The Chairman opened the hearing bar reading the application
for a special exception, legal notice of hearing., affidavit
attesting to its publication in the official newspapers and
notice to the applicant.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak
in favor of this application?
DANIEL SMITH, Southold: I represent the owners. The idea
of building out like this on an angle is to keep from covering
the kitchen window.
THE' CHAIRMAN: Is this going to have a cellar under the
building?
DANIEL- SMITH: There is a cellar under part of the house.
:(The' Chairman explained to Mr. Smith the reason a special
exception was needed to build an addition to the existing
dwelling on this*,'Jot.)
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak
against this application3
(There was no response.).
After investigation and inspectionthe Board finds .that
-Daniel -Smith a/c .Thomas -Pepp.request permission to build an
addition to the existing dwelling with insufficient front
yard setback. The Board finds that this addition will be
29"feet from the road on' Soundview Avenue. The Board feels
that this is a reasonable request and the reduction in the
setback- will- not cause a traffic problem at the intersection
of' Soundview 'Avenue and Kenney31s Road. The Board also finds
that -the addition will- be 56 feet from Kenney,s Road.
The Board finds that the public convenience and welfare and
justice will be served and' the legally established or 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.

THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present- who wishes. to speak
in favor of..this application
MR PERRY HATCH,,. Representative of'Long Island Lighting
Company: -Gentlemen and Chairman of the Board., I represent the
Long..Island Lighting Company. The reason we would like- to
install this sign is .for idenification. , We spent approximately
one million and one-half. dollars on this installation which is
500 feet-back from the- road. We are proud of..it and we would
like very.�:::much to,have this . sign for idenification and advertising
purposes... so. that the residents and citizens are-aware of this
installation,. We. also have -a conforming sign. A 61' x 82 ground
sign at 'the entrance of the .driveway. This sign will say -"I;=LCO
SERVICE". it is the type of sign we are trying to install. in
most of our installations on Long Island.
Southold Town Bba rd of Appi:�ials --4-- December 3*.!964
THE CHAIRMAN: , Is some of this property that the' Long Island
Lighting Company owns in a "B" Business"District?
PERRY -HATCH: ' The first-200 feet of the property is business,
the-- rest is in an "A" District.
We--are hopeful that this sign will make the plant more
attractive. That is our reason for ' asking for the special
exception.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak
against this application?
;(There was no response.)
THE CHAIRMAN: Are there any questions?
'ARNOLD T.ARSEN,, Peconic: Just speaking as a residents, in
connection with the installation=, I think that the sign will be
an 'improvement- on the property. They have done a beautiful job
on- the property.
THE 'CHAIRMAN: Are there any other questions?
-(There was no response.)
After investigation and inspection the Board finds that
-Long Island- Lighting 'Company wishes to place a sign on a
cylindrical tank .-at their generating station in Arshamomaque.
This sign will read .'"LILCO' SERVCQCE",a and .will be four feet
high and sixteen feet long. This sign will be for indenification
and advertising purposes. The -Board is of the opinion that this
sign will be an improvement on the property. It should also
be 'pointed out that this- is the type of -sign that Long Island
Lighting -Company wishes to use on all of its generating stations.
The Board finds that the public convenience and welfare and
justice will be served and the legally established or 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. -

PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal No. 728 - 8: 00 P:M.{(E:S:T.) 1, Upon
application of�Christian- Simonsen Estateg- 0ak and Birch .Avenuer,
- Southold* New York, fora variance in accordance with the
Zoning Ordinance,,,. Article III,,,- Section 3031, and- Article'X.a:- Section
1000At, for permission to divide and sell lots with insufficient
frontage. Location of property: west side Birch. Avenue=; east

of '228,,22%230r and south west one 'half of 251,r252$253n Southoldi
New Yorke, Fee paid $5..00.
