Southold Town Board of Appeals -4- November 18, 1987 Special Meeting
(Appl. No. 3593 - QUIET MAN INN decision, continued:)
(a) the amount of relief requested is substantial in
relation to the requirements, at 87+ percent of the

nance, Articles: (1) XI, Section lO0-119.1B for approval of eight-foot
high fencing along the easterly property line a length of 72± feet~
(2) XII, Section 100-141, Appealing the November 6, 1986 Order to
Remedy Violation which mandates a building permit for new fencing
along the easterly property line. Location of Property: Private
right-of-way extending off of the east side of South Harbor Road known
as Private Road No. 10, or Old Woods Path, Southold, NY; County Tax
Map Parcel No. 1000-87-2-21.
The Board deliberated and then took the following action:
WHEREAS, public hearings were held on this matter on March
1987, July 16, 1987, August 20, 1987, and concluded on October 8,
1987 in the Matter of the Application of BENTE SNELLENBURG under
Appl. No. 3592; and
WHEREAS, at said hearing all those who desired to be heard
were heard and their testimony recorded; and
WHEREAS, the Board has carefully considered all testimony
and documentation submitted concerning this application, and
WHEREAS, the Board Members have personally viewed and are
familiar with the premises in question, its present zoning, and
the surrounding areas; and
WHEREAS, the Board made the following findings of fact:
1. This is an application requesting a Variance from the
Provisions of Article XI, Section lO0-119.1B for approval of the
construction of fencing along the easterly property line a total
length of 144± feet at six ft. in height, inclusive of the
72 ft. center at eight feet in height. The fence is shown to
be located along the east (side) property line as confirmed
by survey prepared by Anthony W. Lewandowski dated May 11,
1987 and submitted on July 16, 1987.

County Tax Maps as District 1000, Section 87~ Block 2, Lot 21
and is situated along a private right-of-way extending off the
east side of South Harbor Road, Hamlet of Southold, Town of
Southold Town Board of Appeals -9- November 18, 1987 Regular Meeting
(Appl. No. 3592 SNELLENBURG decision, continued:)
Southold.
3. The subject premises contains a total area of 1.O±
acre(s), and the copy of survey prepared by Otto W. VanTuyl
& Son dated October 14, 1960 depicts a single-family,
two-story frame dwelling, an accessory one-car garage, and
two accessory sheds.
4. Article XI, Section lO0-119.1B permits fences, walls,
hedges, or other live plantings within five feet of the
property lines and when located along side or rear lot lines
not exceeding six-and-one-half feet.
5. It is the position of this Board that a grant of
the variance to permit the fence height to remain at eight
feet is not warranted for the reasons given in the
appellant's record. The percentage of relief requested
is not the minimal necessary, being a variance of 24% of
the requirement.
6. Article XII, Section 141 provides as follows:
...No building in any district shall be erected,
reconstructed, restored or structurally altered
without a building permit duly issued upon appli-
cation to the Building Inspector...
7. It is the position of this Board that a Building
Permit application and consideration therefor is required
for all buildings. A "fence" falls within the category of
~'building" as defined by Section 100-13 of the Zoning Code.
8. It is also the opinion of this Board that: (a)
there are other methods feasible for appellant to pursue
other than a variance; (b) the relief requested is not
within the character of the immediate area and will be a
substantial change, creating other precedents to follow;
(c) the practical difficulties claimed are not sufficient
to warrant the granting of the relief requested; (d) the
circumstances of the property are not unique; (e) there
will not be an increase in population density thus created
by this variance; (f) that in view of all the above
factors, the interests of justice will be served by denying
the relief requested, as further noted below.
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Douglass, seconded by
Mr. Grigonis, it was determined as follows:
1. A building permit is required for the subject fence~
Southold Town Board of Appeals -10- November 18, 1987 Regular Meeting
(Appl. No. 3592 SNELLENBURG decision, continued:)
2. The relief requested for the fence at a maximum height
of eight feet is denied;
3. The fence shall be permitted to remain at a height
not to exceed 6½ feet provided it is located within the
appellant's property and not onto the neighboring property;
4. The 6½ ft. height of the fence shall not encroach into
the frontyard area (as provided by Section lO0-119.1A of the
Zoning Code).
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Goehringer, Grigonis,
Douglass and Sawicki. (Member Doyen of Fishers Island was absent.)
This resolution was duly adopted.

