Judge Howell of Mattituck, appeared before the board and presented unfiled map
of his property in New Suffolk and asked for advise as to how he could sell his lots
and comply with the Ordinance. Board advised that the undersized lots could be
divided into six lots of approximately 1251 x 1001 , this would then comply with the
Ordinance.
.Frank Ashby of Greenport presented unfiled map of Cove Park, Greenport, N.Y.
Mr. Ashby said his lawyer had advised him to deed every other lot over to his wife
and this was done 3 or 4 days before zoning went into effect. Recently, .due to the
fact that he realized he would need some sort of variance in order to build on these
lots, he had Mr. Van Tuyl draw up ,a revised map. New map is dated July 8, 1957, but
the lots are still undersized._ Board advised that the map in it1s present form
would not be acceptable as the Ordinance requires that a lot be 125, x 100, and they
advised Mr. ;Ashby to take the matter up with the Planning Board and have them take
a look at the property in_ q_uestion.

There being no response, the board studied this application for permission to
build an addition to the present structure. Rough sketch of project accompanied
appeal which showed an existing porch that is to be torn down and replaced by the
new addition of a bedroom, which would reduce the existing setback by approximately
10 feet. Board agreed that this request for variance be granted as other existing
houses in the district are of various setbacks and the granting of this variance
would not change .the character of the district in question. It was pointed out,
