from the Building Inspector, for permission to construct new
single-family dwelling and deck at a reduced setback from the front
property line along Private Road off East End Road, Fishers Island,
NY; County Tax Map Parcel ID No. 1000-7-2-8. The SUbject premises
contains a total lot area of approximately 3.16 acres with frontage
along two private roads, one located at the north end and the other
at the south end of this parcel. The Zone District is R-120
Residential which requires a minimum front yard setback of 60 feet.
WHEREAS, after due notice, a public hearing was held on
August 11, 1994 and a continuation of hearing, again after due
notice, held October 5, 1994, at which hearings aH 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;
WHEREAS, the Board members have personally viewed and are
familiar with the premises in question, its present zoning, ~nd the
surrounding areas; and
WHEREAS, the Board made the following Findings of Fact:
1. By this application, applicant is proposing to locate a new
single-family dwelllng at premises, now vacant, identified as County
Tax Map District 1000, Section 7, Block 2, Lot 8, located along the
southeast side Of private road (approximately 200 feet from West
Harbor at Fishers Island, Town of Southold, New York. The
applicant is the owner of the property as shown by conveyance from
FIDCO made on October 7, 1984 at Liber 9805 cp 273.
2. The basis of this appeal is Article III, Section 100-32
(Bulk Schedule pertaining to setbacks of a principal building)
referred to in the July 12, 1994 Notice of Disapproval issued by the
Page 3- Appl. No. 4255
Matter of ROBERT SEARLE
Decision Rendered October 5, 1994
Building Inspector for this property located in the R-120 Residential
Zone District.
3. The subject promises consists of a total lot area of 3.16
acres (as described including wetland areas) and with a stroet
frontage along Private Road to the north 146.28 feet, and along
Private Road to the east (southeast) of 587.38 feet. This property
is presently vacant and has variable elevations rang/ng m an
east-west direction from 34 feet above mean sea level at the road to
zero elevation at the wetlands area. The wetlands area appears to
be fed from Barlow Pond, which is along the southerly Private Road.
4. The applicants have submitted a site plan map last dated
December 21, 1993 prepared by Chandier, Palmer & King for the
applicant. The new dwelling to be constructed is shown proposed
with the following setbacks:
(a)
Setback at 41 feet from the easterly front property
line (the minimum requiroment is under the Bulk Schedule
in the R120 Zone requires 60 feet);
(b) Setback at not less than 45 feet from the westerly
edge of wetlands flagged by the NYS DEC 11/25/88;
(c) Setbacks at both side yards exceed the code requirements.
5. The conforming size of thig property at 3.14 acres
provides the basis of setback roquirements of the Code under the
R-120 column of the Bulk Schedule. The 41 ft. setback for which
this variance is requested is that along the south-southeast front
property line. The setbacks from wetlands is rogulated by the Town
Trustees under the Wetlands Ordinance, and the N.Y.S. Department
of Environmental Conservation. Additionally, the new dwe]llng
location is sensibly centered within the upland area, which is very
limited due to elevations, the required maintenance of the erosion
control line at about the 24 ft. elevation, large oak trees, and
wetlands.
6. In considering this application, the Board also finds and
determines:
a) the benefit to the applicant, as weighed agninst the
detriment to the health, safety, and welfaro of the community, is
greater, and the benefit afforded is not unreasonable in light of
the unique characteristics and land contours;
b) the benefit sought by the applicants cannot be
reasonably achieved by another method without substantial rograding;
Page 4 - Minutes
Decision for ROBERT SEARLE
Regular Meeting of October 5, 1994
e) the relief requested for a front yard reduction from 60
feet to 41 feet is not unreasonable and will not have an adverse
effect or impact on the physical or environmental conditions in the
neighborhood or the surrounding district, provided all the conditions
are met pertaining to the Town Trustees wetlands permit and N.¥.S.
Department of Environmental Conservation permit;
d) the difficulties created are related to the uniqueness
of the l~nd, its location, its topography, shape and characteristics,
and are not personal to the landowner;
e) the relief as granted will not be adverse to the
preservation and protection of the character of the neighborhood and
the health, safety, and welfare of the community, and will not alter
the essential character of the district;
f) the setback at 41 feet from the proposed southeast front
property line is substantial in relation to the 60 ft. requirement,
for the reason that it meets only 69 percent of the setback
requirement;
g) in view of all the above, the interests of justice will
be served by granting the relief, subject to compliance with all
other agency conditions and permits.