Southold Town Board of Appeals -12- November 18, 1987 Special Meeting
(Appl. No. 3657 - FRITZ decision, continued:)
3. By this application, appellants request a Variance
from the Provisions of Article III, Section 100-31, Bulk

13,046 sq. ft. with frontage of 100 feet along Cedar Lane
and lot depth of 143.21 feet; (b) Parcel B of 17,182 sq. ft.
with frontage of 117.02 feet along Cedar Lane and lot depth
of 143.21 feet. Parcel B would contain the existing dwelling.

facts have been confirmed:
(a) the parcel adjoining the subject premises at
the north side consists of an area of 1.2± acres and is iden-
tified on the Suffolk County Tax Maps as Section 78, Block 7,
Lot 42. There is an appeal pending at this time for variances
to divide the 1.2± acres into two substandard lots. No action
has been taken as of this date by this Board.
(b) the parcel adjoining the subject premises on
the west side consists of an area of one acre and is identified
on the Suffolk County Tax Maps as Section 78, Block 7, Lot 43.
There is an appeal pending at this time for variances to divide
this one-acre parcel into two substandard lots. No action has
been taken by this Board as of the date of rendering this
decision.
(c) the second parcel to the north of the subject
premises contains an area of 26,500+ sq. ft. in area;
(d) the third parcel to the north of the subject
premises contains an area of 30,475± sq. ft. in area;

(f) the lots proposed by this application are sub-
less than those generally existing within the same
(g) the lot under question which presently contains
Southold Town Board of Appeals-13- November 18, 1987 Special Meeting
(Appl. No. 3657 - FRITZ decision, continued:)
an area of 30,228 sq. ft. is not out of character of the
parcels existing within this block.
5. It is also noted for the record that:
(a) on January 31, 1956, the subject parcel was
conveyed to James and Marie Grant [see Deed at Liber 4059 pages
101 and 102];
(b) on March 17, 1965, a portion of the subject
premises [then referred to as Lot #44) was conveyed from James
and Marie Grant to the sole name of James Grant [see Deed at
Liber 5717 cp 97;
(c) at the inception of the minimum 40,000 sq. ft.
lot-size requirement in November of 1971, Lot #44 remained in
the sole name of James Grant, and the remaining portion [then
Lot #45] remained in joint ownership between James and Marie
Grant];
(d) during May of 1983, the Town increased the lot-
size requirements under zoning from 40,000 sq. ft. to 80,000
sq. ft.;
(e) Mr. Grant's date of death was recorded to be
February 27, 1984;
(f) the Will of Mr. Grant conveyed Lot #44 [from
James Grant] to Marie Grant;
(g) Lots #44 and #45 remained in the sole name of
Marie Grant from February 27, 1984 until December ll, 1985,
at which time both Lots #44 and #45 were conveyed in one deed
to Clyde and Joyce Fritz, at Liber 9942 page 460.
(h) no other conveyances were found of record
and the merger was in effect for a period of approximately
3½ years.
6. 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.
7. The amount of relief requested for Lot A as to
Southold Town Board of Appeals -14- November 18, 1987 Special Meeting
(Appl. No. 3657 FRITZ decision, continued:)
insufficient lot area is 66,954 sq. ft. or a percentage
of 84%. The amount of relief requested for Lot B as to
insufficient lot area is 62,818 sq. ft. or a percentage
of 78.5%. The amount of relief requested as to lot width
for each parcel is 32 feet, or 18 percent.
8. It is the opinion of the Board that the percentages
of relief requested are substantial in relation to the zoning
requirements and the granting of the variances requested will
not be within the character of the lots within the immediate
block.
9. In considering this application, the Board also
finds and determines that: (a) the difficulties claimed are
not sufficient to warrant a granting of the relief requested;
(b) the percentage of relief requested is substantial in
relation to the requirements and in relation to the area~
(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 area of .686 acre(s) is already substan-
tially less than the current area requirements; (e) the
variance, if granted, will in turn cause a substantial effect
on the safety, health, welfare, comfort, convenience and
order of the town, and will set a precedent; (f) in view
of the manner in which the difficulties arose and in considera-
tion of all the above factors, the interests of justice will
be served by denying the variances applied.
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Grigonis, seconded by
Mr. Douglass, it was
RESOLVED, DENY the relief requested under Appl.
No. 3657 in the Matter of the Application of CLYDE FRITZ.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Goehringer, Grigonis,
Douglass and Sawicki. (Member Doyen of Fishers Island was
absent.) This resolution was duly adopted.

