MR. CHAIRMAN: We have a copy of a survey produced on June 24 ,

as it is attached to the house. We have also a building permit which
is a little more descriptive and we have a copy of the County Tax Map

Southold Town Board Appeals -2- July 8, 1982 Regular Mtg.
(Appeal No. 2997 .- Annette Golden Carnes, continued: )
MRS. WICKHAM continued:
of the history here was set forth in the papers, and I would like
the board to consider the affidavit of Mrs. Carnes as part of the
record. We are asking for approval of the pool and deck, which were
constructed pursuant to a building permit, and it was not until the
final C/O inspection that a different building inspector -required a
variance and sent us to this board. We have a hardship where the
applicant has put in the pool and deck. In order to comply, they
would have to remove part of the deck and they need the deck in.
It' s certainly a unique problem because of the way it arose. It
will not affect the character of the district. There is a hedge
which Mrs. Carnes-estimates "about "four- or-five feet in width. I
don't believe there are any objections from the neighbors. Also,
there were some additional plantings put.-in front on the Bay side
as a result of conferences with the D.E.C.
MR. CHAIRMAN: I have one question, but I will wait to see if
there are any objections. Is there any wishing to speak in behalf
of this application? Is there anyone wishing to speak against the
application?
SAMUEL MARKEL: I am a resident of Southold Town, and I am
also an acquaintance and friend of Annette and Mr. Carnes. I
personally have viewed the situation, and I think the answer is
the story from the building permit and that possible litigation might
result. (Remainder of statement unclear. )
MR. CHAIRMAN: Is there anybody else for this application? (None)
Anyone against? (None) It has been the nature of this board, Miss
Wickham, to consider access to the waterfront and we usually deal with
an eight-foot access. If there is any work to be done along the .
waterfront, it has been our views that .we like to see an access. it
does not show on this survey how much you actually have. Maybe you
could go back and measure to see what the distance is from your
property line to the house.
MISS WICKHAM: You are talking about the south side?
MR. CHAIRMAN: Where the diving board area is , the south side of
the walkway to the boundary.
MISS WICKHAM: It' s about 3 to 4 feet.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Do you want to go with that, 'or do you want to give
us a measurement? I suggest that you give us a call on Monday or so if
that ' s what you wish to do.
MISS WICKHAM: There is at least 6 to 7 feet on the other side of
the house. It didn't feel crowded. If it is three feet, what would
we be able to do with this?
MR. CHAIRMAN: We may ask for you to trim the hedges on the north

(Appeal No. 2997 - Annette Golden Carnes, continued: )
MR. CHAIRMAN-continued:
side of the house to allow for access at some future date, where you
could get a machine in there.
MR. CARNES: We just did it. At the north side of the house.
MR. CHAIRMAN: There didn't appear to be any way near 7 feet, that
is the reason.
MRS. CARNES: The access is actually the left side.
MISS WICKHAM: I don't think they want to trim it too severely
as it has been there for some time.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Thank you very much. Are---:there any other questions from
anybody else?
JERRY BOLGER: In addition to these• .deck=-:areas, the house line on the
north and south sides, of the house would be c(of .a:). width so that they can
be accessible.:.:.-_ -
MISS WICKHAM: I believe Mr. Bolger ( ) was a
basis for the record.
MR. -CHAIRMAN: Does-.anybody else have any:.-questions? (None) Do
any of the board members wish to comment? (None) I' ll make a motion
closing the hearing and reserving decision. [The board awaits the
additiorial' information before deliberations. ]
On motion by Mr. Goehringer, seconded by Mr. Douglass , it was
RESOLVED, to close the hearing and reserve decision until a later
date in the matter of Appeal No. 2997 - ANNETTE GOLDEN CARNES.
Vote of the Board: Ayes : Messrs. Goehringer, Doyen, Grigonis ,
Douglass and Sawicki.
Southold Town Board of Appeals -4- July 8, 1982 Regular Mtg.
PUBLIC. HEARING: Appeal No. 29-98. Application of MARGARET DELLANO,
by. Rensselaer G.-Terry, Esq. , Main. Road, Southold, NY for a Variance to
the Zoning Ordinance, Article. III, .Section 100-30A and B, for permission
to use pre-existing tourist-home altered to a three-apartment building for
use as three-dwelling apartments in this A-Residential and Agricultural
Zone. Location of Property.: 51255 County Road 48 and 50 Clark Road,
Southold, NY; bounded north by Corey; west -by Clark Road;, south .by C.R.