Accordingly, on motion by Member Doyen, seconded by Chairman
Geehringer, it was
RESOLVED, to GRANT the relief requested for a reduction from
60 feet to not less than 41 feet in the front yard setback.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Doyen, Dinizio, Villa,
Wilton, and Goehringer. This resolution was duly-adopted.

located in an area other than a permitted yard must be determined by
the Board of Appeals.)
WHEREAS, after due notice, a public hearing was held on
October 5, 1994, and at said hearing all persons who desired to be
heard were heard and their testimony recorded; and
WHEREAS, the Board has carefully considered ~ll testimony and
documentation submitted concerning this application; and
WHEREAS, Board Members h~ve 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 appeal of a Notice of Disapproval issued by the
Building Inspector in which the applicant has applied for a building
permit for a detached accessory storage building, as built, and
located in the northerly front yard area.
2. The premises in question is located in the R-40 Low-Density

yard areas where accessory buildings are normally required to be is
Page 7 - Minutes
Decision for FREDERICK RAYMES
Regular Meeting - October 5, 1994
very limited and unpractical due to the nature of the low elevations
and land subject to flooding, and the closeness of the right-of-way.
4. Proposed by this application is the approval of an 8 ft.: by
10 ft. accessory storage shed situated five feet from the northerly
property line. The use of the building will be strictly for storage
purposes incidental and accessory to the applieants-ownere
residence.
5. The limitations under this appeal are that the building may
not be e~larged by more than 50%, or in the future converted for

etc.), and may never be used as a separate use.
6. The proposed building will be in conformance with the height
requirements [less than one-Story and at a total height of less than
ten feet).
7. It is the position of the Board in considering this
application that:
(a) the circumstances are oniquely related' to the property
and there is no method feasible for appeliant to pursue other tb~n a
variance - particuiariy since the property does technieally has
limited yard areas where the shed wouid normally be located;
(b) the relief is not substantial in relation to the
requirements and will be at a distance more landward of the bulkhead
than the existing dwelling, while also being more distant from the
front road line and five feet from the northerly property line at its
closest point;
(c) the variance requested does not involve an increase of
dwelling unit or use density;
(d) the relief requested will not cause a substantial
effect on available governmental facilities since the structure is for
storage purposes incidental to the existing residence;
(e) the relief requested is not unreasonable due to the
uniqueness of the property and the character of the surrounding
waterfront community;
(f) the variance will not in turn be adverse to the safety,
health, welfare, comfort, convenience, or order of the town, or be
adverse to neighboring properties;
Accordingly, on motion by Chairman Goehringer, seconded by
Members Wilton and Dinizio, it was

26,354 sq. ft. in an R-40 Low-Density Residential Zone Districts.
Also nonconforming is the fact that there are two dwellings,
constructed prior to zoning in 1957 since the zoning code requires
40,000 sq. ft. of land area per dwelling unit.
3. The dwelling which is the subject of this variance is the
northerly building which contains a total first floor area of 1,027
sq. ft., second floor area of 360 sq. ft., for a total existing floor

Application of JEAN and LOUIS WALTERS, JR. Variance based
upon the September 13, 1994 Notice of Disapproval from the Buildlng
Inspector wherein applicants applied for a building permit for ~n
accessory deck, as exists around swimmingpool structure, with an
insufficient southerly side yard setback. Location of Property:
1450 Boisseau Avenue, Southold, NY; County Tax Map Parcel No.
1000-55-6-22.
WHEREAS, after due notice, a public hearing was held on
October 5, 1994, and at said hearing all those who desired to be
heard were heard and their teslimony recorded; and
WHEREAS, the Board has carefully considered all testimony and
documentation submitted concerning this application; and
WHEREAS, Board Members have personally vieWed and are
familiar with the premises in question, its present zoning, and the
surrounding areas; and
WHEREAS, the Beard made the following findings of fact:
1. This is an appeal of the September 13, 1994 Notice of
Disapproval issuance by the Building Inspector in which tile appellant
has requested an application for a building permit for the
construction, as exists, of the inground pool with deck which is
located partly in the side yard area and partly in the rear yard.
