Existing on the premises at the present time is a large barn structure which is located approximately 127 feet south of the Main Road and set back approximately seven feet from the south property line of premises now of Fogarty~ 6. It is noted for the record that the Southold Town Planning Board by action of April 1, 1985, made certain recommenda- tions concerning the site plan, particularly the buffer area against the residential properties, elimination of the "head-on" parking along the west side, and certain "street" screening and asphalt-base parking areas. In considering this application, the board has determined: (1) that this proposed use is in harmony with the zoning plan and is a use not forbidden by this zoning regulation; (2) that the use will not prevent the orderly and reasonable use of adjacent properties or of properties in adjacent use districts, which are as follows: (a) north side of the Main Road [opposite these premises] are the "B-I" General Business Zoning Districts, (b) the east side of Harbor Lane [opposite these premises] is a pre-existing cemetery, (c) the subject "A" Residential and Agricultural Zoning District [abutting these premises on the westerly and southerly sides]; (3) that the use will be in harmony with and promote the general purposes and intent of the present zoning ordinance. In passing upon this application, the board has also considered items (a) through (1) of Article XII, Section 100-121(C)[2] of the Zoning Code. Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Grigonis, seconded by Mr. Douglass, it was RESOLVED, that a Special Exception pursuant to Article III, Section 100-30(B)[13] for a funeral home establishment as applied under Appeal No. 3326 in the Matter of the Application of WILLIAM AND HELEN COSTER, BE AND HEREBY IS APPROVED SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOW- ING CONDITIONS: 1.

NAME STREET A-~D NUMBER Laurel, New York 11947 MUNICIPALITY STATE hereby apply to THE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS for a SPECIAL EXCEPTION in accordance with the ZONING ORDINANCE ARTICLE III SECTION 100 SUBSECTION 30 (B) (13) THE SPECIALEXCEPTION IS REQUESTED BECAUSE your Petitioners propose to build an attractive one story commercial building containing 5,680 square feet for the pur- pose of conducting a funeral home business on the property. The location of the proposed building is shown on the Site Plan Sketch which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1. The building itself will contain three funeral chapels, two offices, rest rooms, a casket selection room, and preparation rooms as shown on the floor plan prepared by Donald Geitz, Registered Architect dated December 7, 1984, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2. It is your Petitioners' intention to utilize the existing barn building on the property for a storage and garage facility to be used in conjunction with the funeral home business. The property is located on the southwest corner of Main Road (State Route 25) and Harbor Lane, Cutchogue, New York. The adjacent property to the west is zoned "A" Residential and Agricultural; the parcel of land owned by John Pung is vacant and the property owned by James R. and Georgeanna Fogarty contains a one-family dwelling. The property is bounded on the north by the Main Road (State Route 25). Immediately to the north across the Main Road, the property is zoned "B-i" Business District, is owned by Gary F. Olsen and contains a law office and other commercial space. The parcel is bounded on the east by Harbor Lane, and directly across Harbor Lane is the old Burying Ground Cemetery which is in an "A" Residential and AgriculturalDistrict. The property is bounded on the south by property zoned "A" Residential and Agricultural, and contains one family residences owned by Josephine Bakowski, Elbert V. Austin, and Sudhir Sahu. The proposed development of the subject parcel as a funeral home is the most appropriate use of the property and is in keeping with the development of this neighborhood. The construction of a funeral home will tend to act as a buffer from future development of the vacant property to the west from the established residential neighborhood along Harbor Lane. The proposed Site Plan provided for the anticipated operation and future expan- sion of the business. The ample off-street parking and the landscaped area provides for the use of this property during peak periods, causing neither congestion nor continued on rider attached hereto) COLTNTY OF SUFFOLK William F.

