METRO ONE requesting Special Exception approval under Article
VIII, Section 100-81B(1) and Article III, Section 100-31B(6) for
an unmanned telecommunications building in an existing concrete
block building and construction of a 104 ft. high monopole radio
tower with antenna for transmitting and receiving radio signals
to provide cellular telephone services. Location of Property:
415 Elijah's Lane, Mattituck, Ny; also shown on Planning Board
Map of May 15, 1990, Map No. 8937. County Tax Map No.
1000-108-4-11.3 (part of 11.)
WHEREAS, after due notice, public hearings were held on
April 30, 1991 and June 7, 1991 and at said hearings, 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, Board members have personally viewed and are
familiar with the premises in question and the surrounding
areas; and
WHERES, the Board made the following findings of fact:
1. The premises in question is located along the westerly
side of Elijah's Lane in the Hamlet of Mattituck, Town of
Southold, is more particularly identified on the Suffolk County
Tax Maps as District 1000, Section 108, Block 4, Lot 11.3 (part
of 11), for which lot lines have been the subject of approval by
the Town Planning Board on or about April 9, 1990.
2. For the record it is also noted that the subject parcel
contains a total lot area of 80,495.5 square feet, is located in
the Limited Business (LB) Zone District, and is surrounded on
three sides by residential communities. To the south is a plot
of land also owned by William J. Baxter and others improved with
a large one-story building and, although unoccupied, is also
located in the Limited Business Zone District.

Matter of CELLULAR TELEPHONE COMPANY
Decision Rendered July 25, 1991
3. By this application, it is requested by Cellular
Telephone Company d/b/a Metro One, with the consent of the
landowners, William J. Baxter and others, that a Special
Exception be granted for: (1) ~ a proposed unmanned
telecommunications building in an existing concrete block
building, and (2) construction of a 104 ft. high monopole radio
tower with antenna for transmitting and receiving radio signals
to provide cellular telephone services. The section of the Code
under which this application has been made is Article III,
Section 100-30B(6) of the Agricultural-Conservation and
Low-Density Residential Zone District provisions of the Code
which reads as follows:
100-31B. Uses permitted by special exception by the
Board of Appeals. The following uses are permitted as
a special exception by the Board of Appeals, as herein-
after provided, and ... are subject to site plan
approval by the Planning Board:
...(6) Public utility rights-of-way as well as
structures and other installations necessary to serve
areas within the town, subject to such conditions as
the Board of Appeals may impose in order to protect
and promote the health, safety, appearance and general
welfare of the community and the character of the
neighborhood in which the proposed structure is to be
constructed...
4. The proposed unmanned telecommunications building is
shown on the site plan maps prepared by Juengert Grutzmacher
Associates, P.A. dated February 6, 1991. Also, the tower
structure for telecommunications transmissions is shown to be
proposed at approximately 103 feet from the northerly side
property line, 238+- feet from the westerly rear property line,
62+- feet from the southerly side property line, and 233+- feet
from the easterly front property line. The height of the tower,
inclusive of antenna mast, is proposed at 104 feet from ground
level. The nearest building (telecommunications building) is
located approximately nine feet to the east from the proposed
tower, and 69 feet to the existing barn structure from the
tower. Buildings therefore are within the direct fall-down area
of the proposed tower. Also, distances have not been provided
on the radius map to show building envelopes for future
principal structures and accessory structures on the five
residentially zoned lands adjacent to this parcel to the north
and west. It does appear, however, that future homes on these
lots could be located outside of the fall-down range, i.e. 104
feet from the proposed tower location.

Matter of CELLULAR TELEPHONE COMPANY
Decision Rendered July 25, 1991
5. The land uses of the Low-Density Residential Zone
District, under which this application is made, is intended to
provide open rural environmental areas so highly valued by
residents and to reasonably regulate the subdivision and
development of the lands while honoring the legitimate interests
of farmers and farmland owners (Article III, Section 100-30
Purpose). The uses permitted under these provisions are limited
to principal residential uses, agricultural uses, and accessory
uses incidental thereto.
