FSl^PORT • An application fcff a zoning variance to allow the con-stnction
of a foor-ttoty coiidontinism apartment builiUng between
MlIleT-and-Ocean-Avrnues. wieJblockjOTthlgf Swift Creek atidJust
wettofWooddeft Avenue, will be heard by the village's Zoning Board
of Appeals on Wednesday evening, November 17.
The appUcatioa, officially filed
by Mar-Lia Builders, b seventh
on the tncotbly agenda. .The pub­lic
meeting starts at 8 pm.
The projwrty, which is owiied
by T.E.D. CoDstzoction Co. of
West Hen^wtead. was also the
subject of a Village Board of
Tmstees meeting in September,
1979 when the Board established
a new Marine. Apartment Zone
and fczoned that 'particular
parcel to Can within it.
At that time Ted GaeU, prin-.
dpal of T.E.I>. Coostruction and
owner of The Schooner Restau­rant
at the toothend of Wood-deft
Avenue, described his plans
to OQOsttnct two, four-story build­ings,
ead> boodng 75 one-bed­room
condominhun uniu^
For the past three years, the
land has remained empty. Gaeta
explains that financially-the time
was not right nntil now to build
the 'Bnits. The plans preseoUy
filed, says Gaeta, are similar to
the original oikes, but call for a
mix of one' and two-bedroom
luits. The site plan also shows
three buildings, apparentiy one
tnore than plannnl in 1979.
Gaeta, whose corporations also
ownlhe waterfront property just
south (^ this-parcel and-the
property west of that fi.e. the old
Sea Breexe/Rarborview ResUu-tant),
says be plans to put in a
swimming pool and other luiury
&eiSties tot the use of the con­dominium
owners.
The zoning variance is nec­essary
primarily because, under .
Village code, neither the' front
set-back nor the total number of
parking q>aces are'adequate for
the size of (be building and num­ber
erf units. . '
