Street , Greenport, NY for a Variance to the Zoning Ordinance , Article
III , Section 100-31 , Bulk Schedule , for approval of a parcel having
insufficient area and lot width in this proposed set-off division of
land located at the South Side of Main Road , Orient , NY ; County Tax
Map Parcel No . 1000-19-01 -14 (14 . 1 ) .
Following deliberations , the board took the following action :
WHEREAS , a public hearing was held and concluded on June 27 , 1985 ,
in the Matter of the Application for HOWARD HOEY; and
WHEREAS, the board members have considered all testimony and
documentation entered into the record in this mat-ter , and it is noted
that nd`.bpp.oi si.ti,on': has been received ; and
WHEREAS , the board members are familiar with the property , its
use and the area in question ; and
WHEREAS , the board made the following findings of fact :
1 . By this application , applicant seeks approval of a parcel
of 43__,560 - sq . ft. from a 37± acre parcel ; located at the South Side
of .Main (State_) Road , Orient , New York , _identified on the Suffolk
County Tax Maps as District .1000 , Section 19, .Block 1 , Lot 1._4_. 1. (14) .
2 . Existing on the proposed parcel to be set-off is a single-
Southold Town Board of Appeals -11 - Juhyh18 , 1985 Regular Meeting
(Appeal No . 3365 - HOWARD HOEY , continued : )
family dwelling which is shown on survey map as amended April 1 , 1985 ,
to be back 10 feet , more or less , from its nearest point from
the easterly side property line , and 19 feet , more or less , from its
nearest point from the northerly (front) property line .
3. To be retained on parcel be of 37± acres is an existing
single-family dwelling se-t back 48± feet from its nearest point
from the northerly (front ) property line,, and located approximately
22 feet south of the subject dwell-.in_g is an accessory garage-
storage building .
4 . In viewing the character of .the neighborhood on the same
block, a majority _of the parcels consists of„ a size substantially
larger than that proposed_ by this application , and only one house
on this block within several hundred feet is similar , which abuts
the subject premises on the west side__, which was not the subject
of a variance and was approved by the Southold Town Planning Board
November 8 , 1982 , in compliance with the requirements of the bulk
schedule as to lot area , width and depth , and prior to the change
of zoning from 40 ,000 sq . ft. to 80 ,000 sq . ft.
In considering this appeal , the board finds that : (a ) this
proposal is not consistent with those generally existing on this
block as applied; (b ) the relief requested, is substantial in
relation t_o the zoning requirements , being approximately 46% of
a variance from the 80,.000'.sq . ft. requireme-
nt , and approximately
15% of ,a variance from the 175 ft., lo_t width requirement ; (c )
that by allowing the variance as applied , there will be a sub-
stantial change --.,in the character of the district _since it may
set a precedent; (d ) the practical difficulty claimed is not
.unique ; (e ) that in view o-f the manner in which-.,, the practical
diffi,c.ulty arose , there is another method feasible for the
applicant to pursue either without a variance -or with a minimal
variance ; M that the interests of .justice will be served by
denying the variance as applied.
Accordingly, on motion by Mr . Grigonis , seconded by
Mr. Goehringer„._ it was
RESOLVED , that the relief as requested under Appeal No . 3365
in the Matter of the Application for HOWARD HOEY be and hereby is
DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE .
Vote of the Board : Ayes : Messrs . Goehringer , Grigonis ,
Doyen , Douglass and Sawicki . This resolution was adopted by
unanimous vote of all the members .

to Z . B. A. decision rendered 5j22j75 under Appeal No . 2029 for a
proposed addition which will exceed the restricted lot coverage
for this "B-l " General Business zoned parcel located at the south
side of Main Road , Mattituck, NY; County Tax Map Parcel No . 1000-
122-3-5 .
Following deliberations , the board took the following action :
WHEREAS , a public hearing was held and concluded on June 13, 1985
in the Matter of the Application of THOMAS 'YASSO; and
WHEREAS , the board members have considered all testimony and
documentation entered into the record in this matter , including
testimony in opposition during the public hearing; and
WHEREAS , the board members are personally familiar with this
property , its surrounding business and residential uses , and the
hazardous traffic and parking situation in this area ; and
WHEREAS, the board made the following findings of ,fact:
1 . By this application , appellant requests permission to
construct _a 7 ' by 15,' addition to the present building for addi -
tional refrigerated storage space as- shown on the November 13 , .:
1984 application for a building permit .
