CG:lk 6/4/81 ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
FORM ZB4
The Board finds and determines as follows:
The premises consists of a parcel of land having frontage on
the south side of Route 25 of 65 feet and a depth of approximately
200 feet. The premises are improved with a 2½-story wood frame
structure, private garage in the rear, and tool shed. The premises
have been prior to zoning occupied for two-family use and accord-
ingly has a nonconforming use status. The Board also finds that
the properties located in the neighborhood on both sides of the
highway are of a character similar to the instant parcel and ac-
cordingly the appellants' circumstances are similar to the cir-
cumstances existing generally in the neighborhood.
It is the opinion of the Board the appellants' plight should
be addressed to the Town Board with a view possibly of rezoning
the area abutting Route 25 to a business area. It is the opinion
of this Board that although applicants have indicated that they
cannot obtain a fair return of the investment, that this situation
generally exists with all neighboring properties.
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. ~rigonis, seconded by Mr.
Goehringer, the appeal is denied.
Location of Property: 52340 Main Road, Southold, NY; County
Tax Map Item No. 1000-63-6-9.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Doyen, Douglass, Goehringer,
Sawicki and Grigonis.

on the first floor of premises owned by them on the south side of Main
Road, Southold, N.Y., with an apartment upstairs.
Form ZB1 (Continue on other side)
REASON FOR APPEAL Continued
1. STRICT APPLICATION OF THE ORDINANCE would produce practical difficulties or unneces-
sary HARDSHIP because there is no other location available flor appellant
to move their florist shop on Main Road, $outhold, N.Y. The parking
facilities at his presente~tablishment are inadequa~, w~reas at
the ~ro~d ~w location ~ere will be eight (8) parki~ spa~s,
which is more ~an ads.ate, as 8~ of their busi~ss i~ ~nduc~
o~r the telethon.
2. The hardship created is UNIQUE and is not shared by all properties alike in the immediate
vicinity of this property and in this use district because apJ.~l~llant's business rec~.~ires
whereas other pro~erties (to wits premises directly across the street)
are ~nducting businesses which are seasonal in nature, selling products
primarily gro~n on the premises unlike appellant.
3 The Variance would observe the spirit of the Ordinance and WOULD NOT CHANGE THE
CHARACTER OF THE DISTRICT because ap~llant would hemo~til~j their business
from the north side of the street to the south side of the street
approximately 30 yards w~st of the existing stere, which w~uld help
ease traffic c~njeation. Further, with the premises occupied as a
residence upstairs, the building would continue to keep its residential

Town of Southold (SD-81-4)
Dear Mr. Grigonis,
Pursuant to the requirements of Sections 1323 to 1332 of the Suffolk
County Charter, the Suffolk County Planning Commission on July 1, 1981
reviewed the above captioned application and after due study and delibera-
tion Resolved to disapprove it because of the following:
1. Sufficient information has not been submitted .to demonstrate
compliance with applicable "use variance" criteria;
2. It constitutes an apparent circumvention of legislative powers
exclusively deligated to the Town Board; and
It would tend to establish a precedent for further business
development in the locale along N.Y.S. Rte 25 inconsistent
with the Town of Southold Development Plan which designates
this area for suburban single family residence development.

March 16, 1981
Southold Town-Zoning Board of Appeals
Southold Town Hall
$outhold, New York
Gentlemen,
I~ regard to John and Mary Pietrodangelo's appeal
for variance #2?82, which would allow a florist shop in the
lower floor of his house, I wish to strongly object. I re-
side direc-tly across the street from the proposed flower
shop and would be adversly affected.
I was in attendance at the March 12 meeting of the zoning
board of appeals and spoke out against the issuing of said
variance and would like to ellaborate on my statements.
I see this attempt to gain a variance as the first
step in the down zoning of my area, and I must stats my op-
position.
I moved into the neighborhood four yea~s ago because of
the country setting, and residential zoning. The view from
my home toward the south, as i~ all directions, is one of
natural beauty. I am strongly against any change, such as
Mr. pietrodangelo's business, that would lessen the beauty of
the neighborhood, paticularly with regard to business signs
and delivery vehicles. It wass suggested when I moved here
to erect a sign for my carpentry business. Without a thought
to the legality of doing so, I regec~ed the idea because !
detest looking at signs. I could have moved to Centereach if
I wanted that.
The board heard Mr. Pietrodangelo's representative men-
tion my wife's greenhouse and business, with the hope that it
would show that my reasons for objecting were purely finan-
cial reasons. The greenhouse mentioned was installed soley
for her pleasure, and has never been used for anything other
than that. It has in no way been used for commercial purposes.
She also has herb gardens from which she sells fresh and dried
herbs. She sells omly home grown products for about five
months of the year, and I don't think that it cen be compared,
as Mr. Pietrodangelo's representative has tried to do, with
a full time florist shop.

