NY; also referred to as Lot No. 1, Map of Vista Bluff filed on
March 15, 1968 as map No. 5060; County Tax Map Designation:

WHEREAS, Board Members have personally viewed and a~e
familiar with the premises in question, its present zoning, the
previous zoning determination rendered May 23, 1991 under Appl.
No. 3988; and

Application of ANTONIO VANGI
Decision Rendered June 30, 1992
4. The setbacks requested in this variance application are
13.8 feet from the easterly side yard for total sideyards at
30.8 feet, a front yard setback at 29 feet, and a distance of
not less than 80 feet to the top of the bluff (see sketch
submitted May 21, 1992 with cover letter from Abigail A.
Wickham, attorney for the applicants).
5. It is the board's majority opinion that this
application is not reasonable and agree with the reasoning of
the applicant, except that the side yard setback at not less
than 14 feet, and front yard setback at not less than 30 feet,
is the minimum necessary to afford the applicants relief.
6. In considering this application, the Board also finds
and determines: (a) the relief as granted will not in turn
increase the dwelling unit density; (b) the evidence
submitted and practical difficulties claimed are sufficient to
warrant a grant of this variance, as alternatively granted;
(c) there will be no substantial change in the character of the
immediate neighborhood or detriment to adjoining properties;
(d) the difficulties cannot be obviated reasonably with 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
variances requested and as conditionally noted below.
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Villa, seconded by
Mr. Grigonis, it was
RESOLVED, to GRANT ALTERNATIVE RELIEF with:
(a) a setback from the easterly side property line at not
less than fourteen (14) feet {instead of the requested 13.8
feet};
(b) ~ setback from the southerly front property line at
not less than 30 feet (instead of the requested 29 feet); and

Reasons Supporting This Determination:
(See 617.6(g) for requirements of this determination; see 617.6(h) for Conditioned Negative Declaration)
An Environmental Assessment Form (EAF) has b~en sut~itted and reviewed indicating
that no significant adverse .environmental effects will occur.
No building construction or site changes are proposed at this stage of the project
and the application pending before the Board of Appeals in this "use variance"
application is strictly for a detezTaination of a m~dification of use in this
M-II/R-80 Mixed Zone District classification. The land area which has been
designated for consideration in this proposed change or modification of use is
~pland area surrounding the existing adjacent cu~%~rcial buildings and has been
designated at 100 feet to mitigate any possible affects to wetland grasses or
drainage area. The sc?m~e footage of land to be affected by use or building
areas in this modification request is less than 60,000 sq. ft. The r~m3ining
26 acres will re~{n as open, scenic easement areas.
In the event a modification.of use is granted, all future land activity and proposed
construction (building, well syst~ns, parking, leeching basins and other site plan
considerations) will be subject to a fully detailed site plan and reviews by the
Southold Town Plug Board, who shall also consider any new .develo[xaents under
the SEQRA procedures pending at the time of the site plan application.
This project will be required to conform to all applicable laws, rules and regulations
pertaining to the use of this property, as well as obtaining approvals frcm the: (a)
Planning Board, (b) Town Trustees, (c) County Hem]th Department, (d) NYS Depart-
ment of Transportation concerning curb cuts, if appropriate.
If Conditioned Negative Declaration, provide on attachment the specific mitigation measures imposed. (

PENDING DELIBERATIONS/UPDATE:
Appl. No. 4110 - THOMAS E. COFFIN. 1000-35-4-5. The
Chairman asked the Board Members whether anyone had taken
bulkhead setbacks measurements for the two neighboring lots.
Since none was taken, Member Dinizio offered to do so and the
Chairman accepted. Deliberations are expected for the next
meeting of the Board.
UPDATE/PENDING DELIBERATIONS:
Appl. No. 3752 - VARUJAN ARSLANYAN. The Chairman and Board
Clerk indicated that Mr. Arslanyan has requested that he be
given an opportunity to be heard at an advertised public heraing
-- even though he has not finished with the Southold Town
Trustees under the Coastal Zone Management Law and its
prohibitions against building near the bluff. Mr. Arslanyan
feels that he has information to show possible vested rights
under the first building permit issued in 1989 for the pool and
the house. The Board agreed to conduct the first public hearing
as requested for the next Board meeting.