enclosure is proposed at approximately l0 feet around the pool.
4. Article III, Section 100-32 of the Zoning Code
permits such accessory structures in the rearyard area. The
appellants' rearyard area is that area between the top of the
bluff (at an elevation of 122 feet above mean sea level) and
the existing dwelling. Article XI~ Section 100-119.2 enacted
during 1985 prohibits construction within 100 feet of the
bluff, and'locating this proposed accessory structure in
the required rearyard would also require variances.
5. It is the opinion of the Board that the location
of the proposed structure in the area requested with a setback
of more than 300 feet from the front property line: (a)
(a) will not affect the immediate residential areas and
is private; (b) does exceed the general frontyard setback
for principal structures; (c) is more feasible than
disturbance of the land within the 100 ft. setback of the
bluff during the course of construction of same.
6. In considering this appeal, the Board also finds
and determines that the grant of the relief requested: (a)
is the minimal necessary under the circumstances; (b) the
circumstances of the property are unique and are not personal
in nature; (c) there will be no substantial change in the
character of the area; (d) there is no other method feas-
ible for appellants to pursue other than a variance; (e)
in view of all the above factors, the interests of justice
will be served.
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Grigonis, seconded by
Mr. Sawicki, it was
RESOLVED, to GRANT the relief requested in the Matter
of the Application of WILLIAM AND VERA MOLCHAN under Appeal
No. 3684 to locate a proposed inground swimmingpool with
decks and fence enclosure, as applied and SUBJECT TO THE
FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
That the setback from the front property line along
Southold Town Board of Appeals -17- November 18, 1987 Special Meeting

Ruth Road be not less than 300 feet and from the side
property lines at not less than 40 feet (as applied).
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Goehringer, Grigonis,
Douglass, and Sawicki. (Member Doyen of Fishers Island was
absent.) This resolution was duly adopted.
DELIBERATIONS/DECISION: Appeal No. 3678:

Location of Property: Corner of Main Road and the West Side
of Peconic Lane, Peconic, NY; County Tax Map Parcel No.
1000-75-5-10. Zone District: "B-I" General Business.
The Board deliberated and took the following action:
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held and concluded on Novem-
ber 10, 1987 in the Matter of the Application of DAVID LaFRENIERE
under Appeal No. 3678; and
WHEREAS, at said hearing all those who desired to be heard

WHEREAS, the Board has carefully considered all testimony
and documentation submitted concerning this application; and
WHEREAS, the Board Members have personally viewed and are
familiar with the premises in question, its present zoning, and
the surrounding areas; and
WHEREAS, the Board made the following findings of fact:
1. The premises in question is located in the "B-l" General
Business Zoning District and is a 16,046± sq. ft. parcel of land
improved with: (a) an existing principal building, (b) accessory
wood shed structure, as more particularly shown on Site Plan

Southold Town Board of Appeals -18- November 18, 1987 Special Meeting
(Appl. No. 3678 - LaFRENIERE decision, continued:)
2. The subject premises is a corner lot as defined by
Section 100-13 of the Zoning Code with 40.75' frontage along
the west side of Peconic Lane and 184.45~ frontage along the
north side of the Main Road (State Route 25) and identified on
the Suffolk County Tax Maps as District lO00, Section 75, Block
5, Lot 10.
3. By this application, appellant requests a Variance
from the Provisions of Article VII, Section 100-71, Bulk
Schedule of the Zoning Ordinance for permission to construct
a 629 sq. ft. addition (and of a size 16± feet by 40 feet)
which would leave a setback from the westerly (side) property
line at 18'6" at its closest point. The remaining sides of
the proposed addition are proposed in line with the existing
building (without protrusion into the other yard areas).
4. Article VII, Section lO0-71, Bulk Schedule of the
Zoning Code requires a minimum sideyard setback at 25 feet.
The present setback of the existing building from this
westerly (side) property line is 28+ feet. The percentage
of relief requested from the requirement is 26%, or 6'6~'
5. It is noted for the record that on October 2, 1987,
copies of this project were referred to the Southold Town
Planning Board which involves site-plan review, and there
appears to be no objection to the general layout. It is
therefore presumed that the applicant will be able to comply
with all site-plan elements of the Code with the location
of the addition as proposed.
6. *It is the position of this Board that parking of
vehicles to be serviced on this site must be placed behind
the principal and accessory buildings in the northerly
yard area in order to allow easy access and parking by
customers in the other yard areas (which are to remain
open with an unobstructed access along both streets).
7. In considering this appeal, the Board also finds
and determines: (a) that the relief requested is not sub-
stantial in relation to the requirement; (b) the variance
will not in turn be adverse to the safety, health, welfare,
comfort, convenience or order of the town; (c) there will
Southold Town Board of Appeals -19- November 18, 1987 Special Meeting
(Appl. No. 3678 - LaFRENIERE decision, continued:)
be no substantial detriment to adjoining properties; (d)
the project is not unreasonable and within the spirit of the
zoning code; (e) the circumstances are unique and are not
personal in nature; (f) that in view of all the above
factors, the interests of justice will best be served by
granting the variance, as conditionally noted below.
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Sawicki, seconded by
Mr. Grigonis, it was
RESOLVED, to GRANT a reduction in the westerly sideyard
setback from the required 25 feet to 18 feet six inches as
applied in the Matter of the Application of DAVID LaFRENIERE
under Appeal No. 3678, SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
I. *Any and all dismantled
serviced shall be placed within
area only;
vehicles or vehicles to be
the most northerly (rearyard)
2. The addition shall not exceed the size requested;
3. The westerly (side) yard setback shall not be less
than that requested at 18'6".

