The next meeting of the Southold Town Planning Board will be held 7:30 P.M. , Tuesday, June 11, 1963 at the Town Office, Main Road, Scu thold, New York. The Board again considered the application of A. John Gada and Margaret J. Gada for a change of zone from "A" Residentialand Agricultural District to "B" Business District on property on Fishers Island. This matter was presented to the Board on May 7th and the recommendation was held overto this date. Mr. Young and Mr. Moisa with Mr. Terry and Mr. Grebe visited the property on Fishers Island on May 13th and made their report. The Board has received sevdral letters from adjoining property owners in opposition to this change of zrn e. Letters were received from: Albert D.- Dawson, Gordon S. Murphy, Serge J. Doyen, Jr. , Mrs. Katherine Paquet and H. Lee Ferguson, Jr. Also many of the property owners in the area have indicated their opposition verbally to the Board members. Mr. Moisa and Mr. Young reported that the property abutts the business property of the Pequot House and it is so narrow it is almost useless at the place where it is adjacent. Also, Mr. Gada indicates that this is a hardship and he is unable to rent these properties for summer occupancy, but the members after investigation found that the property is unrentable because adjoining property is maintained by Mr. Gada as a dumping ground for his contracting equipment and materials. Investigation also revealed that the last tenants on property under consideration were outspoken about the nuisance value of the applicants non-conforming property. On motion of Mr. Unkelbach, seconded by Mr. Moisa, it was Southold Town Planning Board -5- -May 21, 1963 RESOLVED that the Planning Board is not willing to recommend to the Town Board the change of zone from "A" Residential and Agri- cultural District to "B" Business District on the property of A. John Gada and Margaret J. Gada at Fishers Island. This property is bounded and described as follows: All those certain lots, pieces or parcels of land situate, lying and being on Fishers Island, Town of Southold, County of - Suffolk, and State of New York, known and designated as Lots "C", "D", "E", "F" , "G", "H", "I", "J", and "K" on a certain map entitled "Plan of property on Fishers Island, New York, formerly owned by Mrs. Martha E. Hoffort, x now belonging to Southold Savings Bank, July, 1914" and filed in the office of the Clerk of the County of Suffolk on January 2, 1915 as map number 242, together with the driveway shown and delineated on said map, the same being bounded on the south by the said lots C, D, E, and F and on the north by the said lots G, H, I, J. and K. On the tax map this property is bounded north by West Harbor, east by M. Murphy, W Torrance, S. Doyen, Jr. and L. Middelton, south by Montauk Avenue and west by Dawson. The Planning Board is not willing to recommend the change of zone in this case for the following reasons: First, the other property of the petitioner is non-conforming but nevertheless is "A" Residential District and if this property were to be zoned "B" , Business it would intrude in residential areas as per letters of protest on file with this office. This property in question does abut the "B" Business zone of the Pequot House but is sonarrow as to be almost useless at the place where it is adjacent. In the second place, Mr. Gada bases his request for change of zone on the hardship involved in his being unable to rent these properties for summer occupancy. Upon investigation this Board has found that the reason they are unrentable is because the petitioner maintains his non-conforming property as a depot or dumping ground for contracting equipment and materials, and in our file are photographs taken by our investigating team on May 13th showing this condition. Inasmuch as this condition is self-imposed or at least can be rectified by petitioner if he so desires, we fell that a change of zone would not be necessary. Southold Town Planning Board -6- May 21, 1963 In interviewing real estate agents on Fishers Island our investigating team discovered that the last tenants on property covered by this petition were quite outspoken about the nuisance value of petitioners non-conforming property. The contents of our file on this are available to the Town Board at any time. vote of the Board: Ayes: - Mr. Wickham, Mr. Moisa, Mr. Young and Mr. Unkelbach. Mr. Grebe abstained from voting. The meeting adjourned at 7:45 P.M. Respectfully submitted, Judith T. Boken, Secretary John Wickham, Chairman