ACTION OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS
Appeal No. 4109:
Application of MARGARET LEAHY. Appeal of the April 27,
1992 Notice of Disapproval issued by the Building Inspector,
Article III-A, Section 100-30A.3 for permission to construct
deck addition to existing front porch with an insufficient front
yard setback. This parcel has a nonconforming lot area of
12,500 sq. ft. and is located in the R-40 Zone District.
Location of Property: 1185 Wiggins Lane, East Marion, NY;
Cleaves Point, Section Three, Lot No. 79, County Tax Map Parcel
No. 1000-35-5-8.
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on June 4, 1992
concerning the above application (filed on May 19, 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 property in question is situated along the
northerly side of Wiggins Lane, situate approximately 215 feet
west of its intersection with Maple Lane and more particularly
designated as Lot No. 79 on the Map of "cleaves Point, Section
III." The subject premises is also identified on the Suffolk
County Tax Maps as District 1000, Section 35, Block 5, Lot 8,
and contains a total lot area of 12,500 sq. ft.
2. This parcel is improved with a 984 sq. ft. one-story
frame house
new one and one-half-story frame dwelling which is set back:
(a) 17.6 ft. from the front property line along Fasbender
Avenue, (b) 10 feet from the northerly property line, and
(c) 17.5 feet from the westerly property line.
3. By this application, a variance is requested to permit
a walkway extension from the existing front wooden step area
Page 12 - Appl. No. 4109
Matter of MARGARET LEAHY
Decision Rendered June 30,
1992
area by an additional eight feet in depth, for a total length of
16 feet. The setback of the proposed extension would be 24
feet, eight feet closer than the front open porch.
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.
5. In considering this application, Board Members have
indicated that the eight ft. deep extension (for a total depth
of 14 feet) with a setback at 24 feet is not the minimum
necessary and an alternative is available under the
circumstances for a greater setback distance. The percentage of
relief requested in relation to the requirement of 35 feet is
32% of a variance. A setback reduction of this nature would set
a new conformity and precedent for the remaining parcels on this
block and such a reduction would substantially change the area
and intent of the zoning restrictions at 35 feet. The open
front porch as presently exists exceeds the requirements.
6. It is the opinion of the Board Members that a four-foot
extension, for a length of 16 feet, with a setback at not less
than 28 feet from the front property line is more feasible under
the circumstances.
e
finds:
In considering the alternative above noted, the Board
(a) that the essential character of the neighborhood
will not be affected;
(b) that the relief as alternatively 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 as alternatively 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 alternative relief is the
minimum necessary -- limited to an open, unroofed deck-type
walkway which is not unreasonable when considering the
nonconforming size and configuration of this parcel;
(e) in considering all of the above factors, the
interests of justice will be served by granting alternative
relief, as conditionally noted below°
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Goehringer, seconded by
Mr. Dinizio, it was
RESOLVED, to DENY the variance requested for a setback at
24 feet from the front property line; and BE IT
Page 13 - Appl. No. 4109
Matter of MARGARET LEAHY
Decision Rendered June 30,
1992
FURTHER RESOLVED, to GRANT alternative relief for an open
10' deep by 16' long open deck with a setback at not less than
28 feet from the front property line and conforming to all other
yard requirements.
VOTE OF THE BOARD: Ayes: Messrs. Goehringer, Doyen,
Grigonis, Dinizio. Nay: Member Villa (opposed to any variance
to reduce the front yard beyond the existing step area since
there are other alternatives for outdoor enjoyment, other than a
variance, such as a ground level brick patio, or to locate this
type of wooden deck construction in the side yard or rear yard
areas.) Margin: 4 - 1. This resolution was duly adopted.

ACTION OF THE BOARD
Appl. No. 4106.
Upon application of LAWRENCE P. AND MARILYN HIGGINS. A
Variance is requested under Article XXIII, Section 100-239.4 for
permission to expand deck by approximately 480 sq. ft., extending
the existing deck seaward approximately 13 feet, all of which
will be located within 75 feet of the existing bulkhead. This
parcel contains a lot area of approximately 19,200 sq. ft. and is
located in the R-40 Zone District. Location of Property: 830
Lupton Point Road, Mattituck, NY; County Tax Map Parcel No.
