MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
Appl. No. 4740 - GEORGE ANDJEAN BRAUN 1000,53-4-11
STREET & LOCALITY: 2005 Bay Shore Road, Greenport
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: September.30, 1999
FINDINGS OF FACT
PROPERTYFACTS!DESCRIPTION: The applicants' property is a waterfront lot known as Lot 33 on
the Map of Pec.onic Bay Estates, with 50 ft. along Bay Shore Road and 328 ft. deep located in
Greenport, Town of Southold. The lot isitnproved with a single-family two-story frame dwelling
with accessory garage located in the required rear yard area as shown on the June 10, 1982 Van
Tuyl Survey.
BASIS OF APPEAL: Notice of Disapproval dated July 22, 1999 regarding the location of an existing
garage, which will be to the side of a proposed addition at the rear of dwelling.
RELIEF REOUESTED: Applicants are proposing an addition at the rear of dwelling, which Will place
the existing garage partly in a side yard. Applicant is not requesting a building permit regarding
the garage, which has a valid Certificate of Occupancy No. Z-3971 issued September 23, 1970 by
the Town.
REASONS FOR BOARD ACTION. DESCRIBED BELOW: On the basis of testimony presented and
personal inspection, the Board makes the following findings:
(1) Grant of the requested variance will not produce an undesirable change in the character
of the neighborhood or detriment to nearby properties because the garage has existed for 30
years and has a Certificate of Occupancy No. Z-3971.
(2) The benefit sought by the applicant cannot be achieved by locating the garage or the
addition to the dwelling in any other location.
(3) The requested area variance is not substantial.
(4) In considering this application, the Board deems the grant of the variance for the garage
in its location (existing for 30+- years) to be the minimum necessary and adequate to preserve
and protect the character of the neighborhood, and the health, safety, welfare of the community.

TOWN OF SOUTHOLD
FINDINGS! DELIBERATIONS AND DETERMINATION
MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
APPL. NO. 4744 - EDWARDANDJUDYDART 1000-74-3-15
STREET & LOCALITY: CR. 48 and E/s Peconic Lane{Peconic.
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: September30,l999
FINDINGS OF FACT
PROPERTY. FACTS!DESCRlPTION: The property is 2.012 acres in size and, is T"shaped with
frontages of 155.2 ft. on the south side ofC.R. 48 and 120 feet along the east side of Peconic
Lane! Peconic. The property is zoned R-40 Lbw-Density Residential. A survey by Roderick
VanTuyl, L.S. dated November 24,1976 shows a 2-1/2 story frame house set back approximately
59 feet from the west front oroperty line on Peconic Lane and more than 230 feet from the east
rear property line.
BASIS OF APPEAL: Building Inspector's September 1, 1998 (and August 27, 1999) Notice of
Disapproval of application to subdivide the property into two parcels. The reason for the
disapproval is that the proposed division would create a nonconforming lot of approximately
31,000 sq. ft. in the R-40 Residential Zone District where a minimum of 40,000 sq. ft. is required.
AREA VARIANCE RELIEF K.::OUESTED BY APPLICANT: Applicants request a variance for a
proposed division of land as follows: Parcel A of 55,920+- sq. ft. fronting Peconic Lane, and Parcel
6 of 31,000 sq. ft. of vacant land. The unimproved Parcel '6', fronting on County Route 48 would
be substandard (nonconforming).
REASONS FOR BOARD ACT10N:
.On the basis oftestirnonypresented, material presented, and personal inspection! the Board
made the following findings:
(1) Applicant is attempting to sell the property. Its relatively large size! and its
unconventional shape, are hindrances to the sale. Based on market response over the past year,
Applicants believe that the requested division is preferable, both esthetically and economically! to
the division approved in App!. No. 4622.
(2) Grant of the requested variance will not produce an undesirable change in the
character of the neighborhood or detriment to nearby properties because the character and
appearance of the improved lot fronting on Peconic Lane (Parcel "A") will not change, and the
vacant lot fronting on c.R. · 48 (Parcel "6'') will. be of a size consistent with the neighborhood.
(3) There is no evidence that grant of the requested variance will have an adverse effect
or impact on physical or environmental conditions.

