ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
FORM ZB4
This is an appeal for a use variance to permit residentially
zoned property to be used as a branch real estate office.
The premises in question are located on the north side of
Sound Avenue, and comprises approximately 40,241 square feet in
area. The property is improved with a 1-1/2-story wood frame
dwelling house, together with a detached private garage. It is
designated on the Suffolk County Tax Map as District 1000, Sec-
tion 120, Block 1, Lot 2.2. All neighboring property is in the
"A" use district. The dwelling is occupied by appellant and her
children as a private residence. It is the intention of the
appellant to use a portion of the dwelling for the operation of
a branch real estate office. Although the zoning code permits
certain specified professional offices to be located in a private
dwelling, as an accessory use, subject to specified conditions,
a real estate office is not one of these specified uses. Accord-
ingly, such a use may only be allowed by the grant of a use
variance.
It is well established that before a use variance may be
granted by this board, unnecessary hardship must be demonstrated
by proof that: (1) the land cannot yield a reasonable return if
used only for the purpose allowed by the code; (2) that the
plight of the owner is due to unique circumstances and not to
the general conditions in the neighborhood, and (3) that the
use applied for will not alter the essential character of the
neighborhood.
At the hearing, the only proof submitted was applicant's
statement bearing on the suitability of the building and land
for the intended use. No evidence was presented on the issue of
unnecessary hardship. In the absence of such proof, this board
may not grant a variance.
At the hearing, certain legal questions were presented in
opposition to the grant of this variance. However, since the
board must deny the application for the reasons stated, the
board deems it unnecessary to address such issues.
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Douglass, seconded by Mr.
Grigonis, it was
RESOLVED, to deny Appeal No. 2944, application of Barbara
Kujawski in which permission was requested to conduct a real
estate branch office at premises known as 125 Sound Avenue, Mat-
tituck, NY.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Grigonis, Doyen and
Douglass. Member Goehringer abstained from vote. Member
Sawicki was absent.

Re:
Application of Barbara Kujawski
For a Use Variance
Dear Chairman Goehringer and Members of the Board:
On behalf of our client, John Kujawski, Jr., we
hereby reiterate our opposition to the application of
Barbara Kujawski for a use variance for property located
at 125 Sound Avenue in Mattituck. As I stated to the
Board at the last hearing of this matter on February 4,
1982, and as is stated in my letter of the same date, we
believe that the Board does not have jurisdiction to
hear the application of Barbara Kujawski since she is
not the sole owner of the property. We believe the
Board lacks jurisdiction because John Kujawski, Jr.,
co-owner of the property objects to the variance.
In accordance with the request of Mr. Tasker, the
Town Attorney, I am enclosing a copy of the provision of
the stipulation which was encompassed in the final
judgement of divorce of the co-owners, which in our
opinion, permits the applicant to use the building for
her own real estate office, but does not permit her to
use it as a branch office for another real estate firm.
This is because of the obligation of John Kujawski, Jr.
to pay property taxes, utilities and maintenance on the
building in question.
Gerard Goehringer, Chairman
Southold Zoning Board of Appeals
& the Southold Zoning Board of Appeals
In addition to our jurisdictional objection, we
submit that the application should be denied since the
applicant has not in any way shown that strict
application of the zoning ordinance would produce
practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship. We
submit that a reasonable return on the property can be
obtained by the applicant without varying the use from
that permitted in the "A" Residential Zone.
Sincerely,
Christopher Kelley

Yesterday we mailed a notice to you that the time of your
hearing was changed to 8:40 p.m., but unfortunately today our
office received a request to postpone one of the hearings
scheduled preceding your hearing. Therefore, because of the
time available, your hearing was moved up to 8:25 p.m.,

extra 15 minutes.

PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal No. 2944. Application of Barbara
Kujawski, 125 Sound Avenue, Mattituck, NY for a Variance to the
Zoning Ordinance, Article III, Section 100-30A for permission
to conduct real estate branch office at premises zoned A-Agricul-
tural and Residential, more particularly known as 125 Sound
Avenue, Mattituck, NY; bounded northwest, northeast and east
by J. Kujawski & ano.; south by Sound Avenue; east by LILCO.
County Tax Map Parcel No. 1000-120-1-2.2.
The Chairman opened the hearing at approximately 8:25 p.m.,
read the legal notice of hearing in its entirety and appeal
application.
MR. CHAIRMAN: I am not going to vote on this application
because I am licensed by the State of New York to sell real
estate and I have in the past sold real estate in Southold Town.
Does anybody have any objection to my chairing the meeting,
either attorney or applicant, or-- (There was no objection.)
The Chairman proceeded with the hearing as follows:
We have an updated survey indicating the position of the house on
the property which is approximately 40,241 square feet, which
encompasses a large 1½-story home and a rear garage. And we
have a copy of the Suffolk County Tax Map indicating the surround-
ing properties and this particular property. For anybody in the
audience, the subject property is approximately 50 feet from the
Riverhead Town line in Mattituck on Sound Avenue. Is there any-
body that would like to speak in behalf of the application?
Yes, Mrs. Kujawski.
MRS. BARBARA KUJAWSKI: I think I've pretty well stated it
in the application. When you came to inspect the premises, you
saw that I did have an office that was separated in the house
and closed off to separate it from the rest of the house. I
have a separate bathroom. I have a separate entrance. I do have
a blacktopped driveway that goes from the back of the house to
the garage that probably would adequately park five, six, seven
cars depending on how they park. The only problem I could
foresee is that in order to gain access, you have to go onto
the adjoining piece of property, and if that is a problem which
it hasn't been in the past I would be willing to put a driveway
from the west on the piece to the west of the house, right into
the back of the house.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Is there anybody else that would like to
speak in behalf of the application? (None) Does anybody wish
to speak against the application?
CHRISTOPHER KELLEY, ESQ.: My name is Christopher Kelley, Esq.
from Twomey, Latham and Shae on behalf of Mr. John Kujawski.
This is a tough situation for my client. He feels badly he has
Southold Town of Appeals ~'ebruary 4,
(Appeal No. 2944 - Barbara Kujawski, continued:)
1982
MR. KELLEY continued:
to be here. What our main objection to the application is, is
that there are joint owners of this property. This is not
indicated on the application, but in fact Mr. Kujawski, Mrs.
Kujawski's former husband, is a joint owner of the property.
And it is our position that this board does not have jurisdiction
to hear an application for a use variance without consent of the
joint owner of the property.
We've laid out our position in writing in a letter I would
like to transmit to the board and we have also enclosed a
certified copy of the deed indicating joint ownership.
(The following letter was entered into the record submitted
by Mr. Kelly:
...Dear Chairman Goehringer:
On behalf of our client, John Kujawski, Jr., we hereby
object to the application of Barbara Kujawski for a use
variance for property at 125 Sound Avenue in Mattituck.
This is an application for a variance to use a single
family dwelling located in a residential and agricultural
district for a non-conforming use as a real estate branch
office.
Our client, Mr. Kujawski, is a co-owner of the subject
property as evidenced by deed to the property dated
December 21, 1976, a certified copy of which is submitted
herewith. As a co-owner he objects to the use variance
for this property being granted.
Since the time of the purchase of this property by the
parties, they have been divorced, and pursuant to their
judgment of divorce stipulated to certain uses of the
property. Pursuant to that judgment Barbara Kujawski was
permitted to use the home for her own real estate office,
but was not permitted to rent the space out or use it as
a branch office for another real estate firm. This is
because pursuant to the agreement John Kujawski, Jr. was
required to pay property taxes, utilities and maintenance
on the building.
It is our position that without the consent of both
owners of the property, the Board of Appeals does not have
jurisdiction to hear an application for a use variance.
Reimer v. Dallas, 129 A. 390 (Sup. Ct. NJ 1925).
To allow a use variance on this property without the
co-owner's consent to the application would be to subject
that co-owner to paying the rent and overhead for an
Southold Town Bo~l~d of Appeals
(Appeal No. 2944 Barbara Kujawski,
~bruary 4,
continued:)
1982
outside real estate firm, which was not contemplated by
the parties in the judgment by which they were divorced.
We, therefore, submit to the Board that this application
be withdrawn, as being not made by a proper party, and
wholly be denied.
Sincerely,
/s/ Christopher Kelley .... )
(Photocopy of Deed at Liber 8164 cp 283 and 284 were entered
into the record showing conveyance on December 21, 1976 to
John Kujawski, Jr. and Barbara Kujawski, his wife.)
MR. CHAIRMAN: Thank you.
MR. KELLEY: Since the parties have been divorced, they,
pursuant to their divorce judgment, they were in agreement where-
by Mr. Kujawski allowed, or it was agreed that Mrs. Kujawski
would retain the premises for a period of time, at least until
the youngest of their children reached the age of 21. According
to that agreement, Mr. Kujawski would pay utilities, real estate
taxes and certain maintenance on the house, and it was also
agreed that Mrs. Kujawski could operate her own real estate
business if she was able to get the proper permits and so on.
Unfortunately, that is not what the proposal is tonight, and
that is why my client is concerned. He is concerned that there
will be a, what in effect will be a real estate tenant, a busi-
ness, other than Mrs. Kujawski's, and in effect he will be paying
the overhead of that business, which he never agreed to do and
which he does not think falls within the purview of the divorce
judgment.
If this branch office is allowed to open, my client will
have to pay the utilities, real estate taxes and so forth, which
he doesn't think this ought to be agreed to and which it is our
position he did not agree to. Aside from that we also feel that
there has been no practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship
shown here. Mrs. Kujawski could open her own office, and we don't
feel it is within the character of the neighborhood to have a
commercial property, for instance with signs and traffic and so
forth, coming into a real estate office. The effect would be a
commercial-office building in an area where there are some busi-
nesses uses but they are conforming with the residential-agricul-
tural zone use requirements.
I think you can understand my client's position. We feel
badly that this has to be in front of a zoning board of appeals.
It's really a matrimonial matter. It's something that really
should be worked out in court, or amicably between the parties
is possible which we have also tried to do and has been unable
to. This like I say a matrimonial matter, as s mattsr of sgpser~Bnt