The pool is not the subject of a variance, and the groUnds for the
disapproval issued by the Building Inspector ~ead as follows:
...Side yard setback of 5' required for the
accessory deck attached to the pool. Article
III, 100-33 B (2). Action required by the
Zoning Board of Appeals ....
2. The premises in question is located in the R-40 Low-Density
Residential Zone District and is a described parcel containing a
total area of approximately 24,000 square feet with 132.0 ft.
frontage along the easterly side of Boisseau Avenue. The map
Page 15- Appeal No. 4271
Decision of Louis and Jean Walters
Regular Meeting of October 5, 1994
submitted with this application shows this parcel is presently
improved by an one-story, single-family dwelling bttilt prior to
1965. The setbacks of the dwelling re shown to be 32 ft. front the
northerly (front) property line along a nprivate road," 52 feet from
the front property line along Boisseau Avenue, 17 feet from the
southerly (side) property line, and 93+- feet from the easterly
(rear) property line. The subject accessory deck was constructed
without Town authorization by the contractor under the prior building
permit for the swimmingpool in about 1973-1974.
3. The subject accessory deck, attached to the existing
swimminoerpool, is shown with a little, or no setback from the
southerly property line. However, the property to the south is a
drainage sump owned and operated by the Town of Southold, which
has given verbal permission (via Ray Jacobs, Superintendent of
Highways) for the continued maintenance of the deck at the setback
constructed. The pool and deck is located in the rear yard (rather
than the side yard as noted by the Building Inspector). The rear
yard on a corner lot is establi.~hed to be that yard area where there
are existing accessory buildings and where the principal setback of
the house meets the (rear yard) requirement. The rear yard is that
area to the east .of the dwelling where an accessory shed is located,
as w~ll as the subject pool. The side yard is shown to be that area
between the south of the dwelling and the southerly property line.
4. It is the position of the Board in considering thi.~
application that:
(a) the circumstances are uniquely related to the
property;
(b) the difficulties, although self-created, is not
unreasonable in light iof the nature and use of the adjoining lands;
(c) the deck has existed for many years, and is not
adverse to the best interests of the Town at large;
(d) the variance requested does not involve any increase
of dwelling unit density;
(e) the relief requested will not cause a substantial
effect on available governmental facilities since this the deck,
close to ground level as constructed, is a minor project and is the
minimum necessary to afford relief to the Property owners;
(f) the var/ance will not in turn be adverse to the
safety, health, welfare, comfort, convenience, or order of the town,
or be adverse to neighboring properties, and the relief granted will
Page 16 - Appeal No. 4271

ACTION OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS
Appl. No. 4263: MARY ANN LAHMANN. Variance to the Zoning
Ordinance, Article XXIV, Section 100-244B for a review of a
single-and-separate search and determination that the Town will
recognize this substandard lot as a distinctly separate parcel for
the purposes of zoning. This is not a subdivision project and will
be only a determination pertaining to a non-merged or merged
status. Location of Property: 775 Knollwood [~ne, Mattituck, NY;
County Tax Map Parcel No. 1000-107-6-6.
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on September 7, 1994, and
all those who desired to be heard were heard and their testimony
recorded, and several persons living in the area voiced opposition
(please see transcript prepared under separate cover for reference);
and
WItEREAS, the Board has carefully considered aH testimony and
documentation submitted concerning this application; and
WHEREAS, Beard 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. By thi.~ ap]?lication, appellant seeks a determination for
approval or recognition of the subject lot. The survey submitted
under this application was prepared by Anthony W. Lewandowski,
L.S. last dated June 18, 1994. This subject lot (referred to as
"6") has a total Substandard lot area of 12,427 sq. ft. and road
frontage of 124,27 feet along the southerly side of KnoHwood Lane,
Mattituck. The preper~y is bounded on the north by K_uollwood
Lane, on the west by a private right-of-way identified as
1000-107-6-21, on the south by a substandard lot identified as
1000-107-6-5 contsining approximately 3/4 of an acre in size
preexisting the zoning regulations, and on the east by lot identi-
fied as 1000-107-6-7 also cont~inlng an area of approximately 3/4
of an acre. The subject parcel (6) is vacnnt land; the westerly
adjoining parcel (21) is a right-of-way consisting of a described
area of 20 ft. by 100 ft.; the southerly lot (5) is improved with a
single-family dwelling which preexists the zoning ordinances; the
.easterly lot (7) is also improved with a preexisting single-family

dwelling. All of these lands are situated in the R-40 Low-Density
Zone District adopted January 9, 1989. Immediately to the west along
lot "5" and near the subject parcel ("6") is another separate parcel
consisting of approximately 3/4 of an acre referred to as lot "4",
also owned by Mary Ann I~hmann, which is improved with a dwelling
constructed in or about 1966. The described parcel "21", or right-
of-way, separates the subject lot ("6") from the most westerly lot
("4").
