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 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.

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.