A B~NETT B~WSKI, JR.~ CHAIRMAN SOUTHOLD TOWN PLANNING BOARD By Diane M. Schultze, Secretary cc: Zoning Board of Appeals ~ain Roa~ Cutchogue, N.Y. March, 1985 Mr. G. Gehringer and Board Members: Last year we were part of the seven individual property owners seeking a zone change from residental to business along the south side of the Main Road opposite the Key Food shopping center, the proposal was denied. The Town Board's point of insistance was that they wanted to keep the business area located within the hamlets and to eliminate "spot zoning" which they considered the application to be. Now to the east and south of our property on the corner of the Main Road and Harbor Lane and a strip running south behind the res- idence of John Bakowski, E. Austin and S. P. Sahu is proposed as a "special exception" to the zoning requirements. Nestling a funeral home-a business enterprise-into a residental community is clearly an example of spot zoning. This parcel that will clearly bring a negative effect on the four residental proper- ties that it borders on and the four home owners that oppose it. This business will operate as a business without the benefit of being Business Zoned. Our property to the west and north of this is still zoned res- idental. This situation is condemning the value of our property. Not only will our property value decrease but our limited pri- vacy as it exists right now will be completely destroyed. The proposed parking is herendous: There are parking stalls proposed along our property line such that when the cars are parked they will face directly into our backyard. Further parking is pro- posed along the fence bordering Bakowski property all facing into the fence, into their backyards, and behind Austin and Sahu stalls are proposed also ruining any privacy they might have in their back- yards. A four foot hedge is outlined to seperate our property from the mortuary property. Four feet does not eliminate the visibility-both properties activities can be viewed. A four foot hedge does not eliminate the increased noise factor nor does it modify it. Light fixtures are planned on the building and in the parking areas. There is no feasible way to direct these lights so that they do not become a nuisance to our normal daily living, especially those properties that were sheltered previously from backyard lighting along Harbor Lane. We really feel that our daily living will be negatively effected by the granting of this "special exception" and hope that you will consider the effects on our property and lives. We are young enough that we could probably sell and move if the situation lives up to it's negative potential. However consider the retired people along Harbor Lane who had no conception that such negative change could ever occur in their backyards. These residents have lived aggrevated, unsettled lives ever since they signed for the certified mail announcing the proposal. Mr. Gehringer, I invite you and your board to please bring the proposed plans and visit our neighborhood. Come meet us, the Bako- wski's, Austin's, Mr. Sahu, stand in our backyards and then make your decisions.

Dear Board of Appeals Members: I am a year round resident of Southold, and a retired New York State Fnneral Director. Having operated two funeral homes in the greater New York area, and having served eight years as President of the Interboro Funeral Directors Association, I feel particularly qualified to speak on the Coster's behalf. With the surge in population in this area, there is sure to be a need for a new funeral home in the near future. I believe that no one is better suited than the Costers to oper- ate a funeral home that would be an asset to this community. I have known Helen and William Coster professionally and socially for over twenty years, and have always found them to be responsible and sensitive people of the highest personal and professional integrity. For these reasonst I ,,~ ~h~ R~ nf Annnals to =rant the necessary permits to ~onstruct and operate a ~uneral home to the Costers, who have been year round residents of Laurel ~6r over ten years. I believe the Board should not deny the residents of the area a choice, when they need a Funeral Director to care for their loved ones. Very truly yours, Frederick C.

Increased traffic flow would be hazardous to myself, family and friends. 4. The proposed 4' privot hedge would be insufficient to prevent or eliminate increased noise, privacy and other annoyances. 5. Lights on building would be a continual disturbance to my privacy. 6. Any overflow of parking could block the street, as well as my driveway, mailbox, and could possibly cause damage to my lawn. Also, I have a chronic respiratory problem and in the event of an emergency at my home, this could seriously hamper access of emergency vehicles to my property. As far as I am concerned, a "Special Exception" should not b~ ~r~nted for purposes of utilizing the premises --for a funeral home. Sincerely, SUDHIR SAHU 600 Harbor Lane P. O.

Dear Mr. Goehringer: My long time friend, Mr. William Coster, is planning to build a funeral home on property which he now owns on Harbor Lane and Route 25 in Cutchogue. He feels that this would be an extension of his business in Queens, N.Y. whereby customers of his who summer or have relocated to the north shore can avail themselves of his services. By the same token, this type of business can only be an asset, enhancing the area through the construction of a stately build- ing with sufficient parking and short daily business hours. My family has known Mr. Coster for many years and can personally recor~nend him to the area as an honest, upstanding businessman and a credit to his profession. I hope that this letter will serve the purpose for which it is intended; that being, your~granting him permission to utilize his property as stated above.

It is our firm belief that the addition of m~ch a business in our town will no~ only i~'~cre~se the availability of such a service to our local community, but will do so in a manner in keeping with the tradition and spirit which currently exists in the to~m. Bill's professional hi~tory in Jackson Heights is a testimony to this belief. Any enterprise which he undertakes will be Well structured and beautifully maintained, and prove to be a most desirable addition to Southold. Bill is a person of out~tandi~g -~oral character who po.%sesees a genuine concern for his fellow ~an. All who know Bill are impres~ed by his sir. cerity and hone ty. It is this kind of peraon who~ we should welco~e to do bu~ine~s in our town. It i~ this kind of per~'~on fro~ ¥~ho.~ we will ull benefit from !~nowinM au~ interracting.

