A Special Meeting was held by the Southold Town Board of Appeals
on MONDAY, MAY 18, 1992, commencing at 7:15 p.m. at the Southold Town
Hall, 53095 Main Road, Southold, New York 11971.
Present were:

(The following transactions are continued from the May 7, 1992
Agenda.)
A. Appl. No. 4093SE - WILLIAM AND RICHARD GOODALE. (Verbatim
portion of record was concluded on March 25, 1992).
The Chairman asked whether the Board Members would be in
agreement to reopen the hearing and extend time before making a
determination. The time period is 60 days from the closing of the
hearing to make a determination, and the time would expire on or
about May 24, 1992. The Board Members did not agree to reopening
the hearing since they are ready to make a determination, and
indicated that it is not procedurally proper and it is not a normal
policy to extend time to an applicant once deliberations has
commenced. Any action taken would be without prejudice to the
re-filing once the necessary proof and/or the new-car sales licensing
documentation has been made available, for consideration at a public
hearing, and deliberations.
DELIBERATIONS and DECISIONS:

Decision - William and Richard Goodale
Appl. No. 4093 - Special Exception
ACTION OF THE BOARD
Appl. No. 4093.
Application in behalf of WILLIAM GOODALE, as owner, and
RICHARD GOODALE (Tenant) for a Special Exception to the Zoning
Ordinance, Article X, Section 100-101B(12) for a permit
authorizing: (a) a new car sales establishment; (b) an
establishment of an accessory use incidental to the proposed new
car sales establishment for the sale and/or lease of use
vehicles, (c) outside display of vehicles, (d) accessory
office use incidental to the new principal use as a new car
sales establishment. The subject premises is located in the "B"
General Business Zone District and a Pre-Certificate of
Occupancy indicates that the premises has been improved and
occupied with two principal buildings, each with one
single-family dwelling use. Location of Property: 7655 Main
Road, Laurel (near Mattituck), NY; County Tax Map Parcel No.
1000-122-06-30.1 (previously 30).
WHEREAS, after due notice, a public hearing was held on
March 25, 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 documentation concerning this application; and
WHEREAS, Board members have personally viewed and are
familiar with the premises in question and the surrounding
areas; and
WHEREAS, the Board made the following findings of fact and
determination:
1. The premises in question is located in the "B" General
Business Zone District in the Hamlet of Mattituck, Town of
Southold, and is more particularly identified on the Suffolk
County Tax Maps as District 1000, Section 122, Block 6, Lot 30.1
(previously 30).
2. The subject parcel contains a total area of 36,155 sq.
ft. (.83 acre) with a frontage of 120.0 feet along the north
side of State Route 25 (Main Road). The average depth of the
Page 3 - Appl. No. 4093SE
Matter of william and Richard Goodale
Minutes of May 18, 1992 Special Meeting
parcel is 402+- feet. This parcel is improved with-two
principal structures, each containing a nonconforming
single-family residential use, which structures were built prior
to April 23, 1957 and are shown on the April 11, 1986 survey
prepared by Anthony W. Lewandowski, L.S.
3. This is a variance application appealing the MARCH 2,
1992 Building Inspector's Notice of Disapproval concerning the
lot area requirement for a proposed third principal use. The
third use proposed will require a Special Exception from this
Board, which is pending at this time under Application Nua%ber
4093, for:
(a) proposed outside sales, storage, parking and
display of used cars and other used vehicles;
(b) proposed sales, leasing, and business office
uses, to be located as a secondary principal use in the front
building, in addition to the existing principal residential use
of this building and existing principal residential use of the
rear cottage structure. The square footage of the building area
intended for office sales and business uses is 662 sq. ft., and
the use of the existing residence would be limited to
approximately 640 sq. ft. (the second floor only of the front
building).