48; east by Aurichio; County Tax Map Parcel No. 1000-135-2-7.1.
The Chairman opened the hearing at 7 :41 p.m. and ,read the legal
notice of hearing in -.its entirety and appeal -application.
CHAIRMAN GOEHRINGER: We have a copy of a survey prepared on
April 6, 1982 by Mr. VanTuyl indicating, the house in question-, which--- is
the nature of this application and where it lies on the property. We
also have a copy of .the County Tax Map showing this property and the
surrounding properties. Mr. Terry.
RENSSELAER G. TERRY.: I appear here on behalf of .Mrs. Dellano,
who as-you read in the application purchased the property in January
of 1952 and continued to operate it as a tourist- home. In addition
the Maples sign continues at the present time.
Mrs. Dellano has always _.-. . _.yin a very pleasant-manner and
so far as I`.knz6w there have been no difficulties, and the .people
residing there have always been of a quiet nature. It.. has been and
will continue 'to be. a�residential area,..,-.,". S nce' some: of_.yo.0 have viewed
the area, you are aware that the- kitchen and living space are very
limited areas" so there would not be 'a large number of persons o.cdupy'.ing
the building.
Mrs. Dellano was. not awar.e , at the time of the change and that
she-.'should have made such an. application. She will be in a financial
bind if she cannot get some relief here. If this is granted, the
character of the neighborhood mill not change. I think it' s quite
a peaceful residential area. _.:_Bedause_Lof the "size of the building it
would be difficult and .you-,'_d have .to have a large family live ,there.
I would like to leave a petition signed by some ,o= the neighbors and
former tourists and ask that you. give favorable consideration.
(Mr. Terry submitted .a petition containing 34 signatures request-
ing this-'--board to approve Mrs. Dellano' s variance application. )
MR. CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone else to speak on behalf of the
application. Anyone against? (None) Hearing no further comments,
I' ll make a .motion closing the hearing and reserving decision until
a later date.
On motion by Mr. Goehringer, seconded by Mr. Grigonis , it was
RESOLVED, to close the hearing and reserve decision until a
later date in the matter of Appeal No. 2998. MARGARET DELLANO.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: Messrs. Goehringer, Doyen, Grigonis,
Douglass and Sawicki.- This resolution was unanimously adopted.
Southold Town Board of Appeals -5- July 8 , 1982 Regular Mtg.
PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal No. 3001. Application for HAROLD E. WALTERS,
by Richard J. Cron, Esq. , Main Road, Cutchogue, NY for a Variance to the
Zoning Ordinance, Article XI, Section 100-115 for approval of suitable
screening around the periphery of the existing junkyard located at 400
Nokomis Road, Southold; more particularly known as County Tax Map District
1000, Section 78, Block 3, Lot 20 '.at Laughing Waters.
The Chairman opened the hearing at 7: 49 p.m. and read -the legal
notice of hearing in its entirety and application for a variance.
MR. CHAIRMAN: I have a copy of a survey prepared on December 18 , 1981
by R. VanTuyl, P.C. of the parcel of land which is . the nature of this
application, and a copy of the County Tax Map showing this and the surround-
ing properties. Mr. Cron.
RICHARD J. . CRON, ESQ. : This is somewhat of an unusual application.
It' s neither a variance or a special exception. It is made pursuant to
Section 100-115 of the code with respect to a junkyard-type of business ,
in that the Zoning Board of Appeals makes an inspection of the property
and to be able to make a determination as to whether there is sufficient
screening. As I have indicated in the application, before the enactment
of the zoning ordinance, he was of the opinion at the date of the
notice of violation that he had in fact secured approval from the Zoning
Board of Appeals when the zoning ordinance was enacted. Mr. Howard
Terry I think can verify that for the board. That is not the important
factor. The important factor is that this board make something in
writing and have specific requirements in terms of screening that we
can 'comply with— screening reasonable in nature.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Thank you. Is there any else wishing to speak for
the application?
HOWARD TERRY. (past building inspector) : Mr. Chairman .and Members
of the board. The Zoning Board of Appeals ' and . I have gone and visited
the site, and. at that time the zoning ordinance- required screening.
I don't classify Mr. Walter' s site as a junk operation. We did go
through all 'of:-:these codes. It is my -understand that. he has made a
research. :_. .I sent a letter explaing it to Mr. Walters. The survey you
have before you shows you where he put up the fence and some trees and
bushes. Mr. Walters met the requirements of the board at the time.
