Board of Trustees
Southold,New York 11971-0959 -
Subject: Schlussel/MacFarlane (SCTM# 1000-136-2-6/7/8);Permits to Develop
Dear Mr. Krupski:
Mr. MacFarlane,the contract vendee to the Schlussel estate,continues to pursue a
substantial Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA)variance for a reduced front-yard setback to
site a house on the subject parcel. The ZBA has inquired as to a smaller house,less than
the 2700 square feet of area lately proposed,partly to minimize the magnitude of the
front yard setback variance.
A survey type drawing of the building envelope within the town requirements was
requested. The drawing supplied to the ZBA shows a building envelope of about 1300-
1400 square feet. Within that envelope, a rectangular building of 24x36 feet (864 square
feet)would require only a minimal variance.
The hearing dialog involved issues that probably.are continuing concerns of the Board
of Town Trustees. The developers intend to add about 300 cubic yards of fill to raise the
grade around the house and over the cesspools. Discussion lead to questions about
surface water run-off for which the plan has no provisions. Members of the ZBA asked
for a hay bale environmental fence barrier. We regard such a barrier to be largely
cosmetic. The hearing remains open,but we believe these drainage issues also concern
the Board of Town Trustees.
Please maintain your interest in this petition since it concerns our community
waterfront and is a significant test of the town's ability to sustain the intent of the code.
Beyond the instant case,there are ramifications with respect to other unbuildable lots.
Sincerely,
Tom Wetzel,President

• Performance of annual cesspool dye tests (to check for-seepage into the creek)
Both,are required as terms of the Board of Trustees permits and we suspect the Trustees are
being ignored.

Al Krupski,
Schlussel/MacFarlane Parcel on Eugene's Creek
Background:
Minutes of Trustee's Meeting of 4/24/02 indicate a motion by Artie Foster says a
permit will be issued if:
• the buffer goes to 40 feet wide, and
• a smaller dwelling is planned (one with an area less than 40 x 50 ,
1800 to 2000 square feet).
Motion passed.
BOTT Resolution of 4/25/02 says permit will be issued with stipulation of 40 foot
buffer. (no mention of dwelling size).
BoTT Permit dated 4/25/02 (#5536, signed by AK 7/10/02) sites survey drawing
dated 6/27/02. This survey shows a 40 foot buffer and a slightly smaller dwelling
footprint.
(While testimony before 7/10/02 suggests a one story residence comparable to
those in the neighborhood, to my knowledge no dwelling drawings were provided
or made part of any proceedings.)
A dwelling drawing dated 11/19/02 showing a two story, 2740 square foot, four
bath house is used to file for a building permit. Building permit application
(based upon this dwelling drawing and 6/27/02 survey) is rejected due to front
yard of only 26.24 feet when 50 foot distance is required.
Questions regarding Schlussel/MacFarlane Permit
1. Did the "smaller dwelling' requirement of the original motion slip away, or
was the "smaller dwelling" requirement satisfied in the eyes of the Trustees?
2. If satisfied, what was the basis for the satisfaction?
3. If not satisfied, can the permit be canceled?
4. Did the Trustees know about the larger house before acting on the permit , or
were you blind sided?
Thanks,

