ACTION OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS
Appl. No. 4080.
Upon Application of GEORGE AND SUE TSAVARIS. This is an
Appeal for a Variance to the Zoning Ordinance, Article XXIII,
Section 100-239.4 for approval of location of accessory satellite
(antenna) dish structure with a setback at approximately 36 feet
from the bluff line. The requirement for all structures under
Section 100-239.4 is 100 feet from the Long Island Sound bluff.
Location of Property: 2170 The Strand Way, East Marion, NY;
Pebble Beach Farms Filed Map No. 6266, Lot 111; Parcel ID
No. 1000-30-2-53.
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on May 7, 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;
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. This is an application for a Variance under Article
XXIII, Section 100-239.4 for approval of an accessory structure,
i.e. satellite antenna dish which has been located (without a
building permit) in the rear yard area and the base of which is
shown to be situated 37 feet from the existing top of the L.I.
Sound bluff.
2. The premises is known as Lot No. 111 on the "Map of
Pebble Beach Farms" and is improved with a single-family,
two-story dwelling with porch situated at 55-1/2 feet from the
closest distance to the top of the bluff line and located 100
feet from the average top of bluff shown on the filed subdivision
map. Also existing at the premises is the subject antenna dish
structure, barbeque "burner," play area and deck landward of the
Page 7 - Appl. No. 4080
Matter of GEORGE & SUE TSAVARIS
Decision Rendered June 4, 1992
top of the bluff. There are steps sloping down the bluff to the
beach area at the bottom of the bluff.
4. Article XXIII, Section 100-239.4A of the Zoning Code
requires all buildings and structures located on lots upon which
there exists a bluff or bank landward of the shore or beach of
shall be set back not less than one hundred (100) feet from the
top of such bluff or bank.
5. Correspondence has been received from the office of the
Town Trustees confirming that the antenna structure is beyond
their jurisdiction under the Coastal Erosion Hazard Ordinance
adopted in November 1991 (Ch. 37) and the Town Wetland Ordinance
(Ch. 97).
6. The applicants have indicated that they have
communicated with the N.Y.S. Department of Environmental
Conservation and have been assured that the structures are
grandfathered as exist.
7. For the record, the following additional information is
noted:
(a) the overall height of the antenna dish is at a
maximum of 17 to 18 feet above ground;
(b) the overall width of the antenna dish is
approximately nine (9') feet;
(c) there are cedar trees existing along the easterly
side of the antenna location which will suffice for screening
purposes -- additional screening would limit waterviews for the
property owner and adjacent property owners;
(d) satellite signals are limited to areas located
within 45 feet, or less, of the top of the bluff line {shown on
the copy of the survey with the signal areas highlighted in
yellow}. There is no other location except to position the
satellite at a dangerous height on the roof of the house, or
perhaps in the front yard, which is not permitted without
variances and further consideration. The alternatives are not
more feasible under the circumstances.
(e) this application is strictly for the satellite
antenna dish, and not for any other structure existing at this
time within 100 ft. of the top of the bluff. (No other variance
application has been found of record for this property.)
P~ge 8 - Appl. No. 4080
Matter of GEORGE & SUE TSAVARIS
Decision Rendered June 4, 1992
8. It is the position of this Board that in considering
this application:
(a) the relief requested is in this application is
not substantial in relation to those buildings existing generally
in the neighborhood and along this Sound bluff;
(b) an accessory structure for satellite antenna
purposes is required to obtain a building permit, however, it is
not a prohibited use;
(c) it is not uncommon for parcels along the Sound
bluff to require variances for accessory structures within 100
feet of the bluff because the principal structures preexist the
enactment of Section 100-239.4 (previously 100-119.2 under the
old zoning code);
(d) there is at least one other similar antenna dish
located in the immediate neighborhood to the west;
(e) the difficulties are uniquely related to the
property and its topography, and the difficulties claimed are
not personal to the landowner;
(f) the amount of relief requested will not in turn be
adverse to the safety, health, welfare, comfort, convenience or
order of the town, nor will it prevent neighboring properties
from enjoyment of their properties;
(g) there is no alternative feasible for appellants to
pursue other than a variance;
(h) in view of all the above, the interests of justice
will be served by granting relief, as conditionally noted below.
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Dinizio, seconded by
Mr. Grigonis, it was
RESOLVED, to GRANT a variance for an accessory (satellite
antenna dish) structure only, as applied in the Matter of MR. AND
MRS. GEORGE TSAVARIS under Appl. No. 4080, SUBJECT TO THE
FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
1. That the antenna dish not be replaced, rebuilt,
re-located, moved, or otherwise altered or modified (except
through an additional permit/variance application process);
2. That the cedar trees as exist be properly maintained in
good condition;
Page 9 - Appl. No. 4080
Matter of GEORGE & SUE TSAVARIS
Decision Rendered June 4, 1992
3. That there be no physical disturbance to or near the
bluff area;
4. That the appellants must apply for and receive a
building permit (and other agency approvals which may be deemed
necessary) for structures at this site.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Grigonis, Doyen, Dinizio
and Villa. Nay: Chairman Goehringer (voted against the
resolution because he felt that additional screening along the
easterly property line was necessary). This resolution was duly
adopted. (Margin: 4-1).