6. The land use provisions of the Limited Business (LB)
Zone District are intended to provide limited business
activities that are consistent with the rural and historic
character of surrounding areas and uses and that have been
designed to protect the residential and rural character of the
area. Permitted uses in the LB Zone are limited to antique, art
and craft shops and galleries; custom workshops and machine
shops; wholesale or retail and display of garden materials and
plants, including nursery operations; library; museum;
professional office; business office; funeral home; restaurant;
barbershop, professional studios, travel agency and other
personal service stores and shops; plumbing shop, carpentry
shop, motorcycle shops, landscaping and other service
businesses; wholesale and warehousing. Other uses permitted by
Special Exception would include those uses as may be permitted
in the Low-Density Residential and Agricultural-Conservation
Zone Districts and provided under Article III (ref. paragraph #5
above).
7. The uses proposed under this Special Exception request
are for commercial telecommunications and radio transmission
services by Metro One through Cellular Telephone Company, a
company who has received approvals from the Public Service
Commission to operate a cellular radio system (see Order issued
April 18, 1985 for a "Certificate of Public Convenience and
Necessity to Construct and Operate a Cellular Radio
Telecommunication Service in the New York Standard Metropolitan
Statistical Area").
8. On January 10, 1989, a new Zoning Code and Master Plan
were adopted by the Town of $outhold, and many zoning provisions
and requirements were modified or created which are quite
different from the previous zoning codes. In applying the
provisions of the new master plan and zoning code, one o~ the
first considerations by this Board in a Special Exception
request is to determine whether the uses requested fall within
the meaning of the Zoning Code as applied.
9. Article XIII, Section 100-130 of the Light Industrial
(LI) and Light-Industrial-Office (LIO) Zoning Provisions
Page 5 - Appl. No. 4022-SE
Matter of CELLULAR TELEPHONE COMPANY
Decision Rendered July 25, 1991
authorize this type of use by Special Exception. The purpose of
the LIO and LI Zone Districts is to provide for commercial
activities which are not appropriate for those uses permitted in
residential, agricultural, and Ilimited business use zone
districts. It is apparent that the use proposed herein will be
a principal use involving commercial telecommunications
activities. The purpose and intent of Section 100-30B(6) is to
permit only those uses which are not of a business or commercial
nature and which are clearly consistent with the rural,
residential or agricultural character of the immediate area. A
telecommunications use is not a residential or agricultural use.
10. It is, therefore, determined that the meaning of
Article III, Section 100-30B(6) shall apply only to those public
utility towers, structures and uses congruently associated with
residential or agricultural uses; i.e. TV, VHF, CB, Ham Radio,
accessory and incidental thereto, by Special Exception approval by
the Board of Appeals. Telecommunication systems such as that
proposed herein which are of a commercial nature could be
permitted as a principal use under only Article XIII and Article
XIV, by Special Exception in the LIO and LI Industrial Zone
Districts. This commercial use cannot be authorized by Special
Exception under the current zoning code under this particular
(residential/agricultural) provision (Article III, Section
100-30B(6)).
ACCORDINGLY, on motion by Mr. Villa, seconded by
Mr. Doyen, it was
RESOLVED, that the application for a Special Exception for
commercial telecommunications activities and structures as
applied under Article III, Section 100-30B(6), (ref. Article
VIII, Section 100-81B), be and hereby is DISMISSED, for the
reasons as noted above.
VOTE OF THE BOARD: AYES: Messrs. Villa, Doyen and
Goehringer. (Member Dinizio abstained and did not participate
in discussions or vote.) (Member Grigonis was absent due to
illness.) This resolution was duly adopted.

requirements, under Column "v",~are listed as a minimum for a
one-family detached dwelling:
(a) Lot size 200,000 sq. ft.

