ACTION OF THE ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
Appeal No. 3175
Application Dated September 28, 1983
TO: Mr. Michael F. Doyle, A.I.A. 506 East 84th Street
New York, NY 10028
(Public Hearing October 27, 1983)
[Appellant(s)]
At a Meeting of the Zoning Board of Appeals held on October 27, 1983
the above appeal was considered, and the action indicated below was taken
on your [ ] Request for Variance Due to Lack of Access to Property
New York Town Law, Section 280-a
[ ] Request for Special Exception under the Zoning Ordinance
Article , Section
IX] Request for Variance to the Zoning Ordinance
Article III, Section 100-32
[ ] Request for
The public hearing on this application was also held on October 27,
1983.
Upon application for WILLIAM L. MUSSER, by Michael F. Doyle, A.I.A.,
as agent, 506 East 84th Street, New York, NY 10028, for a Variance to
the Zoning Ordinance, Article III, Section 100-32 for permission to con-
struct detached accessory garage in the frontyard area at premises known
as Lots 1 and 2 at Chocomount, located on a Private Road, at Fishers
Island, NY; County Tax Map Parcel ID No. 1000-004-05-5.4.
The board made the following findings and determination:
By this appeal, applicant is seeking permission to construct a
24' by 24' one-story accessory garage/storage building to be located
approximately 40 feet southeasterly of the existing one-family resi-
dence (near a'large bouIder). The premises in question contains an
area of approximately 2.2 acres and is more particularly identified
as a portion of Lots 1 and 2 at Chocomount, and Suffolk County Tax
Map Parcel District 1000, Section 004, Block 05, Lot 5.4. The
access to this parcel is along the cul-de-sac of the subject private
road, and due to the location of the existing residence the parcel
is substantially "frontyard area" as defined by Section 100-13 of the
Zoning Code. The board agrees that the area chosen for the location
of this accessory building is the most practical under the circum-
stances and particularly due to the topography of this land.
In considering this appeal, the Board determines: (1) that the
practical difficulties shown are sufficient to warrant the gran ing
of this application; (2) that the variance request is not substan-
tial in relation to the requirements of the zoning code; (3) that
the circumstances are u~i~ue; (~' that the relief requested will
be in harmony with and promote the general purposes of zoning; and
(5) that the interests of justice would best be served by allowing
the variance, as indicated below.
On motion by Mr. Do~en, seconded by Mr. Grigonis, it was
RESOLVED, that Appeal No. 3175, application for WILLIAM L.
MUSSER for permission to construct accessory garage/storage build-
ing in an area other than the required rearyard, BE AND HEREBY IS-

REASON FOR APPEAL
Continued
1. STRICT APPLICATION OF THE ORDINANCE would produce practical difficulties or unneces~
sory HARDSHIP because
The steep topography of the property leaves only this front location for a
garage in relation to the private access road to the site,
2. The hardship created is UNIQUE and is not shared by ali properties alike
vicinity of this property and in this use district because
in the immediate
3. Tine Variance would observe the spirit of the Ordinance and WOULD NOT CHANGE THE
CHARACTER OF THE DISTRICT because
1, The nature of this site is that it is off a private ~oad~ hidden fro~
surrounding property owners,
2, The home of t~he neigbl~r to the ~st is ~o-~n the hill ~-nd out of view of
this proposed garage,
3, The edges of the site and all a~Jacent properties are heavily wooded. ~n
in wLnter when leaves are down~ one would barely see this structure from the
public road.

Re: William L. Musser House
Lots 1 & 2
Chocomount, Fisher Island, NY
Dear Sir:
On behalf of our client, William L. Musser, Jr., we would like to
request a variance to build a detached accessory (garage) building
on the above noted site on Fishers Island, New York.
We cite the following reasons why we feel that this would be an accept-
able condition for this location:
1. The steep topography of the property leaves only this location
in relation to the public access road.
2. The owner of this property owns the adjacent building lot to the
East.
3. The home of the neighbor to the west is down the hill out of view
of this proposed garage.
4. The edges of the site and all adjacent properties are heavily
wooded. Even in winter, when leaves are down, one would barely
see this structure from the public road.
We would appreciate receiving the necessary forms to apply for this
variance as quickly as possible and would pay any "express mail" fees
necessary. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to
call me collect at 212-730-1950.
Ve~/.truly yours,
Michael F. Doyle, AIA
MFD/am
REASON FOR APPEAL
Continu~l
1. STRICT APPLICATION OF THE ORDINANCE would produce practical difficulties or unneces-
sary HARDSHIP because
The steep topography of the property leaves only this front location for a
garage in relation to the private access road to the site.
2. The hardship created is UNIQUE end is not shared by all properties alike in the immediate
vicinity of this property and in this use district because
3 The Variance would observe the spirit of the Ordinance and WOULD NOT CHANGE
CHARACTER OF THE DISTRICT because
THE
1. The nature of this site is that it is off a private road, hidden from
surrounding property owners.
2. The home of the neighbor to the west is down the hill and out of view of
this proposed garage.
3. The edges of the site and all adjacent properties are heavily wooded. Even
in winter when leaves are down, one would barely see this structure from the
public road.

Att: Ms. Eileen Carey

Southold, N.Y. 11971
Dear Ms. Carey:
I am the architect representing William L. Musser, Jr. in his
attempt to get a variance to build a garage in the front yard
of his property on Fishers Island, New York.
Since I could not reach MS. Kowaski during the last few days,
I am sending this appeal application to your attention. Because
of an illness in my family, I was out of town and missed the mailing
date. If there is any possibility of getting on the October agenda
as you mentioned, I would greatly appreciate your assistance.
If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call me
collect at 212-730-1950. I will call to verify that this package
has arrived.
Very truly yours,
Michael F. Doyle, AIA