Regular Meeting and Hearings
Southold Town Board of Appeals
ACTION OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS
Appeal No. 4112:
Application for HENRY AND BETTY HINTZE. A variance is
requested under Article XXIV, Section 100-244B for permission to
construct deck addition and with a setback at less than 75 feet
from the existing bulkhead, and under Article III, Section
100-33 for small accessory shed in the front yard. This parcel
contains a total lot area of 14,500+- sq. ft. and is located in
the R-80 Zone District. Location of Property: Right-of-Way
extending off the easterly side of Pipes Neck Road, Greenport,
NY; County Tax Map Parcel No. 1000-53-1-15.
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on June 4, 1992 and at
said hearing all those who desired to be heard were heard and
their testimony recorded (no opposition was received); 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 present use and zone
district, and the surrounding areas; and
WHEREAS, the Board made the following findings of fact:
1. The premises in question:
(a) is a parcel of land situate along the south side
of a private road known as "Brooks Road," House No. 590 in
Greenport, Town of Southold, and contains the following existing
nonconformities under the bulk schedule of the current zoning
code:
lot area at 14,130 sq. ft.
lot width (frontage) at 50 feet;
(b) is improved with a 1 & 1/2 story, single-family
dwelling structure and accessory shed of a size 7 feet x 10

page tl- Applo No. 4112
Matter of HENRY AND BETTY HINTZE
Decision Rendered June 4, 1992
(c) is located in the R-80 Zone District as adopted
by the Master Plan of January 10, 1989.
2. By this application, appellants have requested approval
of a 10 ft. deep by 37+- ft. long open (one-story) deck addition
at the southerly (waterview) side of the house, plus a four-ft.
deck extending approximately 11 ft. in a north-south direction,
all as shown on the two sketched diagrams prepared by the
applicants for consideration. The sketches show the side deck
to be set back at eight (8') feet from the westerly side
property line, and show the rear deck to be 67 feet from the
highwater mark along Pipes Neck Creek (and 30 feet to the
existing landscape ties landward of the edge of Pipes Neck
Creek. at 42 feet from the closest bulkhead at the top of the
bluff. The setback at the easterly side yard from the new deck
will remain nonconforming at five feet (maintaining the existing
setback).
3. It is noted for record purposes that the deck was built
about two years ago (without a building permit). The accessory
shed structure was also built (without a permit), but was
rebuilt to replace an existing structure. {See photos submitted
for consideration}.
4. Article XXIV, Section 100-239.4B requires all buildings
located on lots upon which a bulkhead, concrete wall, riprap or
similar structure exists and which are adjacent to tidal water
bodies other than sounds shall be set back not less than
seventy-five feet from the retaining structure.
5. Article III, Section 100-33 requires accessory
buildings and accessory uses to be located in the rear yard.
The rear yard for this property is technically that area seaward
of the existing dwelling.
6. Article XXIV, Section 100-244B requires a minimum side
yards at 10 and 15 feet, and an increase or expansion of other
established nonconforming setbacks require a variance.
7. The amount of relief requested by this application is
10 feet for the deck at the southerly end and 5 feet at the
easterly side yard. It should be noted that the setback of the
deck to the highwater mark along the creek is shown to be more
than the required 75 feet.
8. To locate the accessory shed in the required rear yard
rather than landward of the house would encourage construction
closer to the creek and beach area, which is not more feasible
under the circumstances for environmental purposes. (Amend-
page 12- Appl. No. 4112
Matter of HENRY AND BETTY HINTZE
Decision Rendered June 4, 1992
ments to the zoning code are being considered at this time by
the Legislative Committee to permit accessory sheds in the front
yard area for parcels fronting along a waterway or wetlands
areas.)
9. In considering this application, the Board also finds:
(a) that the deck nor the shed will not be an adverse
impact to the essential character of the neighborhood;
(b) that 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;
(c) tha~ the construction under consideration is for
an open deck addition {not to be enclosed or roofed) and a
small accessory shed in the front yard, neither of which are
considered to be a major activity; and the grant of such relief
will not create an increase in any dwelling unit density or
cause a substantial effect on available governmental'facilities;
(d) that there is no other alternative feasible for
appellants to pursue;
(e) in considering all of the above factors, the
interests of justice will be served by granting the relief
requested and as conditionally noted below.
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Dinizio, seconded by
Mr. Grigonis, it was
RESOLVED, to GRANT approval of the open deck construction
and small accessory shed as requested under Appl. No. 4112
(Henry and Betty Hintze) as more particularly shown on the
sketched map submitted with the application, and SUBJECT TO THE
FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
1. The deck remain unroofed and open, as requested and as
exists; {There shall be no permanent enclosure of the deck
addition (plexiglass or otherwise), other major alteration or
placement of a roof};
2. The deck not be enlarged or expanded, without further
approvals.
VOTE OF THE BOARD: Ayes: Messrs. Goehringer, Grigonis,
Doyen, Dinizio and Villa. This resolution was duly adopted.

