BOARD OF APPEALS
) be denied and
After investigation and inspection, the Board finds that
the applicant requests permission to eliminate swimming pool
fence, Private Road, Fishers Island, New York. The findings
of the Board are that the applicant owns a swimming pool (con-
structed prior to fencing regulation) situated between an
attractively landscaped home and Block Island Sound to the
south. The pool is located in the rear yard area of the
approximately seven-acre tract. Access is by means of a
dead-end dirt road about three miles from the village. Large
areas of the tract and nearby areas are covered with dense
native underbrush, and the pool is partly protected from casual
intrusion by a steep bank to the south toward the beach. We
agree that the remote location of the pool and it's surroundings
reduces the possibility of accidents involving casual intruders.
A number of pools in the Town of Southold are located similarly
to achieve privacy by means of some or all of the methods noted
by the applicant. No one has been granted a fencing variance.
A fence would not have prevented the only Southold fatality (he
jumped into a partially filled pool). It is the obligation of
the Board to require all reasonable safety precautions.
Accordingly, the Board finds that the hardship is not
unique or unusual and that the aesthetic considerations noted
by the applicant are outweighed, in our opinion, by the need
to implement the safety, health, and welfare of the residents
of the Town as set forth in the openings paragraphs of the
Zoning Ordinance.
The Board finds that strict application of the Ordinance
would not produce practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship;
the hardship created is not unique and would be shared by all
properties alike in the immediate vicinity of this property and
in the same use district; and the variance will change the
character of the neighborhood, and will not observe the spirit
of the Ordinance.
THEREFORE IT WAS RESOLVED, Carl J. Schmid, Fishers Island,
New York, be DENIED permission to eliminate swimming pool fence,
Block 35, Lot 5, Private Road, Fishers Island, New York.
Vote of the Board: Ayes: - Messrs: Gillispie, Bergen, Hulse,
Grigonis, Doyen.

REASON FOR APPEAL Continued
fencing would create an eyesore detracting from the property value with-out
adding
��;}}torrthe adequate safety already present in the property as a whole and
ag PrSTRe(C:Te) PAL R' ISN OF THE ORDINANCE would produce practical difficulties or unneces-
sary HARDSHIP because: Property area - fencing
Our property is located in an isolated area on the south side of Fishers
Island 22 miles from its small village. Access to the area is by an infre-
quently used dead end side road into the center of our property. The pro-
perty is a 7 acre plot bound on the north by the side road already mentioned
and on the south by a high embankment rising sharply about -200 feet above
Isabella Beach on Long Island Sound. To' the east there is a sizeable ravine,
vacant and brush-covered, owned by Fidco, and to the west by a 6 acre property
owned by the Estate of Jansen Noyes Sr. My property is completely surrounded
by and isolated thru dense natural brush type growth and inaccessible other
than thru the private road mentioned. Opposite to my property on the north
and across the side road is a vacant brush covered area which I own.
The pool is located about in the center of the property on its south side
50' in from the edge of the sharp high embankment rising from Isabella Beach
and further protected by a dense hedge about 4' high along the embankment.
2. The hardship created is UNIQ-UE and is not shared -by, all properties alike in the immediate
vicinity of this property and in this use district because
From the description it is .obvious -that -the property is in an isolated area
in which there is little traffic . Itis well enclosed with natural protec-
tions offering even greater security than a fence. Accidental in trustions
do not occur.
Therefor I feel I should not be required to erect further fencing and re-
quest a variance from section 2A of 100-35
3. The Variance would observe the spirit of the Ordinance and WOULD NOT CHANGE THE
CHARACTER OF THE DISTRICT because of the previously stated isolation of the
property.

Gentlemen:
appeal No. 2338
The advice of the action taken in respect to the
above numbered appeal, referring to the elimination of
a swimming pool fence on my Fishers island property,
reaches me in Florida.
To quote from your findings, "We agree that the
remote location of the pool and its surroundings reduces
the possibility of accidents involving casual intruders."
This confirms the bases for my request. Your position
in denying it, namely, that no one has ever been granted
a variance as a matter of principle -- does not seem a
strong, valid reason. In fact, on that bases, access
to water of every kind on this Island should require
fencing.
I am not in agreement with your ction.
You s ly,
Ca 1 J. Schmid

