Description
Proceeding pursuant to article 78 of the Civil Practice Act to review a determination of the Board of Appeals of the Incorporated
Village of Great Neck Estates, which denied an application for a variance. On February 23, 1926, when the village zoning ordinance
was adopted, lot 286, the premises here involved, comprised an area of 10,919 square feet and had a frontage of 80 feet. That
ordinance provided that a one-family house could not be built on an area less than 12,900 square feet in the district where
the lot was located, except that any smaller plot of which ownership at the time of passage of the ordinance differed from
the ownership of all adjoining plots might be improved with buildings if minimum yard sizes were observed. In October, 1943,
respondent purchased an adjacent parcel, corner lot 186, with an area of over 13,000 square feet. In April, 1944, she purchased
lot 286. The combined area of these two lots was about 24,550 square feet. In 1947 the zoning ordinance was amended to require
a frontage of 90 feet for one-family dwellings in the district in question. In 1955 respondent sold corner lot 186, with the
result that her remaining lot 286 had an area and frontage less than the ordinance required as a prerequisite for building.
The appeal is from an order of the Special Term which annulled the determination, granted the variance, and directed that
a building permit be issued. Order reversed, without costs, and determination reinstated and confirmed, without costs. There
is substantial evidence to support the determination. Nolan, P.J., Wenzel, Beldock and Ughetta, JJ., concur; Kleinfeld, J.,
dissents and votes to affirm.