2 . On December 3 , 1984 , the building inspector issued a
Notice of Disapproval for same on the grounds that same would
not be in conformity with the May 22 , _1975 conditions of Zoning
Board of Appeals decision under Appeal No . 2029 which limited
an addition to. a 64 ' by 30 ' size._
3 . The premises in question is located on the south side
of .the Main Road (State Route 25 ), directly south of .its intersec-
tion with Pacific Street.
4. This parcel contains an area of approximately .11 ,000
sq . ft. with frontage along the Main Road of_ 90 . 85 feet, with
reductions in. width to .26 . 80 feet along the rear (s_outh ) property
line .
5 . The subject parcel is improved with a one-story concrete

(Appeal No . 3359 - THOMAS YASSO, continued : )
1819" (d ) east side yard at 15 ' 8" .
6 . In personally visiting the premises , the board finds , a
very hazardous situation for trafficking in the front of this
property , as well as insufficient parking facilities , insufficient
egress and ingress , traffic congestion , inefficient and unsafe
circulation of vehicles and pedestrians .
In considering this application , the board finds that :
(a ) the relief requested is not in the interest of the protec-
tion and promotion of the public health , safety , welfare ;
( b ) the relief requested is substantial in relation to the
zoning and:_off-'street parking re�u.fr..ements ; (c ) by allowing
the variance , there will be an adverse affect on adja-
cent properties for their safe circulation of vehicles and pedes-.
trians since the applicant ' s available open area is being reduced ;
(d) the circumstances of applicant ' s difficulties are not unique ;
(e ) in view of the manner in which applicant ' s difficulties
arose , the interests of justice will be served by denying the
variance , as noted below.
Accordingly , on motion . by Mr. Douglass , seconded by
Mr . Sawicki , it was
RESOLVED , to deny the relief requested under Appeal No . 3359
in the Matter of the Application of THOMAS YASSO (Williston Beverage ) .
Vote of the Board : Ayes : Messrs . Goehringer , Grigonis ,
Doyen , Douglass and Sawicki . This resolution was adopted by

PENDING DECISION : Appeal No . 3356 :
Upon application of -GREGORY SIMONELLI , c/o Gary Flanner Olsen ,
Esq . , P . O . Box 706 , Cutchogue ; NY for a Variance to the Zoning
Ordinance , Article III , Section 100-..31 , Bulk Schedule , for approval
of insufficient lot area and lot_ width of two parcels in this
proposed three-lot subdivision located at the South Side of Grand
Avenue , Mattituck , NY ; County Tax Map Parcel No . 1000-107-02-04 .
Following deliberations , the board took the following action :
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held and concluded on June 27 ,
1985 , in the Matter of the Application for GREGORY SIMONELLI ; and
Southold Town Board of Appeals -21 - July 18 , 1985 Regular Meeting
(Appeal No . 335.6 GREGORY SIMONELLI , continued: )
WHEREAS , the board members have considered all testimony and
documentation entered into the record in this matter , including
the June 27 , 1985 appraisal report , and Exhibits I and II , submitted
during the public hearing in this matter ; and
WHEREAS , it is . noted for the record that opposition has been
received from residents in the area during the hearing in this
matter ; and
WHEREAS , the board members are familiar with the property
in question , its present use and building , and the surrounding area ;
and
WHEREAS , the board made the .following findings of fact :
1 . By this application , appellant seeks approval of the
insufficient area and insufficient lot width of : (a ) Lot 1 of
40 ,000 sq . ft . and 150 ft. , respectively , and (b ) Lot 2 of 34 ,835
sq . ft . and 128 . 86 ft . , respectively , [exclusive of proposed
right-of-way to Lot 3 which contains an area of 10 ,230± sq . ft. ] .
Lot #3 would contain an area of 82 ,637 sq . ft .
2 . Propos.ed Lot No . 1 is shown to be improved with one
single-family dwelling frame house and attached garage , set back
from the westerly side line 35 . 5 ft. at its nearest point and
22 ft . at its nearest point from the easterly (proposed-division )
line . Proposed Lots 2 and 3 are vacant .
3 . Of the eleven lots adjacent to the subject premises ,
only two are of a size smaller than that proposed by Lot No . 2 .
