ACTION OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS
Appl. No. 4079:
Matter of GEORGE STORMS. Variance to the Zoning Ordinance,
Article XXIII, Section 100-230C(1) for approval of fence areas
along the front yards which will be in excess of the four-foot
height limitation. Location of Property: 105 Bridge Lane,
Cutchogue, NY; County Tax Map Parcel No. 1000-118-3-3.5, also
known as part of Lots 128 and 127 on the Amended Map of Nassau
Point.
WHEREAS, after due notice, a public hearing was held on
January 23, 1992, and at said hearing all those who desired to
be heard were heard and their testimony recorded; and
WHEREAS, the Board has carefully considered all testimony
and doc~mentation submitted concerning this application; and
WHEREAS, Board Members have personally viewed and are
familiar with the premises in question, its present zoning,
the surrounding areas; and
and
WHEREAS, the Board 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 six feet. The length of the fence is
approximately 76 feet along Bridge Lane, approximately 36-1/2
feet extending in a north-south direction from the house, and
approximately 49 feet along the southerly rear property line
also extending in a north-south direction. Although only that
portion of the fence located in the "front yard" are required to
be at four feet in height, the entire fence enclosure is
intended to fully enclose the pool area located in the rear yard
between the applicant's house and the neighboring parcels (to
the south).
2. The premises in question is located in the R-40 Zone
District and contains a total area of approximately 40,000 sq.
ft. The copy of the survey submitted with this application
shows that this parcel is improved with a 1-1/2 story frame
house and accessory swimmingpool in the southerly (rear) yard
~age 7 - Appl. No. 4079
Matter of GEORGE STORMS
Decision Rendered March 5, 1992
area. The subject pool and fence enclosure are the subject of
an outstanding building permit (No. 20194) and require final
approval for a Certificate of Occupancy.
3. Article XXIII, Section 100-230C(1) of the Zoning Code
provides that any fence to be situated along the front property
line must be erected and maintained at a height not exceeding
four feet. (Fences along the side and rear yard areas are
permitted at the proposed height of six feet.)
4. It is the position of the Board in considering this
application that:
(a) the circumstances are uniquely related to this
property particularly since it is a corner lot;
(b) the circumstances are not personal in nature;
(c) the
variance of 50% of
height;
relief is substantial as
the requirements for the
applied, being a
additional two foot
(d) the relief as granted does not involve any
increase of dwelling unit density and will not cause a
substantial effect on available governmental facilities since
the structure is a fence for security, screening and privacy
purposes;
(e) the relief requested is not unreasonable due to
the uniqueness of the property and the immediate area;
(f) there is no alternative economically feasible for
appellant to pursue other than a variance;
(g) the variance will not 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 there are fences
and structures at heights above four feet on this pennisula
(Nassau Point) used for the same purposes and/or structures such
as tennis courts or screened storage areas incidental to
residences in the area.
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Dinizio, seconded by
Mr. Goehringer, it was
RESOLVED, to GRANT a Variance for permission for new fence
at a maximum height of six feet as located along the front yard
areas and as described in paragraph #1, supra, with the lawn
Page 8 . Appl. No. 4079
MatteI of GEORGE STORMS

area along the front property line of Bridge Lane being
maintained.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Doyen, Grigonis,
Dinizio, and Goehringer. Naye: Mr. Villa (opposed to
granting of height variance since the reasons for the
difficulties are self-imposed). This resolution was duly
adopted.