4. Reference is made to the following requirements of
the zoning code and other zoning information relative to this
project and premises:
(a) a Pre-1957 Certificate of Occupancy #Z10885 dated
March 1, 1982 relates to two nonconforming one-family dwellings
with accessory storage;
(b) Certificate of Occupancy #Z12534 dated June 11,
1984 relates to an addition to the existing one-family dwelling
for residential/storage purposes. At the time of issuance of
this Certificate, no uses were established at the premises
except for two single-family residences;
(c) subsequently, on June 4, 1986, an application was
made to the Board of Appeals under the bulk schedule of the
zoning code {our File No. 3521} for permission to reduce living
area in one of the nonconforming dwelling units in order to add
an accessory home occupation, to wit: lawyer's office for
Andrew Goodale which in 1986 would be permitted only as an
accessory to the residence of the professional. The accessory
home occupation (lawyer's office) was proposed to be located
within the existing residential area of the front principal
Page 4- Appl. N~ 4093-SE (Goodale)
Decision Rendered~ay 18, 1992
building, without physical enlargement of the principal
structure and without expansion of any nonconforming living
areas remaining at the premises. The Bulk Schedule of the
zoning code (Section 100-31) in 1986 required a minimum livable
area of 850 sq. ft. per dwelling unit. A variance was granted
to allow a reduction in the livable floor area of the dwelling
unit to 767 sq. ft., however, no occupancy was made by Andrew
Goodale, the owner/applicant in 1986. It is personal knowledge
of board members that the premises was used solely for
single-family residential occupancy, without change for an
accessory home occupation-lawyer's office, as the permit records
show over the years. Although there was some interest in 1986
to add the accessory lawyer's office, the interest was abandoned
by Andrew Goodale over the next year or so.
(d) Later, in 1991, a third new principal use was
added, without town approvals, for used-car sales and leasing.
(e) On October 31, 1991, an application for a Special
Exception was applied for under Appl. No. 4066 requesting a
permit to sale, store, display and park used cars and used
vehicles. That Special Exception permit was denied on Decem-
ber 16, 1991 for several reasons {please see specifics of
determination filed with the Town Clerk on January 9, 1992}.
At this time, area variances were necessary for this new use on
this parcel. Also, it should be noted that proposed used car
sales and leasing establishments are permitted only as an
accessory use to a new car sales establishment or dealership --
which proof was not substantiated in the record.
{Approvals are also necessary by the Town Planning Board under
the site plan regulations of the zoning code, as well as the
Town Building Department, and other County and State governing
agencies.}
5. The provisions of the zoning code under which this
application has been made is Article X, Section 100-10lB(12)
which reads as follows:
.... 100-101B. Uses permitted by special exception by
the Board of Appeals. The following uses are
permitted by the Board of Appeals, as hereinafter
provided, subject to site plan approval by the
Planning Board: ...
(12) Public garages, gasoline service stations,
new and used motor vehicle lots, vehicle sales and

facilities, all subject to the following requirements:
(a)
Entrance and exit driveways shall have an
unrestricted width of not less than twelve
(12) feet and not more than thirty (30) feet
and shall be located not less than ten (10)
feet from any property line and shall be so
laid out as to avoid the necessity of any
vehicle backing out across any public
right-of-way.
(b)
Sale of used vehicles or boats
conducted only as accessory to
vehicles or boats.
shall be
the sale of new
(c)
Vehicle lifts or pits, dismantled autombiles,
boats and vehicles and all parts or supplies
shall be located within a building.
(d)
Ail service or repair of motor vehicles, other
than such minor servicing as change of tires or
sale of gasoline or oil, shall be conducted in
a building.
(e)
The storage of gasoline or fla~mable oils in
bulk shall be located fully underground and not
less than thirty-five (35) feet from any
property line other than the street line.
(f)
No gasoline or fuel pumps or tanks shall be
located less than fifteen (15) feet fro any
street or property line.
(g)
Outdoor area lighting shall be that generally
required for security purposes and shall be
restricted to the front one-third (1/3) of the
lot depth. All outdoor lighting shall be
located at a height of not more than fourteen
(14) feet above ground level and so directed
that illumination should not extend beyond lot
lines.
(h)
No gasoline service or repair shops or similar
businesses are to be located within three
hundred (300) feet of a church, public school,
library, hospital, orphanage or rest home...
6. Section 100-101C, subsections (1-4) of the General "B"
Business zoning regulations provide for specific uses which are
Page 6 - Minutes of May 18, 1992
Matter of william and Richard Goodale
Appl. No. 4093 Special Exception
also permitted -- only as accessory uses and subject to site
plan review. The used car sales and leasing and principal sales
office use are uses addressed in the Zoning Code as accessory
uses to a new car sales establishment or dealership. These uses
are not permitted, of course, as an accessory to any residence
or other principal uses.
7. At this point in time, the applicant/owner and/or
tenant has not obtained an amended license by the State of New
York or any other licensing or permit agencies to establish a
new car establishment or dealership under the facility name
"Mattituck Auto Center" or Richard W. Goodale. This
documentation is necessary. The only documentation submitted is
an (unreceipted) copy of an application to be filed for an
amendment to the "used car sales license."