2. The Article and Section of the Zoning Code, added in the
amendments of January 9, 1989, under which this application is being
made read as foilows:
Article XXIV, Section 100-244B:
"A nonconfo£ming lot separately owned
and ... not adjoining any lot or land
in the same ownership at any time
subsequent to (the effective date of
this Article) may be used, or a
building or structure may be erected on
such lot for use, in accordance with
all the other applicable provisions of
this chapter, provided that proof of
such separate ownership in the fo~m of
an abstract of title showing the
changes of title to said lot ... and
shall contain a certification that no
contiguous property was owned by an
owner of the property involved since
the date of the previously applicable
Zoning Law... "
3. proof has been f~ruished by the owner in the forTM of~ a
single-and-Separate search prepared by Commonwealth Land Title
Insurance Company dated April 21, 1994, which shows that the
owner, Mary Ann Lahmann, acquired the subject parcel ("6") from
her husband, Walter A. Lahmann, Jr. with its present lot size, as
described in deed recorded November 7, 1990. In' 1976 Waiter A.
Lshmann, Jr. acquired that property from Rosalie Lahmann, who
acquired the property in July of 1962. The record shows that the
subject lot (6) was acquired by separate ownership prior to 1957
when owned by jointly by Robert H. Preston, Robert ~Iuir, and A.
Kenneth MonsilI, and that each of the surrounding parcels were in
different names continuously since 1957, although each had, and
appear to still have, an easement across parcel 21 referred herein as
"right-of-way." Prior to 1957, zoning was not existent.

Regula~ Meeting of October 5, 1994
Southold Town Board of Appeals
4. For the record, the Lewandowski survey does indicate a
proposed building envelope for a future principal dwelling structure
to conform to the minimum zoning setbacks requirements under Article
XXIV, Section 100-244B of the Zoning Code <and/or compliance with
future requirements (if amended) in effect at the time of the
building permit application>.
5. The substandard lot size is found to hnve been created prior
to zoning in 1957, and the current zoning may not prevent a
continuing preordinnnce right. There is indication in the record
that the property was kept in diverse owners, in order to preserve
valid nonconforming plots. Nor is there any evidence that the
properties were ever used in conjunction with each other or that one
lot materially enhanced the value of another except to utilize the
rights of access of parcel "21" (right-of-way).
6. Based upon all of the above, it is the determination of this
Board that the lot referred to as 1000-107-6-6 is recognized as a
single-and-separate lot from 1957 to the present date, as certified
by the title insurance search prepared by Commonwealth Land Title
Insurnnce COmpany.
7. It should be known that the Board is making this
determination relying solely upon the accuracy of the
single-and-separate search submitted under this application and the
referenced deeds. In the event of inaccuracy or error found in the
search which may show common ownership with another parcel from
1957 to the present time, a new application and hearing will be
required, at any time in the future, to con~qider the new evidence.
Accordingly, on motion by Member Villa, seconded by
Chairman Goehringer, it was
RESOLVED, that the Application for MARY ANN LAHMANN under
Appl. No. 4263, be and hereby is granted, provided the rules and
regulations pertaining to new construction upon substandard lots of
thl.g size at the time of issuance of the building permit be followed
pursuant to law.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Doyen, Goehringer, Dinizio,
Villa and Wilton. This resolution was duly adopted.

FINDINGS AND DETERMINATION
Appl. No. 4268: EDWARD AND EVELYN HALPERT. Variance from
Article IIIA, Section 100-30A.2C(1) {ref. Section 100-31C(4-b) 'and
100-33C}, based upon the Notice of Disapproval (as updated August
10, 1994) for permission to locate tennis court structure with 10 ft.
high fencing with in.guffieient setbacks when located in the front
yard, and with Fencing exceeding the four-ft, height restriction
under Article XXIII, Section 100-231A. Location of Property: 2125
Town Harbor Lane, Southold, NY; County Tax Map Parcel No.