Regular Meeting of March 5, 1992
Southold Town Board of Appeals
ACTION OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS
Appl. No. 4075:
Upon application of MICHAEL HEP~BERT for a Variance to the
Zoning Ordinance, Article IX, Sections 100-91A and Section
100-92, Bulk Area and Parking Schedules, for permission to
establish business sales office in addition to existing uses as
an owner-occupied two-family dwelling with manager's quarters.
The lot area applicable to each use in this Hamlet-Business Zone
District is 20,000 per unit/use. The lot as exists is
nonconforming for the existing principal uses having a total lot
area of 20,129+- sq. ft. Location of Property: 795 Pike
Street, Mattituck, Town of Southold; County Tax Map Parcel ID
No. 1000-140-2-23.
WHEREAS, public hearings were held on January 23, 1992 and
on March 5, 1992, at which time all 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 this application; and
WHEREAS, Board Members have personally viewed and are
familiar with the premises in question, its present zoning,
the surrounding areas; and
and
WHEREAS, the Board made the following Findings of Fact:
1. This is an application for a variance requesting the
establishment of a real estate business use in addition to the
existing owner-occupied two-family dwelling use and manager's
quarters (for the owner's occupancy). This area variance
request is for a reduction in the required land area from
20,000 sq. ft. per unit/use for four proposed uses, to wit:
two single-family dwelling units, one owner-occupied manager's
quarters, and the proposed real estate business (office) use,
(all on a 20,129 sq. ft. parcel instead of 80,000 sq. ft. of
land area).
2. The subject premises is located in the Hamlet-Business
Zone District along the north side of Pike Street (House No.
795) in the Hamlet of Mattituck, and is improved with an
existing two-story framed principal building and separate
Page ]0- March 5, 1992
Appl. No. 4075 - MICHAEL HERBERT
Southold Town Board of Appeals
accessory (storage) garage located in the rear yard area, all as
shown on the sketched map submitted for consideration.
3. The grounds of disapproval by the Building Inspector as
issued on October 9, 1991 cites insufficient land area as
outlined in Article IX, Section 100-92, Bulk Area and Parking
Schedules, as well as the issues of site plan and parking
approvals necessary under Section 100-91A (Planning Board), and
exterior sign(s) which apparently were not indicated on the
rejected building permit application.
4. The area of the existing building proposed to be
utilized is "a portion of the first floor apartment for a real
estate business." (ref. appeal application) It is the
intention of the applicant to continue the three established
uses, and not to eliminate one of those uses in exchange for the
proposed new (business) use.
5. For the record, it is also noted that:
(a) prior to January 10, 1989, the subject premises
was located in an "A" Residential and Agricultural Zone District
and was a substand parcel. Two-acre zoning (80,000 sq. ft.)
minimum lot area required from 1983 to 1989. The premises at
this time was a conforming residential use, but nonconforming as
to lot area and width;
(b) on May 28, 1986, a use variance was denied under
Appeal no. 3472 during for a proposed Bed and Breakfast in an
"A" Residential and Agricultural Zone District {which was not
listed as a permitted by Special Exception at this time}
(c) on January 10, 1989, the Southold Town Board
adopted revisions to the Master Plan zoning maps and code, which
also modified the zoning of the subject parcel to Hamlet-
Business (HB). The parcel, having a land area of 20,000 sq. ft.
with one dwelling use, was conforming as to total lot area at
this time.
(d) on March 29, 1990, the conditional grant of an
owner-occupied two-family dwelling use with manager's quarters
was effectuated {through ZBA determinations rendered March 29,
1990 under Appl. No. 3924}.
(e) under Appl. No. 3924, any change, modification,
increase or expansion, structurally or otherwise, as well as
change of use to other than two-family residential, will require
further approval by the Board of Appeals as well as
consideration by the Planning Board under the site plan
regulations. Accordingly, there shall be no retail sales
permitted at the premises, now or in the future, unless
Page ]]- March 5, 1992
Appl. No. 4075 - MICHAEL HERBERT
Southold Town Board of Appeals
appropriate approvals from Building, Zoning and Planning have
been issued. Information obtained from the 1990 application
and file documentation indicate the following proposed livable
floor areas within the existing structure: (1) front unit,
863+- sq. ft., (2) rear unit 477 sq. ft., (3) third unit 639
sq. ft.
(f) a Bed and Breakfast Special Exception permit was
officially withdrawn by the property owner/applicant and
resolution of this Board rendered September 26, 1991 under Appl.
No. 3539 as it pertained to a conditional Special Exception
initially granted on September 11, 1986. The withdrawal of the
Bed and Breakfast was a mandatory condition to the 1990
resolution approving the two-family use and manager's quarters
(owner-occupancy).
6. In considering an area variance, the following
standards must be considered:
(a) whether strict compliance with the requirements
will result in practical difficulties, and whether the
difficulties claimed are sufficient to grant the relief
requested;
(b) whether the difficulties created can be obviated
by some method feasible for appellant to pursue other than a
variance;
(c) whether a substantial change will be produced in
the character of this property, the neighborhood, or be a
detriment to adjoining properties;
(d) whether the variance, if allowed, will effect
available governmental facilities;
(e) whether the variance requested is personal in
nature or the relief requested is uniquely related to the land;
(f) whether or not the dificulties claimed have been
created by the owner or by a predecessor in title;
(g) whether the variance is the minimum necessary to
afford relief.
7. In considering all the above standards, the Board
finds and determines, as follows:
(a) that the practical difficulties claimed are not
sufficient to grant the relief requested and are not uniquely
related to the land, and the practical difficulties claimed as a
ground for this variance has been created by the owner in title;
Page ]2- March 5, 1992
Appl. No. 4075 - MICHAEL HERBERT
Southold Town Board of Appeals
(b) that there is an alternative available for
appellant to pursue, that is, to eliminate one of the existing
dwelling units or the manager's quarters, and substitute in
place thereof the proposed real estate business use (and
applying for site plan approval before the Planning Board and
other agency permit approvals in doing so) -- the land is
presently over-utilized with three units on a substandard parcel
~see record of prior actions by the landowner herein concerning
multiple uses};
(c) although there is uniqueness to the noncon-
formities of this parcel as exist, the relief requested is not
uniquely related only to this parcel since the law is applied to
all other properties which would also share the same
circumstances;
(d) that the essential character of the neighborhood
will be changed and substantial detriment to adjoining
properties will be created - the relief requested for a fourth
use is incompatible with the overall plan and policy for
development of the town and would create conditions distinctly
different from those existing in the locality by adding problems
incident to an increase in density as well as unquestionably
altering the essential character of this neighborhood of
substandard parcels.
(e) that the difficulties claimed are self-created
since the landowner is bound by the applicable provisions of the
ordinance and by the facts and circumstances concerning the use
of his property -- although learned by the landowner having
exercised reasonable diligence;
(f) that the amount of relief requested is
substantial in relation to the requirements - the subject lot is
occupied by three units, to wit: two dwelling units and one
manager's quarters on less than the required 60,000+- sq. ft. of
land area. An additional 20,000 sq. ft. of land area is
required for this proposed fourth use as a real estate
business.
reasonable
the land;
(g) that the landowner is not deprived of a
return on his land and is not prevented from using
(h) proof has not been submitted as to actual dollars
and cents proof as necessary under the circumstances to show the
extent of practical difficulties claimed to be suffered by the
landowner;
(i) that in view of the manner in which the
difficulty arose and in consideration of all the above factors,
Page ]3_ March 5, 1992

