1 . By this application , appellant requests a variance from
the requirements of Article XI , Section 100-119 . 1 (a) for approval of
a six-foot high chainlink fence , with redwood slats through the links ,

Southold Town Board of Appeals -14- August 8 , 1985 Regular Meeting
(Appeal No . 3374 - SOUTHLAND CORP . , continued : )
find that the height of the subject fence enclosure is necessary for
storage of garbage' in portable garbage containers , provided that the
fence enclosure not be roofed , that the contents to be stored not exceed
the height of the fence at six feet , and there be no storage of flam-
mable or combustible materials .
In considering this appeal , the board has found that this
proposal should be granted as conditionally noted below since :

properties ; (2 ) there will be no substantial change in the
character of this district ; (3 ) the relief requested will not
cause a substantial effect of any increased population density ;
(4 ) the circumstances are unique ; . (5) the difficulty cannot

The public hearing on this matter was held and concluded on
July 18 , 1985 . Following deliberations , the board took the follow-
ing action :
Southold Town Board of Appeals -15- August 8 , 1985 Regular Meeting
(Appeal No . 3376 - JOHN F. MARTIN , continued : )
WHEREAS , a public hearing was held and concluded on July 18 , 1985 ,
in the Matter of the Application of JOHN F . MARTIN , Appeal No . 3376 ; and
WHEREAS , the board members have considered all testimony and
documentation entered into the record in this matter , and it is noted
that there has been no opposition entered concerning this appeal appli -
cation ; and
WHEREAS , the board members are personally familiar with the
premises in question and the surrounding propert.ies ;.._ and
WHEREAS , the board made the following findings of fact :
1 . By this application , appellant requests a variance from
the height requirements of Article III , Section 100-32 , for permission
to erect a 71 - foot high radio tower and 10 ' high antenna , for a total
height of 81 feet for private , amateur use .
2 . The radio antenna-tower is proposed to be located in the
rearyard area approximately 100 feet from the rear property line and
approximately 85 fee.t from the southerly side property line and 65
feet from the northerly side property line , and a distance of approxi -
mately 20 feet west of the existing driveway area .
3 . The parcel in question is improved with a one-family dwelling
with breezeway and attached garage , and is identified on the. Suffolk
County Tax Maps as District 1000 , Section 64 , Block 05 , Lot 19 . The
parcel has an area of approximately . 75 of an acre , and has an
average width of 150 feet.
4. Although the board members agree that there is no alter-
native for the appellant to pursue other than a variance , it is one
of the concerns of the board that the antenna-tower be placed in such
a position that it would not be able to fall onto neighboring property
or causing other detriment to adjacent properties .
5. It is the position of the board that the variance be