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Goehringer, seconded by
Messrs. Villa and Grigonis, it was
RESOLVED, that the Special Exception be and hereby is
DENIED for the above-stated reasons, without prejudice (to
reapply by July 31, 1992).
In the event an application is being re-filed for a Special
Exception, the application must be filed by the owner and/or
authorized tenant, or a person or corporation having a direct
interest in the property. In order to comply with Condition
No. 4 of the area variance for alternative relief under Appl.
No. 4092, the application for a Special Exception permit must be
filed, together with appropriate licensing documentation, not
later than July 31, 1992 (which is "...120 days from the area
variance determination").

Appl. No. 4098 - TONY AND MARIA KOSTOULAS. This is an Appeal
for a Variance to the Zoning Ordinance, Article XXIII, Section
100-239.4 for approval of deck extension (at or near ground level)
and fence with an insufficient setback from the L.I. Sound bluff
line. Location of Property: 1035 Aquaview Avenue, East Marion;
County Tax Map Parcel No. 1000-21-2-13. This property is noncon-
forming as to total lot area in this R-40 Zone District.
On May 7, 1992, the Board acted to close the public hearing
pending receipt of the Town Trustees action in this CEA (Critical
Environmental Area) and a determination by the Trustees under the
SEQRA regulations. As of today, the Town Trustees have advised that
it may be requesting engineering documentation concerning the
stability of the bluff and no action on the permit process is
expected for some time. The Board agreed to reopen the hearing for
further questionning and submission of documentation as may be
required by the Town Trustees in the pending joint applications. The
percentage of relief requested by this application is 100%, and
whether or not the deck construction will aid or detriment the bluff
has not been ascertained at this time. Motion was made by
Mr. Goehringer, seconded by Mr. Villa, and unanimously carried, to
re-advertise this application for a public hearing to be continued at
the June 4, 1992 Regular Meeting. Vote: Ayes: All. This
resolution was duly adopted.

Appl. No. 4037:
Application of METRO/808 REALTY CORP. Variance to the Zoning
Ordinance, Article XXIV, Section 100-241A and Article IX, Section
100-92, as disapproved by the Building Inspector for approval of a
permanent rooflike structure (canopy) over gasoline pump island.
The principal use, gasoline sales with accessory office and
necessary inside storage incidental thereto, is nonconforming in
this Hamlet Business (HB) Zone District. Location of Property:
Corner of the northerly side of Main Road (Route 25) and the
westerly side of Depot Lane, Cutchogue, Town of Southold; County
Tax Map Parcel No. 1000-102-5-26.
WHEREAS, public hearings were held on April 2, 1992 and
May 7, 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 Merabers have personally viewed and are
familiar with the premises in question as well as the surrounding
areas; and
WHEREAS, the Board made the following findings of fact:
1. By this application, appellant has requested approval of
a 40 ft. wide by 25 ft. deep permanent canopy with built-in
lighting and fire suppression system, and renovated gasoline
island of a size 28 ft. by 4 ft., at a total height of 18 feet.
This canopy structure is located in the southerly front yard area
and is more particularly shown on the June 14, 1991 survey map
prepared by Pat T. Seccafico, L.S.
2. The premises in question is nonconforming as to lot area
of 17,933 sq. ft; the principal use of this site as a gasoline
sales station is also nonconforming in this Hamlet Business (HB)
Zone District.
3. The principal building as exists is shown to be 41.8 feet
from the southerly (front) property line, 57 feet from the
Page 9- Appl. No. 4037
Matter of METRO/808 REALTY CORP.
Decision Rendered May 18, 1992
easterly (front) property line, 17.9 feet from the northerly
(side) property line; and 60 feet from the westerly (rear)
property line, each at the closest points from the building. The
layout of the principal building is more particularly shown on
Sheet 2 of 4 on the site plan prepared by Kevin H. Bryant, P.E. as
revised October 18, 1991, and the use of the premises as a
gasoline service station was acknowledged by Preexisting
Certificate of Occupancy No. Z-18515 dated November 1, 1989.
4. For record purposes, the setbacks for the subject canopy
are noted as follows:
(a) from the southerly front property line at 2.5 feet
and 3.0 feet at its closest points;
(b) from the westerly property line at 46.5 feet;
(c) from the northerly property line at 84 feet;
(d) from the easterly property line at its closest
point, 68 feet.