It was the chairman, Mr. Gillispie, myself and Mr. Bergen. I can' t go
down and look through it.
MR. CHAIRMAN: We also did an intensified search and could find
nothing. It was never acted upon bylthe board. We did an updated
search for .280-a's in the town, which;--the Planning Board asked us to
do, and we did go through every application that was ever brought
before the board and at the same time we searched for information
or action concerning Mr. Walters' property and found nothing. However
we did find a lot of 280=.a' s.
MEMBER GRIGONIS: Baring all the facts, I think it' s pretty much
about the same thing.
II
Southold Town Board of Appeals -6- July 8, 1982 Regular Mtg.
(Appeal No. 3001 - Harold E. Walters, continued: )
MR. CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone wishing to speak against the
application? Miss :Wickham.
ABIGAIL A. WICKHAM, ESQ. : I am here representing an adjoining
neighbor, Leslie Kunst, who adjoins the property on the south. She
is concerned about the screening because it does affect her property,
the saleability and value of the property and is concerned about a
possible (. ) `of' .the:_property to the north, which was a problem
at some time. Mr. 'ferry indicated there was some natural .vegetation
that doesn't seem to be there any more. She would like to see something
in terms of a stockade fence along that entire area, not only to the
north but also, as you can see, down the road in the front. She likes
the neighborhood and would like it to have a nice appearance, and we
would like the board to take that into consideration. Mrs. Kunst
would also like to address. the board.
LESLIE KUNST: I own the property on the south side of Mr. Walters '
property, which is 630 Nokomis Road. I am concerned. I have tried to
sell the property. I had an interested buyer,--who turned it down for
the reason there were too many cars .and his property was unappealing.
I feel now there is no possible resale value with the property being
. as it is right now. After I bought the property, it was assessed at
a less value for the fact of my neighbor ' s property, Mr. Walters, and
I think with suitable screening this would help to improve my property
values, and I am concerned about my property values.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone else wishing to speak against the
application? (None)
MR. CRON: I think it should be an interesting factor as to
perhaps who was first in the area, and the objectant came at a subse-
quent date. Mr. Walters is aware that he has to do some type of
acreening .and. it is to be of a type this board should consider. The
screening should be reasonable.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Is there anybody else?
MISS WICKHAM: First of all, the code does require .Board of
Appeals' approval of suitable screening and there is some question as
to what that screening is, and Mrs. Kunst would like to be given a
brief description as '.to what type;.'..as she' has been there.
(Mrs. Kunst made a statement as to how she and her two children
have been harassed byother children after she made a request to the
building department about this problem,. -and how Mr. "Walter.s ' junk
area seems to get better at one point, and then worsens. )
MR. CRON: I don' t think other children have anything to do with
what this application is.
Southold Town Board oz Appeals -7- juiy 8, 1982 Regular Mtg.
(Appeal No. 3001 - Harold E. Walters, continued: )
MR. TERRY: Mr. Walters has been there since back in. the 1940 ' s ,
right after World War II, when junk was Actually over
a period of time it had fallen over the property line and she could
actually have claimed adverse possession because nobody claimed it
for years.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Any further questions? Board members? (None)
I ' ll make a motion to--
MISS WICKHAM: What type of screening are you proposing?
MR. CHAIRMAN: Basically, there are three types of screening --
hedges of a certain minimum size, link fences -- complying with the
code -- stockade fences.
MISS WICKHAM: As to the first two, a hedge can be seen through
in the winter time, and a chainlink fence can be seen through at
any time. As to what happened in the 1940 ' s and 501s , I'm not sure
that is existing. Mrs. Kunst now owns that property, and it does
affect her.
MR. CRON: The board only considers what the ordinance requires.
MISS WICKHAM: Mrs. Kunst wants a stockade fence for aesthetic
reasons.
MISS WICKHAI�think the preparation of the ordinance is aesthetic.
MR. CRON: Not solely.
MR. CHAIRMAN: I' ll make a motion to close the hearing and reserve
decision until a later date.
MEMBERS SAWICKI AND DOUGLASS : Second.

MR. CHAIRMAN: We have a copy of the survey dated November 11, 1980
indicating this property and the access in question approximately 36 . 24
feet .wide, and a copy of the County Tax Map showing this property and
the surrounding properties. in the area. Is there anyone wishing to
speak in behalf. of this application?
VERA GRETCHYN MARINO: First at the outset, I .would like...to offer
into evidence the documents submitted on appeal so they are marked for
authentication.