Mr. Pietrodangelo has stated that he has eight parking
spaces. Examinatiom of the property shows that he has a sin-
gle lane driveway leading to three parking spaceswhich, when
in use' leave no room, to turn around. This situation will
lead to people backing out onto the main road, or, parking
in the street, where they would be competing for space with
the parishioners of St. Patrick Catholic Church. He has mentioned
that most of his business is telephone business, and that
only on certain holidays would there be much traffic, such as
Easter or Mother's Day. These are the days when the church
traffic and parking as at full capacity.
It seems to me that to looke at the house in question,
there would have to be some structural changes, at least in
regard to windows, to attract customers,, changes Mr. Pietrodangelo
has denied would be done.
I am begging you to deny tis variance for those reasons.
Very ~uly yours

Re: Pietrodangelo Variance
Dear Board of Appeals:
Pursuant to your instructions of last night, we are
submitting the following regarding the Standard of Proof
for a Use Variance in the above matter~
1. ~he amount paid for the land in question and im-
provements thereafter made to said premises total
$60,000.00.
2. Its present value is at least $79,500.00 as per
attached appraisal.
3. Maintenance expenses - see enclosed 1979 and 1980
income tax return Schedule E. Please note that
the schedules show a loss for the last two (2)
years.
4. The land taxes are $1308.00 a year.
5. The amount of mortgage or other encumberances is
$30,000.00 with the Southold Savings Bank which was
executed in 1976.
6. The income from the land for 1980 was $3,675.00.
Please note that Schedule E shows operating ex-
penses in the sum of $5,079.00.
In 1979 the property was not used as applicant's
residence and the operating expense at that time were
$9,119.00. Applicant is no longer residing in these
premises.
From the a~ove, it is obvious that the property is
operating at a loss in its present status and we respect-
fully request that the Board grant the variance as applied
for.
If you require anything further with respect to "the
standards of proof" including testimony, please let me
know and we will be glad to provide it for you.
Again, the land in question, as it presently exists,
can not yield a reasonable return as can be seen from
the documentation attached hereto and 2) the variance will
not alter the essential character of the neighborhood since
it will be moved only approxim tely nine hundred feet (900')
from its present location.
It is located across the street from a retail agricultural
stand. It is located in the vicinity of the American Legion
and is further located on Main Road between the heart of the
Hamlet of Southold and various business to the West including
but not limited to a funeral home, real estate brokerage,
attorney's office, a hardware store and an area where
commercial equipment is stored (Gray's Masonry)

STANDARDS OF PROOF
Use Variance:
The burden of proof for a Use Variance is always on the
applicant to be entitled to a Use Variance, he must satisfy
the "unnecessary hardship standard." According to the case
law of New York, to satisfy this standard the applicant must
establish by competent proof that:
1. the land in question cannot yield a reasonable return
if only for a purpose allowed in that zone.
2. the use to be authorized by the variance will not
alter the essential character of the locality.
The case of Crossroads Recreation v. Broz, 4 NY 2d 39
holds that the issue of "reasonable return" cannot be satisfied
except by a showing of dollars and cents proof in which the
following is established by competent evidence:
1. The amount paid for the land in question
2. Its present value
3. Maintenance expenses
4. Land taxes
5. The amount of mortgages and other encumbrances
6. The income from the land in question.
It is apparent that this dollar and cents proof can be best
established through expert testimony.
The Zoning Board of Appeals has the power to attach reasonable
conditions to a use variance providing that such restrictions go
to the essence of zoning, etc.

Dear Mr. Grigonis:
The Planning Board reviewed the application of John and
Mary Pietrodangelo at a regular meeting held February 11, 1981.
Because the property is in a residential zone, the Planning
Board feels that until such time as a variance is granted by
your board and the square footage of the sales area computed, it
is impossible to determine if the parking is adequate.

