BOARD OF APPEALS ) be denied and After investigation and inspection, the Board finds that the applicant requests permission to eliminate swimming pool fence, Private Road, Fishers Island, New York. The findings of the Board are that the applicant owns a swimming pool (con- structed prior to fencing regulation) situated between an attractively landscaped home and Block Island Sound to the south. The pool is located in the rear yard area of the approximately seven-acre tract. Access is by means of a dead-end dirt road about three miles from the village. Large areas of the tract and nearby areas are covered with dense native underbrush, and the pool is partly protected from casual intrusion by a steep bank to the south toward the beach. We agree that the remote location of the pool and it's surroundings reduces the possibility of accidents involving casual intruders. A number of pools in the Town of Southold are located similarly to achieve privacy by means of some or all of the methods noted by the applicant. No one has been granted a fencing variance. A fence would not have prevented the only Southold fatality (he jumped into a partially filled pool). It is the obligation of the Board to require all reasonable safety precautions. Accordingly, the Board finds that the hardship is not unique or unusual and that the aesthetic considerations noted by the applicant are outweighed, in our opinion, by the need to implement the safety, health, and welfare of the residents of the Town as set forth in the openings paragraphs of the Zoning Ordinance. The Board finds that strict application of the Ordinance would not produce practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship; the hardship created is not unique and would be shared by all properties alike in the immediate vicinity of this property and in the same use district; and the variance will change the character of the neighborhood, and will not observe the spirit of the Ordinance. THEREFORE IT WAS RESOLVED, Carl J. Schmid, Fishers Island, New York, be DENIED permission to eliminate swimming pool fence, Block 35, Lot 5, Private Road, Fishers Island, New York. Vote of the Board: Ayes: - Messrs: Gillispie, Bergen, Hulse, Grigonis, Doyen.

SCHMID VILLAGE Of GOLF FLORIDA 33436 November 15, 1977 Zoning Board of Appeals Town of Southold Town Clerks Office Southold, New York 11971 Gentlemen: ~ppeal No. 2338 The advice of the action taken in respect to the above numbered appeal, referring to the elimination of a swimming pool fence on my Fishers Island property, reaches me in Florida. To quote from your findings, "We agree that the remote location of the pool and its surroundings reduces the possibility of accidents involving casual intruders." This confirms the bases for my request. Your position in denying it, namely, that no one has ever been granted a variance as a matter of principle -- does not seem a strong, valid reason. In fact, on that bases, access to water of every kind on this Island s~6~-~'require fencing. I am not in agreement wityh yo~ction. Ca~ Schmid 0 CARL J. SChMID Schmid THE CHAIRMAN: Previous to this application, on September 1st the Building Inspector wrote to Carl J. Suhmid as follows: (The Chairman read the Building Inspector's letter,. and Mr. Schmid's reply. The ~hairman also read Mr. Schmid's letter of requesting that the Board postpone this hearing until the Spring.) I guess you said, Serge, that he's left for Florida, right? SERGE DOYEN, JR.: Yes. What he says is absolutely true, that place is just about inaccessible except through the single road. There is a big ravine that makes a natural barrier, underbrush, they are just about impenetrable, it is true. ROBERT BERGEN: Have you been down there? SERGE DOYEN, JR.: I tomk those pictures you've got there. (The Board discussed the pictures of the house and the surrounding property.) SERGE DOYEN, JR.: Without exaggerating it's an extra- ordinarily beautifully landscaped place. But the purpose of the fence is to keep some kid from falling in, what can I say. Like a lot of these guys say, "My pool has been there 20 years and hoBody's fallen in, not even a cat." STEVE KATZ: Are there children in the family? SERGE DOYEN, JR.: That's what I asked him, he's got grandchildren, but he said they're not allowed near the pool. THE CHAIRMAN: They're not allowed near the pool except under certain conditions. FRED HULSE, JR.: They would be inside the fence anyway. THE CHAIRMAN: Does he allow the grandchildren in the~.house? FRED HULSE, JR.: It looks like there's plenty of room. SERGE DOYEN, JR.: I don't know, if you have an ordinance for a fence around a swimming pool that means you have an or- dinance for a fence around a swimming pool. If you go along with the intent or the purpose of the Ordinance, I don't know how you'd vary it. THE CHAIRMAN: Does anyone wish to speak for this application? (There was no reponse.) Anyone wish to speak against this application? (There was no response.) I have to speak against it and state that the Ordinances of the Town of Southold are