. (Mrs.. Marino asked the Chairman to initial the papers indicating
that the documents have been submitted for the record, and the Chairman
did initial the same. )
MRS. `MARINO-c: } What:late your initials?
MR. CHAIRMAN: I am Gerard P. Goehringer, GPG.
MRS. MARINO-indicated to the board that--:the wrote to. the Building
' Department during : September last year fora confirmation-that she
will have the permission of the Town Building and Zoning Departments
to construct a one-family dwelling on this parcel. On September 24 ,
1981, George H. Fisher, .Sr. Building. Inspector replied to Mrs. Marino
indicating that the lot is "single and separate with a pre-existing
garage next to the right-of-way property line, " (see Exhibit B sub-
mitted with the application for a variance) . Mrs. Marino said she
purchased the property "in good faith" based on representations made
by the Building Department. Mrs.' Marino objected to the board
requiring her to improve the right-of-way, and that it should remain
as it is particularly since it is used by other parcels along the
right-of-way. Mrs. Marino stated this would be a great hardship
inasmuch as the Building Department assured her that it was buildable
at the time she was under contract to buy it. Mrs. Marino respect-
fully a'skedtithe .board to conference at this time in order to make a
determination now.
MR. CHAIRMAN replied that there are two additional hearings on
the agenda tonight and the board, particularly Mr. Annabel who has
been with us niany:,,<:.manyi,:.times and that we hopefully would have- a
decision for him in the near future. The Chairman asked Mrs. Marion
to bear with the board, and hopefully in the morning weL_would:have,..._
a. determination for her.
MRS. MARINO said she had-an:'-interested buyer, but the sale has
effectively been lost and is now thwarted.
MRS. MARINO: In speaking with many neighbors, this roadway has
been perfectly suitable in_passing:.._i:I would run into serious problems
to do anything to that road . . .that roadway has been that way for
:so.:many:,years. Requiring me as a single person to improve that road
would be a severe hardship.
Southold Town Board or Appeals -11- July_ 8 , 1982 Regular Mtg.
(Appeal No. 3006 - Vera Gretchyn Marino, continued: )
HOWARD TERRY: Check your open development area list. That
takes in an area like a ( ) subdivision, and all the lots It' s
quite likely it is an open development area, which may have approved
this roadway. It may be an open development area.
MRS. MARINO also indicated to the board that it is her understanding
of the law that where the town issues a zoning ordinance different than
when she purchased, that it cannot be enforced. . . she bought the property
in good faith relying upon the Building Inspector' s statements—and if
she is required to comply with the board' s certain standards for 280-a
right-of-ways, the town effectively deprived her of selling the property
as it exists. .She wanted the board to be aware of the above and asked
that the board take everything into consideration.
MR. CHAIRMAN: Is there anyone else wishing to speak in behalf of
the application? (None) Any further questions? (None) . Hearing no
further comments, I' ll make a motion closing the hearing and reserving

request is not substantial in relation to .the code requirements; that
the circumstances herein are unique; that by allowing the variance no
substantial detriment to adjoining properties would be created; that the
difficulty cannot be obviated by a method feasible- to appellant other
than a variance; that no adverse effects will be produced on available
governmental facilities of any increased population; that the relief
requested will be in harmony with and promote the general purposes of
zoning; and that the interests of justice will be served by allowing
the variance as applied for and as specified below.
On motion by Mr. Goehringer, seconded by Mr. Grigonis , it was
RESOLVED, that Appeal No. 2805 , application of VINCENT W. ANNABEL

Southold Town Board of Appeals -14- July 8 , 1982 Reg. Mtg.
RESERVED DECISION: Appeal No. 2914 .
Upon application of NORMAN C. BOOS, One Cedar Street, Massapequa,
NY 11758 , by Stephen F. Griffing, Jr. , Esq. for a Variance to the Zoning
Ordinance , Article III, Section 100-31 , and Article V, Section 100-51 for
permission to reduce land area for existing marina by dividing premises
into two parcels, each with insufficient upland area. Location of
Property: South Side of Bay Avenue (a/k/a 8000 Skunk Lane) , Cutchogue,
NY; bounded north by Bay Avenue; west by Brickley; south by Gross; east
by Hockbauer; more particularly identified as Suffolk County Tax Map
District 1000 , Section 104 , Block 8, Lot 2. 1.
The public hearing on this matter was held on May 26., 1982, at
which time the hearing was declared closed pending deliberations and
referral to the Suffolk County Department of Planning pursuant to
Sections 1323, et seq. of the Suffolk County Charter.
