S~uthold Town'Board of Appeals -2- January 14, 1988 Regular Meeting
DELIBERATIONS/DECISION: Appl. No. 3671:
Application of ANDRE AND THOMAS CYBULSKI. Variance to the Zoning
Ordinance, Article III, Section lO0-30A for permission to utilize
premises for book-publishing operations, wholesale book storage, and
updated 280-A approval over existing private right-of-way for such use.
Zone District: "A" Residential and Agricultural. Location of Property:
West Side Depot Lane, Cutchogue, NY; District 1000, Section 96, Block
5, Lot 1.2 and part of 1.1.
The Board deliberated and took the following action:
WHEREAS, public hearings were held on November 10, 1987 and
December 10, 1987 in the Matter of the Application of ANDRE AND
THOMAS CYBULSKI under Applo No. 3671~ 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:
I. The premises in question is a 5.4867-acre parcel of land
located off the west end of a paper right-of-way extending 187.0
feet off the west side of Depot Lane, Cutchogue, and more parti-
cularly known and identified on the Suffolk County Tax Maps as
District 1000, Section 96, Block 5, Lot 1.2.
2. The subject premises is located in the "A-80" Residential
and Agricultural Zoning District and is improved with four storage
buildings with sizes and setbacks as shown on the March ll, 1987
Survey Map prepared for the applicants by Young & Young Surveyors.
3. By this application, the appellants request Variances:
(a) for permission to establish a book-publishing operation
and wholesale book storage in the most northeasterly frame barn
Southold Town Board of Appeals -3- January 14, 1988 Regular Meeting
(Appl. No. 3671 CYBULSKI decision~ continued:)
structure using a total floor area of 2641 sq. ft. for printing,
finishing, office and uses incidental and customary to the book-
publishing operation, and the remain.ing 3683± sq. ft. of floor
area for wholesale book storage; and
(b) for approval of access under New York Town Law, Section
280-A for the uses requested over a 15.0 ft. wide by 187.0 ft.
right-of-way.
4. For the record, it is noted:
(a) that the subject barn is of wood-frame construction,
(b) the second barn is also of wood-frame construction
and contains a total area of 3717+ sq. ft.;
(c) the third barn is of corrugated metal construction
and contains a total area of 3614± sq. ft.;
(d) the subject premises has up until 1987 been used
as a conforming commercial agricultural use;
(e) by prior Appeal No. 1783 and Planning Board action
during September 1980, the subject premises was separated from an
.692±-acre parcel [adjoining this parcel and referred to as Tax
Map Lot No. 1.1].
5. It is also noted for the record access to the subject
buildings has for many years been over and through the adjoining
Cybulski lot (Lot No. 1.1) and not physically over the requested
right-of-way to the north of the adjoining house (Lot No. 1.1).
6. Properties to the north (along the Long Island Railroad)
are zoned "C-Light Industrial"; along the east side of this
property at the north end "B-Light Business" a length of approxi-
mately 265 feet; directly opposite Depot Lane both "B-Light
Business" and "A" Residential/Agricultural; along the west and
south sides, "A" Residential/Agricultural.
7. Although testimony was given as to the value of the
land and buildings by a local licensed real-estate broker and
appraiser, additional evidence is necessary to evaluation the
return of the property under the existing zoning.
8. It is the personal knowledge of this Board that the
current owners have discontinued their commercial agricultural
uses of the premises for economic reasons during 1987 and the
"agricultural tax-exempt" status has been removed from the
Southold Town Board of Appeals -4- January 14, 1988 Regular Meeting
(Appl. No. 3671 CYBULSKI decision, continued:)
town's assessment rolls.
9. It is the position of this Board that although the
land in question is ideally suited for wholesale storage such
as that applied herein, except however, that it is not within
the best interests of the neighboring residences (and future
residences) to conduct the publishing and printing uses in
the structure as applied, particularly due to the nonconforming
setback at five feet from the easterly property line (at its
closest point) and noise. The principal building under the
"C-Light Industrial" regulations (100-80B[6]) and Bulk
Schedule'is required to be set back 50 feet in the front
yards 30 ft. minimum sideyard, 60 ft. total sideyards,
and 50 ft. rear yard. Consideration of the most westerly
wood-frame building could be considered alternatively.
10. In considering the request for approval of access,
it is questionnable as to whether or not trailers and large
trucks will be able to obtain access over the 15-foot width
of the proposed right-of-way without disturbance to the
neighboring properties.
