THE CHAIRMAN; Is there anyone present who wishes to speak
for this application?
MR_ ALFRED GOLD SMITH, Southoldt New York; We have already
put the foundation up and I had no idea the 50 ft. setback from
the private road was required. I knew it was required to be 50
ft. from Bay View Road. We tried to center the garage with the
center of the back of the house.
THE CHAIRMANz There is no question about it being in the
rear yard area.
MR. GOLDSMITH: Mr. McConnell owns the property behind the
house also.
THE CHAIRMAN: There is a note in the file stating that the
property is 55 ft. on Bay View Road and 300 ft. on the private
road.
How private is that road?
MR. GOLDSMITH: There are roads that go down into that
neighborhood; There are about seven houses down the road.
They either use this private road or the other one that goes
down tat way.
THE CHAIRMAN: Where will the garage door be located?
MR. GOLDSMITH: Facing the house. He comes in off the
private road and then- makes a turn into the garage_
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone else present who wishes to
speak for this application?

Southold Town Board of Appeals -3- December 15, 1960
Resolution was offered by Mr. Bergen, seconded by Mr.
Rosenberg,, and carried, WHEREAS application of Goldsmith Bros- ,
a/c David McConnell, having been considered at Public Hearing
No. 334 on December 15, 1960, and the Board finding that strict
application of the Ordinance would produce undue hardship because
it would be impossible for applicant to maintain a 50 ft.. setback
which is required for a detached garage; because this is a corner
lot and the width of the lot is 55 ft. The hardship :created is
unique and would not be shared by all properties alike in the
immediate vicinity of this property and in the same use district
because this is the narrowest lot in the entire area and a corner
lot established prior to the enactment of the Zoning Ordinance.
The variance does observe the spirit of the Ordinance and would
not change the character of the district because the garage will
be located in the middle of the rear yard area of this 50 ft. lot,
therefore be it
RESOLVED thct- Goldsmith Bros., a/c David McConnell be granted
permission to locate private garage with reduced setback. The
Board is of the opinion this is the best location on the lot that
can be found for this garage.
Vote of the Board: Ayes:- Mr. Gillispie, Mr. Bergen, and
Mr_ Rosenberg.

The Chairman opened the hearing by reading notice of dis-
approval issued by the building inspector, application for a

.its publication in the official newspaper_
THE CHAIRMAN: There is another section of the Ordinance
which should be included in your application because you are
reducing frontage. Article X, Section 1000A must be included
to make your application legally correct. Article X, Section
1000A prevents anyone from dividing property and having the
remaining portion undersized. Does this have your approval,
Mr. Kammerer?
MR. KAMMERER; Yes, it is for our own benefit.
On motion of Mr. Gillispie, seconded by Mr. Rosenberg, and
.carried, it was
RESOLVED that the application No_ 33.6, Mattituck Docks and
Jean Fenmore, be amended to include Article X, Section 1000A.

Mr. Rosenberg.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak
for this application?
MR. KAMMERERz I wish to install a $12, 000 scale on the
property I am now leasing, as described in the application, and
Southold Town Board of Appeals -6- Decmeber 15, 1960
I do not want to install it on rented property or on a right-
of--way. The scale will be 50 ft. long. If we purchase this
30 ft, piece of property, Mr.. Fenmore will be left with 50 ft.
frontage on Naugles Drive. We are actually adding to the property
we formerly purchased from Fenmore in the rear of this parcel in
question. .
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone else present who wishes to
speak for this application?
(There was no response. )
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak
against this applicatioN
(There was no response. )
Resolution was offered by Mr, Bergen., seconded by Mr.
Rosenberg' and carried, WHEREAS application~ of Mattituck Docks,
Inc. , Rudolph Kammerer, Manager, and Jean Fenmore, having been
considered at Public Hearing No.. 336 on Decenb er 15, 1960, and
the Board finding that strict application of the Ordinance would
produce undue hardship because the only access available to this
property of several acres in the rear is by this 30 ft. right-of-
way presently owned by Mrs. .Fenmore and to deny the purchase of
this existing right-of-way would be an undue hardship. The
situation is unique and would not be shared by all properties
alike in the immediate vicinity of this property and in the
same use district because parcel in the rear owned by Mattituck
Docks, Inc. does not have access to Naugles Drive and this
variance would make a 30 ft. right-of-way possible, The variance
cbes observe the spirit of the Ordinance and would .not change the
character of the district because applicant has been renting this
property and wishes to purchase same -and erect a scale and use
the property as a rightOf--way to Naugles Drive, therefore be it
RESOLVED that Mattituck Docks, Inc. , and Jean Fenmore be
granted permission to reduce frontage on "C" Industrial District
property located on the north. side of Naugles Drive, Mattituck,
New York. The proposed purchase will not change the use of
the property. The property will be used substantially the same
way it has been in the past. The proposed scale will be located
50 ft. back from the front lot line.
Vote of the Board: Ayes:- Mr. Gillispie, Mr, Bergen, AND