Dear Mr. Bruer:

Notes: (SEE REVERSE SIDE)
The Board finds and determines as follows:
The premises consists of a parcel of land having frontage on the south
side of Route 25 of 65 feet and depth of approximately 200 feet. The
premises are improved with a 2-% story wood frame structure, private
garage in the rear, and tool shed. The premises have been prior to
zoning occupied for two-family use and accordingly has a nonconforming
use status. The Board also finds that the properties located in the
neighborhood on both sides of the highway are of a character similar
to the instant parcel and accordingly the appellants' circumstances
are similar to the circumstances existing generally in the neighborhood.
It is the opinion of the Board the appellants' plight should be
addressed to the Town Board with a view possibly of rezoning the
area abutting Route 25 to a business area. It is the opinion of
this Board that although applicants have indicated that ~e~cannot
obtain a fair return of the investment, that this situation generally
exists with all neighboring properties.
Accordingly, the appeal is denied.

It is hereby noted for the record that all the matters
scheduled and advertised previously for the March 5, 1981 Regular
Meeting were recessed until this evening, same times.
The Chairman opened the meeting at 7:30 o'clock p.m.
RECESSED HEARING: Appeal No. 2782. Application of John and
Mary Pietrodangelo, 52340 Main Road, Southold, NY (Rudolph H. Bruer,
Esq.) for a Variance to the Zoning Ordinance, Art. III, Sec. 100-30(A),
(C) for permission to operate a retail flower shop on first floor of
existing building in an A-Residential District. Location of Property:
52340 Main Road (S.R. 25), Southold, NY; bounded north by S.R. 25;
west by Charnews; south by Southold School District No. 5; east by
Terry; County Tax Map Item No. 1000-63-6-9.
The Chairman opened the hearing at 7:34 p.m. by reading the

