Resolution was offered by Mr. Rosenberg, seconded-by Mr. Bergen and carried, 1MREAS application of A. John Gada, a/c Alexander Robinson having been considered at Public Hearing No® 225 on October 81 1959, andthe Board finding that strict application of the Ordinance would produce undue hardship because the landfalls off from front to back of this property causing unusual topographical problems which makes excessive amounts of fill and grading necessary to make a practical approach to the building. The situation is unique and would not be shared 'by -all "properties alike in the itimediate vininity because -the lot in question is one of the larger type lots which are mostly- side hill property. The public convenience and welfare and justice will be served and the legally estab- lisped' or permitted use of neighborhood property and adja0an t use districts would not be-substantially or permanently injured and the spirit of the Ordinance would be observed because the area is strictly residential on lots much larger than required by the Ordinance and on- private roads which do not have a great amount of traffic, therefore be it RESOLVED that the application be granted as applied fore Vote of the Board Ayes®- Mr. -Gillispie, Mr. Bergen, Mr. Rosenberg, and Mr. Grigonis. Mr. and Mrwr Albert Fordham, along with their neighbor Mr. Raymond McKeighan, appeared before the" Board of Appeals for an informal discussion relative to their Appeal No. 221 dated September 157 1959.having been denied. Mr. and Mrs. Fordham 0 Southold Town Board of Appeals Octoher 8s 1959 were denied permission to build a detached garage 10 ft® from their- property lin.e9 Bay View Road9 'Greenport; New York' rather 'than 50 ft*. as required by the Zoning Ordinance® ,Variance was denied on the grounds that it_ is 'not an unusual- or undue hard- ship to have to remove snowy and the -question of expense is not permitted as a 'reason for granting or denying a variance' and the Board finds construction of a separate detached garage 10 ft. from the property -line would affect the outlook of all of the property owners across the street over a distance of at least 1000 feet and -would have a tendancy to cause the neighborhood to deteriorate. Mr. and Mrs. Fordham asked 'the Board if they might receive some consideration toward building the garage as they requested' since placing it 50 ft.-from the property line would cut up their lawn so there would not -be ample room for an attractive lawn and the garage would be very close to the house making its in their opinion unattractive. The dhairman explained that the Ordinance applies to the entire Town and is to protect the welfare of the Tow in general:. Mr m and Mrs ' Fordhain have shown no hardship to warrant a varaice-. The CYiLtman also stated that for the purpose of the Ordinance, ' contrary to Mr. Fordhamss .thinkings ' the front yard is the part of the lot which abuts 'on the streets Mr. Raymond McKeighan stepped forward and stated thats being the next door neighbors he is very muchih favor of the garage being built near the road as he feels it will: enhance his property as well as the Fordham. property. After considerable discussion the Board again advised the Fcr.dhams that the decision of the Board denying their appear for a variance is firm and cannot be' changed, nor 'considered further unless additional evidence is introduced. Mr®Henry Laubers Pequash Avenue and Southern Cross Road' Cutchogues New Yorkq came before the Board for an" informal discussion relative to building a 'detached garage in line-with the south side of his house facing .on Southern Cross Road.