(e) no request has been made in this application for a
change, modification, or alteration concerning the nonconforming
principal building or a nonconforming use.
5. Article XXIV, Sections 100-241 and 100-243 of the Zoning
Code provide that a nonconforming building or building with a
nonconforming use:
...Shall not be enlarged, altered, extended,
reconstructed or restored or placed on a
different portion of the lot or parcel ..o nor shall
any external evidence of such use be increased by
any means whatsoever, there be no enlargement of a
nonconforming building with a conforming use (or
nonconforming use) may not be increased as to the
degree of nonconformance... (and)
C. Shall not be changed back to a less-restrictive use
if changed to a more-restrictive nonconforming use.
6. In considering this application, the Board agrees with
the reasoning of the applicant and its agents and find that
although the canopy structure is an expansion in the front yard
area for the sales of gasoline (a nonconforming use), the canopy
is not a physical obstruction to vehicles entering or leaving the
premises. A fire suppression system is built-into the canopy
structure, as well as limited lighting which will aid the
Page l0 - Appl. No. 4037
Matter of METRO/808 REALTY CORP.
Decision Rendered May 18, 1992
traveling public as well as the gasoline attendants during adverse
weather conditions. Drainage areas will be installed to collect
stormwater runoff from the canopy.
7. It has been noted that the life of this system would be
20-25 years, depending on certain conditions or unexpected
weathering affects. It should be noted that although the canopy
is in existence at this time, that a review will be required to
readdress proposed safety, environmental, lighting, noise and
other considerations in the future, when a similar structure is
proposed to be built to replace the present structure.
8. It is the position of this Board that in considering this
application that:
(a) there is no alternative feasible for appellant to
pursue other than a variance;
(b) the relief, as requested, is the minimum necessary
and is not substantial in relation to the existing conditions at
the site and those generally existing in the neighborhood;
(c) the difficulties imposed are uniquely related to
the property and are not personal in nature;
(d) the grant of the variance will not adversely effect
the essential character of the neighborhood, or be adverse to the
safety, health, welfare, comfort, convenience or order of the town
and neighboring properties;
(e) in view of all the above, the interests of justice
will be served by granting the relief, as requested and further
noted below.
NOW, THEREFORE, on motion by Mr. Goehringer, seconded by
Mr. Grigonis, it was
RESOLVED, to GRANT approval of the construction of a canopy
with fire suppression system as shown on the plans prepared by
Kevin H. Bryant, P.E. revised 2/27/92 and on the survey prepared
by Pat T. Seccafico, L.S. dated June 14, 1991, SUBJECT TO THE
FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
1. Any future replacement, modification, alteration,
expansion or other type of alteration, or relocation of this
canopy structure will require a ZBA application for consideration
prior to the issuance of a building permit.

ACTION OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS
Appeal No. 4102:
Application for ROBERT AND ELEONORE CAHILL. Variance to
the Zoning Ordinance, Article III-A, Section 100-30A.3 for
permission to construct deck addition with an insufficient front
yard setback from the easterly property line (along Cedar Lane,
a private road). Location of Property: 515 East Gillette
Drive, East Marion; County Tax Map District 1000, Section 38,
Block 4, Lot 12; also referred to as Lot 69 on the "Map of
Marion Manor" filed with the Suffolk County Clerk as Map No.
2038. The subject premises is nonconforming as to lot area in
this R-40 Zone District.
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on May 7, 1992, con-
cerning the above application (filed on April 27, 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 documentation submitted concerning this application; and
WHEREAS, the Board Members have personally viewed and are
familiar with the premises in question, the current R-40 Zoning,
and the surrounding areas; and
WHEREAS, the Board made the following findings of fact:
1. The premises in question has frontage along two streets
or roads known as Gillette Drive and Cedar Lane in the Hamlet of
East Marion, Town of Southold, and is more particularly
identified on the Suffolk County Tax Maps as District 1000,
Section 38, Block 4, Lot 12;
2. The subject premises contains a total lot area of
11,330+- sq. ft. and is shown on the "Map of Marion Manor" filed
in the Suffolk County Clerk's Office as Map No. 2038 as Lot No.
69. This parcel is improved with a split-level frame house
having a front yard set back approximately 28 ft. from the front
step area, 35 feet from the easterly front property line, 35.5
feet from the southerly side property line, and 34+- feet from
the northerly side property line.