1000-115-11-16.
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on June 4, 1992, at
which time all those who desired to be heard were heard and their
testimony recorded;
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 (R~40)
zoning, and the surrounding areas; and
WHEREAS, the Board made the following findings of fact:
1. By this application, appellants seek a variance under
Article XXIII, Section 100-239.4B for approval of a raised, open
deck addition/extension at the rear (southerly end) of the
existing deck area, all as shown on the May 7, 1992 survey
prepared by Roderick VanTuyl, P.C. and as constructed without
permits in the latter part of May 1992. The setback requested
when using the scale shown on the survey map is 37 feet at its
closest point to the bulkhead.
2. The premises in question is identified on the Suffolk
County Tax Maps as District 1000, Section 115, Block 11, Lot 16
and contains a total lot area of 19,550+- sq. ft.
3. The dwelling as exists presently has the following
nonconformities: (a) sideyards at 4' at the easterly side, and
total sideyards at 22+- feet; (b) a reduced setback from the
Page 15 - Appl. No. 4106
Matter of LAWRENCE P. HIGGINS
Decision Rendered June 30, 1992
bulkhead at approximately 45 feet to the previously existing
deck. The original deck was the subject of a prior variance
under Appeal No. 3397 rendered October 24, 1985.
4. Article XXIII, Section 100-239.4B of the Zoning Code
requires all buildings and structures located on lots upon which
a bulkhead, concrete wall, rip-rap or similar structure exists
and which is adjacent to tidal water bodies other than the Long
Island Sound to be set back not less than seventy-five (75) feet
from the bulkhead.
5. In considering this application, Board Members find:
(a) the relief requested is not substantial in
relation to the existing established nonconforming setbacks in
the area of this shoreline;
(b) the construction is for an open deck addition
without a foundation or basement and without a screened or
permanent-type enclosure - this type of construction is not major
and will not affect the stability of the soils seaward of the
house;
(c) the relief requested will not alter the essential
character of the neighborhood - the topography of parcels in the
immediate area have significant differences in topography, shape
and character in relation to the creek shorelines;
(d) the practical difficulties are uniquely related to
the property and are not personal to the landowner;
(e) the grant of the relief as requested will not in
turn be adverse to the safety, health, welfare, comfort,
convenience or order of the town, or be adverse to the
neighboring properties;
(f) in view of all the above,
will be served by granting the relief as
conditionally noted below.

requested and
justice
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Goehringer, seconded by
Mr. Dinizio, it was

ACTION OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS
Appl. No. 4113.
Upon Application of REYNOLD BLUM (PECONIC BAY VINEYARDS,
INC.) Request to remove Condition No. 1 under Special Exception
No. 3346 rendered May 23, L985 which reads "No sleeping or
living quarters." A conversion is proposed on the second floor
of the winery structure from office use to a residence in this
· Residential-Office (RO) Zone District. The previous zoning of
this property was "A-80 Residential and Agricultural." Location
of Property: 31320 Main Road, Cutchogue, NY; also referred to
as Parcel #1 approved by the Planning Board 6/2/80; County Tax
Map Parcel Designation 1000-103-01-part of 19.11.
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on June 30, 1992, at
which time all those who desired to be heard were heard and
their.testimony recorded (see separate verbatim transcript of
hearing); 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, applicant requests removal of a
condition imposed by the Board of Appeals on May 23, 1985 under
the Special Exception permit issued for the establishment of a
winery at the subject premises.
2. The premises in question i~ known and referred to as
Lot #1 of the Subdivision approved by the Southold Town Planning
Board on June 2, 1980, having a total area of 24.249 acres with
frontage of 357.23 feet along the southerly side of the Main
Road (Route 25) and 198.62 feet along the easterly side of
Stillwater Avenue. This parcel is shown on the Suffolk County
Tax Maps as District 1000, Section 102, Block 01, Lot 19.11.
Page 2~ Appl. No. 4113
Application of REYNOLD BLUM
Decision Rendered June 30, 1992
3. The subject premises is improved with a two-story winery
structure presently set back at 165+- feet from the front
property line (along the Main Road), and its principal use is
winery as established under Special Exception permit #3346
approved May 23, 1985. The site plan for the winery was
endorsed by the Planning Board Chairman on September 6, 1985,
and that maps shows the land area to be 2.90 acres.