The location of the proposed building is shown on the Site Plan Sketch which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1. The building itself will contain three funeral chapels, two offices, rest rooms, a casket selection room, and preparation rooms as shown on the floor plan prepared by Donald Geitz, Registered Architect dated December 7, 1984, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2. It is your Petitioners' intention to utilize the existing barn building on the property for a storage and garage facility to be used in conjunction with the funeral home business. The property is located on the southwest corner of Main Road (State Route 25) and Harbor Lane, Cutchogue, New York. The adjacent property to the west is zoned "A" Residential and Agricultural; the parcel of land owned by John Pung is vacant and the property owned by James R. and Georgeanna Fogarty contains a one-family dwelling. The property ia bounded on the north by the Main Road (State Route 25). Immediately to the north across the Main Road, the property is zoned "B-i" Business District, is owned by Gary F. Olsen and contains a law office and other commercial space. The parcel is bounded on the east by Harbor Lane, and directly across Harbor Lane is the old Burying Ground Cemetery which is in an "A" Residential and Agricultural District. The property is bounded on the south by property zoned "A" Residential and Agricultural, and contains one family residences owned by Josephine Bakowski, Elbert V. Austin, and Sudhir Sahu. The proposed development of the subject parcel as a funeral home is the most appropriate use of the property and is in keeping with the development of this neighborhood. The construction of a funeral home will tend to act as a buffer from future development of the vacant property to the west from the established residential neighborhood along Harbor Lane. The proposed Site Plan provided for the anticipated operation and future expan- sion of the business. The ample off-street parking and the landscaped area provides for the use of this property during peak periods, causing neither congestion nor (continued on rider attached hereto) COUI~ OF SUFFOLK ) William P, SIGNATURE Coster, III to this 2~ day of ~!n.~Y, 19.8~. /~'~/~.c_ ~7 ~ Sworn .... ..............

New York 11947 MU'N/ClPALITY STATE hereby apply to THE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS for a SPECIAL EXCEPTION iu accordance with the ZONING ORDINANCE ARTICLE III SECTION 100 SUBSECTION 30 (B) (13) THE SPECIAL EXCEPTION IS REQUESTEDBECAUSE your Petitioners propose to build an attractive one story commercial building containing 5,680 square feet for the pur- pose of conducting a funeral home business on the property. The location of the proposed building is shown on the Site Plan Sketch which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1. The building itself will contain three funeral chapels, two offices, rest rooms, a casket selection room, and preparation rooms as shown on the floor plan prepared by Donald Geitz, Registered Architect dated December 7, 1984, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2. It is your Petitioners' intention to utilize the existing barn building on the property for a storage and garage facility to be used in conjunction with the funeral home business. The property is located on the southwest corner of Main Road (State Route 25) and Harbor Lane, Cutchogue, New York. The adjacent property to the west is zoned "A" Residential and Agricultural; the parcel of land owned by John Pung is vacant and the property owned by James R. and Georgeanna Fogarty contains a one-family dwelling. The property is bounded on the north by the Main Road (State Route 25). Immediately to the north across the Main Road, the property is zoned "B-i" Business District, is owned by Gary F. 01sen and contains a law office and other commercial space. The parcel is bounded on the east by Harbor Lane, and directly across Harbor Lane is the old Burying Ground Cemetery which is in an "A" Residential and Agricultural District. The property is bounded on the south by property zoned "~' Residential and Agricultural, and contains one family residences owned by Josephine Bakewski, Elbert V. Austin, and Sudhir Sahu. The proposed development of the subject parcel as a funeral home is the most appropriate use of the property and is in keeping with the development of this neighborhood. The construction of a funeral home will tend to act as a buffer from future development of the vacant property to the west from the established residential neighborhood along Harbor Lane. The proposed Site Plan provided for the anticipated operation and future expan- sion of the business. The ample off-street parking and the landscaped area provides for the use of this property during peak periods, causing neither congestion nor (continued on rider attached hereto) STATE OF NEW YORK) /~ ~_i COUNTY OF SUFFOLK ) William F.