Southold Town Board of Appeals
the interests of justice will be served by denying the relief
requested.
NOW, THEREFORE, on motion by Mr. Doyen, seconded by
Mr. Goehringer, it was
RESOLVED, that the relief as requested under Appl. No. 4075
in the Matter of the Application for MICHAEL HERBERT, be and
hereby is DENIED.

ACTION OF THE BOARD
Appl. No. 4083.
Application of LEONARD AND DONNA SCHLEGAL. Variance to the
Zoning Ordinance, Article XXIII, Section 100-231, for approval of
fence exceeding the maximum four-foot height requirement in the
front yard area and located along the northerly side property
line. Location of Property: 1475 Home Pike Road, Mattituck, NY;
also shown on the "Map of Point Pleasant," filed in the Suffolk
County Clerk's Office on May 17, 1916 as Map No. 720, filed Lot
Nos. 13, 14 and part of 12 (containing 2.563 acres of total lot
area); County Tax Map Parcel No. 1000-114-1-15.1.
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on March 5, 1992, and 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, its present zoning, and
the surrounding areas; and
WHEREAS, the Board made the following findings of fact:
1. By this application, appellant is requesting approval of
the placement of a stockade fence in the front yard area extending
from the front property line in an easterly direction approxi-
mately 185 feet (along the northerly side property line.
2. The premises in question contains a total lot area of
approximately 88,900 square feet - as shown on the set-off map
approved by the Southold Town Planning Board on August 18, 1982
(for Parcel #1). This parcel is located in the R-40 Zone District
and has a frontage (lot width) along Home Pike Road of 121.14
feet. Access to this property is over Home Pike Road, a private
road, which was the subject of a conditional 280-A approval under
New York Town Law rendered September 39, 1982.
3. The subject premises is improved with a two-story frame
house situated approximately 185 feet from the front (westerly)