7. In considering this application, the Board also finds:
(a) that the deck will not be an adverse impact to
the essential character of the neighborhood, and the relief
requested in this application is not substantial in relation to
those buildings existing generally in the neighborhood and along
this Sound bluff;
(b) that 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;
(c) that the addition is for an open deck {not to be
enclosed or roofed}, is not a major activity or structure under
the circumstances, and will not create an increase in any
dwelling unit density or cause a substantial effect on available
governmental facilities;
(d) that there is no other alternative feasible for
appellant to pursue;

Matter of ARCAS/ROWAN
Decision Rendered June 4,
1992
(e) in considering all of the above factors, the
interests of justice will be served by granting the relief as
requested and conditionally noted below.
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Villa, seconded by
Mr. Grigonis, it was
RESOLVED, to GRANT approval of the open deck construct as
requested under Appl. No. 4060 (John Rowan) as more particularly
shown on the January 28, 1992 survey for a reduction of the

approvals.
VOTE OF THE BOARD: AYES: Messrs. Goehringer, Grigonis,
Doyen, Dinizio and Villa. This resolution was duly adopted.
BOARD OF APPEALS
TOWN OF SOUTHOLD
ACTION OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS
Appl. No. 4111:
Matter of JOHN G. AND MARIE ELENA BRIM. Amended variances
to the Zoning Ordinance, Article III, Section 100-33 for
permission to locate accessory tennis court with steps and
retaining wall in the side yard and partly in the front yard,
and having an insufficient setback from the front property line
and the freshwater wetlands, (which will include the removal of
an existing garage presently in the side yard). Location of
Property: Northerly side of Private Road off East End Avenue,
Fishers Island, Town of Southold; County Tax Map Parcel No.
1000-4-3-3; also referred to as FIDCO Block 18, Lots lA and lB
as combined, having a total land area of 3.56+- acres in this
R-120 Zone District.
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on June 4, 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, the 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. PROPERTY IDENTIFICATION: The premises in question is
located in the R-120 Zone District at the East End of Fishers
Island, fronting along the north side of Private Road and
frontage along Fishers Island Sound, and identified on the
Suffolk County Tax Map as District 1000, Section 4, Block 3, Lot
3.
2. SITE DESCRIPTION: The subject premises is improved
with a 4700+- sq. ft. dwelling, accessory swimming pool,
extensive garden and driveway areas, and accessory garage
structures, all as shown on the site plan map prepared by
Richard H. Strouse, L.E. for Chandler, Palmer & King, L.S. on
Page 17_ Appl. No. 4111
Decision Rendered June 4, 1992
Matter of JOHN AND ELENA BRIM
January 31, 1992. The subject premises consists of a total lot
area of 3.56+- acres (combined as one lot: FIDCO numbers iA
and lB). The contours of the property vary significantly as
depicted on the site plan may revised February 21, 1992 (also
prepared by Chandler, Palmer & King, L.S.).
3. AMENDMENT REQUESTED: This application is requesting an
amended location for a proposed tennis court {which was
originally submitted for a 60' by 120' tennis court with a
minimum distance: (a) from the easterly side lot line at 15
feet, (b) from the southerly front property line at not less
than six (6') feet, and (c) from the wetlands as flagged by the
D.E.C. at 43 (or 44') feet}. The location as amended is shown
on the "May 12, 1992 Layout Plan" prepared by Chandler, Palmer &
King with the following proposed setbacks:
(a) from the most northeasterly setback to the
property line at 10.2 feet and 11+- ft. to the arc along the
easterly side property line;
(b) the setback from the southerly front property
line will not be changed -- being not less than six (6') feet;
(c) the setback from the southeasterly most corner of
the tennis court enclosure scales out to be at not less than 20
feet.
4. HEIGHT: No change is proposed for the tennis court