Douglass and Sawicki. (Member Doyen of Fishers Island was
absent.) This resolution was duly adopted.

DELIBERATIONS/DECISION: Appeal No. 3683:
Application of GEORGE L. PENNY, INC. for a Variance to the Zoning
Ordinance, Article XI, Section 100-119.1, for permission to erect fence
in the frontyard area at a height not to exceed 6½ feet. Location of
Property: North Side of Sound Avenue (or North Road), and the South
Side of C.R. 48 (Middle Road), Mattituck, NY; County Tax Map Parcel
No. 1000-141-3-38.1.
The Board deliberated and took the following action:
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held and concluded on November 10,
1987 in the Matter of the Application of GEORGE L. PENNY, INC. under
Appl~ No. 3683; and
Southold Town Board of Appeals -23- November 18, 1987 Special Meeting
(Appl. No. 3683 PENNY decision, continued:)
WHEREAS, at said hearing all those who desired to be heard
were heard and their testimony recorded; and
WHEREAS, the Board has carefully considered all testimony
and documentation submitted concerning this application; and
WHEREAS, the Board Members have personally viewed and are
familiar with the premises in question, its present zoning, and
the surrounding areas; and
WHEREAS, the Board made the following findings of fact:
1. This is an application requesting a Variance from the
Provisions of Article XI, Section lO0-119.1A for permission to
erect six-and-one-half foot high fencing along/near the perimeter
of premises for security purposes and as more particularly shown
on sketched map of Property of George L. Penny, Inc. (prepared
April 14, 1972 by Roderick VanTuyl & Son).
2. The premises in question is a 3.887+ acre parcel
having frontage along three streets, namely: Sound Avenue (or
the Old North Road) of 131± feet in width, Route 48 (or Middle
Road) of 306± feet in width, and Westphalia Avenue of 23+
feet.
3. The subject premises is located in the "C-Light
Industrial'~ Zoning District and is and has been used as
a yard for the sale and storage of building and related
materials and supplies, (a permitted use in this Zone).
4. Article XI, Section lO0-119.1 permits fences, walls,
hedges, or other live plantings when located in the front yard
along the front yard property line not exceeding four (4) feet
in height and when located along side and rear lot lines, the
same shall not exceed six and one-half feet in height. When
located other than in the frontyard area or along side or rear
lot lines, Subsection C permits the same at a height not
exceeding eight (8) feet.
5. For the record it is noted that it is not unusual for
this Board to require suitable screening or fencing of this
nature around the periphery of the area used for outside stor-
age. This parcel is unique particularly since it fronts on
three public streets, and the Board agrees that a fence of
Southold Town Board of Appeals -24- November 18, 1987 Special Meeting
(Appl. No. 3683 - PENNY decision, continued:)
four feet in height would not be effective in deterring
vandals and other unauthorized persons from entering the
premises.
6. It is also noted for the record that the portion of
the fence within this Board's jurisdiction is that portion
located in the frontyard area and more specifically off of
Sound Avenue (or Old North Road). The remaining sections
of the proposed fence are along and/or within the side and
rear yard areas which permit a fencing height at six-and-
one-half feet.
7. In making this determination, the Board has also
found: (a) the circumstances of the property are unique;
(b) the percentage of relief requested is not substantial;
(c) the grant of this variance will not create a detriment
to adjoining properties; (d) the difficulty cannot be
obviated by a method feasible to appellant other than a
variance; (e) no adverse effects will be produced on
available governmental facilities of any increased popula-
tion; (f) in view of all the above factors, the interests
of justice will be served by granting the variance, as
further noted below.
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Goehringer, seconded by
Mr. Sawicki, it was
RESOLVED, to GRANT the relief requested under Appeal
No. 3683 in the Matter of the Application of GEORGE L.
PENNY, INC. to erect a fence along/near the frontyard areas
at a height not to exceed six-and-one-half (6½ feet, as
applied.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Goehringer, Grigonis,
Douglass and Sawicki. (Member Doyen of Fishers Island was
absent.) This resolution was duly adopted.

