Also present: Mr. Howard M. Terry, Building Inspector
PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal No. 38 - Application of L. Barreia Hill, agent for Dr.
James F.DtWolf of Youngs Avenue Extension, Southold, N. Y., for a variance to the l
zoning ordinance, Article III, Section 307. Location of property: East Side of
private road, Youngs Avenue Extension, Southold, .N. Y. , on map of L. Barren Hill.
Application for appeal, letter to Dr. D'Wolf advising him of date of -oublic
hearing and legal notices with affidavits from two local newspapers were read by the
Chairman.
Chairman: "Mr. Terry is there anything you would like to say or any information
you might like to present regarding this application?l}
Mr. Terry: "The first thing
. is that they moved the garage from the old site
without a building permit. I notified the builders, Kwasneski and Powell, that this
was a violation and. was told that it was being built at the owners commaxid. Dr.
DIWolf is the owner and L. Barren Hill is acting as agent. I disapproved the applica-
tion for permit to build on the grounds of insufficient side yards under Section 307
of Article III of the Zoning Ordinance.11
Chairman: I'Is there anyone present who wishes to speak "for" this appeal."
Dr. Betts: "Yes. Mr. Carstensen and I came to represent the people of Hill's hill.
We have a group of houses on this little peninsula. The original garage which was on
the site prior to the adoption of the zoning ordinance was practically on the road,
about one or two feet from the road. Through moral persuasion we endeavored to have

Dr. DtWolf move the garage to the present site. We are pleading for him and hope that
this variance will be granted to him."
Chairman: "Is there anyone present who wishes to speak "against" this appeal? "
It was the unanimous decision of the Board to grant this appeal. It was the
determination of the Board that strict application of the Ordinance would produce
undue hardship because of insufficient room to locate garage and_ breezeway otherwise
on this building lot, hardship created being unique because original garage, erected
before the enactment of the Ordinance, was erected in unsuitable site and was moved
at the reauest of the surrounding neighbors. The variance does observe the spirit of
the Ordinance and would not change the character of the district because there are
other houses with attached garages and breezeways in this development.
It was the decision of the Board to write the builders, Kwa.sneski and Powell. of
Southold, N.Y., advising them that in the future they obtain a building permit before
they proceed with any building or alterations to existing buildings.
Minutes of the November loth meeting were read. On motion made by Mr. Rosenberg,
seconded by Mr. Bergen, and. carried, Minutes were approved.
The next meeting of the Board will be held on Thursday evening, December 19th,
at 7: 30 P. M. in Southold, N. Y.
Meeting adjourned at 9:50 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
Grace B.Meyer
Secretary