fence height of ten (10') feet from tennis court base at grade.
5. BASIS OF REQUEST: The testimony received under the
previous application appears emphasized the need for preserving
two large cherry trees at the expense of extensive regrading and
excavating that would have been necessary to locate the court in
that particular location. The newly proposed location would
require a substantial reduction in the amount of land excavation
(now at 140 yards). {See testimony to support the amended
application from Oliver Cope (Architect)}.
6. In checking with the N.Y.S. Department of Environmental
Conservation, it was confirmed that a plan to reduce the amount
of land excavation is encouraged even though the setback to the
wetlands for a surface tennis court is closer. (More
disturbance would be created to the land areas by excavation
than by a surface tennis court at grade with fencing.)
7. In considering this appeal, it has been found that:
(a) the circumstances are uniquely related to the
land and are not personal in nature to the landowner;
Page 18_ Appl. No. 4111
Decision Rendered June 4, 1992
Matter of JOHN AND ELENA BRIM
(b) the relief is the minimal necessary under the
circumstances;
(c) the relief as granted will not alter the
essential character of the neighborhood since there will be no
substantial physical disturbance to land areas surrounding the
tennis court for buildings in the future due to the land
contours and location of the wetland area;
(d) the relief requested will not, in turn, be
adverse to the safety, health, welfare, comfort, convenience, or
order of the town, or be adverse to neighboring properties since
the nearest neighboring residence is more than 500 feet distant;
(e) the relief requested does not involve an increase
of dwelling unit density and therefore will not cause an effect
on available governmental facilities;
(f) the property is unique in that there is limited
"rear" yard area as defined in our zoning code due to the
character of this waterfront community and the layout of the
land and principal building;
(g)before any activities are commenced, all other
agency approvals must be issued in writing and made a part of
the town permit records including an amended application to
the Town Trustees and the N.Y.S. Department of Environmental
Conservation, with which reviews are being or have been
finalized;
(h) the project will comply with the front yard
limitation in the previous determination (under Appl. No. 4097
rendered May 7, 1992) and is to be at least 100 feet from the
top of the sound bluff as required by Section 100-239.4 of the
Zoning Code.
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Doyen, seconded by
Mr. Grigonis, it was
RESOLVED, to GRANT permission in the Matter of the
Application of JOHN G. AND MARIA ELENA A. BRIM to locate a 60
ft. by 120 ft. tennis court with 10 ft. high fence around its
perimeter as shown on the layout plan as amended May 12, 1992,
prepared by Chandler, Palmer & King, L.S. and SUBJECT TO THE
FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
1. That there be no lighting which would be adverse to
neighboring properties or traffic;
P~ge 19_ Appl. No. 4111
Decision Rendered June 4, 1992
Matter of JOHN AND ELENA BRIM
2. That screening to the edge of the easterly driveway
area be planted and maintained along the easterly section of the
proposed tennis court fence for a minimum height of six feet.
Such screening shall be ivy or similar vines, or evergreens 6 to
8 ft. apart. (Alternative screening may be substituted by the
ZBA Chairman, when requested in writing).
3. That screening along the southerly yard area (front
yard and southeasterly corner) adjacent to the tennis court be
planted and maintained for a minimum height of five to six
feet. Such screening shall be staggered evergreens (or similar
plantings as may be approved by the ZBA Chairman, when requested
in writing).
4. That the setbacks from the easterly property line shall
not be less than 10.2 feet (as shown on the initial site plan)
and not less than 29 feet to the nearest wetland edge {flagged
by the DEC}.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Goehringer, Doyen,
Grigonis, Dinizio, and Villa. This resolution was duly adopted.

