RESERVED DECISION : Appeal No . 3231 .
Upon application for DOUGLAS MILLER, Montauk Highway , Quogue , NY for
a Variance for approvals of accesses , New York Town Law, Section 280-A,
over two private rights-of-way, one known as "Kirkup Lane" and the other
as "Laurel Way" located at the South Side of Sound Avenue , Mattituck ,
(near Laurel ) , to premises identified as County Tax Map Parcel No .
1000-121 -4-10 containing approximately 7 . 2 acres .
The public hearing on this matter was held on June 21 , 1984,
at which time the hearing was declared closed pending deliberations .
The board made the following findings and determination :
By this application , applicant seeks : (a ) approval of access over
a 20-25 foot right-of-way having traveled widths of approximately :
[11 nine feet within a length of approximately 2 ,018 feet and
[2] eight to 10 feet narrowing in places to ..s_even feet for a
length of approximately 1 ,608 . 59 feet , known and referred to as
"Laurel Way Right-of-Way" ; and (b) approval of access over a
16=foot right-of-way along the easterly side of a 47 . 136-acre
parcel presently owned by Peconic Homes Corp. having a traveled
width of approximately 10 feet for a length of approximately
1 ,665 . 18 feet , known and referred to as " Kirkup Lane" to the
7 . 2-acre parcel in question (now or formerly of Mulvihill )
Southold Town Board of Appeals -10- June 28 , . 34 Special Meeting
(Appeal No . 3231 - DOUGLAS MILLER, continued : )
identified as County Tax Map -District 1000 , Section 121 , Block 04 ,
Lot 10 . - Both rigghts-of-way .are more particularly shown on the
map -pre.ppared by Young &' Young. revised April 10 , I984 , Survey File
No . 84-146 .
Concerning "Laurel Way Right-of-.Way , " the first 250 feet , plus
or minus , meanders in and out of .treed areas and it is questionable
as to whether the traveled right-of-way is within its legal perimeter .
The road material consists of stabilized sand and medium size gravel
on hard-packed sandy loam , a,nd 'the _surface has numerous potholes and
depressions to two ..to.. four inches , along the 2 ,018-foot .length . In
continuing down this right-of-way , the board also found .many sections
12 or more below the existing abutting grade levels . This southerly
.portion of "Laurel Way" has a base consisting of varying mixtures o.f
sand , loam and gravel ;and the surface has a few . smaal washouts and.
depressions . Within. the last 250 feet , more or less , there are steep
descending grades to the .-.end of the road . At the times of inspections ,
there was water from the Lake standing in the latter 75-foot length
area , and the water level was about five feet below the end of the
-
road. It is the recommendation of our town road. inspector that the
"Laurel ' Way" right-of-way should not be considered for access because
Of poor alignment an.d. tight turns , narrow road width and necessity of
tree remov.a.l , poor sight on turns. , necessity of .filling of wetlands
in the. last' 75 ' area unless an alternative route is made . This board
recommends an ,alternative route extending northerly rather than this
75 ' westerly to_ avoid filling or changes_ to the Lake area , as well as
the extensive improvements (as stipulated below)_,
Concerning "Kirkup Lane" right-of-,way , it is the opinion of .
the board that, same would be- the_ better choice since the surface
consists of compacted gravel with depths of .3" on a hard-packed base
of sand and. loam . The traveled road.., appears to be within the 16 '
_width shown on the' Young: & Young map , i_.s stable and in good condition ,
and has an even profile . If .subdivisions are proposed or pending
concerning property_having access within this right=o.f-way_, an updated
review and additional widening must be considered to _a .minimum of 16
feet wide, and possibly greater depending upon the circumstances.
. Th.e applicants are. awa.re. that they may or may not have a legal
right to use_,the presently traveled " Kirku.p Lane".__..right-of-,w.ay.__ due to
the_ termi.nol o'gy i_n the deed to. James: V. Mulv_i h,i l l- at Li_be_r_„51._09 ,
cp 35 , recorded January, 10 ;. 1962 ; therefore , the decision made under
this _ap,pli cation— is sub.jec.t to a leg.al _right to use either of the -
subject_- rights-of-,way i_n beh'al f .of. ,the appl i cant'( s ) . - In the event
it _is foun _d thatapplicant (s ) or subsequent owners will not have a
legal right to use..,. this "Kirkup Lane" .right-of-.w.ay , and also that
no improvements are made-to the "Laurel _Way." right-of-.way_ as
stipulated in this decision , then-. the applicant (s )__ or_ subsequent
owners to this property w.i.11 be required to return to this. board due
to... lack of .appr.oved access pursuant to New York Town Law;. Sec . 280-A.
In considering this appeal , the board also determines : (a ) that
the relief .requested is not substantial ; (b ) that by granting the
relief requested , the character of the neighborhood. would not be
adversely affected ; (c ) that by allowing the variance, no substan-
tial detriment to adjoining properties would be created-; (d) that
Southold Town. Board of Appeals -11 - June 28 , 1984 Special Meeting
(Appeal No . 3231 - DOUGLAS'.MILLER, continued : )
no adverse effects will be produced on available governmental
facilities of any increased population ; (e ) that the relief requested
will be in harmony with and promote the general purposes of. zoning ;
(f) that the plight of the owner is due to unique circumstances ;
(g ) that in view of the manner in which the difficulty arose , the
relief requested cannot be obviated by some method feasible' to
appellant other than a variance , and (h ) that the interests of
justice will be served by allowing the variance , as indicated below.
Accordingly , on motion by Mr . Goehringer , seconded by Mr .
Sawicki , it was