WHEREAS, at said hearing all those who desired to be he~rd
were heard and their testimony recorded; and
WHEREAS, the Board has carefully considered all testimony
and documentation submitted concerning this application; and
WHEREAS, the Board Members have personally viewed and are
familiar with the premises in question, its present zoning, and
the surrounding areas; and
WHEREAS, the Board made the following Findings of Fact:
1. The premises in question is locate~ in the A Residential
Zoning District and is more particularly identified as shown on
the Suffolk County Tax Maps, District 1000, Section 80, Block 1,
Lot 46, and referred to as Lots 9 and part of 8, Map of Reydon

with setbacks at 63± feet from the front property line along
West Shore Drive, closest setback at the west side at 6.2 feet,
at the east side at 22 feet, and from the existing bulkhead at

Southold Town Board of Appeals -26- November 18, 1987 Special Meeting
(Appl. No. 3679 - SCHISSEL decision, continued:)
3. By this application, appellants request a Variance
from the Provisions of Article XI, Section 100-119.2(B) for
the proposed construction of a 15' by 26.6 deck addition at the
rear of the existing dwelling reducing the setback from the
existing bulkhead from 68 feet to 53 feet. The rear property
line is shown to be seaward of the existing bulkhead.
4. Article XI, Section lO0-119.2(B) requires all buildings
and structures located on lots adjacent to tidal water bodies
other than the Long Island Sound to be set back not less than
seventy-five (75) feet from the ordinary highwater mark of such
tidal water body, or not less than seventy-five (75) feet from
the landward edge of the tidal wetland, whichever is the greater
distance.
5. For the record it is noted that the dwelling to the
west appears closer than the setback of the subject dwelling
(as exists), and the addition is proposed landward of the
15-foot elevation contour line.
6. It is the opinion of this Board that the relief
requested for a 15-ft. extension is not unreasonable and the
percentage of relief requested is not substantial in relation
to those generally existing in the area.
7. In making this determination, the Board also finds:
(a) the circumstances are unique and are not personal in
nature; (b) there will not be an increase in population
density thus created by this variance; (c) there is no other
method feasible for appellants to pursue other than a variance;
(d) the lot size is substandard; (e) the variance will not
be adverse to the safety, health, welfare, comfort, convenience
or order of neighboring properties or of the town; (f) that in
view of all the above factors, the interests of justice will be
served by granting the relief requested, as conditionally noted
below.
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Goehringer, seconded by
Mr. Douglass, it was
RESOLVED, to GRANT the relief requested under Appl.

the Zoning Ordinance, Article III, Section 100-31, Bulk Schedule, for
permission to construct addition to dwelling with an insufficient set-
back from the closest point of arc along the front property line.
Location of Property: North Side of Sailors Lane (a private road),
approximately 147 feet west of Little Peconic Bay Road, Nassau Point,
Cutchogue, NY; County Tax Map Parcel No. 1000-111-14-7.
The Board deliberated and took the following action:
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held and concluded on November 10,
1987 in the Matter of the Application of LEONARDUS AND MARIE VANOUDEN-
ALLEN under Appl. No. 3680; and
WHEREAS, at said hearing all those who desired to be heard
were heard and their testimony recorded; and
WHEREAS, the Board has carefully considered all testimony
and documentation submitted concerning this application; and
WHEREAS, the Board Members have personally viewed and are
familiar with the premises in question, its present zoning, and
the surrounding areas; and
WHEREAS, the Board made the following findings of fact:
1. The premises in question is a described parcel of land
located along the north side of Sailors Lane, Cutchogue, and is
more particularly shown and identified on the Suffolk County Tax
Maps as District 1000, Section 114, Block 14, Lot 7.
2. The subject premises contains a lot area of approximately
.65 of an acre, and is improved with a single-family, two-story
frame dwelling (constructed 1/23/67 under Building Permit #3365Z
and under Building Permit #15418 issued 10/22/86). The existing
dwelling is set back 35 feet from the front property line along
Sailors Lane, 12 feet from the easterly side yard, 100 feet from
the westerly side yard, and 104 feet from the rear property line
(at its closest points). The dwelling with the westerly addition
is shown to be set back 28'9" as shown by survey amended Septem-
ber 16, 1986, prepared by Roderick VanTuyl, P.C. from the closest
point along the arc of the cul-de-sac and 32'2" at the southwesterly
Southold Town Board of Appeals -29- November 18, 1987 Special Meeting
(Appl. No. 3680 - VANOUDENALLEN decision, continued:)
corner of the westerly addition.
3. By this application, appellants request a Variance from
the Provisions of Article III, Section 100-31, Bulk Schedule of
the Zoning Code, for approval of the construction of an open
brick porch, steps and planter construction, of a size 20' deep
by 12'2" wide, leaving an insufficient setback from the front
property line at not less than 15 feet.
4. Article III, Section lO0-31, Bulk Schedule require a
minimum frontyard setback at 35 feet or the established setback
within 300 feet on the same side of the street on the same block
for a principal building.
5. Article I, Section lO0-13 of the Zoning Code excludes
~'steps and open porches projecting not more than five (5) feet
from the exterior walls and having an area of not more than
thirty (30) square feet .... " Since this open porch area
exceeds this requirement, a variance is necessary.
6. It is the understanding of this Board that the open
porch construction will remain open at all times, without
any temporary or permanent enclosure (as constructed).
7. The open porch construction was shown on the survey
amended September 16, 1986, submitted with the Building
Permit application; however, the building plan did not show
same. The record is not clear as to the exact date the
existing construction took place, except that the Notice of
Disapproval was issued September 30, 1987, and a final
inspection was approved on November 5, 1987, and the
construction existed prior to September 30, 1987.
8. It should be understood that the variance granted
for the open porch/platform construction shall not be
considered an extension of the principal building floor
area and accordingly shall not be used in calculating the
"average" of setbacks (Section 100-23) in the frontyard of
existing dwellings within 300 feet on this street.
9. For the record it is noted that a previous appeal has
been granted concerning these premises under Appl. No. 3559
Southold Town Board of Appeals -30- November 18, 1987 Special Meeting
(Appl. No. 3680 VANOUDENALLEN decision, continued:)
rendered October 10, 1986 for the setback of the addition
at 28'9" and 32'2' along the arc in the frontyard area.
lO. In considering this appeal, the Board also finds
and determines:
(a) the location of the property at the end of
a cul-de-sac lends to the unique circumstances herein~
(b) the variance will not in turn cause a sub-
stantial effect of increased population density or be
adverse to the safety, health, welfare, comfort, convenience
or order of the town;
(c) the practical difficulties are sufficient~
(d) there will be no substantial detriment to
adjoining properties;
(e) the relief requested is substantial;
(f) in view of the manner in which the difficulties
arose and considering all the above factors, the interests of
justice will be served by granting the variance, as noted
below.
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Goehringer, seconded by
Mr. Sawicki, it was
RESOLVED, to GRANT a Variance for approval of the
open brick construction as an entranceway (with platform,
steps and planter), as applied, in the Matter of the Appli-
cation of LEONARDUS AND MARIE VANOUDENALLEN under Appl.
No. 3680, with the understanding that the setback of same
shall not be used as the "principal building setback"
in establishing the "average-setback" standards provided
in Section 100-33, and that the construction remain open,
unroofed, and without a temporary or permanent enclosure
of any type [except by formal application and consideration
by this Board].