adjacent properties or of properties in adjacent use
districts; (2) this accessory use will not adversely affect
the safety, health, welfare, comfort, convenience, or order of
the Town; (3) the use is compatible with its surroundings and
with the character of the neighborhood and of the community in

overall appearance; and (4) that the subject building is
readily accessible for fire and police protection having direct
access along a major highway and a major town road.

Regular Meeting and Hearings
Southold Town Board of Appeals
UPDATE: CELLULAR TELEPHONE (METRO ONE). Article 78
determination. The Board Members indicated that their previous
request to have this determination appealed has not changed and
has been confirmed with the Town Attorney.
Motion was made by Chairman Goehringer, seconded by Member
Grigonis, to send a further request to the Town Attorney for an
update on this pending appeal; and if not already perfected,
that steps be taken to perfect an appeal (by court motion or as
otherwise may be necessary). Vote of the Board: Ayes:
Messrs. Doyen, Grigonis, Villa and Goehringer. (Member Dinizio
abstained from vote.) This resolution was duly adopted. It
was further noted that this matter is not authorized at this
time to be advertised for a final public hearing and
determination until consent has been obtained from the Legal
Department of the Town (Town Attorney).
UPDATE: ANTONIO VANGI (see earlier hearing of tonight).
The Secretary asked whether the Board preferred to require that
the Town readvertise the hearing notice at this point in time
for the June 30, 1992 calendar (to emphasize the need for a
front yard setback reduction). The Chairman and Board Members
indicated that a readvertisement for the front yard setback was
not necessary under the circumstances.
CORRESPONDENCE: William and Richard GOODALE. A letter was
received from J. Kevin McLaughlin, attorney for the Goodale's
concerning what appears to be a request to reduce filing fees or
a waiver of future fees charged for the filing of new
applications (premises at N/s Main Road, Mattituck). The last
filing fee paid to the Town Clerk was $500.00 (combined fee) for
both a Special Exception application and a lot area variance
application. The application was denied for the Special
Exception for lack of adequate proof, etc. as noted in the
Board's decision. Alternative relief was granted for the
variance. The applicant will decide whether to return for
future applications (which may involve other considerations
under the site plan buffer regulations not previously addressed
by the ZBA, and which would be filed at the choice of the
applicant). A Special Exception filing fee is $300.00. The
one time fee has been $500.00 for a one-time submission for
multiple requests. The minimum application fee is $300.00 for
other variance relief. (See code provisions for fees.)

Regular Meeting and Hearings
Southold Town Board of Appeals
BRIEF DISCUSSION: Agenda Item of May 7, 1992 with drafted
letter. Member Villa indicated that, after speaking with one
or more Planning Board Members, he has an objection for retail
sales at premises located at the corner of Elijah's Lane and the
N/s Main Road, Cutchogue. The letter was sent on May 8, 1992.
At this late point in time, it was determined that it would not
be appropriate to withdraw the May 7, 1992 letter. However, it
would not be improper for member(s) of the Planning Board to
address the Building Inspector before proceeding to determine
whether or not there is a need for a use variance or other
consideration at this time. The applicant is proposing to
change the use from assembly of auto parts, etc. to sales of
auto parts (with or without assembly services).
It has been found that Planning Board staff persons have
been referring persons to the ZBA rather than the Building
Inspector. (The correct procedure is for the applicant to make
an application to the Building Department or make inquiries
through the Building Inspector.) The applicant would then be
able to receive a Notice of Disapproval and make a complete
application to the appropriate departments.
Other sample situations are: Wine Festival in an R-80 zone
verses accessory gazebo project; nautical gift shop in an LIO
Zone in Greenport; and other inquiries. Attempts will be made
by the ZBA staff to instruct the Planning Board staff and others
persons to follow the normal appeal procedure.
There being no other business properly coming before the
Board at this time, the Chairman declared the meeting adjourned.
The meeting adjourned at 11:00 p.m.
