The'Chairman opened the hearing: by reading application for ..a special exception,-. legal -nQtice o.f hearing ;and :affidavit attesting to. its publication in the official. newspaper. THE, CHAIRMAN: I. might. call attention to the existing; build- ipg which we :.examined and photographed; It is well known the Board of Health each year. makes the requirements for -anybody- who is housing anyone else -a little tougher- and it. .has reached th-e point:where' this camp, as I 'understand it _from`the application, it would be cheaper' to replace the present .buil-ding with a -modern one of -the same use:and . dimensionp rather than spend ` More money, on the existing,bu, 1ding. The. part .of,: the ordinance which covers this application I_ will read to you. (The Chairman read Article X, ;' Section. 1007'e. ) These .requirements are permitted. tope varied by. the Board of.Appeals as a. special -exception ,and ,the regulations in con nection with granting .a special exception concerns the general welfare of -the Town. (The -Chairman read the points .the Board must determine before granting a spe cial `exception. ) The other part. of 'the Ordinance which .-concerns itself with labor'camps is, .Article X, Section .1003a. That,.means applicants .will have to meet all requirements of the existing multiple residence .law, also the .increasingly tough Board 'of Health,rules. (The Chairman 'rea.d Article X, .'Section 10.03a) This labor camp existed prior to. .the.. enactment of the- Ordinance .and the applicant wishes to upgrade it. Is there anyone present ,who wishes to speak for this . application? Southold Town Board of 'Appeals -4- May 25, 1961 MR. JOSEPH COLEMAN, Riverhead, New York: I am a member of the firm of . I. M. Young and Company. There is not- a great deal I can say other than what -.appears in the application. We propose to replace the existinglabor camp. which is there now -operating under permit of the Board of Health, having.been inspected after the first of- the year and a new permit granted. We want. a new modern up to- date concrete building, all sanitary facilities, which will more than meet the specifications as, required by the Board of'Health. The capacity of the camp will be 24 and that . is what the camp is designed for to meet the requirements. THE CHAIRMAN: Is that the present capacity of the camp? MR. COT,,EMAN: The present. capacity is greater than that. Due to the fact the -camp was there we can continue. Under the new plan we also have more space. We will spend approximately 111, 000. on the. building. We will have - every sanitary facility, central heating, concrete block construction, 4 in. partition.s between the rooms of concrete cr cinder blocks. THE -CHAIRMAN: What .are the dimensions of the building? MR. COLEMAN: 20 ft. by. 80 ft. 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? MR. JOSEPH -$. ZUHOSKI, Depot Lane, C utchogue, spoke in opposition, stating that he objected to the noise from juke box, Screaming, bad language and drunks. He stated he is not in opposition to I. M. Young buil-ding a barracks but felt they should build it somewhere else. MRS.. SOPHIE 'CYB.ULSKI, Depot Lane, Cutchogue, also spoke in opposition to the existence of the labor camp 'stating 'that when the men are working they are all right, but when they are not working. they should have someone to look after them. Also she objected to the noise from the camp. Southold. Town Board of Appeals -5- May 25, 1961. THE' CHAIRMAN: When was the original camp put- up? MR. COLEMAN:. About eight or nine years ago. THE..CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone else present who wishes to -speak .against this application? MR. JDSEPH GROHOSKI, .Depot Lane, Cutchogue, stated -that there is a labor camp not more than a mile away down Depot Lane and I. M. Young 'should move there. Mr.. Coleman s tated that that is a cooperative labor camp. THE:CHAIRMAN: I wish to make it clear that we ' cannot. abolish this labor -camp and the applicant is practically free to spend as much money as he wants to on the inside of the building. MR. COLEMAN: If we -can receive permission we are going. to raze the present building and build a new one. We feel we would be doing everyone a favor by tearing down the old one and putting up. one that. is by far,interiorly and exteriorly better looking and more appealing than the one that is there ,now. THE :CHAIRMAN: If you had a use before the ordinance was passed no Ordinance can take that away from you. MR. CYBULSKI: Why .ar.e they .asking for the permit? THE CHAIRMAN: Because they are not permitted to replace the present structure with. a new- structure costing more than 50/ of the fair value of the present structure, however they are permitted under the Ordinance to improve the non-conforming use. Mr. Coleman, what would it cost. to meet .the Board of Health requirements? MR. COLEMAN: At. the present time it has met -the Board -of Health .requirements and has a permit. We just want to put up a nice building to present better working conditions so that we may obtain abetter class of help. If you have .a fairly nice labor camp then you are in . a position to about pick the - crew you desire. THE'.CHAIRMAN: is there. anyone else present who wishes to speak in connection with this application? (There was no response.) THE CHAIRMAN: I hope you all understand that the Board of . Southold Town. Bo.ard of� Appeals -6- May 25, 1961 Appeals has no authority to order the discontinuance of an existing labor camp. This applicant has a right to improve the existing building. (Most of the people present felt the present .building should be..remodeled but wound not give their reasons why. ) THE.- CHAIRMAN: Is there anything else? (There was no response. ) This applicant requests permission to- rebuild an existing barracks. The Board is very familiar with this structure, it having."been constructed and in active use since 1952. The present building has. a Board of Health permit for 1961. In .order to provide better housing and facilities for the workers a modern building is proposed. This will be of concrete block or cement block construction with 4 .inch interior walls and far exceeding any present or forseeable future Board of Health regulations. The present building- has accomodations for 30 workers. The proposed building will accomodate 24. In consequence there is no enlargement and this Board looks with favor on -any reasonable up grading. of facilities for seasonal workers, particularly where the personnel are employed on the' premises. This is a potato grading station where the surrounding farms dispose of their crop.. This is not a new enterprise and the I. M. Young Company may improve the pr.osent facility not to exceed '50/ of its value. (Section 1007-e. ) The Board feels that it is far better for the welfare of the workers and of the surrounding farms that permission be granted to demolish the present structure and erect ,a modern building with full facilities. The Board finds that the public convenience and. welfare and justice will be served and the legally established or permitted use of thek neighborhood property will not .be sub- stantially or permanently injured and the spirit .of the ordinance will be observed, therefore on motion of Mr. Gillispie, .seconded by Mr. Grigonis, it was Southold Town Board of Appeals_ -7- May 25, 1961 RESOLVED that _ I„ M. Young Company., Osborne: Avenue, Riverhead, be granted '.permi'ssion to rebuild existing mn-conforming building located -on the east side Depot: Lane, Cutchogue. The size of this building .will be 20 ft. by 80 ft. and occupancy shall" be no greater than 24 persons. A' buil-ding permit for the construction of this building must. be obtained within one year ' from .date of this hear- ing, ,May 25, 1961. Vote of the. Board: Ayes:- Mr. Gillispie, Mr. Bergen, Mr. .Rosenberg, and Mr. Grigonis.