Decision Rendered March 5, 1992
Matter of LEONARD AND DONNA $CHLAGEL
property line, and 15.5 feet from the northerly (side) property
line at its closest points.
4. Article XXIII, Section 100-231 of the Zoning Code
provides that:
Fences ... within five (5) feet of the property
lines may be erected and maintained, subject to
the following height limitations:
A. When located in the front yard along the
front lot line, the same shall not exceed four
(4) feet in height.
B. When located along side and rear yards, the
same shall not exceed six and one-half (6-1/2)
feet in height.
C. When located other than in the front yard
area or along side or rear lot lines, the same
shall not exceed eight (8) feet in height.
5. The fence area which is the subject of this variance
application is that area located in the front yard, along the side
property line, extending approximately 185 feet in length. The
fence area beyond this front yard area does not require a variance
since the height will conform to subsection B of Section 100-231.
6. It is the position of the Board in considering this
application that:
(a) the circumstances related to the land and building
are unique - the minimum requirement in an R-40 Zone District for
the front yard setback is 50 feet, and the principal dwelling as
exists is set back more than three times the minimum requirements,
increasing the size of the limited front yard areas;
(b) the relief is substantial in relation to the
requirement, being a variance of 50% {from four feet to six
feet};
(c) the relief as granted will not be an increase in use
density and is intended for screening and privacy purposes;
(d) the relief, as alternatively granted, is not
unreasonable-and is due to the'uniqUeness of the property as noted
previously;

Ordinance, Article IIIA.3, 100-31A.3, Bulk Schedule, for
approval of insufficient lot area and width of two parcels, as
conveyed by deeds in 1951 and in 1956. Location of Property:
Northeast side of Calves Neck Road, Southold, NY; County Tax
Map Parcel Nos. 1000-63-7-34 and 35.
WHEREAS, public hearings were held on December 16, 1991 and
January 23, 1992, at which time 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, its present zoning,
the surrounding areas; and
and
WHEREAS, the Board made the foI-lowing Findings of Fact:
'1. This is an application concerning a total lot area of
55,789 sq. ft. situated in the R-40 Residence District and
located along the northeasterly side of Calves Neck Road, Hamlet
of Southold, Town of Southold, and more particularly identified
on the Suffolk County Tax Maps as District 1000, Section 63,
Block 7, Lots 34 and 35.
2. The most southerly half of the subject premises is
improved with a one-story, single-family dwelling which is
situated approximately 48 feet from the front property line
along Calves Neck Road, approximately 6.7 feet from the proposed
division line to the west, and 24.9 feet to the easterly (side)
property line.
3. By this variance application, appellant is requesting
permission to reestablish separate parcels as shown on the
County Tax Maps of Suffolk County, referred to as Lot #34 and
Lot #35, and more particularly described in the deeds of
conveyance to the applicant dated ~une 9, 1951 and July 28, 1956
and further noted as follows:
Page ]~ Appl. No.
Matter of ETHEL BETZ ~
Decision Rendered March 5,
1992
(a) proposed westerly half, shown as Lot ~34 on the
County Maps, contains a proposed total lot area of 26,097 sq.
ft. with 125.47 ft. frontage along Calves Neck Road;
(b) proposed easterly half, shown as Lot ~35 on the
County Maps, contains a proposed total lot area of 29,692 sq.
ft. with 125.47 ft. frontage along Calves Neck Road.
4. Column iii of the Bulk Schedule, and Article IIIA,
Section 100-31A.3 of the zoning code regulations (as amended
January 10, 1989) requires a minimum lot area of 40,000 square
feet per lot and minimum width of 150 feet.
5. The percentages of relief sought by this application
are as follows:
(a) proposed westerly lot {referred to as Lot 034} is
66% of the total lot area requirement of 40,000 sq. ft.;
(b) proposed easterly lot {referred to as Lot ~35} is
75% of the total lot area requirement of 40,000 sq. ft.;
6. In considering this application, the Board also finds
and determines:
(a) the relief as granted is not substantial in
relation to lots existing in this vicinity;
(b) the practical difficulties claimed and dollars-and
cents-proof are sufficient, as submitted in the record, 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
for the following reasons:
{1} immediately to the west and east are parcels
of similar character and size comparable to this application;
there have been no other mergers found in this vicinity, except
that a parcel five lots to the west (1000-63-7-29.1) consists of
an area of 40,000 sq. ft. as combined and the character of this
lot is not comparable when viewing the size, shape, contours,
building setback requirements, etc. All other parcels in
this area have been recognized as individual, separate parcels
for at least 25 years, most of which have been improved with
single-family dwellings. The circumstances under this
application, and this approval, will not have a direct effect or
set a precedent to any other lots in this neighborhood.
{2} the parcels immediately south of Calves Neck
Road in the vicinit~ of applicant's land do consist of a total
lot areas from approximately 29,000 sg. ft. to 39,000 sq. ft. +-