7. For the record, it is noted that Peter's Neck Road is a
town-maintained road in good to excellent condition and extends
to each of both parcels under consideration. Therefore, the
jurisdiction under New York Town Law, Section 280-A, is waived
as to need for further road improvements. No 280-A requirement
has been found of record for this access road to any of the
houses either to the east of the subject premises or to the
west, except as the Planning Board may have conditioned under
the 1981 minor subdivision (1000-32-1-12) situated at the most
easterly end of the private right-of-way.
8. For the record, it is noted that the Board has also
considered the history of conveyances over the years since prior
to 1962, and as shown on the single-and-separate search prepared
by Aquebogue Abstrac~ Corp. dated July 3, 1989. The Board
recognizes these two parcels as having been in single and
separate ownership up until the present time.
9. In considering this application, the Board also finds
and determines: (a) the relief as granted is substantial in
relation to the requirements; (b) the evidence submitted and
practical difficulties claimed are sufficient to warrant a grant
of this variance; (c) there will be no substantial change in
the character of the neighborhood, and a precedent would not be
set since the physical characteristics of this land as it
related to the general area and wetlands has existed since
before the enactment of zoning in 1957; (d) the difficulties
cannot be obviated by some method feasible to the appellant to
pursue, other than a variance; (e) that in view of the manner
in which the difficulties arose, and in considering all the
above factors, the interests of justice will be served by
granting the variance, as conditionally noted below.

$0uthold Town Board of Appeals -11- July 25, 1991 Special Meeting
ACTION OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS
Appeal No. 4033:
Application of RANDI LACALAMITA. Request for Variance to
the Zoning Ordinance, Article III, Section 100-33 for approval
of carport in the front yard area with reduced setbacks from the
front and side property lines. Location of Property: 1395
Henry's Lane, Peconic, NY; County Tax Map Designation
1000-74-1-10.
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on July 12, 1991, at
which time all those who desired to be heard were heard; 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 Board made the following Findings of Fact:
1. The premises in question is located along the west side
of Henry's Lane in Peconic, and is identified on the Suffolk
County Tax Maps as District 1000, Section 74, Block 1, Lot 10.
The entire premises consists of an area of approximately 20,700
sq. ft. and is presently improved with a single family dwelling
two small storage sheds, and the subject carport construction.
2. By this application, appellant is appealing a Notice of
Disapproval issued by the Building Inspector on May 14, 1991,
resulting from an application for a Certificate of Occupancy
under Building Permit No. 19806Z. In reviewing the building
permit file, it was noted on the rough building sketch that the
carport must be located in the rear yard. (No survey map was
submitted as part of the permit file to show to proposed
location of the carport construction on the site.)
Page ]2- Appl. No. 4033
Matter of RANDI LACALAMITA
Decision Rendered July 25, 1991
3. The area of the property upon which the carport is
located is technically within the front yard area, just forward
of the side yard area of the existing dwelling structure. The
practical difficulties are, of course, to relocate at this
particular time the carport structure in the required rear
yard.
4. Section 100-33 of the Code permits accessory buildings
and structures which are located in the required rear yard,
without a variance, at a height not to exceed 18 feet. The
carport structure consists of a size 18' x 35', and is shown to
be set back at seven feet from the easterly (front) property
line and 3.5 feet from the northerly (side) property line. The
height of the carport does not exceed the code's limitation.
5. In considering this application, the Board finds:
(a) that the relief requested is not the minimum
relative to the requirements;
(b) that the use of the carport will be consistent
with the purpose and intent of the provisions for an accessory
building since it will be an incidental and ancillary use only
to the main residence, and will not be used for habitable,
sleeping, business, or other uses which are prohibited in
accessory structures;
(c) that the difficulties claimed are self-created
and are not entirely, uniquely related the land;
(d) that the variance, as conditionally granted, will
not alter the essential character of the immediate area;
(e) that in considering all of the above, the
interests of justice will be served by conditionally approving
the requested variance, as noted below.
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Goehringer, seconded by Mr.