and letter from the Town Clerk that notification to adjoining property
owners was made; fee paid $15.00.
Southold Town Board of Appeals -2-
March 12, 1981
MR. CHAIRMAN: We have a survey of the premises and we have
a section of the Tax Map showing this area and the surrounding area
in the neighborhood. Is there anyone here that would like to speak
for and add to anything that has been in the application?
RUDOLPH BRUER, ESQ.: Yes, Rudolph Bruer, on behalf of the
applicant. I would just like to add a couple of things to the--
MR. CHAIRMAN: Excuse me. Can you people hear him back there?
Use the mikes because we're trying to get everything on tape these
days, so. I hate to make you walk that far back--
MR. BRUER: Basically just a couple of words to add in addition
to the reasons as set forth in the application. The business that
we have we're basically asking is that we be able to move the florist
shop which is located directly next door to this building up the
street approximately 900 feet. The building there is owned by the
applicant at this time, and he would like to use the downstairs floor
as a floral shop for products not grown on the premises. The charac-
ter of the neighborhood is not going to change. There will not be
any display outside except possibly for a sign indicating that it is
a floral shop there, and the business that is connected with this
situation is a very quite business. The majority, I would say 80%
of the business is conducted by way of telephone orders and it's not
going to change the character of the neighborhood. We're really
just moving an existing situation 900 feet west and across the street.
I don't know if the Board has any questions of me. I would be happy
to answer anybody that is opposed to it.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Well,
add for this application?
1981:
is there anybody else that would like to
I have a letter here that's dated March 2,
...Gentlemen... The Trustees of the Southold Free Library,
owners of the property adjacent to the property of John
and Mary Pietrodangelo on Route 25 in Southold, wish to go
on record opposing the relief sought in the petition of
John and Mary Pietrodangelo, because the relief sought,
would in effect result in spot zoning and is an attempt
to change an A-residential district to B-business.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Betsy Widirstky, Secretary
Board of Trustees...
Is there anyone wishing to speak against this application?
ROBERT HARRINGTON: Yes, I would like to. I'm Robert Harrington.
I live directly across'the street--
'Southold Town Board~of Appeals -3- ~arch 12, 1981
MR. CHAIRMAN: Could you speak into the microphone, sir?
MR. HARRINGTON: Oh, certainly. I'm Robert Harrington. I live
directly across the street. I don't want to look across the street
at any kind of a sign or business. I moved into that neighborhood
because it wasn't business-- I wouldn't have moved into it if it was.
I have.to look directly across the street at this, and I want my
block to stay residential, and I was told when I first bought the
place that some day it may become business. And I thought I wasn't
interested because I wanted to live there, and I want to enjoy it
as a residential neighborhood. I also don't need any more traffic
in the area. I don't see where eight cars can park over there, but
even if they can and I realize a good deal of his business will be
on the phone, I just don't want any more. We have plenty with the
church, more than we can contend with now. I just want it to go on
record as saying that.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Thank you. Anyone else? I have a note from the
Planning Board to the Zoning Board of Appeals Chairman ....
... The Planning Board reviewed the application of John and
Mary Pietrodangelo at a regular meeting held February 11,
1981. Because the property is in a residential zone, the
Planning Board feels that until such time as a variance is
granted by your board and the square footage of the sales
area computed, it is impossible to determine if the parking
is adequate.
Yours truly,
Henry E. Raynor, Jr., Chairman
Southold Town Planning Board ....
MR. BRUER: May I say a couple of words?
MR. CHAIRMAN: Yes, sure.
MR. BRUER: In connection with the letter, I would like to peint
out to the Board that what we have there is not strictly a one-family
residential situation. We have a nonconforming use there allowing us
to have a multiple two-family dwelling, which it presently is used for.
We would be willing to have the Board stipulate that the use used in
connection with this in response to the argument that we try to change
the zoning here to a business use, true, we want to use the downstairs
as a flower shop but we would be willing to accept a restriction that
any use of this building be only on the downstairs be only as a flower
shop rather than any other type of building. Of course we would like
to state that if it was ever discontinued as a flower shop that it
could then go back to being a two-family dwelling. But we're only
looking for our own particular use as a flower shop. We're looking
at it from a point of view that the store that we have now is completely
inadequate. You have a situation here where you have the Town Hall, you
~outhold Town Boar~ Appeals
-4-
12, 1981
(Mr. Bruer continued:)
have various times of the month when court is in session here and it
is absolutely impossible to use a business and to be able to park
here, to be able to supply the shop, to be able to deliver orders.
You're talking about walking and carrying things 200 and something
feet. We're only talking about moving an existing situation in the
heart of the town, in the heart of the hamlet here 900 feet.
With respect to the gentleman that lives across the street, it
might be noted that he also runs a business legitimately so from, I
believe, his premises there. I believe he does sell stuff, I believe
that is grown on his premises. We're not changing the character of
the neighborhood. Not far down the street across the street is a
law office.. There's a doctor also practicing also out of his present
residence. All of them legitimate. But we're not really expanding
the nature of the use here with what we're trying to do. We own it.
It is a hardship. We have a multiple use at this particular point,
and we just would like to use it as a flower shop. It's not going
to change anything. The type of shop - it's an FTD shop. IL must
be kept neat. It is neat. I think all of you have gonefby the
place next door and I'm sure you've come very often, you know that
everything is kept in a very orderly fashion, and we're willing to
accept of course restrictions with respect to this use. Again the
parking is adequate. The business is primarily a mail-order or a
telephone order business. I have here receipts of the business
showing the mail orders if you would like to look at it, to show
basically how the business is conducted. The exceptions of course
are your Mother's Day, the funerals and stuff like that. But basically
it's a telephone business. Thank you.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Thank you, Mr. Bruer. Anyone else have any--
HENRY LYTLE: Henry Lytle speaking in behalf of the Southold-
Peconic Civic Association. Why we have not taken any formal action
on this particular application, we want it to go on record as being
our standard of procedure to oppose any spot-zoning or downzoning of
any property at all. Thank you.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Rudy or John, do you know about how many square
feet you're going to be using in there?
MR. PIETRODANGELO: About 800.
SECRETARY: That's for the sales area?
MR. CHAIRMAN: Yes, that's for the sales area.
MR. PIETRODANGELO: The front three rooms. The other two are
storage and the cellar.
MEMBER GOEHRINGER: Will there be any extension into the
garage area or anything?
MR. PIETRODANGELO: No, no. Nothing is going to get changed.
The only addition that would go onto the house would have to be
the sign which I am required to have by FTD, unless I identify it
as a floral shop then the FTD emblem must be on the'sign.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Joe, did you have anything? Mr. Douglass,
have you got anything?
MEMBER DOUGLASS: I would like to ask him some questions.
Have you worked up a financial statement on the situation as to
the value whether it can maintain itself in its present state and
how much the difference in value would mean between its present
state and what you desire to change it to?
MR. PIETRODANGELO: Are you saying will my house increase in
value?
MEMBER DOUGLASS: Well, you need to put together a/financial
value on all the stuff. The amount you paid for it, the amount--
MR. PIETRODANGELO: I can tell you this. The shop, my present
location, I cannot handle the volume of business that is coming in
over the phones right now. As such I am just about breaking even
and it's covering expenses. Obviously if I go into my own house I'm
my own landlord, and the $2,200 that it's costing me to heat this
house as a two-family residence of course will be off-set because
the business can support it. I cannot very well keep the two-family
house as a two-family house per say between taxes and my heating
bills. The house is operating at a loss. I'm at a point where I've
taken a house in Southold, I've restored it completely on the inside.
The outside is beginning to deteriorate and any additional work that
I do on it is not being supported by the house. It's coming out of
this pocket, and it just can't be handled.
MEMBER DOUGLASS: This you need in a balance statement showing
the original purchase, what the house is maintaining now, what it --
how it will change it financially to go into it with what you want
and what the valuation of the place would then be.
MR. BRUER: In other words you would like us to present to the
Board an annual statement.
MEMBER DOUGLASS: Here's what you got to prove.