4. The land upon which this winery is located and upon
which the second-floor, single-family dwelling unit is to be
established is located in the Residential-Office (no) Zone
District. The RO Zone requires a minimum land area of 40,000
sq. ft. each for single-family dwelling use and 40,000 sq. ft.
of land area for non-residential use (ref. Bulk Schedules).
There is no question that the total land area for the combined
winery and single-residential unit meets the minimum lot area
requirements for this newly established RO Zone. (Prior to
January 10, 1989, the land was located in the "A-80" Residential
Zone District, minimum land area of 80,000 sq. ft. per principal
use.).
5. Specifically, for the record, Condition No. 1 of the
Special Exception rendered May 23, 1985 states:
"...No sleeping or living quarters in the winery
structure or accessory buildings (except that one separate
one-family dwelling may be permitted in compliance with all
codes) .... "
6. In this area variance, the Board has Considered the
following:
(a) the character of the neighborhood will not be
undesirably changed by the grant of this variance to remove this
condition;
(b) the parcel is ample for a winery use in
conjunction with a residential unit without the necessity of
substantial physical changes to the parcel or site plan layout;
(c) there is no viable alternative for appellants to
pursue, other than a variance;
(d) the practical difficulties claimed are uniquely
related to the property and have not been self-created by the
owner;
(e) the amount of relief requested is minimal under
the circumstances;
Page 21- A~D1. No. 4113
Application of REYNOLD BLUM
Decision Rendered June 30, 1992
(e) there will be no substantial increase in
population density or increased burden on public facilities by
the grant of the relief requested;
(f) the interests of the landowner is not outweighed
when compared to the interests of the public welfare; the
interests of justice will be served by the grant of the relief
requested.
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Goehringer, seconded by
Mr. Dinizio, it was
RESOLVED, to GRANT a variance to remove Condition No. 1
under Special Exception permit No. 3346 issued May 23, 1985, as
requested for the establishment of a single-family dwelling unit
in conjunction with principal winery use.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Grigoni$, Doyen,
Dinizio, Villa and Goehringer. This resolution was duly adopted.

~d~wI~' 6~ ~E BOARD OF APPEALS
Appl. No. 4100.
Upon Application of THOMAS J. MCCARTHY (Contract Vendee).
Current Owners: Frank Majeski and others.
This is an appeal for a Variance to the Zoning Ordinance,
Article III-A, Section 100-30A.3 for approval of insufficient
lot area, width and depth of parcels proposed in this four-lot
minor subdivision, each with a preexisting dwelling.
Location of Property: 1270 Fourth Street and 305 King Street,
New Suffolk, NY; County Tax Map Parcel No. 1000-117-7-8.
WHEREAS, public hearings were held on May 7, 1992 and June
30, 1992, at which time the applicant and 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 R-40
residential zoning, and the surrounding residential area; and
WHEREAS, the Board made the following Findings of Fact:
1. This is an application for variances under the Southold
Town Zoning ordinance, Article IIIA, Section 100-30A.3 and Bulk
Schedule as applies to the R-40 Low-Density Residential Zoning
District.
2. The subject premises consists of a total lot area of
18,303.66 sq. ft. and is a corner lot as defined by Section
100-13 of the zoning code, with 84.98 ft. frontage along the
north side of King Street and 109.80 ft. along the east side of
Fourth Street, near the Hamlet of New Suffolk, Town of
Southold.
3. The following historical information and facts
concerning the buildings and land are noted for the record:
P~ge23 - Appl. No. 4100
Application of THOMAS J. McCARTHY
Decision Rendered June 30, 1992
(a) Section 100-32A, Bulk and Area Schedule
R-40 Zone District, provides for a minimum lot area of
sq. ft. per dwelling and 150 ft. lot width (frontage);
of this
40,000
(b) according to town assessment and building
department records, the premises has preexisted the enactment of
zoning (April 1957) with four separate dwelling structures.