(4) Grant of the requc5ted variance is the. minimum action necessary and. adequate to
enable Applicant to make his property salable while preserving and protecting the character of the
neighborhood and the health, safety and welfare of the community.
BOARD ACTION/RESOL.UTIQN: Cn motion by .Member Collips, second~by Chairman Goehringer,
it was
RESOLVED, to GRJ~r\T the \'ariance as applied for, subject to the CONDITION that Parcel A
(the larger parcel) shall be subJect to a covenant, to be filed with the Suffolk county Oerk,Jhat will

bluff. The dwelling is approximately three years old.
BASIS OF APPEAL Notice of Disapproval dated August 13, 1999 regarding a
proposed 16 ft. deep by 32 ft. wide in-ground accessory swimming pool structure
disapproved for the reason that it is being proposed at fifty (50) feet instead of

the Zoning Code states that a minimum 100 ft. setback from the top of the bluff is
required.
RELIEF REQUESTED: Applicant requests a variance to locate an accessory 16
ft. by 32 ft. in-ground pool 50 feet from the top of the bluff at an angle, as shown
on applicant's sketch (from the survey map). The easterly side yard for the pool
is shown to meet the current code minimum-setback requirement (10 feet).
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Applicant has submitted a letter dated September
13. 1999 from George B. Michos, Consulting Engineer. with inforrnation
regarding applicant's site. Mr. Michos indicates that the construction of the pool
in the proposed location will not disturb the top of the bluff or increase pressure

STREET & LOCATION: 50000 Main Road and JOCkey Creek Drive, Southold
DATE OF PUBLIC HEARING: August 18, 1999
FINDINGS OF FACT
PROPERTY FACTS/DESCRIPTION: The subject property is located on the southeast
corner bf Main Road and Jockey Creek Drive in Southold. According to a survey by
Joseph Ingegno dated February 19, 1999, it has a total area of 20,264 sq. ft. with a 200
ft. frontage on Main Road and 90 feet on Jockey Creek Drive. The property is improved
with a frame building used as a hardware store, and frame shed/garage, It Is zoned B
General Business.
BASIS OF APPUCATION: Building Inspector's April 5, 1999 Notice of Disapproval
denying an application to construct an addition to the principal building. The reasons for
denial are as follows:
(1) Under Artide X, Section 100-102, the Bulk Schedule for the B District
requires a minimum rear yard of thirty-five (35) feet. The proposed rear
yard setback is indicated as twenty-six (26) feet.

--
REASONS FOR BOARD ACTION. DESCRIBED BELOW: Based on the testimony
presented, materials submitted and personal inspection, the Board makes the following
findings:
(1) The proposed addition would extend the hardware store's Main Road frontage by 25
feet, from 68.6 feet to 93.8 feet, and would be 40 feet deep on the north side facing
Jockey Creek Drive. Applicant states that this is the only reasonable and cost-effective
way to achieve a needed expansion.
(2) The rear of the existing building is 41.6 feet from the rear lot line at the
c10sesJ: point. Although the addition will be less deep than the existing building, the rear
yard setback will be reduced to 26 feet at the closest point (under Applicant's original
proposal) because the rear walls are not parallel to the lot line. The shape of the
property is such that applicant requires a rear yard setback variance in order to build a
reasonable addition to the store.
(3) The Board concludes it is preferable to follow Applicant's original plan for
setting the addition's front wall back approximately 5 feet from the line of the existing
front wall, and at the September 30 hearing Applicant agreed to this. Grant of a rear
yard setback variance authorizing 26 feet at the closest point to the easterly lot line will
not produce an undesirable change in the character of the neighborhood or detriment to
nearby properties because the addition will not substantlally change the nature of the
building or Its appearance in the neighborhood.

Southold Town Board of Appeds
28, 1999, included tr-e 'following resolqtion interpreting Code section 100-83C, which
applies to the. Limited 8us:ness zone and is worded identically to section 100-103C:
"RESOlVED, that the Sc.ard interprets the meaning of section 100-83C to be that a
structure shall have no more than sixty linear feet of frontage On one street, so that a
structurE: with two streetfrontagessatisfies section 100-8:3C ifit measures no more than
60 Iineqr feet on one of those frontages." This interpretation applies as well to section
100-103C. Therefore, the propcsedbuilding frontage of40 feet faGing Jockey Creek
Driv~ satisfies section 100-1 03C and no variance is required fortheproposed frontage of
93.8 feet on Main Road.
RESOUITION/AOION: _ On (notion by Member Collins, seconded by Member Homing, it
was
RESOLVED, to GRANT the requested variances authorizing a rear yard setback of
26 feet at the closest poin-c to the rear lot line and a front yard setback of 95 feet from
Jockey Creek Drive, suqjeG to the CGNDmON that, in accordance with Applicant's
original proposal, the front wall of the addition shall be set back 5 feet, more or less,
from the front wall of tile existing store; and further
RESOLVED, that pursuant to this Board's authority under section 267-b1 of New
York Town Law, the Building Inspector's Notice Of Disapproval dated April 5,1999 is
hereby reversed with rf'..spect to the proposed length of building frontage facing Main
Road.
