Southold Town Board of Appeals -12- February 6 , 1986 Regular Meeting
PENDING DECISION : Appeal No . 3382 :
Application of MATTITUCK HARBOR ASSOCIATES and BAY VIEW VENTURES
(a/k/a HARBOR VIEW) , for a Variance to the Zoning Ordinance , Article
III , Section 100-31 , Bulk Schedule , for approval of insufficient upland
area of four lots in this pending major subdivision located at the
South Side of New Suffolk Avenue , ( 110±1 . f. east of Deep Hole Drive ) ,
Mattituck , NY ; Suffolk County Tax Map District 1000 , Section 115 , Block
17 , Lot 17 .
Following deliberations , the board took the following action :
This is an Appeal wherein the Appellant requests a Variance
from the provisions of the Zoning Code as it relates to the deter-
mination of the area of a lot .
Appellant is the owner of a parcel of land on the south side of
New Suffolk Avenue at Mattituck , New York , lying east of Deep Hole
Drive . The parcel contains a total of 49 . 140 acres , more or less ,
and is identified on the Suffolk County Tax Maps as District 1000 ,
Section 115 , Block 17 , Lot 17 .
Appellant has filed an application with the Planning Board
of the Town of Southold for the approval of a subdivision of the
premises . All of the lots shown on the proposed subdivision map
exceed 40 ,000 sq . ft. in area which is the minimum required lot
size with respect to this subdivision . However , a portion of four
of the lots (13 , 22 , 31 and 32 ) consists of wetlands . The Planning
Board has required that the portion of each of said lots comprising
of wetlands be excluded in the determination of lot area- as a result
of which the four lots in question would have an area of less than
40 ,000 square feet .
The Appellant , in addition to his formal appeal , has submitted
a Brief in which two recent New York cases have been cited , to wit :
Bloom v . Town Board of the Town of Oyster Bay , 32 NY2d 930 , 347 NYS2d
197 1973 and Ashman v . Edwards , et al . AD 2d 923 (1982 ) as authority
for the proposition that a Planning Board has no authority to exclude
wetlands and other nonbuildable area in the determination of the lot
areas .
This Board has reviewed this matter with the Town Attorney ,
who has advised this Board that under the authority of the above
Southold Town Board of Appeals - 13- February 6 , 1986 Regular Meeting
(Appeal No . 3382 - MATTITUCK HARBOR ASSOCIATES decision , continued : )
cited cases , the wetlands must be included in determining the lot
area of each lot . This Board is in accord with the Town Attorney ' s
opinion , and accordingly , determines that in considering the lot area
of the four lots in question , the wetlands much be included in the
determination of such area .
Now , therefore , on motion by Mr . Grigonis , seconded by
Mr . Goehringer , it was
RESOLVED, the the wetlands area be included in the determination
of the lot area of the four lots in question as applied under Appeal
No . 3382 in the Matter of MATTITUCK HARBOR ASSOCIATES .
Vote of the Board : Ayes : Messrs . Goehringer , Grigonis , Doyen
and Sawicki . (Absent was : Robert J . Douglass ) . This resolution
was duly adopted .
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ACCESSORY-APARTMENT APPLICATIONS under
Article III , Section 00-30 B . The Board reviewe the drafted
instruction sheet and form application , and agreed to its contents .
The Secretary was authorized to order printing and release to
the public when requested .
REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION/REHEARING: Appeal No . 3400 .
DAMES AND MARY TYLER. The Board reviewed the request of Mr . Tyler
received February •6 , 1986 (dated January 29 , 1986 ) requesting
reconsideration of Condition No . 7 of the Board ' s decision for
the following reasons :
" . . . The very nature of my repair work constitutes the
handling of large trucks for repair. The alignment necessary
to maneuver these trucks necessitates an approach for servicing
through the front entrance as well as the rear of the building .
I have purposely placed the building back in excess of
185 feet so that the aesthetics of my.. neighbors are protected and
the character of the area is preserved .
I have enclosed information for your board to see the
results of the design proposed. I would be available to meet
with you or your board to discuss the matter more fully. . . . "

a deck at premises known as 75 Second Street , New Suffolk , NY ; Suffolk
County Tax Map District 1000 , Section 117 , Block 10 , Lot 20 . 7 .
Following deliberations, the board took the following action :
WHEREAS., a public - hearing -was held and concluded on January 9 , 1986 ,
in the Matter of 'FRANK 'E . AND 'MARY 'L . 'BROPHY under Appeal No . 3437 ; and
WHEREAS , the board has considered all testimony and documentation
entered into the record concerning this a.pplication-, including numerous
letters in opposition and three in favor of this application ; and
WHEREAS , the board members have personally viewed and are familiar
with the premises in question as well_ as its surrounding area ; and
WHEREAS , the board made the following findings of fact :
1 . The property in question is known and referred to as 75 Second
Street , New Suffolk ,_ Town_ of Southold, and is identified on the Suffolk
County Tax Maps as District 1000, Section 117 , Block 10 , Lot 20 . 7 .
2 . By letter dated November 26 , 1985 , a request is made for a
rescission of a previously issued variance under Appeal No . 2922
(rendered December 17 , 1981 ) .
3. The relief granted under Appeal No . 2922 was for the construc-
tion of a 10 ' by 12 ` deck addition with a setback of not less than
6 ' 6" from the front property line and approximately 10 ' 6 " setback from
the-southerly side prop-erty line .
4. The zoning code requirements during 1981 for the frontyard
setback of the addition was 142 feet , which was the existing structure ' s
setback at that time , and the sideyard setback requirement was 11 ' 6 " .
5 . For the record it is noted that the zoning code was amended
by Local Law #9-1983 , adopted August 9 , 1983 , permitting a minimum
sideyard setback at 10 feet . (The restriction as to the minimum
front yard' has not changed since the 1981 variance . )

7 . It is the opinion of the board that appellants ' request
to rescind the action which approved the construction of a 10 '
by 12 ' deck addition will reestablish the property ' s conformity
as to its front yard setback as existed previously at 142 feet .
