ing to its publication in the official newspaper and notice to

MRS. EMILIE HAUNSTETTER, Mattituck: I have a letter of
permission from Mr. C. Hurdel who owns the property where I
wish to place the sign.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak
for this application?

year but the sign had to be removed because a building was put
up on the property.
THE CHAIRMAN: How far from the main road is the motel?
MR. BERGEN: It is about three-quarters of a mile.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak
against this application?
(There was no response. )
After investigation and inspecticn the Board finds that
the applicant has a motel located approximately three-quarters
of a mile from the Main Road (Route 25) on Bay Avenue, Mattituck.
In order to indicate the location of this motel it is important
that a directional sign be placed at this location on the corner
of Main Road (Route 25) and Bay Avenue.
The Board finds that the public convenience and welfare and
justice will be served and the legally established c' permitted
. use of neighborhood property and adjoining use districts will not
be permanently or substantially injured and the spirit of the
Ordinance will be observed.
On motion of Mr. Gillispie, seconded by Mr. Bergen, it was
RESOLVED that- Emilie Haunstetter be granted permission to
erect and maintain a directional sign on the property of Q.
Caldwell Hurdel, southeasterly corner of Main Road and Bay
Avenue, Mattituck, New York. The sign size is to be 4 ft. by
6 ft. with the words "Mattituck Motel, Turn Here" and an arrow

PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal No. :557, - 7:45 P.M. '(E.S.T. ) , ,.upon
application' of,James Gallo,;.Pine Tree Road, - Cutchogue, New 'York
- for- a variance in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance, .Article
ISI, Section 300,- Subdivision 7, for permission to erect a private
detached garage in the front yard area approximately 100 feet
from the .front property line. Location of, property: : east side
Pine Tree road, Cutchogue, New York, Lot.No. 10 and Sz of 11 on

Tree Road. Fee paid ,$5.'00.
The,'Chairman opened the hearing. by reading application
for a, variance, .legal notice of' hearing, affidavit attesting
to its publication in the official newspaper and notice to the
applicant.
THE- CHAIRMAN: Is there' anyone present who wishes to speak
for this application
MR.. WILLIAM BEEBE,'. Cutchogue: Like it is stated in the
application, these lots have water front which is considered
the back yard and the reason why we ,are placing it-,here is because
we do not" want it in back of the ,house on the water. side. There .
is only 20 ft on the south side of the house an,d 30 ft. on the
north side.
THE CHAIRMAN Will you. confirm the pictures of: the property
we have 1n the file?
MR. BEEBE: . Yest those are of the property:
Southold Town Board of Appeals -4- April 25, 1963
(The Board discussed with .Mr. Beebe .the location of the
proposed garage. The original application indicated a garage,
19 ft. by 24 .ft. and 3 feet from the northerly property line.
When Mr. Beebe remeasured he' found that , the garage.would now be
20 ft.- by 25 ft.. and the ' closest point- of the garage would be
5 feet from the northerly property line, there being 30 feet
between the northerly corner' of the house and the northerly
property line. . The Board questioned as to whether the location
of: the garage would block .the rear' yard of the adjoining neighbor
btt it- was determined the lots run on an angle and it would not
affect the neighbor and. there are several other garages along
this street that . are similarly located. )
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes. to .speak
- against this application?
(There was no response. ) „
After investigation and inspection the Board finds that the
applicant. desires to build a private detached garage 25 ft., by
20 ft. approximately".162 ft. from the front property line on his
property. on the east- side- Pine Tree Road, Cutchogue. This is a
water front lot with the house located approX�imately .187 ft. from
the front property line. Most of the , houses on this side of the
street are located near the ,water and the Board feels that the
proposed, location of the garage would be both practical and
adequate. . Applicant proposes to locate the garage just in front
of the front line of the house, with the closestpoint- of the
garage 5 feet from the northerly property .line and furthest
Point 10 ft. from the northerly property.. line. The closest point
of the northerly -side of. the house is. 30. feet .from the northerly
property- line.
The Board .finds that strict .application of the'_Ordinance
will produce practical difficulties or unnecessary ..hardship; the
hardship created is unique and would not be 6hared by all
properties alike in the immediate vicinity of this property and
in the same use district; the variance does observe the 'spirit
of the Ordinance and will not change the character of the district.
On motion of Mr. Gillispie, seconded by"Mr. Hulse, it was
Southold Town Board of Appeals -5- April 25, 1963
RESOLVED that James Gallo, Pine Tree Road, Cutchogu e,
New York, be granted permission to erect a private detached
garage 20 ft. by 25 ft. approximately 162 feet from the front
property line. The closest point of this garage will be 5 ft.
from the northerly property line and the furthest point 10 ft.
from the northerly property line.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: - Mr. Gillispie, Mr. Bergen, Mr.
Grigonis, and Mr. Hulse.
PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal No. 558 - 8: 00 P.M. (E.S.T. ) ,
upon application of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas L. Burns, 20 Stuyvesant
Oval, New York City, New York, for a variance in accordance
with the Zoning Ordinance, Article III, Section 307, for permission
to reduce side yard setback to 10 feet on the southerly side of
lot located on the east side Hobart Road and west side Founders
Path, Southold, New York. Lot No. 39 on map of Founders Estates.

paid $5. 00.
The Chairman opened the hearing by reading application
for a variance, legal notice of hearing, affidavit attesting
to its publication in the official newspaper and notice to the
applicant.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak
for this application ?
MR. JAMES OLSEN, Greenport: I do. They propose 10 ft.
side yards on each side. This is an 80 ft. lot and they cannot
get the required 15 ft. side yard. Also, there is a nice row
of trees and they want to preserve them. There is village water
there.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak
against this application?
(There was no response. )
Southold. Town Board of Appeals -6= April 25r, 1963
after ,investigation and inspection the Board finds that
'. this is an 80 ft. lot with frontage on two streets, Founders
` Path and- Hobart-Road. . .;,This lot-.contains approximately 16, 000
sq. ft of area. The applicant proposes to erect- a .dwelling
60 ft. wide, therefore he' cannot maintain. side yards of 10 ft.
and 15 ft. as required, `;and he is asking for a reduction to
10 ft. on each side so that the house may be centered on the
lot. Most- of the lots in this section are undersized in -frontage
and area and with side yards .of much less than 10. ft. '' The Board
feels that this is the most practical use of'' the. lot.
The Board finds that strict application of .the ordinance
will produce practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship; ,
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; .and the .variance does observe the
spirit of the, Ordinance and will not change the character' of
the ,district. .
On motion of Mr.. '.Gill:ispie, . secon ded by Mr. Grigonis, it
was
RESOLVED that Mr. and Mrs.." .Thomas `L. Burns be granted
permission to reduce side yards to 10 ft. on each side on their
lot located on the .east side Hobart-Road and west side' Founders
Path, Southold, Lot- No. 3+9 on .map of-' Founders Estates.
Vote. of .the Boardv� Ayes:- Mr. Gillispie, Mr. Bergen, Mr.
Grigonis `°and Mr.- Hulse:
Mr. Peter Senko; . Sterling..Road, -,Cutchogue appeared before
the Board for.. an informal discussion relative to ,the side yard
setback on an addition being erected by'-his neighbor` Mortimer
Conkling: Mr. Senko was advised that first.a survey must, be.
. obtained by. a licensed engineer before he pursues any complaint
or further action . .