The board made the following findings and determination:
This is an appeal for a variance of Sections 100-31 and 100-51 of
the Zoning Code to set-off a dwelling parcel of land and thus reduce
the area requirements of an existing marina located on the south side
of Bay Avenue, adjacent to Broadwater Cove at Cutchogue, New York.
The premises contain a total area of 117 ,871 square feet. However,
the premises had been dredged to create a boat marina .and an area of
47 ,364 square feet of the premises is underwater land. There is a total
of 70 ,507 square feet of land above water. The premises is located in
the "A" Residential and Agricultural District in which marinas are not
permitted. The marina was in existence prior to the enactment of the
Zoning Code and is thus a nonconforming use.
Appellant proposes to set-off 45 ,546 square feet of the easterly
portion of the premises and construct a dwelling thereon. The proposed
dwelling lot will have a total area . of 45 ,546 square feet of which 12 ,064
square feet is underwater and .33 ,482 square feet is upland.
The Bulk Schedule forming a part of the Zoning Code requires a
minimum lot size of 40 ,000 square feet for a dwelling in the "A" District,
and a minimum lot area of 80 ,000 square feet for a marina in the "M-1"
General Multiple Residence District (the highest use district in which
marinas are a permitted use) .
In a letter of this board to Appellant' s precedessor in title,
dated June 1, 1978 (offered in evidence at the hearing of this appeal
by Appellant' s attorney) , the extent of the marina use at the date of
said letter was for the docking of not more than 35 noncommercial boats.
It is the position' of Appellant that in determining the area of the
property, the land underwater should be included in calculating the lot
area of the marina parcel as well as the dwelling lot sought to be set-
off from the marina parcel. Under such a view, the marina would have a
-lot area of 72 , 325 square feet and the resulting dwelling lot 45 ,546
square feet. The dwelling lot would conform to the bulk requirements ,
Southold Town Board of Appeals -15- July 8 , 1982 Reg. Mtg.
(Appeal No. 2914 - Norman C. Boos, continued : )
but the marina parcel would have approximately 90% of the required area.
If only the upland area were to be included in determining the
area of both parcels, the dwelling lot would be 84% of the minimum
required lot size, and the marina parcel would have 4.6% of the required
lot size. If only upland is used to determine the required area, the
entire parcel has an upland area of 70 ,.507 square feet or 88% of the
area required for a marina use (in the "M-1" District) .
It has been the practice of this board in determining the area of
.a lot adjacent to tidal waters:.'.to :include only the upland in .determining
the area of the lot. The board believes that such practice should be
followed in,--this case. The area of. the upland is important in this case
since the premises are utilized as a nonconforming marina for 35 boats
and will require substantial upland area for parking and other marina-
related uses.
Since the Appellant is requesting an area variance, it is incumbent
upon him to demonstrate that strict compliance with the Zoning Code will
result in practical difficulties.
At the hearing, the only evidence presented on the issue of economic
hardship was Appellant' s attorney' s statement that "the division of the
lots into a residential and a marina. . .would undoubtedly produce a great
deal more money in the event of sale. "
The only other evidence presented was Appellant' s statement that
"The reason for dividing this land is strictly for liability. I wish to
build a house there and live there, and I'd like it separated from the
marina strictly for liability purposes. I .have no intention .of selling
it. I would like to live there. "
The Appellant has failed to demonstrate that strict compliance with
the Zoning Code would result in practical difficulties; and, accordingly,
on motion by Mr. Douglass, seconded by Mr. Sawicki, the variance is
denied.

chogue, NY; County Tax Map Parcel No. 1000-104-8-2. 1.
Vote of the Board: Ayes : Messrs. Goehringer, Doyen, Grigonis,
Douglass and Sawicki. This resolution was unanimously adopted.
Southold Town Board of Appeals -16- ualy 8 , 1982
RESERVED DECISION: Appeal No. 3003.
Upon application of GEORGE H. and BEVERLY G. BOEHLE, Woodcliff Drive,
Mattituck, NY for a Variance to the Zoning Ordinance, Article III, Section
100-31 for approval of insufficient area and depth of two parcels located
at Westview, Mayflower and Woodcliff Drives, Mattituck; bounded north by
Westview Drive; west by Woodcliff Drive; south by Delisle Inc. and Orlowski;
east by Mayflower Road; County Tax Map Parcel No. 1000-107-8-24 & 11.