1000-66-1-31.
WHEREAS, after due notice, a public hearing was held on Octo-
ber 5, 1994, at which time persons who desired to be heard were
heard and their testimony recorded (no opposition was received); and
WHEREAS, the Beard has carefully considered all testimony and
documentation submitted concerning this application; and
WHEREAS, Board Members have personally viewed and are
fsmillar with the premises in question, its present zoning, and the
surrounding areas; and
WHEREAS, the Beard made the following Findings of Fact:
1. By this application, appellant requests approval of the
placement of a fence located within and along the front yard areas at
a total height of ten (!0) feet, to encompass a proposed 60 ft. by
120 ft. tennis court, which will be located partly in the side yard
and partly in the front yard, and then extending into part of the
rear yard.
2. A copy of a survey map dated January 27, 1992 has been
submitted with this application which shows the following improve-
ments: (a) one-story, single-family dwelling with screened-in
porch, all situated at the northerly one-half of the premi.ges; (b)
accessory garage building located in the rear yard; (c) accessory
beach cabana building; (d) brick barbecue, steps to the beach and
bulkhead along the southerly side property line forWard of the mean
high water mark.
Page 22- Appeal No. 4268
Matter of EDWARD AND EVELYN HALPERT
Decision Rendered October 5, 1994
3. Article XXIII, Section 100-231 of the Zoning Code permits
fencing for purposes of screening or property division to be situated
in a front yard area at a height of four feet or lesS. (Fences along
the side and rear yard areas are permitted at a height up to 6-1/2
feet.) Also, it is noted for the record that Section 100-33C of the
Southold Town Zoning Code, applicable to all residential zone
districts, provides "...in the ease of a waterfront parcel, accessory
buildings and structures may be located in the front yard, provided
that such buildings and structures meet the front-yard setback
requirements as set forth by this Code..."
4. It is the position of the Board in considering this
application that:
(a) the property is uniquely situated at the southerly end
of Town Harbor Lane and fronts along Little Pecouic Bay at Southold;
(b) the circumstances are directly related to the layout of
the property and are not personal to the landowners;
(e) although the relief requested is substantial in
relation to the required setback loeation.~, the tennis court will
have 'variable setbacks between 25 feet and 14 feet, as amended by
this decision and will be fully screened from view when looking from
Town Harbor Lane;
(d) there will not be an undesirable change in the
character of the neighborhood or detriment to nearby properties since
the yard area as situated is normally a permitted yard location for
other lots fronting along Peconic Bay due to the fact that they
g~in access from the north, rather than from the west as does the
subject property;
(e) the relief requested will not cause a substantial
effect on available governmental facilities since the structure is a
fence as a necessity- to the tennis court rather than a large enclosed
building;
(f) the difficulty was not serf-created;
(g) there is no aiternative for appellants to pursue other
than a variance, even in other yard locations;
(h) in considering all the above factors, the variance will
nol in turn be adverse to the safety, health, welfare, comfort,
convenience, or order of the town, be adverse to neighboring
properties, or alter the essential character of the neighborhood
since other (natural) screening at heights above~four feet near the
Page ~23- Appeal No. 4268
Matter of EDWARD AND EVELYN HALPERT
Decision Rendered October 5, 1994
tennis court angle which faces the road will be maintained at
times during the time the tenni.~ court exists.
ACCORDINGLY, on motion by Member Wilton, seconded by
Member Doyen, it was
RESOLVED, to DENY the relief requested for a setback of 12
feet from the front property line, and BE IT FURTHER
RESOLVED, to GRANT a variance to locate tennis court with
10 ft. high fencing partly in a front yard and side yard area,
SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
1. Setback of tennis court shall be not less than 14 feet at
its closest point to the front property llne and not less t]qan 12
feet from the northerly side property line;
2. Screening must be planted ~nd continuously m~intalned in
good condition with 4-5 ft. high evergreens, six to eight feet apart,
for the entire width of the tennis court along the road side;
3. No lighting for the tennis court, as proposed, and pursuant
to Section 100-31C(4-b) of the Zoning Code.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Doyen, Dinizio, Wilton, Villa
and Goehringer. This resolution was duly adopted.