Specific information concerning the sizes, location and setbacks
of the dwellings has been furnished on the survey prepared by
Joseph A. Ingegno dated February 28, 1992, further noted below:
(1)
House #305 - 837 sq. ft.; one-story height;
full kitchen/housekeeping unit with permanent
heating unit for yearround occupancy;
(2)
House #1270 - 900+ sq. ft. at ground floor;
building is at two-story height;
full kitchen/housekeeping with heat for
yearround occupancy;
(3)
Cottage at the northeast section of the
premises - 504 sq. ft. (14 x 36), exclusive
of 270 sq. ft. of attached garage and
attached shed;
(4)
Cottage at the southeast section of the
premises - 384 sq. ft. (12 x 32) exclusive of
enclosed 68 sq. ft. front porch; one-story
height; front yard setback at 9.5 feet;
without a heating system per building
inspection report of August 28, 1990.
(c) the survey p~epared February 28, 1992 by
Joseph A. Ingegno shows separate cesspool systems for each
dwelling structure as well as four separate well locations
(approximate locations).
(d) Certificate of Occupancy #Z-19433 for Preexisting
Use and Buildings dated October 10, 1990 from the Town Building
Inspector has been furnished for the record.
4. The relief sought by this application are variances for
approval of Map/Plan 1, 2 or 3 (slightly different from each
other). Plan 2 was chosen as the reference map. The details
shown on Plan 2 are as follows:
(a) Lot No. 1 - proposed total lot area of 4,113 sq.
ft. located at the most southwest corner of the premises
{containing House #305};
P~ge24 - Appi. No. 4100
Application of THOMAS J. McCARTHY
Decision Rendered June 30, 1992
(b) Lot No. 2 - proposed total lot area of 5,239 sq.
ft. located at the northwest corner of the premises {containing
House #1270};
(c) Lot No. 3 - proposed total area of 5,700.86 sq.
ft. located at the northeast corner of the premises {containing
a cottage with nonconforming livable floor area;
(d) Lot No. 4 - proposed total area of 3,250.77 sq.
ft. located at the southeast corner of the premises;
(e) proposed lot width {frontage} of 62.36 feet along
Fourth Street of proposed Lot No. 1;
(f) proposed lot width of 47.44 feet along Fourth
Street of proposed Lot No. 2, Plan 2.
(g) proposed lot width of 15.00 feet along King
Street for proposed Lot No. 3 {shown as a flag lot};
(h) proposed lot width of 50.02 feet along King
Street for proposed Lot No. 4.
5. The Board members have considered the standards set
forth for "area variances" and find as follows:
(a) UNIQUENESS - the applicant has established unique
physicial conditions peculiar to and inherent in the subject lot
compared to lots in the neighborhood. All remaining seven lots
within this same residential block consist of land sizes ranging
from 2850 sq. ft. to 7592 sq. ft. {i.e., parcels identified on
the County Map as Lots 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12}. Each footprint
of building area on these t~acts range from 654 sq. ft. to 1642
sq. ft. The character of the area will clearly not be
undesirably changed by the granting of this alternative
variance.
(b) PRACTICAL DIFFICULTIES the applicant has shown that
he would not be able to reasonably use, or aesthetically
improve the subject buildings under the zoning restrictions
without many variances. Virtually, any attempt to make
substantial aesthetic improvements to buildings, as exist, would
come into conflict with the bulk schedule and provisions of the
zoning ordinance as it relates to one nonconforming lot with
multiple dwelling use nonconformities. The dwelling uses are
allowed in this R-40 zone district, whether it be by a legal,
preexisting nature, or by placement of lot lines for separate
ownership. The Board Members are not concerned with ownership
of the houses -- however, it should be noted that conveyance of
at least three of the existing houses for single and separate
ownership on three separate lots would not be a disadvantage
P~ge 25- Appi. No. 4100
Application of THOMAS J. McCARTHY
Decision Rendered June 30, 1992
under these circumstances, and would provide opportunities for
affordable homes to three single families in the Town.
(c) VALID PUBLIC PURPOSE - While it is true the percentage
of relief in relation to the zoning requirements is substantial,
the percentage of relief in relation to the existing
nonconformities is not. Strict application of the zoning
ordinance will not, in the Board's opinion, outweigh injury to
the applicant and justice will be served by allowing a variance,
for alternative relief and the minimum necessary to relieve the
hardship.