constructed for the observance of all oitizens in Southold including the residents of Fishers Island. SERGE DOYEN, JR.: By the Constitution of the State of New York. You can't have an ordinance that excludes part of the Town. THE CHAIRMAN: Equal treatment under the law requires that Fishers Island residents not be excluded from the Town Ordinance. CHARLES GRIGONIS, JR.: They may argue that it was put in before the Ordinance. SERGE DOYEN, JR.: You might throw in there somehow that aesthetic value might not add up to the harm that Could be done by not complying with the provisions of the Ordinance. THE CHAIRMAN: Aesthetic considerations are outweighed by the importance of maintaining the health, safety, and welfare of the people. SERGE DOYEN, JR.: It's true, if a kid falls in how can you justify itl. Aesthetically you could look for 1,000 years and you couldn't justify it. CHARLES GRIGONIS, JR.: Was the Ordinance written so that it applies to pools that are pre-existing? THE CHAIRMAN: Yes, they give them six months to comply. Of course, on Fishers Island they're rarely there for six months at a time. (There was further discussion of Fishers Island.) The physical barriers surrounding the applicant's pgol are not impenetrable. The Ordinance was designed to protect properties which have an"attractive nuisance." To protect residents of the Town from "Attractive nuisances." And domestic animals too. SERGE DOYEN, JR.: Put it this way, I can listen to this flack for a long time but I couldn't listen if a kid fell in. Schmid After investigation and inspection (etc.) ..... The Board finds that the applicant owns a swimming pool (Constructed prior to fencing regulation) situated between an attractively landscaped home and Block Island Sound to the south. The pool is located in the rear yard area of the approximately seven-acre tract. Access is by means of a dead-end dirt road about three miles from the village. Large areas of the tract and nearby areas are covered with dense native underbrush, and the pool is partly protected from casual intrusion by a steep bank to the south toward the beach. We agree that the remote location of the pool and its surroundings reduce~the possibility of accidents in- volving casual intruders. A number of pools in the Town of Southold are located similarly to achieve privacy by means of some or all of the method noted by the applicant. No one has been granted a fencing variance. A fence would not have prevented the only Southold fatality (he jumped into a part- ially filled pool). It is the obligation of the Board to require all reasonable safety precautions. Accordingly, the Board finds that the hardship is not unique or unusual and that the aesthetic considerations noted by the applicant are outweighed, in our opinion, by the need to implement the safety, health, and welfare of the residents of the Town as set forth in the opening paragraphs of the Zoning Ordinance. The Board finds that strict application of the Ordinance would not,produce ........ DENIED TOWN CLERK 765-3783 Building Dept.

SCHNIID ~w~x~ Fishers Island ~zw~,~x~ New York 06590 August 27, 1977 Town of Southold, Building Town Clerk's Office Southold, NY 11971 Department Attn: Building Inspector Dear Sir: I am in receipt of the Section 100-50 of the zoning code for Suffolk County as requested, with your own comments as to certain latitudes in com- plying with this ordinance. It~ purpose is clearly stated. In my case we have five acres of property on which the residence and swimming pool are situated. Ninety nine percent of this piece of property is completely surrounded by almost impenetrable natural barriers to which an additional Y'ence would'a~'~-'------ ~r nothing to prevent unauthorized access to thisproperty. If we were to provide proper closures to the limited access that exists to this property, the purposes of the ordinance would be effectively complied with, and would eliminate a very considerable expense in totally fencing in our property. As to enclosing the pool itself, any structure would be an actual eye sore and detract immensely from the front appearance of my property. It would be the very last thin~ that I would contemplate. my home is located in a sparsely settled area, with no year round residents. The privacy of homes in this area is well respected, and the possible careless wandering into our property practically nil. Consequently, fences of any kind, with the natural barriers already surrounding these larger properties, would contribute little if anything toward the further safety factor, the intent of the ordinance. Inasmuch as you suggest a fence around the whole property would~"Jmply with Ordinance 100-3~ it ~ould appear to me that the proper closure to the limited access to our property would provide the same protection as a fence if erected, and without the very considerable expense. It would also prevent having to erect an eye sore on the property. I would appreciate your letting me know if it is possible to get a variance to this effect. Sincerely, CJS~a ~e~t 1, 1977 Carl J.