Accordingly, the Board also finds: (1) that it may not
grant the variances sought by the applicants until alternatives
are considered which would have less impact upon the neighboring
residential community and afford the minimum relief necessary;
(2) the circumstances of this property are unique; (3) it
is presumed that the premises obtained a reasonable return
for the commercial agricultural use and has not been used for
residential purposes.
On motion by Mr. Goehringer, seconded by Mr. Grigonis,
it was
RESOLVED, that the relief requested under Appl. No. 3671
in the Matter of the Application of ANDRE AND THOMAS CYBULSKI
BE AND HEREBY IS DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Goehringer, Grigonis
and Sawicki. (Members Doyen and Douglass were absent.) This
resolution was duly adopted.

Southold Town Board of Appeals -15- January 14, 1988 Regular Meeting
DELIBERATIONS/DECISION: Appl. No. 3691:
Application of HOSNY SELIM for a Variance to the Zoning Ordi-
nance, Article III, Section 100-32 and Article XI, Section 100-119.2
for permission to locate inground swimmingpool with decks and fence
enclosure landward of existing dwelling in the front yard and within
100 feet of the Long Island Sound, at premises known as 855 Sound
Avenue, Mattituck, NY; County Tax Map District 1000, Section 94,
Block 01, Lot 07.
The Board deliberated and took the following action:
WHEREAS, a
ber 10, 1987 in
Appl. No. 3681;
public hearing was held and concluded on Decem-
the Matter of the Application of HOSNY SELIM under
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
containing a total area of approximately 40,000 sq. ft. with
100.55 ft. frontage along the north side of Sound View Avenue at
Mattituck, and more particularly known and identified on the
Suffolk County Tax Maps as District 1000, Section 94, Block 1,
Lot 7.
2. The subject premises is located in the "A-40" Residential
and Agricultural Zoning District and is improved with a single-
family dwelling with setbacks as shown by the October 1, 1983
survey map prepared by Donack Associates (at 55 feet from the
existing bulkhead at its closest point).
3. By this application, the appellant requests a Variance
from the Provisions of: (a) Article XI, Section 100-119.2 and
(b) Article III, Section 100-32 for permission to locate inground

4. Article XI, Section lO0-119.2, 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
ordinary highwater mark and not less than one-hundred (100) feet
from the top of the bluff, or bank.
5. Article III, Section 100-32 of the Zoning Code requires
accessory structures to be located in the rearyard area. For
the record, it is noted that Article III, Section 100-31 of the
Zoning Code permits additions or attachments to a principal
dwelling in the frontyard area provided that the frontyard
setback is not less than 50 feet (Column A-40).
6. For the record it is also noted that a Building Permit
under Appl. No. 15783Z issued March 21, 1987 is pending at this
time.
7. On-site inspections find as follows:
(a) the existing construction is set back 21± feet
from the top of bluff and 55± feet from the highwater mark along
the Long Island Sound;
(b) the area of the proposed pool construction is
in a depression (low area) of the lot. Along the east side of
the depression, the land gently rises and then lowers into a
drainageway sloping onto the adjoining easterly lot.
8. In considering this appeal, the Board also finds and
determines that the placement of the inground pool, either
as an accessory structure or as an addition to the existing
dwelling: (a) is not unreasonable and will not create a
substantial change in the character of the area; (b) the
circumstances are unique; (c~ the construction as ~roposed
is landward of existing building[s] and would not be detri-
mental to the bluff or L.I. Sound areas; (d) there is no
other method feasible for appellants to pursue other than a
variance; (e) the practical difficulties claimed are suffi-
cient to warrant the relief, as alternatively granted below;
Southold Town Board of Appeals -17- January 14, 1988 Regular Meeting
(Appl. No. 3691 - SELIM decision, continued:)
(f) in view of all the above factors, the interests of
justice will be served by granting an alternative location,
in the frontyard area, as noted below.
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Goehringer, seconded by
Mr. Sawicki, it was
RESOLVED, to DENY the location as requested of the inground
pool with decks and fence enclosure, and it was further
RESOLVED, to GRANT the construction of a 20' by 40'
nground pool with decks and fence enclosure in the Matter
f the Application of HOSNY SELIM under Appl. No. 3691, in
the frontyard area, PROVIDED THE POOL:
1. Be situated in a north-south direction, rather than
the requested east-west direction;
2. Be located closer to the easterly side property line
with a setback at not less than 15 feet from the east line and
not less than 36 feet from the westerly side property line;
3. That the actual pool construction be not closer than
36 feet to the west property line; the actual deck and fence
construction be not closer than 30 feet to the westerly
property line;
4. That the proposed construction remain unroofed (as
proposed);
5. Sufficient evergreen screening be placed and maintained