The' Chairman opened the hearing by reading application for
a variances. legal notice of hearings affidavit attesting to its
publication in the official newspapers,_ and notice to the applicant. `,.
THE 'CHAIRMAN: is there anyone present who wishes to speak
in favor of-this -application?
ARNOLD .LARSEN: I represent- the applicant. The reason for
this application is the applicant-would lute to make additional
income and have access to the Main Road. He could have an
additional income from .this property.
THE CHAIRMAN:- Which road do you refer to as the main road?
ARNOLD .LARSEN: Oak Avenue.
ERNEST CHRISTENSENz' Goose Bay Estates: is lot number 254
included in this application?
ARNOLD LARSEN: Yess it is included.
. ERNEST `CHRISTENSEN: So that there is a split in the
property.
Southold Town Board of'Appeals -6- December 3a fi964
ARNOLD X#ARSEN: There is no, split in the property. '
;(There was some discrepancy -in reg7rd to the size of the
lots in question. The board viewed the tax map. . These lots
seem- to be 10' or 20' on the road, and they all have numbers.
It-was determined that the applicant has 3�2- lots on Oak*Avenue
and the total frontage is 60 feet. )
' ARNOLD LARSEN: Where the existing house is now, we are
not concerned with. He wants -to put another house on the
back of this property. It would be the same size. This
property- is on a definite road on a filed map. If these people
have the same size lot, without the back,, why canat• this man
divide the property and put this house bach here for. income
purposes. If he can't he doesn't want to buy the property.
THE' CHAIRMAN: He wants to rent the house?
ARNOLD' LARSEN: Yes, for income purposes. There is other
property that has the same area as this. Why should this man
not be- allowed to build? This is. a separate piece of property
and is taxed.
THE' CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone else who wishes to speak in
favor--of this application?
;(There was no response. )
THE :CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who wishes to speak
against this application?
FRANK-HUNDLEY: 'I am a property owner of -Goose Bay Estates,
a Real-Estate --Broker fmr'MIL-MATT.'-Agency in Mattituck, and
secretary-treasurer' of Goose Bay Civic'Association. I would
like to give- you a little back- ground if I may. This originated
in. 1.934, starting out as a summer colony, and on this map there
are some 300 lots varying from 20 feet by 122 feet deep and 140
feet deep that split the property up in some pieces.
THE CHAIRMAN: The map was made part- of the Ordinance, dated
1948.
Southold Town Board of-Apr-.als -7- December -3r 1964
HOWARD ,-TERRY: Goose Bay Estates is not part- of the Ordinance.
Goose Neck was made part ;bf the Ordinance.
FRANK HUNDLEY: The original map was in 1934. In this
development there is Cedar'Avenue, all of these other roads,
even if we wanted to give to the Town are too narrow. We- have
no specifications. At the present moment there are 50 property
owners on the tax roll. The Goose Bay Estates Association was
established in 1948. It was established by the property owners
tomaintain the value of their investment and up hold the
character of the community. Since that time they have maintained
the roads, maintained the beach, and dug the channel. These people
have spent- up to $20.00 in addition to paying taxes each year.
Of the 50 property owners, 31 are good standing members of the
Civic 'Association.
THE CHAIRMAN: What do you mean by good standing .members?
FRANK HUNDLEY: They are active members paying dues.
. There are 47 houses in this area on this map. Twenty"two of
these are
developed by the owners continue as year around
houses, so that this is no longer a summer cottage colony;p
Matter' of fact, if it is anything, it is a year around colony.
I have here a mapeta copy of the map that you are looking
at. Most: of the lines have been eliminated so '- ,that you can see
what the situation is in reference to the location of property and
location of houses.
;(Mr. Hundley presented the Board .with a map,.",)
THE CHAIRMAN: Is this a tracing of the Town Map?
FRANK HUNDLEY: That shows the location of the houses. It
also shows the houses that are year around. I think by looking
at that map, you willsee that the piece of land in question is
one of the smallest in the community,, and if it is divided, it
will become even smaller.