ACTION OF THE BOARD
Appeal No. 4273:
RUSS L'HOMMEDIEU (as tenant and resident). Variance based
upon the August 25, 1994 Notice of Disapproval from the Building
Inspector wherein applicant applied for a building permit to alter an
existing one-family dwelling with ~n expanded home occupation carried
on in an area exceeding 500 sq. ft. of floor area. The subject
premises contains a lot area of 30,625+- sq. ft. and is improved with
a single family dwelling, occupied by the applicant's home office.
Location of Property: 1450 Boisseau Avenue, Southold, NY; County
Tax Map Parcel No. 1000-75-2-3.1.
WHEREAS, after due notice, a public hearing was held on
October 5, 1994, and at said hearing aH persons who desired to be
heard were heard and their testimony recorded; and
WHEREAS, the Board has carefully considered all testimony and
documentation submitted concerning thi.g application; and
WHEREAS, Board Members have personally viewed and are
fnmilinr with the premises in question, its present zoning, and the
surrounding areas; and
WHEREAS, the Board made the following findings of fact:
l. This is an appeal of a Notice of Disapproval issued by the
Building Inspector in which the applicant has applied for a building
permit for an expansion of an existing home occupation office as a
physical therapist in the applicant-tenant's single-family
residence.
2. The premises in question is located in the A-C
Agricuitural-Conservation Zone District and is a substandard lot
containing a substandard total area of 30,600+- sq. ft. with 177 ft.
frontage along the northerly side of State Route 25 (or the Main
Read), at Southold.
3. The property survey map last dated October 2, 1990 was
prepared by Roderick VanTuyl, P.C. and shows a single-f~mily
two-story frame house, accessory swimmlngpoo], accessory shed, and
large accessory garage building.
Page 25- Appeal No. 4273
Application of RUSS L'HOMMEDIEU
Decision Rendered October 5, 1994
4. Proposed by this application is an expansion of the existing
500 sq. ft. physical therapist home occupation, for ~n additional 400
sq. ft. as an exercise area for patients and an additionai 100 sq.
ft. for administrative tasks related to the office and waiting room.
5. The limitations of the Zoning Code for a home occupation are
as follows under Section 100~31C.2:
·..C. 2. HOME OCCUPATION, INCLUDING HOME
PROFESSIONAL OFFICE AND HOME BUSINESS
OFFICE.
In permitting these uses, the Town Board recognizes
that the residents historically have operated small
businesses which provide services to the community
from their homes· The Board finds that these
businesses have not impacted negatively on the
appearance of these residential zones. In the
BOard's judgment, it finds that in order to maintain
the economic viability of the town, to maintain the
rural quality of life and in the interests of the
we]fare of the residents, these businesses (or home
occupations) should be permitted to continue. In
setting forth the following subsections, the Board
intends to permit as of right certain business uses
in residential zones with the understanding that
these uses are to be conducted in a raqnner that will
not alter the character of the residential
neighborhoods. The Board believes that the
following subsections provide sufficient safeguards
to accomplish that aim. These uses shail be
permitted, provided that:
(a) No display of products shall be visible from
the street, and no stock-in-trade shali be kept on
the premises.
(b) Such occupational is incidental to the
residential use of the premises and is .carried on in
the main building by the residents therein with not
more than one (1) nonresident assistant 'for whom
off-street parking must be provided on site.
(c) Such occupation is carried on in an area not to
exceed twentyrfive percent (25%) of the area of all
floors of the main building, and in no event shall
such use occupy more that five hundred (500)
square feet of floor area.
Page 26-Appeal No. 4273
Application of RUSS L'HOMMEDIEU
Decision Rendered October 5, 1994
(d) There shall be no exterior effect at the
property line, such as noise, traffic, odor, dust,
smoke, gas, fumes or radiation.
(e) Studios where dancing or music instruction is
offered to groups in excess of five (5) pupils at
one (1) time or where concerts or recitals are held
are prohibited.
(f) In no mnnner shall the appearance of the
building be altered, nor shall the occupation be
conducted in a manner that would cause the premises
to lose its residential character, including but not
limited to the use of colors, materials,
construction or lighting.
