sq . ft . with frontage along the south side of Main'. Street of 101 . 22
feet , along the east side of Fifth Street of 301 . 67 feet , and
along the north side of Jackson Street of 90 , 11 feet. The entire

Southold Town Board of Appeals -29-August 20 , 1987 Regular Meeting
(Appl . No . 3581 - DAMIEN decision , continued : )
5911 page 167 , dated January 22 , 1966 from Margaret W. Roache .
3 . The subject premises is improved with the following
structures : (a ) one single-family dwelling , and (b) one acces-
sory garage , both constructed under Building Permits #3475Z and
#3646Z . A final Certificate of Occupancy #Z3412 was issued for
the .dwelling on January 28 , 1969 . The dwelling is shown on
survey prepared by VanTuyl & . Son dated July 15 , 1968 to be
set back 40± feet from ' Fifth Street , 28 feet from Jackson Street ,
and 25 feet from the easterly property line . The setback from
the existing dwelling to the_ proposed. division line scales out
to 115± feet .
4 . On September 1 , 1966 , Board of Appeals action was taken
concerning an application for a variance . for . three. lots having
insufficient area.,, under Appeal No . 949 denying " . . .permission.
to divide into three separate building lots . .. . ."
5 . On May 5 , 1967 , Building Permits #3475Z and #3474Z .
were issued for the construction of two single-family dwellings ,
one on the northerly portion of the premises.,. and the_. other on.
the southerly portion . of the premises . A single-family dwelling
was constructed under Permit #3475Z and a final Certificate of
Occupancy #Z3.412 was issued January 28 , 1969. The second
Building Permit #3474Z .expired and.. no construction took place
thereunder .
6 . It is noted that by letter dated. November 5, 1975,
the Town Building Inspector advised the applicant that . n. . . the
action of the Board of Appeals #949 , Sept_._ ] , 1 966 , *dividing
your property on EJS Fifth St. , New Suffolk , ) nto two building
lots , one with frontage.,,,on Jackson St. : and the other with ,
frontage on Main Street;, has not been changed or rescinded. . . .
You still have two building lots on E./s Fifth Street as the
Board set them off in l966.. . ,. . "
7 . During November 1971 and up until May 1983 , the
minimum lot area requirements-of the._„Zo.ning Code .was increased
from 12 ,500 .sq . ft. ., to 40 ,000 sq . ft. After investigation
and extensive .. research ,' 'no documentation- was found in the
Town records substantiating - the prior. Building Inspector ' s.
position . On October 27 , 1980 , Mr. Damien was advised by
letter signed by a Town ' Bu,ilding ' Inspector that the zoning
Southold Town Board of. Appeals -30- August 20 , 1987 Regular Meeting
(Appl . No . 3581 - DAMIEN decision , continued : )
requirements were increased in 1971 , " . . . That you cannot
subdivide property into lots with less than 40 ,000 sq . ft .
in area . . . Therefore you cannot get a permit_ to build another
dwelling on your lot . . . . " Again by letter dated August 6 ,
1982 , Mr . Damien was advised by the Building Department that
the Board of Appeals. denied his application in 1966 for the
insufficient area of three lots and that approval could have
been obtained if he reapplied for the two lots during that
period of time since the requirements at that time were a
minimum lot area of 12 ,500 sq . ft. and subject to approval
by the Planning Board under the subdivision regulations in
effect at that time .
8 . Before , during and subsequent to 1966 , the Southold
Town Planning Board was the proper authority to approve or
otherwise act on subdivisions . The Board of Appeals did not
have authority during 1966 to subdivide , except to consider
applications in varying the zoning regulations as to lot size ,
etc . It is understood that the applicant was told that he
had the right to have two. lots , and, that he would have toapply again . No record was found for approval of the two-lot
subdivision , by any Town or County agency , except that in . 1975
the prior Building Inspector believed that Mr. Damien had
approval for two. lots by the denial of the three applied for
in 1966 .