(d) OTHER FACTORS - The difficulty alleged was not
self-created and the difficulty claimed may not be avoided by
means other than a variance. 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
alternative relief, as conditionally noted below, and will at'
the same time preserve and protect the character of the
neighborhood and the health, safety and welfare of the community.
(e) DENIAL OF FOURTH SUBSTANDARD LOT - It is the position
of the Board that the fourth unit is ~converted garage," more or
less. The building is more of a garage type structure than a
dwelling when viewing the structural parts and utility system.
Permanent heat is questionnable. According to the inspection
report of the building department, the building contains no
heating system. The entire building is not more than 384 sq.
ft., which is probably nothing more than a bathroom and living
room. The "converted garage" is less than half the size
requirements of the zoning code (850 sq. ft. minimum is required
for dwelling occupancy}. Should this building be attempted to
be brought into conformity with other state fire and
construction codes, as well as the zoning size requirements,
congestion would be created. The property will, in effect,
be over-utilized with a fourth lot and the immediate
neighborhood would be adversely affected.
(f) NO PRECEDENT - it is the position of the Board that an
alternative lot line layout for a maximum of three, instead of
four lots as requested, would be more reasonable. A three-lot
layout would not set a precedent since the lots would be of a
size and shape similar to those generally existing in this
immediate neighborhood. The applicant has been advised by
Member Villa that the County Health Department may require a
relocation of the cesspool and well systems in this subdivision
project. The Town has no control over the rules and regulations
of the Suffolk County Health Department.
Accordingly, on motion by Mr. Goehringer, seconded by
Mr. Dinizio, it was
P~ge 26- Appl. No. 4100
Application of THOMAS J. McCARTHY
Decision Rendered June 30, 1992
RESOLVED, to DENY the relief as requested for four
substandard lots as shown on Survey Plans 1, 2 and 3, prepared
by Joseph A. Ingegno dated February 28, 1992, and BE IT FURTHER
RESOLVED, to GRANT alternative relief approving a reduced
lot area, width and depth, for THREE PARCELS, SUBJECT TO THE
FOLLOWING CONDITIONS AND NOTED AS FOLLOWS:

Plan ~2) - the southerly front property line commencing from the
easterly line of Fourth Street shall be extended to the east 20
feet (84.98 + 15.00 + 5.0 feet) for a total length of 105 feet;
the northerly property line shall also be extended, on an
angle; this would permit an increase of between 900 and 700+-
sq. ft. over the requested 4113.01 sq. ft., more or less;
2. Parcel Two, House #1270 (Proposed Lot #2 as shown on
Plan ~2) - the southerly side property line of this proposed
lot, commencng from the easterly line of Fourth Street shall be
extended to the east by an additional 3+- feet for a total
length of 103+- feet (instead of 100.27 feet on a tie line); the
lot area would be approximately 5,340 sq. ft.;
3. Parcel Three (combined old proposed Lots #3 and a
portion of #4) - the lot width along King Street} shall be 45+-
feet; the width at the rear of the premises 50.02 feet as
shown; the lot depth 145+- feet; total lot area 6,975+- sq. ft.
4. The north-south lot division line separating Lot 3,
from Lots 2 & 1, shall start at a point along King Street 45
feet from the most southeast concrete monument shown on the
survey map and shall extend in a northerly direction
approximately 110 feet to intersect with the nearest property
line at the northerly perimeter of the property {see 90-degree
corner angle opposite the "concrete slab" shown on Plan B
attached for reference use, if needed}.
5. A final map shall be prepared by the applicant for
filing and acceptance with this Department.
6. Applications will be filed, processed and finalized
with all other appropriate agencies of the Town and County
before separating proposed Lots #1, #2, and #3.
7. Only one single-family dwelling use shall be permitted
for each of the three lots. Therefore, it will be necessary and
a requirement of this determination is the front building on
the proposed alternative Lot #3 which consists of approximately
384 sq. ft. (depth 32.3 feet and variable width 11.3 to 12.3
feet) shall be removed. Compliance with this condition must be
confirmed within six (6) months after final approval of all Town