Dinizio, it was
RESOLVED, to GRANT permission for the subject carport
situated in the front yard area, as constructed, without
modifications, reconstruction, or any structural alterations of
any kind, and subject further to the following CONDITIONS:
Page ]3 - Appl. No. 4033
Matter of RANDI LACALAMITA
Decision Rendered July 25,
1991
1. The carport must remain open and unenclosed, as exists;
2. There be no lights, no utilities or other connections;
3. The carport not be extended or enlarged;
4. The carport not be rebuilt or altered in any manner;
5. Maintenance, repairs or other work proposed to be taken
directly to the carport structure must receive approval of the
Board of Appeals, either by written request directly to the
Chairman or by formal application, and as deemed appropriate by
the Z.B.A. under the circumstances.
6. The intent of this variance is of a temporary nature,
in order to permit the landowner to continue the use of the
carport as constructed - however, if costs are involved to
repair, to replace or otherwise maintain the structure, the
carport shall then be located in the required rear yard.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Goehringer, Dinizio and
Villa. (Member Doyen was absent at this time since he had to
leave early to return to Fishers Island, and Member Grigonis was
absent due to recent leg surgery.) This resolution was duly
adopted .

Review Act of the Environmental Conservation Law and Local Law ~44-4 of
the Town of Southold.
An Environmental Assessment (Short) Form has been submitted with the

and:
{ } this Board wishes to assume Lead Agency status and urges
coordinated written comments by your agency to be submitted with the next
20 days.
{ X } this Board has taken jurisdiction as Lead Agency, has deemed
this Board of Appeals application to be an Unlisted SEQRAAction, and has
declared a Negative Declarationfor the following reasons:
a. An Environmental Assessment has been submitted and evaluated, and/or
b. An inspection of the property has been made, or
c. Sufficient information has been furnished in the record to evaluate any
possible adverse affect of this project as filed, and/or
d. This application does not directly relate to new construction or
on-site improvements.
{ } this Board refers lead agency status to your agency since the
Board of Appeals does not feel its scope of jurisdiction is as broad as
the Planning Board concerning site changes and elements under the site
plan reviews. The area of jurisdiction by the Board of Appeals is not
directly related to site improvements or new buildings. (However, if you
do not wish to assume lead agency status within 15 days of this letter, we

UPDATE: Appl. No. 3970 - McDONALD'S CORPORATION. The
following updates were noted for the record:
June 7, 1991 - Full size copies of amended site plan received
from Mr. Annibale, Project Manager in behalf of McDonald's.
June 21, 1991 - Letter from ZBA to Planning Board coordinating
amended plan pursuant to Section 100-254B of the Zoning Code.
Continuing in early to mid July, inquiries were received from
individual Planning Board members concerning ZBA requests
concerning reconsideration under SEQRA of new facts and
concerning comments under 100-254B. A letter was requested from
PB members for the ZBA to clarify its request for reopening
SEQRA and the new facts upon which to base the request.
July 12, 1991 ZBA received memo from PB concerning 100-254B
and the PB's general agreement of amended plan, subject to minor
adjustments, County Health and DOT approvals.
July 12, 1991 - Consensus of ZBA members to further clarify
request for reconsideration under SEQRA, needed by PB before
they act. Memorandum authorized to be sent to PB.
July 15, 1991 Copy of PB memo transmitted with cover letter
by ZBA to Mr. Raynor (since they did not receive a copy). Also
ZBA indicated applicant's presence at the final hearing is
necessary in the event of questionning or request for
information necessary for a proper determination.
July 18, 1991 - Received faxed copy of letter from McDonald's
consultant indicating that McDonald's representatives will be
present at the final hearing, when notified.
July 22, 1991 - Letter to PB from ZBA clarifying areas to be
addressed and new facts obtained from ZBA hearings records.
Southold Town Board of Appeals-22- July 25, 1991 Special Meeting
NEW APPLICATION: Appl. No. 4039 - CLIFFSIDE ASSOCIATES.