MR. BRUER: May we have a copy of this, Mr. Douglass? I'm sure
we can provide the Board with it but I don't believe it's a necessary
requirement of this Board in its consideration.
MEMBER DOUGLASS: I imagine you can get one from our secretary.
SECRETARY: Yes.
MR. CHAIRMAN: If there are no further questions from anyone,
I'll offer a resolution closing the hearing.
MEMBER GOEHRINGER: Seconded.
On motion by Mr. Grigonis, seconded by Mr. Goehringer, it was
RESOLVED, that the hearing be declared closed, Appeal No. 2782.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Grigonis,'Douglass, Goeh-
ringer and Sawicki. Absent was: Mr. Doyen (illness).
PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal No. FA-5. Application of Goldsmith
Building and Construction Inc. (for George Sweeney), Southold, NY,
for a Variance to the Flood Damage Prevention Law, Sections 46-5 and

bounded north and west by Mason Drive; south by Broadwater Cove; east
by Wong and others; County Tax Map Item No. 1000-104-7-11.
The Chairman opened the hearing at 7:56 p.m. by reading the

and affidavits attesting to its publication in both the local and
official newspapers, Notice of Disapproval from the Building
Inspector, and letter from the Town Clerk that notification to
adjoining property owners was made; fee paid $15.00.
MR. CHAIRMAN: We have a Van Tuyl survey and a section of the
County Tax Map showing this property and the surrounding properties.
Is there anyone here that wishes to add anything to the application?
MR. ALFRED H. GOLDSMITH: I can't add much to what is already
written down there. I became aware today and received this letter
that you have some question about the survey part of that.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Right. Maybe I should read this so the people
would know. This is the letter we sent to Mr. Alfred Goldsmith,
President of Goldsmith Building and Construction Incorporated,

REASON FOR APPEAL
A Variance to Section 280A Subsection 3
A Variance to the Zoning Ordinance
is requested forthe reasonthat appellant will be unable to have a flower shop
on the first floor of premises owned by them on the sOuth side of Main
Road, Southold, N.Y., with an apartment upstairs.
Form zB! (Continue on other side)
REASON FOR APPEAL Continued
1. STRICT APPLICATION OF THE ORDINANCE would produce practical difficulties or unneces-
,,
sory HARDSHI~ because there is no other location available for appellant
to move their florist shop on Main Road, Southold, N.Y. The parking
facilities at his presentestablishment are inadequate, whereas at
the proposed new location there will be eight (8) parking spaces,
which is more than adequate, as 80% of their business is conducted
over the telephone. . .
2. The hardshipcreatedis UNIQUEondisnotshared by all properties alike in the immediate
vicinity ofthis property and in this use districtbecause appellant's business requires
the full use.of.first floor 9f these premises for a proper floral shop,
whereas other properties (to wit: premises directly across the street)
are conducting businesses which are seasonal in nature, selling products
primarily grown on the premises unlike appellant.
3. The Variance would observe the spirit of the Ordinance and WOULD NOT CHANGE THE
CHARACTER OF THE DISTRICT because appellant would be moving their business
from the north side of the street to the south side of the street
approximately 30 yards west of the existing store, which would help
ease traffic conjestion. Further, with the premises occupied as a
residence upstairs, the building would continue to keep its residential
use.