9 . Today ' s. minimum lot size ,requirements under Article
III , Section 100=.31 , Bulk Schedule of_ the Zoning Code requires
a minimum lot area of 80 ,.000 sq . ft . , minimum lot width of
175 feet , and minimum lot depth of, 250 feet.
10 . Town records show : (a ) the appellants-owners have
always received one tax bill for the entire parcel , (b) there
is one deed of record dated January 22 , 1966 at Liber 5911
page 167 conveying the entire parcel of 28 , 919± sq . ft. to
the owner-appellants , (c ) an application is presently
pending with. the. Suffolk County Health Department for
Article VI Development/Subdivision approval and to date
no final action has been rendered , .(d) an application
is presently pending (filed during May 1987 ) with the South-
old Town Planning Board ,for a set-off division of land and
to date no action has been rendered .
11 . The percentage of relief requested from the lot
Southold Town Board of Appeals -31- August 20 , 1987 Regular Meeting
(Appl . No . 3581 - DAMIEN decision , continued: )
area requirements are : (a ) for the northerly proposed parcel
[Lot A] 84% , (b) for the southerly proposed parcel [Lot B]
80% . The percentages as to lot width and lot depth varies
from 60% to 29%.
1.2 . In viewing the immediate area within Section 117 ,
District 1000 of the Suffolk County Tax Maps , the Board finds
the following lots existing : Lot 11 , Block 9 , containing
2 . 6± acres and situate opposite-. the appellant' s. premises
across Fifth Street ; Lot 1 , Block 8., to the north of
appellant ' s. premises opposite Main Street , . containing_ a
total area of 30 ,00Q± .s,q . 'ft, ;. , Lot 13 ,. Block 10 , to the
south opposite Jackson Street containing 30,0:00± sq . ft . ;
and Lots abutting the subject premises along the east side
presently of Fudjinski and Acker of 15 ,250±.,. sq . ft . and
13 ,000± sq . ft . respectively.
13 . It has been held by the Courts (VanDusen v. Jackson ,
35 AD2d 58 ) that a Board of Appeals cannot under the semblance
of a variance exercise leg_islativ:e powers . It is apparent
that the variances requested are substantial in respect to
lot area , lot width , :lot depth , and would in effect establish
a zone district completely _atIodds with-. all other zone dis-
tricts provided for...in the Zoning Code and-, Zoning Map.
14 Additionally , the Board finds and determines :
(a) that the difficulties claimed are self-imposed ,
particularly due to the in„actio_n of the property owner over
the period of time , from 19.75 to the present time, to obtain
map approval" or other documentation' (such as a vacant Land
Certificate of .0ccupancy , separate tax bills , separate deeds ,
etc . ) .
(b) the percentage' of relief requested is substan-
tial in relation to the zoning requJre.ments , being a variance
from 80% to 29% of the requirements as to area , width , and
depth ;
(c ) there is no other method feasible for appellant
to pursue other than a variance ;_
(d) it is the burden of the landowner to prove that
Southold Town Board of Appeals -32- August 20 , 1987 Regular Meeting
(Appl . No . 3581 - DAMIEN decision , continued : )
the area restrictions as applied to his land imposes signifi-
cant economic injury [Fulling v . Palumbo , 21 NY2d 30]
(e ) the effect , if the variance is allowed , is minimal
of the increased population density thus produced on available
governmental facilities ;
(f) a substantial change will be produced in the
character of the neighborhood since there are lots existing
of a size larger than that proposed herein';
(g ) in view of the manner in which the difficulty
arose and in consideration of all the above factors , the interest
of justice will be served by... denying the variances as applied .
Accordingly , on motion by Mr . Grigonis ., seconded by
Mr . Goehringer , _ .. it was
RESOLVED , that, the relief requested - under - Appeal No . '. 3581
in .the Matter of the Application of GEORGE 'D. DAMIEN.. BE 'AND
HEREBY- IS DENIED .
Vote of the. .Board : Ayes . Messrs . Goehringer , Doyen,
Grigonis , Douglass and Sawicki . - This resolution was duly
adopted .