THE CHAIRMAN: Previous to this application, on September
1st the Building Inspector wrote to Carl J. Schmid as follows:
(The Chairman read the Building Inspector' s letter, )
and Mr. Schmid' s reply. ; The Chairman also read
Mr. Schmid' s letter of requesting that the
Board postpone this hearing until the Spring. )
I guess you said, Serge, that he' s left for. Florida,
right?
SERGE DOYEN, JR. : Yes. What he says is absolutely true,
that place is just about inaccessible except through the
single road. There is a big ravine that makes a natural
barrier, underbrush, they are just about impenetrable, it is
true.
ROBERT BERGEN: Have you been down there?
SERGE DOYEN, JR. : I to6k those pictures you've got there.
(The Board discussed the pictures of the house and the
surrounding property. )
SERGE DOYEN, JR. : Without exaggerating it' s an extra-
ordinarily beautifully landscaped place. But the purpose of
the fence is to keep some kid from falling in, what can I say.
Like a lot of these guys say, "My pool has been there 20 years
and hoBody' s fallen in, not even a cat. "
STEVE KATZ : Are there children in the family?
SERGE DOYEN, JR. : That' s what I asked him, he's got
grandchildren, but he said they not allowed near the pool.
THE CHAIRMAN: They're not allowed near the pool except
under certain conditions.
FRED HULSE, JR. : They would be inside the fence anyway.
THE CHAIRMAN: Does he allow the grandchildren in theLhouse?
FRED HULSE, JR. : It looks like there 's plenty of room.
SERGE DOYEN, JR. : I don't know, if you have an ordinance
for a fence around a swimming pool that means you have an or-
dinance for a fence around a swimming pool. If you go along
with .the intent or the purpose of the Ordinance, I don't know
how you'd vary it.
THE CHAIRMAN: Does anyone wish to speak for this application?
(There was no reponse. )
Anyone wish to speak against this application?
(There was 'no response. )
I have to speak against it and state that the Ordinances
of the Town of Southold are constructed for the observance of
all citizens in Southold including the residents of Fishers
Island.
SERGE DOYEN, JR. : By the Constitution of the State of
New York. You can't have an ordinance that excludes part
of the Town.
THE CHAIRMAN: Equal treatment under the law requires
that Fishers Island residents not be excluded from the Town
Ordinance.
CHARLES GRIGONIS , JR. : They may argue that it was put
in before the Ordinance.
SERGE DOYEN, JR. : You might throw in there somehow that
aesthetic value might not 'add up to the harm that could be
done by not complying with the provisions of the Ordinance.
THE CHAIRMAN: Aesthetic considerations are outweighed
by the importance of maintaining the health, safety, and
welfare of the people.
SERGE DOYF�T, JR. : It's true, if a kid falls in how can
you justify it. Aesthetically you could look for 1,000 years
and you couldn't justify it.
CHARLES GRIGONIS, JR. : Was the Ordinance written so
that it applies to pools that are pre-existing?
THE CHAIRMAN: Yes , they give them six months to comply.
Of course, on Fishers Island they're rarely there for six
months at a time.
(There was further discussion of Fishers Island. )
The physical barriers surrounding the applicant' s pool
are not impenetrable. The Ordinance was designed to protect
properties which have an"attractive nuisance. " To protect
residents of the Town from "Attractive nuisances. " And
domestic animals too.
SERGE DOYEN, JR. : Put it this way, I can listen to this
flack for a long time but I couldn't listen if a kid fell in.
Schmid
-"eke-Beamed-f
After investigation and inspection (etc. ) . . . . .
The Board finds that the applicant owns a swimming pool
(Constructed prior to fencing regulation) situated between an
attractively landscaped home and Block Island Sound to the
south. The pool is located in the rear yard area of the
approximately seven-acre tract. Access is by means of a
dead-end dirt road about three miles from the village. Large
areas of the tract and nearby areas are covered with dense
native underbrush, and the pool is partly protected from
casual intrusion by a steep bank to the south toward the
beach. We agree that the remote location of the pool and
its surroundings reducet9 the possibility of accidents in-
volving casual intruders. A number of pools in the Town of
Southold are located similarly to achieve privacy by means
of some or all of the method noted by the applicant. No one
has been granted a fencing variance. A fence would not have
prevented the only Southold fatality (he jumped into a part-
ially filled pool) . It is the obligation of the Board to
require all reasonable safety precautions.
Accordingly, the Board finds that the hardship is not
unique or unusual and that the aesthetic considerations noted
by the applicant are outweighed, in our opinion, by the need
to implement the safety, health, and welfare of the residents
of the Town as set forth in the opening paragraphs of the
Zoning Ordinance.
The Board finds that strict application of the Ordinance
would note.>produce . . . . . . . .

Attn: Building Inspector ''"
Dear Sir:
I am in receipt .of the Section 100-30 of the
zoning code for Suffolk County as requested, with
your own comments as to certain- latitudes in com- .
plying with this ordinance. Its purpose is clearly
stated.
In my case we have five acres of property on
which the residence .and swimming pool are situated.
Ninety nine percent of this piece of property is
completely surrounded by almost impenetrable natural
barriers to which an additional fence would add
little or nothing to prevent unauthorized access to
thisproperty .' If we were to provide proper Closures
to the limited access that exists to this property,
the purposes of the ordinance would be effectively ,
complied with , and would eliminate a very considerable
expense in totally fencing in our property.
As to enclosing the 'pool itself, any structure
would be an actual eye sore and detract immensely
from the front appearance of my property. It would
be the very last thing that I would contemplate.
My home is located in a sparsely settled area, , :
;.:�,
with no year round residents. The privacy of homes
in this area is well respected, and the possible
careless wandering into our property practically nil .
Consequently, fences of any kind, with the natural
barriers already surrounding these larger properties,
would contribute - little if anything toward the further > '_
safety factor, the intent of the ordinance. -
Inasmuch as you suggest a fence around the whole
z.
' -mply with Ordinance
property would - 100 it
would appear to me that the proper closure to the
the
limited access to our
fen
same protection as a �eeifyerectedpr and woulddwithout
the very considerable expense. It would also prevent
having to erect an eye sore on the property.
I would appreciate your letting me know if it
is possible to get a variance to this effect.
Sincerely,