4. Although the board agrees that a majority of the lots
adjacent to the subject premises are of a size less than the
current zoning requirements of 80 ,000 sq . ft . in area , this
majority does consist of lots between 40 ,000 sq . ft. and 64 ,500±
sq . ft . in area , which is greater than that proposed by this
application .
In considering this appeal , the board finds that :
(a) this proposal as submitted is - not consistent with those
generally existing on this block ; (b) the relief requested
is substantial , being at least 45% of a variance from the
current requirement of lot area ; (c ) by allowing the
variance as applied , there will be a substantial change in
the character of the district for the reasons noted above ;
(d) the practical difficulty claimed is not sufficient to
Soythold Town Board of Appeals -22-July 18 , 1985 Regular Meeting
(Appeal No . 3356 - GREGORY SIMONELLI , continued : )
warrant a granting of the application as applied ; (e ) in
view of the manner in which the difficulties arose , the
interests of justice will be served by denying the application
as applied.
Accordingly , on motion by Mr . Douglass , seconded by
Mr . Sawicki , it was
RESOLVED, that the relief requested under Appeal No . 3356
in the Matter of the Application for 'GREGORY SIMONELL.I be and
hereby is DENIED .
Vote of the Board : Ayes : Messrs . Goehringer , Grigonis ,
Doyen , Douglass and Sawicki_. This resolution was adopted by

PENDING DECISION : Appeal No . 3375 :
Application of R. L . BERGEN CO . , INC . for a Variance to the Zoning
Ordinance , Article VI , Section 100-60 100-8O ( C) [2] for permission to
erect detached ground sign , the lower edge of which is proposed to be
less than four feet above ground . Premises zoned "C-Light" Indus-
trial and identified as 9275 Main Road , Mattituck, NY; County Tax
Map Parcel No . 1000-122-06-12 .
Following deliberations , the board took the following action :
WHEREAS , a public hearing was held and concluded on July 18 , 1985
in the Matter of the Application of ROBERT L . BERGEN OIL , INC . ;
WHEREAS , the board members have considered all testimony and
documentation entered into the record in this matter , and it is noted
for the record that no opposition has been entered by anyone ; and
WHEREAS , the board members are familiar with the property
in question , this and surrounding zoning districts ; and
WHEREAS , the board made the following findings of fact :
1 . By this application , appellant seeks permission to erect
a 6 ' by 2 ' on-premises ground sign for the purposes of advertisement
for the existing fuel -oil business on this parcel .
- 2 . The subject parcel contains an area of approximately 1 . 7
acres with 100± frontage (lot width ) along the north side of the
Southold Town Board of Appeals -23 July 18 , 1985 Regular Meeting
(Appeal No . 3375- R. L . BERGEN OIL CO . , INC . , continued : )
Main Road (State Route 25 ) , Mattituck .
3 . The premises in question and abutting parcels on the east
are zoned "C-Light" Industrial , and adjoining same on. the west are
premises zoned "A" Residential and Agricultural .
4 . The ground sign is proposed to be located five feet
from the town sidewalk area near the southerly property line and
approximately 24 feet from the easterly side property line marker.
5 . It is the board ' s opinion that the sign is minimal in
size and would certainly be more aesthetic and would not have a
commercial advertising effect in the design sketch submitted for
consideration .
In considering this appeal , the board finds that this
proposal : (1 ) will not substantially change the character of
this zoning district ; (2 ) will not be adverse to adjoining
properties ; (3 ) will not cause a substantial effect of increased
population density which may be produced on available governmental
facilities ; (4) in view of the character of the surrounding areas ,
the interests of justice will be served by allowing the variance ,
as noted below.
Accordingly , on motion by Mr . Sawicki , seconded by Mr . Doug-
lass and Mr. Goehringer , it was
RESOLVED , that the relief requested in the Matter of the
Application of R. L . BERGEN OIL , INC. for permission to erect a
6 ' by 2 ' on-premises advertising ground sign , BE AND HEREBY IS
GRANTED , SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITION :
That the bottom edge of the sign be not less than two feet
above ground level .
Vote of the Board: Ayes : Messrs . Goehringer , Douglass , Doyen ,
Grigonis and Sawicki . This resolution was adopted by unanimous vote
of all the members .