familiar with the premises in question, its present zoning, and
the surrounding areas; and
WHEREAS, the Board made the following findings of fact:
1. The premises in question is known and referred to as
Lot #124 as shown on the Map of Pebble Beach Farms Inc.~ No. 2,
and designated on the Suffolk County Tax Maps as District lO00,
Section 30, Block 2, Lot 74~
2. The subject premises contains a total lot area of .635
acre(s) and is improved with a single-family dwelling set back
as shown by survey prepared by Young and Young dated May 2, 1987
48.9 feet at its closest point from the front property line along
The Strand and 80 feet at its closest point from the average line
of bluff. The sideyards are presently 10 feet at the east side
and 20 feet from the foundation line at the west side (although
7.5 feet at the west side from the carport addition)~
3. By this application, appellant appeals from a Notice
of Disapproval from the Building Inspector issued August 26, 1987
Southold Town Board of Appeals -32- November 18,
(Appl No. 3673 ~'M~A~rO~;decision, continued:)
1987 Special Meeting
for permission to locate inground swimmingpool with deck and
fence enclosure as sketched on the May 2, 1987 survey. The
pool is proposed with a setback at not less than 80 feet from
the average line of bluff, and approximately 7½ feet from the
west side property line. The fence enclosure is proposed at
75 feet from the average line of bluff and three or more feet
from the west side property line.
4. Article XI, Section 100-119.2, subparagraph A[1]
the Zoning Code requires all buildings proposed on lots
adjacent to the Long Island Sound to be set back not less
than one-hundred (100) feet from the top of the bluff.
of
5. It is noted that sections of the lot have been filled,
and the rearyard area currently slopes toward the bluff. Along
the western side of the property and onto the adjoining lot,
there is a low area (or drainage way) which also slopes toward
the bluff. The bluff face is well vegetated with woody vegeta-
tion, mostly of Bayberry, and appears stabile. It is the
opinion of this Board that actions are necessary to reduce any
possibilities of concentrated water flows from flowing down
the bluff face, such as grading the rearyard area away from
the bluff. Constructing the swimmingpool at an elevation sub-
stantially lower than the top of the bluff and installing
gutters, downspouts and drywells for roof runoff will also
alleviate potential problems.
6. In considering this appeal, the Board also finds and
determines that by locating the proposed construction as
further noted below: (a) the variance will be minimal and
will not be substantial in relation to the zoning requirement,
being a variance 15 feet, or 15%; (b) there will be no
substantial change in the character of the area since
relief has been granted for similar bluff areas/properties
along the Long Island Sound; (c) the circumstances of the
property are unique; (d) the practical difficulties claimed
are sufficient to warrant the relief as alternatively granted;
(e) there is no other method feasible for appellant to pursue
other than a variance; (f) in view of all the above factors,
the interests of justice will be served.
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Goehringer, seconded by
Mr. Sawicki, it was
Southold Town Board of Appeals -33- November 18, 1987 Special Me,tin§
(Appl. No. 3673 - MIHALIOS decision, continued:)

the Matter of the Application of NICK MIHALIOS under Appeal
No. 3673, and SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:

2. That there be no excavation or disturbance of land
within 80 of the average line of bluff;
3. That the pool be located not closer than seven
and the deck not closer than three feet to the west side

5. That drywell(s) be installed, and leaders and gutters
be piped (for proper drainage into. the dryw~lls)~
6. That no surface water or other discharges flow over
top of bluff, and the rearyard be regraded toward the house.
7. No lighting which may be adverse to neighboring
properties;

Southold Town Board of Appeals -34- November 18, 1987 Special Meeting
DELIBERATIONS/DECISiON: Appl. No. 3564:
Application of JOHN DEMPSEY/ROBIN RAEBURN for Variances: (a) for
final approval under New York Town Law, Section 280-a over the existing
private right-of-way, and (b) for permission to locate proposed dwell-
ing with an insufficient setback from top of bluff along the Long Island
Sound, per Article XI, Section lO0-119.2. Location of Property:
Extending at the north end of a private right-of-way (traveled over
lands of Bokina from the north side of Bridge Lane Extension and Oregon
Road in a northerly direction) to the subject premises identified on
the Suffolk County Tax Naps as District 1000, Section 73, Block 2,
Lot 3.6 (prev. 3.4 and 3.5).
The Board deliberated and took the following action:
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held and concluded on Novem-
ber 10, 1987 in the Matter of the Application of JOHN DEMPSEY
under Appl. No. 3564; and
WHEREAS, at said hearing all those who desired to be heard
were heard and their testimony recorded; and
WHEREAS, the Board has carefully considered all testimony
and documentation submitted concerning this application; and
WHEREAS, the Board Members have personally viewed and are
familiar with the premises in question, its present zoning, and
the surrounaing areas; and
WHEREAS, the Board made the following Findings of Fact:
7. The premises in question is locatea in the A-40 Residential
Zoning District and is known and referred to as Lot No. 2 on the
Minor Subdivision Map of Robin A. Raeburn and Mary Elizabeth Mur-
phy prepared February 5, 1979, amended September 26, 1979, by
Roderick VanTuyl, P.C. and endorsed by the Cha.irman of the
Southold Town Planning Board on October 2, 1987.
2. The subject premises contains a total area of 48,525±
sq. ft., is presently vacant ~nd is identified on the Suffolk
County Tax Maps as District 1000, Section 73, Block 2, Lot 3.6
(formerly 3.5 and 3.4).
3. By this application, appellant requests: (a) Variance
from the Provisions of Article XI, Section 100-119.2 for permis-
sion to locate a new Single-family dwelling structure with an
insufficient setback from 75-ft. bluff contour line at 22± feet,
and from the line depicted "top of bluff" which appears at an
el6vation lower than the 75-foot elevation line at 28+ feet (see
Map prepared by Anthony W. Lewandowski July 14, 1986)
Southold Town Board of Appeals -35- November 18,
(Appl. No. 3564 - DEMPSEY decision, continued:)
1987 Special
Meeting
(b) Variance pursuant to New York Town Law, Section 280-a
for final approval over existing right-of-way.
4. Article XI, Section 100-119.2, subparagraph A[1]
requires all buildings proposed on lots adjacent to the
Long Island Sound to be set back not less than one-hundred
(100) feet from the top of the bluff, or bank.
5. On-site inspections find as follows:
(a) the predominant vegetation on the bluff face
is Bayberry; however, areas along the top 20 feet of the
bluff face are completely bare of vegetation;
(b) the bottom third of the bluff face from the toe
of the slope to approximately 40 feet up the face is also
completely barren of vegetation. This is a very critical
area and poses a great threat of erosion from wave action
during storm activity. Without the necessary support at
the toe of the slope, the soil above will slide downward
and erode during or following storm activity. Any structures
in close proximity to the edge are in danger of falling over
if such erosion should take place;
(c) the toe of the slope must be stabilized to
prevent continual erosion of the bluff with a bulkhead or
similar structure.
6. The dwelling as proposed is shown with a setback
at 80± feet from the southeasterly corner of the dwelling
and at 50± feet to the southerly property line. The
angle of the bluff line is almost parallel with the south-
erly property line, and the dwelling is angled 30± degrees
to the north.
7. The upland distance between the outer edge of the
top of the bluff and the southerly property line averages
to 114± feet. The dimensions of the dwelling proposed by
this application scale to 60 feet wide by 35 feet deep.
The total setback footage of the remaining open yard areas
is 79± feet (114 less 35). The Board agrees the property
is unique and variances are warranted; however, the
close placement of the dwelling to the bluff edge not only
appears unsafe and unreasonable, but also unwarranted.
Southold Town Board of Appeals -36- November 18, 1987 Special Meeting
(Appl. No. 3564 - DEMPSEY decision, continued:)
8. Although there is a dwelling existing along the
Long Island Sound bluff 225 or more feet (to the east) and
a dwelling existing further to the west of the subject
parcel, each parcel is unique not only as to size, shape
and character, but also as to eroding bluff conditions.
This Board finds that no structures should be permitted
closer than 40 feet to the highest point of the bluff
(or the 75-foot elevation line under consideration) for
purposes of safety, health, welfare, convenience and order.
9. The right-of-way over which appellant has requested
280-a consideration is situated at the north side of Oregon
Road (and Bridge Lane Extension), and extends in a northerly
direction along the east side of Baxter's right-of-way and
over lands of Bokina, a distance of 1868 feet, more or less,
to a survey monument, then extending in an easterly direction
along the northerly portion of lands also of Bokina, to the
subject premises, a distance of 250 feet, more or less.
10. The applicant and his attorneys are aware that this
Board does not have authority to determine or grant right-of-way
easements; and this action does not grant or otherwise affect
the appellant's rights, if any, to enter over and upon these
lands.
ll. It is also noted for the record: (a) that under
Appeal No. 2609, a conditional 280-a Variance was granted on
January 22, 1980 concerning this right-of-way~ (b) that
under Appeal No. 3478, a conditional temporary 280-a Variance
was granted on September 11, 1986 concerning this right-of-way~
(c) that to date no improvements have been made which would
satisfy the requirements of the prior Z.B.A. actions or the
requirements of New York Town Law, Section 280-a.
12. It is again the opinion of this Board that improve-
ments will be necessary upon the right-of-way for sufficient
access by fire and emergency vehicles, as further noted below.
13. It shall be understood that no building permits
shall be issued or construction take place until compliance
with these requirements and pursuant to New York Town Law,
Section 280-a.
14. In granting alternative relief herein, the Board
finds: (a) the relief is substantial in relation to the
requirements; (b) there will be no substantial change in
the character of this district; (c) the relief as conditioned
herein will not cause a substantial detriment to adjoining
properties; (d) the circumstances of the property are unique;
(e) there is no other method feasible for appellant to pursue

