. The Moors in any case would have a clear, expansive and unobstructed view of ~he bay. Paragraphs three through seven refer to setbacks and that the proposed home is totally out of character with low profile homes in the area. The houses directly East and West of the Moors are two story homes. My attempt was to keep the house as low in profile as possible while meeting the constraints of modern building requirements. Paragraph seven deals with front yard setbacks being 35' which is met by few of the homes in the area including the Moors. In addition the Moors house is 25' from the road and 3' from the Easterly property line. They have an outbuilding which is not shown on the survey that is 53" from from the Westerly property line and 29" from the road. As to overall setbacks~ my letter of October 20, 1986 depicts how none of the homes along the Bay on Rabbit Lane meet alt~set- back requirements. Paragraphs eight and nine deal with the overall rationale for granting a variance. The construction of the home was approved by the NYS DEC, at upper levels of the Suffolk County Health Dept and the Board of Trustees after close scrutiny of the proposal. The Moors were present at the Board of Trustees Public Hearing and did not voice their objections at that time. The deck referred to by Mrs Moor is the one depicted on doc- uments submitted to the board. In response to paragraph 10 there is no rationale to support jeopardizing the community. Approval to bring a water line to 1 the property was approved by the Rabbit Lane Association President and Water Commissioner at a joint meeting with the Suffolk County Health Dept. In conclusion a great deal of time, thought and effort have gone into the approval process for the proposed home. The primary argument as to setback from the water was fully aired and discussed previously by several agencies before that set- back was approved. If there is anything I can do to further clarify any information please contact me.

I have since spoken to Trustee Chairman Smith to reaffirm previous discussions that the 30' is for the house itself and allows for a 10' deck in front of the house. This setback also conforms to the NYS DEC permit to, "Construct a single family dwelling on south side of Rabbit Lane approxim- ately 19' landward of mean high water." The DEC setback was obtained after measurement by the Tidal Wetlands Inspector of homes 300' either side of the proposed home.~ Both permits were granted after on-site inspections which determined that the res- idence would conform to construction of homes in the area. I have corrected the survey map (Atch 1 on the original applic- ation) to reflect the Trustees setback requirements. Atch 1 is a sketch diagram of the proposed residence as it would appear topographically. Atch 2 is a compilation of setbacks taken of homes within 300' either side of the proposed home. It is taken from data reflected on surveys by Van Tuy! and/or actual measurements. Homes are listed by Suffolk County Tax Map Number (Arch 3). It is interesting to note that the setback calculations from the water conform to the NYS DEC requirements. If there are any questions or further action to be taken please contact me.

Pauzer, District Manager Suffolk County Soil & Water Conservation District 127 East Main Street Riverhead, New York 11901 Dear Stan: A comprehensive review was made of the Dowd project for the Southold Town Trustees. A copy of this report is attached for your review. As I stated in my original assessment~ the disposal of domestic waste may pose the greatest problem for this development~ especially since the applicant proposes to install two septic systems on one lot~ directly north of this lot. I would normally be concerned with the proposed location of the house, however, it is in line with most of the existing homes along the waters edge. It is a little late to consider building restrictions near the waters edge. Of course this pro- posed dwelling, as well as all of the others fronting Gardiners Bay, will be extremely vulnerable during severe storm activity. Vegetative treatment of the bay front for erosion control is out of the question. The construction of bulkheads and groins on adjacent properties and the exposure of this lot to Gardiners Bay~ would wipe out any vegetation planted on this lot. If I may be of further assistance please let me know. Sincerely, Allan S.

Pauzer~ District Manager Suffolk County Soil & Water Conservation District 127 East Main Street Riverhead, New York 11901 Dear Stan: I have reviewed the application and inspected the site owned by Ted Dowd~ as requested. There is some confusion on the application as to exactly what the applicant is proposing. On the Town Trustees permit form the applicant is re- questing a permit to build two single family residences on pilings~ 30 feet from Orient Harbor (Gardiners Bay). On the Town of Southold Environmental Assessment Form the applicant's description of the project is to build a single family residence on pilings, 30 feet from Orient Harbor (Gardiners Bay). The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Permit describes the project as follows: Construct a single family dwelling on south side of Rabbit Lane approximately 19 feet landward of Orient Harbor (Gardiners Bay). Install sanitary system for this lot on applicant's property on the north side of Rabbit Lane approximately 50 feet south of Marion Lake. Sanitary systems for three northerly lots will be located between houses and Rabbit Lane approxi- mately 125 feet south of Marion Lake and 150 feet landward of mean high water. The attached survey shows four lots owned by the applicant~ thus I assumed that the D.E.C. permit project description was accurate. Ail of my cormments are based upon this assumption. The lot bearing Suffolk County tax map designation 31-17-9 has a newly con- structed home on it. The septic system had not been installed~ the date of my visit February 6, 1986. The Soil Survey of Suffolk County identifies the soil on these parcels as being Fill Land Dredged Material (Fd). A copy of the soil map and description is in- cluded for your review. An onsite investigation verified this fact. The water table was found to be at a depth of 3.5 feet below the surface within the area of the proposed septic systems. The project is located within the 100-year flood plan~boundary as indicated on the Flood Insurance Rate Map for the Town of Southold. There is the potential of complete flooding of the land area causing the systems to fail and discharge into Lake Marion and Orient Harbor. Mr. Stanley A. Pauzer - 2 - CO 0C February 14, 1986 The proposed septic systems may have an impact due to the high water table condition. The sandy nature of the soil material will allow the effluent to move rapidly into the groundwater and then laterally into either Marion Lake or Orient Harbor. Table One of the Nonpoint Source Management Handbook developed under the direction of the Long Island Regional Planning Board identifies the most significant known contamin- ants associated with on-site systems and the resulting surface water problems. The proposed development area is located within Hydrogeologic Zone IV as identified in the Long Island Comprehensive Waste Treatment Plan. The zones are land areas that recharge either deep aquifers or shallow aquifers and/or discharge zones. Article 6 of the Suffolk County Sanitary Code, Realty Subdivisions and Developments states that the minimum lot requirement for new homes with septic systems for all areas outside Hydrogeologic Zones III and VI is 20,000 square feet. In this project, the applicant proposes to install two septic systems on lot 10 which is 17~478 square feet in size, and one septic system each on lots 9 and 20 which are 19,430 square feet and 18,656 square feet in size respectively. If you have any questions or I may be of further assistance~ please feel free to call on me. Sincerely, Allan S.