KELLEY continued:
between tho parties; but our position is that this board does not
have jurisdiction without the consent of the co-owner, Mr. John
Kujawski, Jr. Thank you.
MP~CHAIRI~N: Thank you. Is there anybody else that would
like to say anything against this application? (None) Mrs. Ku-
jawski, would you like to say anything in rebuttal?
MRS. KUJAWSKI: I spoke to my attorney this afternoon, and
he said that this should not be brought up end it is not a zoning
board matter. If my ex-husband does not want this which he agreed
to, I have it in writing in my pocketbook signed by him, then it
should have been brought up before ( ) and I don't know where
to go from here. I think maybe an adjournment to get my lawyer
here-- I didn't expect this.
~. CHAIRMAN: I would say that there is the possibility of
recessing the hearing. I don't know how the board feels about it.
I don't know if there is any objection from M_r. Kelley, end I
think if that were the case maybe what we will do is deliberate,
but let's see what Mr. Kellcy says concerning the recessing of
t he hearing, sir,
MR. KELLEY: We would agree to recessing the hearing. It
is our concern that you as members of the ~onzng board of appeals
with zoning expertise will have to pass judgment on the construc-
tion of the separation agreement or judgment. We would consent to
a recessing.
MR. CHAIR~fAN: Excuse me, Mrs. Kujawski, you had something
else to say. We were just discussin~ it.
MRS. KUJAWSKI: This matter really doesn!.t belong in front
of the board. All I'm asking for is what I want on the applica-
tion. This matter here does not belong before the Zoning Board
of Appeals.
~. CHAIR~N: Do you gentlemen wsnt to deliberate on this,
recess, what do you want to do?
~.~BER DOUGLASS: I make a motion to close the hearing ~nd
reserve decision. (Member Douglass thought that Mrs. Kujaw~ki
would have preferred that the hearing be closed inasmuch as per-
sonal matters were br.~ught up.)

important to you feel it is, Mrs. Kujawski, having your attorney

~S. KUJAWSKI: I really am put in between a rock and a hot

I really didn't expect all this nonsense here.
MR. CHAIR~N: You are aware of the fact wh~t happens when
we close the hearing? That means no other information can come
forth. Ok? That's all it really means.
MRS. KUJAWSKI: I rather would have my attorney be given a
chance to do the things theft his attorney is doing.
~. CHAIRi~N: Will you withdraw your motion?
ME~ER DOUGLASS: Let me ask -- do you want, I put a motion
on the floor to close the hearing on what we've got and to reserve
decision. Now this would stop everything right where it is.
Would you rather come back here with an attorney and have two
attorneys tearing things apart more, or do you want to -*
~.~. CHAIR~N: Why don't we take a five-minute recess so that
you can discuss it with the gentleman you have with you, and then
we'll come back, when you're ready come back hopefully by 8:35.
First of all, do you want to press the motion or do you want to --
MEMBER DOUGLASS: No, let M_rs. Kuj~wski tell me what she
desires.
i.~S. KUJAWSKI: Give me five minutes here Just to get my act
together here and I'll be right back.
MEMBER DOUGLASS: You tell us what you desire because if my
motion is passed it will stop it right now. If I withdraw the
motion and you recess thi, yo~ ~re going to h~ve two ~ttorneys
pounding from both sides, and it'll be anything but what you're
asking.
MRS. KUJAWSKI: I'll be right back.
Motion was made by Mr. Goehringer, seconded by ~. Grgionis,
and duly carnied to recess for approximately five minutes.
Motion was made by ~r. Goehringer, seconded by Mr. Grigonis,

Dear Chairman Goehringer:
On behalf of our client, John Kujawski, Jr., we
hereby object to the application of Barbara Kujawski for
a use variance for property at 125 Sound Avenue in
Mattituck. This is an application for a variance to use
a single family dwelling located in a residential and
agricultural district for a non-conforming use as a real
estate branch office.
Our client, Mr. Kujawski, is a co-owner of the
subject property as evidenced by deed to the property
dated December 21, 1976, a certified copy of which is
submitted herewith. As a co-owner he objects to the use
variance for this property being granted.
Since the time of the purchase of this property by
the parties, they have been divorced, and pursuant to
their judgment of divorce stipulated to certain uses of
the property. Pursuant to that judgment Barbara
Kujawski was permitted to use the home for her own real
estate office, but was not permitted to rent the space
out or use it as a branch office for another real estate
firm. This is because pursuant to the agreement John
Kujawski, Jr. was required to pay property taxes,
utilities and maintenance on the building.
It is our position that without the consent of both
owners of the property, the Board of Appeals does not
have juridiction to hear an application for a use
variance. Reimer v. Dallas, 129 A. 390 (Sup. Ct. N.J.

To allow a use variance on this property without
the co-owner's consent to the application would be to
subject that co-owner to paying the rent and overhead
for an outside real estate firm, which was not
contemplated by the parties in the judgment by which
they were divorced. We therefore, submit to the Board
that this application be withdrawn, as being not made by
a proper party, and wholly be denied.