(Appl. No. 3564 DEMPSEY decision, continued:)
other than a variance;
the difficulty arose and
factors, justice will be
(f) in view of the manner in which
in consideration of all the above

Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Goehringer, seconded by
Mr. Sawicki, it was
RESOLVED, that:
(1) The application as to an insufficient setback from
the top of bluff as applied is DENIED;

were heard and their testimony recorded; and
WHEREAS, the Board has carefully considered all testimony

Southold Town Board of Appeals -42-November 18, 1987 Special Meeting
(Appl. No. 3675 - MULLEN decision, continued:)
4. The relief requested by this application is a
reduction from the present 33.5 feet for a 19' by 29' wide
addition, to a setback at not less than 15 feet at the
northeast corner and with a setback of approximately 20
feet at the northwest corner from the northerly front
property line (along the Main Road). A lO-foot grass
buffer area exists between the applicant's property line
and the street line. The setback from the westerly front
property line (along Cottage Place) will not be reduced by
this proposed project.
5. In viewing the immediate area, it is noted that
principal buildings in the area are set back off the Main
Road at a similar or lesser setback than that proposed
herein.
6. It is noted for the record that although provision
has been made for the residential zoning district under
Article III, Section 100-33 of the Zoning Code for similar
circumstances, no provision has been added under the B-l
General Business District which would permit the average
setback of existing structures within 300 feet on the same
side of the street, same block, and same use district.
7. It is the opinion of this Board that the grant of
this variance: (a) will not cause a change in the character
of this district; (b) will not cause a substantial effect
or detriment to adjoining properties; (c) is the minimal
necessary and is not substantial in relation to those
established in the immediate area; (d) will be within
the spirit of the zoning ordinance.
8. It was further determined that: (a) the circum-
stances of the property are unique and are not personal in
nature; (b) there is no other method feasible for appellant
to pursue other than a variance; (c) in view of all the
above factors, the interests of justice will be served by
granting the variance, as conditionally noted below.