Following updates of the documentation, as re-submitted, the
following action was taken:
WHEREAS, a two-fold application is being made by Ken-
neth J. Tedaldi in behalf of Cliffside Associates, through his
attorney, Richard T. Haefeli, Esq.; and
WHEREAS, upon reviewing the application forms submitted, it
is apparent that the requests are two-fold, described as:
(a) first, a request for an interpretation under the
definitions section of the zoning code, Section 100-13, and
(b) second, a request for a variance requesting
relief, apparently of the subject interpretation, which has not
yet been advertised, heard or decided by the Board;
WHEREAS, the first part of the application, to wit: the
interpretation request, is complete under the provisions'
pertaining to proper notice and filing; however the second part
of the application, to wit: the variance requesting relief, or
"alternative relief," is not complete and must be re-filed for
the following reasons:
(a) an additional filing fee of $200.00 has not been
submitted;
(b) the application is premature and has not been
filed in accordance with the normal procedures for variance
requests. At this time there is no basis to appeal for
alternative relief since a variance has not been denied or
otherwise acted upon by the Board, and which is still pending
under the first part of this application;
(c) supplemental SEQRA procedures must be followed
upon receipt of the complete variance application, and SEQRA
determinations rendered and filed in accordance with the
requirements of 6 NYCRR Part 617, and Article 8 of the
Environmental Conservation Law; the SEQRA determinations of
more than two years ago, for a different application, decided
for a Special Exception for motel units without cooking or
kitchen facilities or pertinent plumbing system hook-ups, may
not be applied entirely to this variance application which
proposes multiple cooking/kitchen facilities and pertinent water
and sewer system hook-ups in all motel units. A supplemental
LEAF for "Unlisted Actions" and other steps, if further
determined, will be required for the new variance application,
when filed in complete form;
NOW, THEREFORE, on motion by Mr. Goehringer, seconded by
Mr. Dinizio, it was
S~uthold Town Board of Appeals -2 ~ July 25, 1991 Special Meeting
RESOLVED, that the first part of this two-fold application,
to wit: the request for an interpretation under the defintion
section (Section 100-13) of the Code is authorized to be
advertised for a public hearing to be held on THURSDAY, AUGUST
15, 1991 at the Southold Town Hall, 53095 Main Road, Southold,
New York, and BE IT FURTHER
RESOLVED, that the State Environmental Quality Review Act
(SEQRA) procedures are hereby temporarily suspended to allow
processing of the first part of this two-fold application for
the interpretation only concerning transient or resort motel
definitions; and BE IT FURTHER
RESOLVED, that the second part of the two-fold application
be re-filed and processed separately, when determined complete
in accordance with the filing ~nd notice requirements of the
code for specific relief and/or alternative relief, with a
determination from the Building Inspector upon which to base the
appeal.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Goehringer, Dinizio and
Villa. (Member Doyen left early to fly back to F.I. and Member
Grigonis was absent due to illness.) This resolution was duly
adopted.
UPDATE: Appl. No. 4030 - HANAUER & BAGLEY (filed May 8,
1991, and pending SEQRA). The Chairman reported that he
attended the Scoping Session at the Planning Board Office on
July 2, 1991. At the meeting, he said he did bring it to the
Planning staff's attention that the validity of the Building
Permit as of the current date may be questionnable since the
Health Department approval expired. The survey map submitted
with the Building Permit renewal applications did not include a
current approval from the Health Department. On June 11, 1991,
Irving Like, Esq., attorney for the applicants, furnished for
the ZBA record a copy of the Health Department stamp of 6/18/83
for ref0 No. 85-SO-36 for one dwelling only on the entire 4.945
acre parcel. Subsequent to the scoping session, the Planning
Board office advised that the PB was also going to consider a
proposed "cluster plan" to join this 4.945 acre parcel with the
minor subdivision to the south (Too-Bee Realty), and cluster the
lots. Any such proposal will require a new submission by the
applicant and will, of course, require a variance for the same
number of lots, since one additional lot is still being
requested, we understand. The ZBA is awaiting communications
from the PB, as lead agency, and the applicant as to the
alternative to be chosen, as well as its SEQRA determination.
$outhold Town Board of Appeals -24- July 25, 1991 Special Meeting