ALBERT J. KRUPSKI, JR. ! BAN 9 190
PRESIDENT
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
TOWN OF SOUTHOLD � - -
PO Box 1179
SOUTHOLD, N Y 11971
DEAR MR. KRUPSKI:
I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GARY OLSEN DATED JANUARY 3, 2003 REGARDING A PUBLIC
HEARING ON JANUARY 16, 2003 AT 11:30 A.M. AT THE SOUTHOLD TOWN BOARD OF
APPEALS. UPON REVIEWING THE FILE ASSOCIATED WITH APPLICATION NO. 5259 ESTATE OF
MURRAY SCHLUSSEL, I UNCOVERED A FLOOR PLAN FOR A TWO-STORY HOME FOR WHICH A
FRONT YARD VARIANCE IS REQUIRED.
THE REASON I AM WRITING TO YOU IS BECAUSE I HAVE A QUESTION THAT I FEEL ONLY YOU
CAN ANSWER. THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES ISSUED A PERMIT NO. 5536 TO NEIL SCHLUSSEL ON
APRIL 25, 2002, WHICH WAS A RESULT OF A DECISION MADE AT THE APRIL 24, 2002 PUBLIC
HEARING WHEREBY CERTAIN STIPULATIONS WERE AGREED UPON. FOR YOUR
CONVENIENCE, I HAVE ENCLOSED THE MINUTES OF THAT MEETING AND I HAVE
HIGHLIGHTED THE PERTINENT COMMENTS. IT WAS SPECIFICALLY STATED BY ARTIE FOSTER
THAT THE DIMENSIONS OF THE DWELLING TO BE CONSTRUCTED WERE TO BE 40 FT x 50 FT
OR LESS. THE SIZE OF THE DWELLING WAS A CONCERN AND THE TRUSTEES THAT VOTED YES
AGREED WITH THOSE PARAMETERS. YOU HAD SUGGESTED 60 FT x 30 FT BECAUSE IT WAS A
NARROW LOT. I BELIEVE EVERYONE ON THE BOARD WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION IT WAS A
ONE-STORY DWELLING DUE TO THE ORIGINAL FOOTPRINT OF 2200 SQ. FT., AS DESCRIBED IN
MR. WOLPERT'S STATEMENT. THERE WERE ALSO VARIOUS COMMENTS BY MR. MAC
FARLANE STATING THAT HE`WOULD LIKE TO BUILD A SENSIBLE HOUSE IN COMMON WITH
THE NEIGHBORHOOD."
SOMEHOW, THE FLOOR PLANS IN FRONT OF THE ZONING BOARD REPRESENT A TWO-STORY
HOME WITH DIMENSIONS OF 66 FT x 37 FT. YOU SIGNED A SURVEY THAT DEPICTED A
DWELLING WITH SIMILAR DIMENSIONS ON 7-10-02. MY QUESTIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
1. WHY DID YOU APPROVE A PLAN THAT WAS NOT IN KEEPING WITH WHAT THE
BOARD VOTED ON(IE. 66 x 37 AS OPPOSED TO 40 x 50 OR SMALLER ?
2. IF WHAT WAS BEING LOOKED AT AS A ONE STORY DWELLING MEASURING 2200
SQ. FT. WAS TOO LARGE, HOW DOES A FLOOR PLAN SHOWING A SECOND STORY
AND MEASURING CLOSE TO 5,000 SQ. FT. SHOW UP BEFORE THE ZONING BOARD
WITH THE PERMIT YOU ISSUED? (PLEASE REFER TO THE ENCLOSED FLOOR PLAN
3. IF THERE WAS TO BE A CHANGE IN THE PARAMETERS, SHOULD THERE NOT HAVE
BEEN ANOTHER PUBLIC HEARING?
4. HOW DO WE CORRECT THIS SITUATION?
I WOULD LIKE TO MEET WITH YOU PRIOR TO THE JANUARY 16'MEETING IF IT IS AT ALL
POSSIBLE IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND HOW AND WHY THIS HAPPENED BUT MORE
IMPORTANTLY HOW TO PROCEED FROM HERE. I DO BELIEVE IT WAS THE BOARD'S
INTENTTON TO TRY THEIR BEST TO ACCOMMODATE GARY OLSEN ET AL., BASED ON THE
INFORMATION THEY PRESENTED TO YOU AT THE PUBLIC HEARING ON APRIL 24, 2002. IT
APPEARS THAT THE INFORMATION THAT WAS PRESENTED TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND
WHAT THE BUYER IS ACTUALLY TRYING TO GET ACCOMPLISHED ARE NOT CONSISTENT. IF
MR. MAC FARLANE ISN'T TRYING TO BUILD THE TAJ, WHY DOES HE WISH TO BUILD A HOUSE
WITH FOUR BATHROOMS? THE AVERAGE PERSON LIVING IN SOUTHOLD DOES NOT HAVE
FOUR BATHROOMS ESPECIALLY IN A WETLAND ENVIRONMENT. IT APPEARS MR. MAC
FARLANE HAS DECIDED TO CHANGE HIS PLANS AFTER YOUR APPROVAL. HOW CAN HE DO
THAT?
DO YOU THINK THAT THE PERMIT SHOULD BE RESCINDED OR REVOKED OR CORRECTED
BEFORE THEY CAN OBTAIN ZBA APPROVAL? IT SEEMS THAT WHAT MR. MAC FARLANE IS
TRYING TO GET PERMITS FOR NOW IS NOT WHAT THE BOARD WAS THINKING HE WOULD
BUILD WHEN THE BOARD GAVE ITS APPROVAL. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU COULD
ACCOMMODATE MY REQUEST TO DISCUSS THIS WITH YOU PRIOR TO THE JANUARY 16, 2003
HEARING.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ASSISTING ME IN THIS MAT"IER. I CAN ACCOMMODATE YOUR
BUSY SCHEDULE, SO PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SQUEEZE ME IN WHENEVER YOU CAN.
SINCERELY,

Subject: Schlussel/MacFarlane Property (SCTM #1000-136-2-6/7/8)
Dear Al:
At a recent Executive Committee meeting,we prepared the attached statement to be
sent to and read at the Zoning Board of Appeals hearing on the proposed
Schlussel/MacFarlane dwelling on January 16, 2003.
Not only do we cite reasons for denying this appeal,but it is noted in statement#2
that the submitted dwelling plans are not the plans that the Trustees reviewed in
April 2002. Despite your request for a smaller dwelling, the plans submitted for a
building permit are significantly larger and may have further impact on this site
Please take this under advisement should the Trustees have further interest in this
particular site.
Thank you,
Tom Wetzel
President

Subject: Zoning Variance Request of Schussel/MacFarlane(SCTM# 1000-136-2-6/7/8)—
Hearing of 1/16/03
The Fleet's Neck Property Owners Association, composed of 180 member families on Fleet's
Neck, objects to variance of town requirements concerning the Schlussel/MacFarlane application
for construction of a house on this site. The lot is not suitable for building:
1. Approval to develop this lot would obviously enhance its value,but such development would
degrade community aesthetics and degrade the value of other area lots by blocking the vista.
2. When the house plan was for a dwelling of 1800 square feet in area(April 2002 and before)
the Board of Town Trustees asked for a smaller dwelling more suitable to the site. The house
plan submitted later for a building permit(dated November 19, 2002), calls for a 2740 square
foot,two-story house not in harmony with the setting.
3. The Chapter 100 front yard requirement is for a 50-foot setback. The average setback of the
ten adjacent dwellings is 99 feet. The plan for the dwelling proposed shows a setback of only
26.24 feet. The variance sought is for a distance shortfall substantially more than the distance
required by the code or the adjacent parcel practice.
4. This is a special site. This parcel is one of 57 parcels that meet all four criterion of the Peconic
Estuary Program's Critical Lands Listing. This list identifies 125 acres out of 66,000 acres as
being of critical importance to the Peconic Estuary. A variance allowing development of this
parcel will represent a new"weak link" in precedent for overriding the town code. Soon
similar parcels such as SCTM# 1000-110-1-7.1, 110-7-28 and 087-5-16 will be even more
threatened.
We ask you as members of our community to stand fast and not continue the erosion of our town
code and our neighborhood. We urge you to reject this application.
Sincerely,
J. T. Wetzel,. President