The public hearing on this matter was held earlier this evening, at
which time the hearing was declared closed after receiving comments , and
pending deliberations.
The board made the following findings and determination:
By this appeal, appellants seek approval of insufficient area and
depth of two parcels which were conveyed to the appellants on August 28,
1958 by separate deeds at Liber 4511 cp 70 and Liber 4511 cp 66. The
area of the northwesterly parcel is approximately 18,000 square feet with
120 ' frontage along Woodcliff Drive, 150 ' frontage along Westview Drive,
and a depth of 150 feet, and the area of the northeasterly parcel is
approximately 18,000 square feet. with 120 ' frontage along Mayflower Road,
150 ' frontage along Westview Drive, and a depth of 150 feet. The north-
westerly parcel has constructed thereupon a one-family private dwelling.
The other parcel is vacant. These parcels are similar in character,
size and shape to those in the surrounding neighborhood. - The board agrees
with the reasoning of appellants under these. circumstances.
In considering this appeal, the board determines that the variance
request is not substantial; that the circumstances herein are unique and
practical difficulties have been shown; .that by allowing the variance no
substantial detriment to adjoining properties would be created; that the
difficulty cannot be obviated by. a method, feasible to appellant, other
than a variance; that no adverse effects will be produced on available
governmental facilities of any increased population; that the relief
requested will be in harmony with and promote the general purposes of
zoning; and that the interests of justice will be served by allowing the
variance as applied for.
On motion by Mr. Goehringer, seconded by Mr. Sawicki, it was
RESOLVED, that Appeal No. 3003, application of GEORGE H. and BEV-
ERLY G. BOEHLE, for approval of insufficient area and insufficient depth
of two parcels, be and hereby IS APPROVED AS APPLIED FOR.
Location of Property: Westview Drive, Mayflower Road and Wood-
cliff Drive, Mattituck, NY; County Tax Map Parcels No. 1000-107-8-24 & 11.
Vote of the Board: Ayes : Messrs. Goehringer, Doyen, Grigonis,
Douglass and Sawicki. This resolution was unanimously adopted.
Southold Town Board of Appeals -17- uUly 8 , 1982
RESERVED DECISION: Appeal No. 2991.
Upon application of MIRIAM BATSON, c/o David E. Kapell, 143 Main Street,
Greenport, NY for a Variance to the Zoning Ordinance, Article III, Section
100-31 for permission to construct an addition to existing dwelling with a
reduction in rearyard setback at Bayview Drive, East Marion, NY; more parti-
cularly known as Gardiners Bay Estates Filed Map No. 275, Lots 123 and 124 ;
County Tax Map Parcel .No. 1000-37-4-3.
The public hearing on this matter was held on June 17 , 1982 , at which
time the hearing was declared closed pending receipt of additional informa-
tion and pending deliberations.
On July 8 , 1982 the board received the additional information requested
June 17 , 1982, and made the following findings and determination:
By this appeal, appellant seeks permission to construct an 1116" by 42 '
deck at the rear of the existing dwelling, reducing the rearyard setback by
11 '6 " . The house as exists and as originally built is set back from this
property line approximately 18 feet. The applicant chooses to construct
a deck similar to that of a neighbor across the water (Subdivision Lots
127 and 128 presently of Brown) , taking advantage of the waterview. The
board is of the opinion that the area is the most practical and feasible
under the circumstances. However, the board feels that a deck of the size
requested is unreasonable and substantial in relation to the zoning
requirements and that. same should be reduced to a minimum of 7 ' by 42"
and that same will never be enclosed or covered by a roof.
In considering this appeal, the board determines that the relief
granted is not substantial; that the circumstances herein are unique and
practical difficulties have been shown; that by allowing the variance no
substantial detriment to adjoining properties would be .created; that the
difficulty cannot be obviated by a method, feasible to appellant, other
than a variance.; that no adverse .effects. will be produced on available
governmental facilities of any increased population; that the relief
requested will be in harmony with and promote the general purposes of
zoning; and that the interests of justice will be served by allowing the
variance.
On motion by Mr. Grigonis, seconded by Mr. Sawicki, it was
RESOLVED, that Appeal No. 2991, application of MIRIAM BATSON for
permission to construct a deck with reduced rearyard area, be and hereby
IS APPROVED, SUBJE.CT .TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS :
1. That the deck be cut back to 7 ' by 42 ' (rather than 11'6 " by 421 ) ;
2. That the deck shall never be enclosed and never covered by a
roof.