These operations are used mainly to widen or deepen boat channels in salt water; however, some dredged material has been obtained from new channels cut into tidal marshes. Most of the dredged material is pumped onto tidal marshes. Smaller amounts are placed on beaches and dunes and on nearby mineral soils in a few places. The practice generally is to dike an area by using onsite material. The dredgings are then pumped into the diked area and allowed to settle. Excess water drains back into the bay. After the water drains off, heterogeneous deposits of sand, gravel and sea shells remain. In many places a dark-gray silty mud remains. Pro- tective dunes have been built with clean sand and gravel dredgings in some places~ and in such places a few naturally formed dunes are included in mapping. Fill land~ dredged material, is not suited to farming. Areas are satisfactory for building sites where the fill is adequate and if the highly compressible organic layers in the tidal marshes are removed prior to filling. Areas where the fill is placed on marshes containing thick organic layers are likely to be unstable and need onsite investigation before building on them. Droughtiness, low fertility and high salt content severely limit the establishment of lawns and other landscape plantings.

Ted Dowd 201 13th St E Tierra Verde, Fi 33715 2761 - Jan 16, 1986 Attached ~s the package I went over with you last Summer and finalized last Fall after discussions with you. Please note the additional data you requested on house/lot size is typed on the surveys below the specific lot in question. The Board of Trustees is considering the proposal and has turned it over to the Conservation Advisory Council with whom I am dealing ~ at the present time. If there are any further questions please contact me. I hope to be in the area the first part of March and will contact you to find the date of the Board Meeting. Zoning Board of Appeals Town Hall Southold, NY 11971 January 16, 1986 Ted Dowd 201 13th St E Tierra Verde, Fi 33715 Dear Board Members, Attached are the documents in a Request for Variance in order to construct a single family dwelling at 350 Rabbit Lane in East Marion (1000-031-18-008). Over a year has been spent in meetings with DEC and the Suffolk County Health Dept in order to meet all their requirements. Because of the time span involved the project fell within the new law for the Town Board of Trustees for which I have also initiated the approval process. In addition I have attempted to meet the requirements of the Town Building Department. In short a great deal of thought, time and effort was involved in making sure the home would meet the requirements of all agencies involved of which you are the last remaining approval authority. The home is to be built on pilings in order to preserve the natural environment of the beach area although the majority of the waterfront homes including one nearby that is under construction have been built using bulkheads and jetties. In addition the setbacks requested in the variance conform with the natural evolvement of homes constructed in the area of which some are on existing property lines. Care has been taken to bring in water from a separate water source and placement of septic system to be in excess of 100' from bodies of water. I hope to be able to come up to the meeting in order to answer your questions if at all possible. If not I will request that the local attorney who handled most of the previous discussions be available for your questions.

(Continue on other side) ATTACHMENT 2 REASON FOR APPEAL Continued l. STRICT APPLICATION OF THE ORDINANCE would produce practical difficultiesor unneces- sary HARDSHIPbecouse construction of a single family home would not conform to the New York State Fire Code requiring 20' separation from other buildings. An adjacent home on the West side was constructed five feet from the property line requiring a 15' setback on that side of the proposed home. This setback required the home to be offset more than normal and to be five feet from the property line on the other side (East Side) of the proposed home. 2 The hardship createdis UNIQUE and is notshared by oll properties alike in the immediate vicinity ofthis property and in this use district because other property owners were allowed to construct homes which exceed the current ordinance requirements. An inspection of the area will reveal that several homes were constructed nearby that are adjacent to their respective property lines. A new home is under construction closeby and has received the necessary approvals to construct. This new home is slightly larger and much higher than the proposed home. In addition a Permit to Construct was obtained from the New York State DEC along with a Vacant Lot Certificate of Occupancy from the Southold Building Department (See Attachments 5B and 7). ~onstruction approval was obtained'from the Suffolk County Health Dept that required bringing water fro~ a considerable distance away at significant expense to the applicant. Final approval from the Health Dept was obtained after . Re al meahinas with Mssrs.