THE CHAIRMAN: Do you mean the frontage or the total area is
smaller than the rest of the property on this map?
FRANK HUNDLEY: The total area.
Southold Town Board of Appeals -8- December 3, -'L964
MR DOYEN: is the frontage and the total area smaller ,
than the average lot?
'FRANK HUNDLEY: if you take the figures 60' x 2401 , it
gives you an area of 14,400 square feet. The present zoning
ordinance requires 12,500 square feet. if this lot is divided
in, two, it will be 7,200 square feet.
THE' CHAIRMAN: This map of Goose Bay Estates is not part
of the Zoning Ordinance, but it is a filed map.
FRANK HUNDLEY: We feel that this situation is not unique
to this lot. The lot next to it has the same problem and the lot
- next to that has the same problem.
THE CHAIRMAN: What would be the difference between this lot
and the lot here on the water? 1pointed to the map)
FRANK HUNDLEY: To split property up in these small pieces
goes against the Zoning Ordinance, especially in view .of the
problem we are having with water and cesspool disposal.. It
seems request- can be made to this Board to split up lots and
make them smaller. We are very much against this. if you
agree to it, than we would have no reason not to do it. If you
were to grant this here on this property,, -we would have .no. _
agrument- anywhere else. You would very easily double the number
of houses that can be put in .on the .empty lots. - We. do -not think
this is your intentions. I would .like to say further that we
have to maintain these private roads and there is no compulsion
on any person to maintain the roads. This Birch -Road. is a
narrow track. This road Hickory didn't exist. We have recently
paved this piece at our own expense.
We feel that it would be best not to grant this variance.
-We believe it is mach better as a group. -. We . do not believe it
is -necessary to divide. this property in order .to ,get a valuable
return. It is possible 'to sell it as it is. .
THE CHAIRMAN: You are probably .familiar with the fact that
it is necessary to prove unusual difficulty, - unique- hardship,
- and not- change the character' of the district. I think your
remaZks have been afressed to the first- two proposals. I don't
think that here the character' fof the neighborhood would be
changed.
Southold Town Board of:AppGals -9- December' .j,' 1964
THE' CHAIRMAN: Would .someone else wish to address the Board
against this application2
HAROLD L ' SMITH:- I own property-on Oak-Avenj,e, not far from
the- property in question. I understand it is necessary for the
applicant to meet three requirements. I think-mr. Hundley did
point .out,- in. some respect the granting of this- application would
alter character. If this variance is granted, it would establish
precedence for other lots .of smaller or larger size. I expect
to make my. home here.
THE, CHAIRMAN: What is -the size of your lot?
MR. SMITH: it is 80' by 1408. I have .four of the 201 lots.
There: are several people who have made their homes in this
community. They started out with summer cottages and improved
them for-' the character of the communitya. greatly improving it
for several years. . To put alot of smaller houses on the property
would -certainly depreciate the area.
- MR.: HUNDLEY: I would like to mention the great strain on
our water supply. We all know that the water level has gone
down. We are now afraid of the salt water and cesspools coming
into the wells. I would- like to point out since the principal
-reason for --the request is for reduction in property, the variance
does notshow hardship. if he can's-t get this variance, he isn'°'t
going to make as much as he would if he is granted this variance. .
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone else who wishes to speak
against this application?
MR WIEMANN Goose Bay Estates: ,, All of .our:reasons for
being against this have been given. - (Mr.- Wiemann also went
into the problem of the water supply i.n' Southold Town. )
MR ' HULSE: Where is your lot and how large is it?
MR. WIEMANN: it is on the corner of Oak- and Pine Streets.
It is 90 feet by 120 feet.
- There was some discussion about the decrease in water supply.
Mr. Wiemann also brought out the problem of detergents seeping
into the ground and contaminating the water.