Page 12 - Appl. No. 4102
Matter of ROBERT & ELEONORE CAHILL
Decision Rendered May 18, 1992
3. By this application, a variance is requested to permit
a 14 ft. by 30 ft. open deck with a setback at approximately 20
feet (not less than 19.5 feet inclusive of railings and step
area).
4. Article III-A, Section 100-30A.3 (and Article XXIV,
Section 100-244B) requires minimum front yard setbacks for
nonconforming lots at 35 feet. There is automatic relief for
nonconforming lots of a size less than 20,000 sq. ft. in this
section for side yards with a reduction of 10 feet, however,
there was no relief provided for front or rear yards or relief
for lots having two front yards.
5. In considering this application, the Board finds:
(a) that the relief requested, and as conditionally
noted below, will not be adverse to the essential character of
the neighborhood;
(b) that the relief granted will not in turn be
adverse to the safety, health, welfare, comfort, convenience or
order of the town, or be adverse to neighboring properties;
(c) that the relief granted will not create a
substantial increase in dwelling use density, or cause
a substantial effect on available governmental facilities;
(d) that the amount of relief from the requirements
is limited to an open, unroofed deck - which is not unreasonable
when considering the size of this parcel;
(e) in considering all of the above factors, the
interests of justice will be served by granting the variance,
conditionally noted below.
as
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Goehringer, seconded by
Mr. Dinizio, it was
RESOLVED, to GRANT relief for a ~ ft. by 14 deck addition,
plus step areas, as requested, SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDI-
TIONS:
1. That the deck remain open and unroofed at all times, as
applied;
2. That the setback not be less than 20 ft. to the rear
property line;

Application of FUTURE SCREW MACHINE PRODUCTS (MR. AND MRS.
WARREN E. HUFE, JR.) Variance to the Zoning Ordinance, Article
VIII, Section 100-82 (and Article XXIV, Section 100-242A) for
permission to construct addition which will increase the degree of
nonconformance in the northerly side yard setback. The setback
from the northerly property line is less than the required 20
feet. Location of Property: 41155 C.R. 49 (and the westerly side
of Kenny's Road, Southold, NY; County Tax Map Parcel No. 1000-
59-7-33. This property is nonconforming as to total lot area in
this Limited-Business (LB) Zone District.
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on May 7, 1992 concerning
this application filed on April 27, 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,
the surrounding areas; and
and
WHEREAS, the Board made the following findings of fact:
1. By this application, appellant is requesting approval of
storage addition at the most north (easterly) corner of the
existing "1 & 2 story frame & Concrete block machine shop"
building. The addition is proposed to be 343 sq. ft. with an
extension of 10 ft. past the building into the easterly front yard
area. The northerly yard setback is proposed to be maintained at
not less than 11.1 feet at its closest point. For reference is a
photocopy of a sketched map prepared by Robert Bayley, A.I.A.
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 is also nonconforming in the

3. The premises is located in the Limited Business (LB) Zone
District and the existing principal building with addition has
received a Certificate of Occupancy under No. Z6919 dated March 4,
1976. It is noted, however, that the metal truck trailer shown on
the February 5, 1992 survey prepared by Joseph A. Ingegno will
be eliminated, being replaced by the subject addition (and only in
the location more particularly described in paragraph 1 above
(shown on the sketch map).
4. This addition is to be used for the present machine shop
use purposes, and not as a separate use.
5. It is the position of the Board in considering this
application that:
(a) the circumstances are uniquely related to the land
and buildings and are not personal in nature;
(b) the relief is not substantial in relation to the
requirements;
(c) the relief as granted will not cause a substantial
increase in use density and will used strictly for the principal
use existing at the premises;
(d) the relief requested is not unreasonable due to the
uniqueness of the property - a corner lot of a substandard size;
(e) there is no alternative for appellants to pursue
other than a variance {which would be necessary for either an
addition or an accessory building};
(f) 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.
Accel lingly, on motion by Mr. Doyen, seconded by
Messrs. Grigonis and Villa, it was
RESOLVED, to GRANT a variance for the proposed (342+- sq.
ft.) addition at the northeasterly corner of the existing
building, maintaining the existing nonconforming setback from the
northerly property line at not less than 11.1 feet at its closest
points, as applied under Appl. No. 4103, in the Matter of FUTURE