(g) Notwithstanding anything set forth elsewhere in
this Article, home occupations, home business
offices and home professionnl offices shah in no
event be deemed to include animal hospitals,
kennels, barbershops, beauty parlors, clinics or
hospitals, mortuaries, nursery schools, clubs, auto
repair shops, restaurants, tourist homes, rooming
houses or boarding-houses and uses similar to those
listed above.
(h) For signs, see Section 100-31C(9)(a).
(i) Home occupations, home business office and
home professional offices shall not. include
manufacturing, fabrication or construction of any
type on the site.
, and may never be used as a separate use.
6. The proposed expansion must be in full coni~ormance with the
zoning code an the resident's home occupation and Office, and may
not be operated by a non-resident, corporation, entity or other type
of operation except by new application for re-consideration and new
hearing, after notice in acCOrdance with New York Town Law.
7. It is the position of the Board in considering this
application that:
(a) the circumstances are uniquely related to the type of
home occupation which requires additional area for patient use, and
there is no method feasible for appellant to pursue other than a
variance;
Page 27- Appeal No. 4273
Application of RUSS L'HOMMEDI~
Decision Rendered October 5, 1994
(b) the relief is substantial in relation to the
requirements being a variance of 100% of the requirements of the new
Zoning Regulations enacted in 1989;
(c) the variance requested does not involve an increase of
dwelling unit or use density;
(d) the relief requested will not cause a substantial
effect on availnble governmental facilities since the relief
requested is floor area in the interior of the existing single-family
dwelling operated by the resident thereof, and is not a separate
princpal use;
(e) the relief requested is not unreasonable due to the
uniqueness of the property and the character of the surrounding
neighborhood which is located directly on a m~in highway (New York
State Route 25);
(f) the variance will not in turn be adverse to the
safety, health, welfare, comfort, convenience, or order of the town,
or be adverse to neighboring properties, due to the proximity of the
property on a nmjor read and due to the limitation of use established
by the Town Board in permitting a home occupation in the residential
zones,
Accordingly, on motion by Chairman Goehringer, seconded by
Members Wilton, it was
RESOLVED, to GRANT the relief requested for a floor area
related to the home occupation of 850 sq. ft. (which shsll include
the reception and waiting area, office, treatment room and gym),
SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
1. The home occupation shall be Permitted only as an accessory
to the residency by the applicant herein;
2. The area depicted as a bathroom and closet and stairs will
also be permitted, but will be treated separately from the home
occupation area since they are areas that may be related to the
residence as well).
3. The applicant's home occupation may continue only while the
applicant is a resident of the subject premises and is preperly
licensed as a physical therapist;
4. Upon expiration of the term of the lease between the
applicant-tenant and the owner, this variance will automatically
become null and void;
Page 28- Appeal No. 4273
Application of RUSS L'HOMMEDIEU
Decision Rendered October 5, 1994
5. Upon the termination of the applicant-tenant's permanent
residency in the existing dwelling, this variance will automatically
become null and void;
6. This home-occupation use shall not be a principal use and
must remain accessory use operated only by the resident of the
premises and for the benefit of the applicant's patients;
7. A copy of the renewed lease shall be furnished by the
applicant on or before March 10, 1999 to the Office of the Board of
Appeals to show a continued direct interest in the application~ on
file by the tenant-applicant.
8. The Special Exception use which was to be permitted under
Appl. No. 3499 (D. Jerome) as an Accessory Apartment with Owner
Occupancy and which has not been effectuated, is hereby deciared
null and void - which was also agreed by the applicant and the
owner, Daniel Jerome, during the Board's October 5, 1994 Regular
Meeting. (The owner of the premises, Daniel Jerome, is no longer a
resident at this property and is living at another address in
Southold. The Special Exception was for owner occupancy only and
therefore no longer qualifies for thin accessory apartment permit. )
9. The "gym" or exercise area shall be utilized only by the
therapist-applicant and his patients, and shah not be a separate
membership, club or other establishment.
10. The remaining buildings shall remain accessory to the
principal building and shall not be occupied as a separate use or
occupancy other than for storage purposes related to the msia
residence.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Doyen, Wilton and
Goehringer. (Nays: Members Dinizio and Villa, who felt the
variance was too substantial and would set a precedent for the whole
neighborhood. ) This resolution was duly adopted (3-2).
