to pursue other than a variance due to the nonconformities of the
land and the restrictions by the zoning code .regulations in other ,
yard areas;

areas;

6. It is the position of the Board in considering this
application that:
(a) the circumstances are uniquely related to the
property; the rear yard area is technically that area between
the dwelling and Southold Bay {Town Harbor} , which is low in
elevation;
(b) there is no method feasible for appellant to
pursue other than. a variance - particularly since the property
is a nonconforming lot on Southold Bay and will -require possible
variances from the Town Trustees and N.Y.S. Department of
Environmental Conservation under the wetland ordinances.
(c) the relief is not substantial in relation to the
requirements;
(d) the variance requested does not involve any
increase of dwelling unity density;
(e) the relief requested will not cause a substantial
effect on available governmental facilities since the structure
is for enclosed parking and storage of the. owner' s own lawn and .
other items;
(f) the relief requested is not unreasonable due to
the uniqueness of the property and the immediate area;