Southold Town Board of Apr.Gals -10- -December ,,_ 1964
THE CHAIRMAN: Does anyone else wish to speak against this
application?
JOSEPH DROOGANr .Goose Bay Estates: I have six lots in
back of my property and I don't intend to build on them, I have
had them for almost 30 years now, and you will never see a house
back- there, We bou}ht his property with the aim of protecting
our water supply.
THE' CHAIRMAN: That is admirable of you, however, some day
you may be faced with the problem of disposing of this lot.
You see, you. are a long time resident-.and you have kept that
lot . free and clear. What happens when your administrator comes
along and does not- have the same opinion or same . feelings as you
do.
ARNOLD LARSEN: This particular gentlemen spoke of buying
a lot and holding onto it to protect his investment. - Real estate
is for . sale. . Mr.- Wiemann is concerned with the water supply.
He moved from a 17 acre place down to, a lot 90' by 1408, so he
should have thought of that. He can't be too worried about the
water -problem.
I. don't -know if that is a true map you have there. - We have
a tax map and we have a drawing.
THE CHAIRMAN: The tax map can often be wrong.
ARNOLD LARSEN: I think that the house that we are going
to build will be just as good if not better than the houses that
are there now. This man is going to improve the property. .The
small house_ is run down, and I have a buyer to fix that t-house
and build another house on the back. I think he has, a right to have
income property.
THE CHAIRMAN: When you get into two houses on a piece of
property -you get into a situation soft of like a cottage colony.
FRANK HUNDLEY: May-1 remind the Board that .we .have presented
a case where this should not be granted because it does not -show
that the property is exceptional or unique. I believe that we
have shown that there is not an absolute necessity to divide this
piece of land in- order to get :a suitable return. I believe that
we have shown that granting this variance will lead to other
variances which will very definitely change:;,nd alter the character
of the area.
- Southold Town Board of App__is -11- December 1964
GOTTLIEB..NICKLES, Real Estate broker, Southold: I made an
appraisal. from the survey from Otto Van Tuyl. I am in the Real
Estate business and we had a bid on this property.
HAROLD SMITH: I think 1;.that we have shown that he can
make .more .money with this variance and that is why he is
requesting it.
ARNOLD- LARSEN: It is on a filed map and there is a definite
line provided at the property. Not- everyone is going to hold
their property .for ever and not build on it. - You- are allowed to
build if they are separate. lots and this is ,, on a road. This is
an asset and will increase the avalue of the property. .
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone else who would like to
speak .one way or the other in connection with this application?
(there was no response. )
THE' CHAIRMAN: I will reserve decision on this application
ia' order that the Board may look at a survey of this property.

application of James. P_ Manning, 1-Chase Manhattan Plaza,, New

for a variance in accordance with. the' Zon.ing 'Ordinance, Article

west by.-Silver 'Eel Cove. Fee' paid. $5.00.
The Chairman opened the hearing by -reading application
fora variances, legal notice of hearing, affidavit attesting
to its publication in the official newspapers, and notice to
the applicant.
THE' CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone present who. wishes. to speak
. in favor ' of this application?
James P. Manning,. Esq. , was present at the hearing but had
nothing further to add to the application.
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- wishes to set off :a lot with an existing dwelling.
The Board is in agreement with the applicant. It will be a
unique hardship to deny the sale of 'this property for residential
purposes. It will tend to. up grade the use of the property,
formally used as a pump house. There is no way economically to
adhere to the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The structure
on the lot is brick, and is not readily moved. There is no
possible way to enlarge the lot. . Accordingly,. it is the opinion
of the Board that this will not change the character of the
neighborhood. The building in question has not been in use for
approximately 10 years. The purchaser wishes to improve the
property.
t
.. Southold Town Board of'Appeals -15 December 3p, 1964
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 by Mr. Gillispiee seconded by Mr. Hulsee, it was
RESOLVED that James P. Manninge, 1-Chase Manhattan- Plaza,