as shown by the county tax maps, as deeded for each parcel
{these parcels are not dividable into substandard lots in this
R-40 zone district under the circumstances under which they
exist and have existed since prior to the enactment of one-acre
zoning in November 1971, and prior thereto, based upon our
review of the town and county records};
{3} the lots which exist in the immediate
vicinity are lots which appear to have been single and separate
since the 1960's and have not existed by creation of a zoning
variance - the subject application is uniquely related to the
land and is not personal in nature.
(d) the difficulties cannot be obviated by some
method feasible for the appellant to pursue, other than a
variance;
(e) that the grant of this variance will not created
a substantial change in the area or substantial density
increases, particularly since the practical difficulties are not
shared by the surrounding area parcels;
(f) that the applicant has received approvals from
the Suffolk County Department of Health Services under Article
6 - Realty Development and Subdivision Regulations;
(g) 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.
(h) that it is the board's belief from personally
viewing the land and buildings and from statements in the record
that it was the appellant's intention not to abandon the
separability of the lots, and that the lots were intended to be
conveyed as a separate building parcel at some future date
exactly as conveyed by deeds at Liber 3226 cp 230 dated 6/9/51
from L. Barron Hill and Adelaide H. Hill and at Liber 4164 cp 49
dated 7/28/56 from Helen Wickham to the current owner.
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Grigonis, seconded by
Mr. Dinizio, it was
RESOLVED, to GRANT the relief as requested under Appeal
No.4047 in the Matter of ETHEL BETZ, with the PROVISION THAT THE
VACANT PARCEL IS SUBJECT TO THE BULK SCHEDULE REGULATIONS FOR
THE R-40 ZONE DISTRICT concerning side yards at 15 and 20 feet,
front yard at 40 feet, setback from wetlands at 75 feet, lot
coverage at 20% limitation, etc.

and
WHEREAS, the Board made the following findings of fact:
1. By this application, appellant is requesting approval of
storage addition at the westerly side of the existing building.
The addition is 14'8" and 4" overhang, all to be set back 11.5 (or
12 feet) from the westerly (side) property line. Although the
setback requested in the application is 12 feet, the setback
according to the survey prepared February 5, 1992 indicates that
the building is presently set back 26.0 feet from the westerly
side property line at its closest point, thus a reduction in this
setback by 14'8 feet and a 4" overhang will leave a setback at
approximately 11.2 feet.
2. The premises in question is nonconforming as exists with
a total lot area and width containing a total area of 13,718.85
feet (.3149 ac.). The building as exists is nonconforming in the
northerly rear yard (on this corner lot) and the front yard
setback from County Road 48 is shown to be 18.4 feet at its
closest point.

purposes which are accessory and incidental only to the principal
use of the premises.

and buildings and are not personal in nature;
(b) the relief is substantial in relation to the
requirement, being a variance of approximately 40% {from a 20 ft.
setback to 11.2+- feet);
(c) the relief as granted will not be an increase in use
density since it will be used for accessory storage purposes;
(d) the relief requested is not unreasonable due

substandard size;

essential character of the neighborhood and is the minimum
necessary to afford relief;
(b) although the relief requested is substantial in
relation to the requirements, aue to area precedents set in this
immediate neighborhood, the application is not unreasonable;
(c) the relief as requested will not increase
dwelling unit density or cause a substantial effect on available
governmental facilities;
(d) the relief requested cannot be obviated.by
another method feasible to appellant to pursue, other than a
variance;
(e) the relief requested is uniquely related to the
land as well as the immediate area in this preexisting

difficulties, particularly with reference to small parcel size,
reduced setback, and excessive lot coverage.
(f) in considering all of the above factors, the
interests of justice will be served by granting the variance,
conditionally noted below.
